RCA electronics’ scientists and engineers made important contributions to the development of radar, sonar for submarine detection, the sniper scope that made it possible to see a target in darkness. Thus the progress of perhaps the peacetime decade was compressed into four short years. 1945: The war over. After four years of unparalleled war effort, denial, sacrifice, the American public hungry for the rewards of peace; and television with its promise of endless hours of enjoyment, entertainment was part of the peacetime dream . . . the road was long, difficult, but it led to one of the historic inventions of our times, the RCA tricolor television tube, the tube with the heart of a rainbow.
It's interesting how, depending on the national origins of the documentary, you will get different names of inventors and dates of it first being demonstrated in public. As a Brit, I was always told a Scotsman, JL Baird had invented TV, but in Germany it is probably Nipkow or whoever, and in America it is whoever paid for or produced the documentary.
@@heathwirt8919 Yes, in the US I seem to recall seeing David Sarnoff being interviewed with a (Russian? Nipkow?) gentleman inventor, although I thought the inventor of the vacuum picture tube for tv was Philo Farnsworth. Japan has an entirely different version of the dawn of tv, as does Germany, Russia, the UK and just about every developed country in the world. The truth seems to be that the development of television happened almost simultaneously in around six or eight countries, and that any name linked with the 'invention' of tv is just that - a name linked with it. I've not been able to find an international timeline of the first few vital steps towards television that wasn't influenced strongly by entirely understandable national pride. 'Inventors' have become idols, as in the case of the UK's John Logie-Baird, and in some cases it genuinely was a bona fide invention as in those early days of the late 1800s/early 1900s it was not easy to get news from abroad in the way it is nowadays. If anyone has an accurate timeline it would be excellent to read about the dawn of television, because as a Brit I was brought up to believe it was a Scotsman who first demonstrated tv, albeit a mechanical system. We are also told that London had the first scheduled tv service in the mid 30s, but who knows the truth about the reality of that? I do not decry any individual who worked so dedicatedly towards achieving this phenomenon, and have only intense admiration for those wonderful pioneers, wherever they came from.
@@Tampo-tiger RCA under the steady hand of Sarnoff and almost limitless budget of RCA, developed a complete broadcast system from studio to TV set and everything in between. Including sound studio, TV cameras, mixing console, links to transmitter sight, transmitters, antenna arrays, receiving antennas and TV set. RCA even had specially built trucks containing a mobile studios to do live events with video radio links to the main studio. There are many talented individuals that over the course of decades from around the word that invented and built the individual components. It was an incredible accomplishment and each one deserves our admiration. John Baird's 1000 scan line color TV is an incredible accomplishment several decades ahead of its time. The history of Television is fascinating and certainly one of the greatest accomplishments of the 20th century.
J.L.Baird invented a television, but when it was tested against even a very rudimentary electronic system (405 line black and white), it was found to be deficient- and then his studios were destroyed by the fire which gutted the Crystal Palace in 1936. Poor Baird.

4:10 nearly 30 years ago from this film they had the first working tv. if you look at where the internet is at today in 2023 and go 30 years back, the public internet was in its infancy there wasnt really web browsers yet. Netscape navigator came out in 1994 so its almost like we are at the point in the internet where this film is set in the timeline of television.
Suddenly I'm back in the auditorium of my elementary school watching this type of presentation. How bananas get to the United States, how shoes are made - promotions by the related industry group.
I'm amused that the documentary tells us television was "officially publicly debuted" in 1939 in New York, when the Germans had beat them to it in '35. Somehow RCA _conveniently_ left that out. 😀 And of course no mention of Boris Rosing at all, the first person to -- fully electrically -- take an image collected by a camera and display it onto a picture tube, circa 1902. _Those_ were the very early days of television!
The first public TV was in Germany. Already the Olympic Games 1936 were broadcast on TV. Manfred von Ardenne was the one who made the Braun tube suitable for television. And don't forget: Dr. Walter Bruch (1908-1990) developed the first electronic television camera, the iconoscope camera, for direct transmission of live broadcasts. During the live broadcast of the XI. Walter Bruch personally stands behind the camera at the Summer Olympics in Berlin in August 1936. He also developed the PAL color television system, which, in contrast to the American NTSC (NeverTheSameColour) process, offered far better picture quality.
No it was at its worst when reality TV was everywhere. The saturation of reality TV is still bad but not like it was 20 years ago. If you include streaming services and cable options, television has never been better. As for the center of family life, that hasn't been true since the '70s. Maybe a bit in the '80s but cable and TV's in multiple rooms meant everyone was watching their own show - sporting events and major broadcast events being exceptions in my family. Streaming accelerated that trend. That isn't a problem of content but of options.

Terrestrial television should always be introduced as early as 1921, cable television as early as 1922, satellite television as early as 1923, pay-per-view television as early as 1924, pay also known as premium also known as subscription television as early as 1925, widescreen television as early as 1926, open matte television as early as 1927, high-definition television as early as 1934, ultra high-definition television as early as 1935, 2D television as early as 1936, 3D television as early as 1937, digital terrestrial television as early as 1990 and digital cable television as early as 1992 from as to most.
This was produced in 1956, when RCA/NBC offered a limited amount of color programming. Less than a dozen shows were regularly telecast in color on NBC's schedule, and some very expensive color "spectaculars". In contrast, CBS telecast only a few programs in color because of their intense rivalry with RCA/NBC [they finally ceased regular color telecasts {with a few exceptions, including the yearly presentation of "The Wizard of Oz"} from 1960 through 1965. ABC was too cash strapped- and couldn't afford the technology for color transmissions until September 1962 [and even then, on a VERY limited basis until 1965].
First was 60 scanning lines, then doubled, tripled, and tripled again. Hmm. 60*2*3*3. That's 1080 scanning lines. Why is he describing HDTV in the 1950's?
Excellent video! Great video. Also, Hovhannes (Ivan) Abgari Adamian (Armenian: Հովհաննես Աբգարի Ադամյան; 5 February 1879 - 12 September 1932) was an Armenian engineer, an author of more than 20 inventions. The first experimental color television was shown in London in 1928 based on Adamian's tricolor principle, and he is recognized as one of the founders of color television.
The first experimental color television (Jan Szczepanik's invention) was patented in 1897 and prototype was shown to the public in Vienna in 1898, then improved device was presented at World Fair 1900 in Paris.. Szczepanik was also first to come with color rasterizer (now we call it scanner) and color photo paper. Kodak was founded on this licensed patend in 1926.
@@OhirRipe True. Often, those who refine a procedure or device, advance it, based on novel or related principles, or create something better, later, are often wholly credited with 'inventing; the item. Jan Szczepanik was a genius and giant who died too young, and he should probably be credited for being the first, even though it was of course a different technology than the later and modern color TV signals. A pioneer, Jan Szczepanik was an innovator par excellence and called the Polish Thomas Edison. The first attempts for creating color television started well before the 1920's, or even late 1890's, from immediately after the creation of first mechanical black and white televisions in the 1880's. While French inventor Maurice Le Blanc proposed creation of mechanical color television, it was Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik himself patenting a color television system in 1897, managing to achieve color reproduction by using a selenium photoelectric cell, electromagnet, prism and oscillating mirror! He has other inventions, too, worth mentioning, but sadly, this innovative system did not work well, and this invention remained unsuccessful. Other devices emerged over the years and were refined. Indeed, Jan Szczepanik deserves credit and he has a huge list of other inventions, to boot. He is one among many giants of the greater Polish people/geographic region, many of whom remain ignored. Copernicus included in that impressive list of Polish inventors, with Maria Skłodowska-Curie, etc. This video is a good start, and is not perfect, but the comments section has great information! FUTURE VIDEO IDEAS: Video on Polish inventor Jan Szczepanik. Video on Armenian Ray Damadian invented the MRI but was overlooked for any Nobel prizes due to being a Christian (7 day-creationist).

Stumbled across this video 5 years after it was posted. A fascinating film considering its RCA propaganda. With all the innovations that came from the RCA labs since before wartime, It is astonishing that “the most trusted name in electronics” would eventually close.
Story TV has been great to view, especially when they who produce this series are not bias against color of skin nor different parts of humanity that are not living within the sovernity grounds of the United States of North America. This proves the understand what predjudice nature of those that government rule, might have cause hardship of oppressed and poor.
Why did they stop during the war? They could have carried on with some sports and plays etc. They could have controlled it so nothing was given away to the enemies of America.
You are absolutely right about that one, because in 1986 when the black & white transistors broke down at the WQED public television affiliate in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Fred Rogers replace them with color transistors, and that when the final black & white broadcast came to an end. Now yes you are absolutely right that Mister Rogers Neighborhood is extremely important for what television brought about for the novelty of what television has potential for!
Striking video also for its almost total absence of women. We forget just how bad it was when everyone was sorted and pigeon-holed at birth according to what eh doctor said was the sex. Branded for life! Whether female or male, you had to fulfill that role. Of course men's roles were many and varied,: they were just pigeon-holed into a bigger- much bigger - hole. Thank goodness for all the advances for all people. It's still bad out there - we all know it - but come on - look at this video! We're certainly better off for the liberation of women, people of color, and all others that don't want to be told who they are and what they can do.

Television 📺 really took off once colour came in thankfully it didn’t stay black and white. 🙋♂️

I'm the slime oozing out of your T.V. set.
The history of television 📺 needs to mention Mister Rogers Neighborhood, because that was so important!

You are absolutely right about that one, because in 1986 when the black & white transistors broke down at the WQED public television affiliate in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Fred Rogers replace them with color transistors, and that when the final black & white broadcast came to an end. Now yes you are absolutely right that Mister Rogers Neighborhood is extremely important for what television brought about for the novelty of what television has potential for!

By who's viewpoint?
Striking video also for its almost total absence of women. We forget just how bad it was when everyone was sorted and pigeon-holed at birth according to what eh doctor said was the sex. Branded for life! Whether female or male, you had to fulfill that role. Of course men's roles were many and varied,: they were just pigeon-holed into a bigger- much bigger - hole. Thank goodness for all the advances for all people. It's still bad out there - we all know it - but come on - look at this video! We're certainly better off for the liberation of women, people of color, and all others that don't want to be told who they are and what they can do.
