Tv Evolution

The first TV

On July 1, 1914, the British scientist Archibald Low presented to the Society of London the first model of what would eventually be one of the most popular inventions of our time: the television.




There is not much documentation about the technical features of Low´s Model. In any case, it was introduced as an apparatus for transmitting moving pictures and with the possibility of issuing long-range, which reproduced and 1500 frames per minute.


As with so many other technical innovations, the reaction of the first and privileged viewers was total surprise, if not contempt. We must remember that radio was still, and it would remain for several years, the star of the era, the creator of dreams. They say that when Archibald Low reported the price of ingenuity, the rejection then it was total.


The disk Nipkow
Low was not the first nor the last to be closer to the idea of television. In the year 1884, the German inventor Paul Nipkow made public on that later was called Nipkow disk, a browser image plane and punched in the form of a circular spiral from the center of the circle outward. When turning, each hole captures a different element of the image you want to project in a photoreceptor, transmitting it.

Although primitive, the Nipkow´s disk would mark an epoch in the search for the transmission of images, and served as the basis for the experiment of Archibald Low to the post and definitive. In 1928, the Scottish engineer John Baird invented a television system that included infrared rays to capture images in the dark. As he got to transmit the live image of a child from London to New York.

Very soon, the BBC would show interest in their investigations, and in 1929 began the first official transmissions of what is today the most widely used means of communication and influential in the world.

The domestic television receiver has been doing over the years become increasingly complex. The modern TV is no longer just an element to tune into the broadcast programs. Is a unit complex, controlled by software capable of receiving and displaying teletext services and can decode and play back high-fidelity music releases. In addition, the amount of digital circuitry and software in modern television (almost as abundant as in any of the spacecraft from the eighties) allows you to adjust and control the taste of the viewer through a remote control device. The majority of televisions available plug connectors for video recorders and video game consoles. The idea that the TV is something going on just to be starting to be quite outdated.

The world's largest TV

A plasma TV with a high-definition screen of 150 inches (3.8 meters) was unveiled by Panasonic as the world's largest to date, said an executive of the company at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

VA3A5JZ912 Sharp, the smallest TV world´s tuner

With the curious name of VA3A5JZ912 reaches of the hands of Sharp, which today is the smallest TV tuner in the world, or at least say that since the Japanese manufacturer.

Its small steps, 7.3x6.3x1.25 millimeters, which can be installed and make (almost) any gadget. It is capable of tuning the Wansegu, the Japanese digital TV. Another of its main characteristics is its low consumption of only 85 mW.

Begin to occur at a rate of one million units per month starting in September. When did we see in our gadgets?
