- Kaibeezy 6y agoCame here to say “video or it didn’t happen”. Was not disappointed. Terrific explainer, thanks for posting. It seemed odd not to use a rotating cylinder rather than a disc, for parallel rather than curved scan lines. The cylinder could have become a tape, which would have reduced the size of the apparatus, although not as sturdy. /end steampunk mad inventor daydream
- monkpit 6y agohttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_television I just fell down the rabbit hole of Broadcast Mechanical Television... very interesting stuff! I’m still not quite sure how the broadcast tech worked for the individual scan lines - I wonder if it was similar to later TV signals, or completely different?
