Quick note! When I went to take more footage for some B-roll, I noticed that my camera saw the TV's image as _much_ more color-saturated than my eyes do. With the color cranked up like it is, in person the image looks pretty normal, in fact I'd still say a tad washed out. But for whatever reason, the RGB coloration seems to match the camera's sensor so well that it sees really strong color.

@KyraHogue 3 жыл бұрын

@Maiahi I politely disagree. In this video, the warning is less than 10 seconds and is usually very short when mentioned in his videos. I'd hope the inconvenience of a few moments of warning would be a small price to pay for the peice of mind of others who have photosensitivity issues. Even if they are few and far between. My symptoms are nothing compared to a seizure, but can last 30 minutes to an hour + if I'm not warned to look away. If others mistakenly think a few moments of flashing lights will harm their eyes, it's a great opportunity for tangential learning, and may help them become aware of an issue that thankfully only plagues a small percentage of us. I hope you have a good one.

@zf9903 3 жыл бұрын

@Maiahi One more small point I’d like to make - having a seizure can easily become more than an inconvenience if the person having the seizure happens to fall and hurt themselves because they lose proper motor function. People watching these videos could easily be watching on their phone while standing, perhaps in the kitchen or garage or anywhere else, as I do often. To have a seizure isn’t just incapacitating, there is a great risk for physical harm - fractures are semi-common as a side effect, which would necessitate many months of healing time. Keep in mind that even if someone doesn’t get physically harmed, having a seizure is often pretty jarring and especially to children, traumatizing. So while a some people might not be bothered, there is a good chance that the among the many millions of people who watch TC’s videos, a seizure warning will save at least a few of them from things that are much much worse than an inconvenience. Also, I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of people becoming “convinced” they have epilepsy. Generally it’s hard to mistake if you have a seizure. I don’t get them, but the symptoms and side effects are common knowledge.

This is an old principle, which was also used in mechanical television. The big advantage is that it is possible to transmit an ordinary black and white image and change the color filter in front of the screen only by means of synchronization pulses. This is a big saving, because that color would basically form in front of the TV screen of the device itself, thus it would not be part of a complex signal.

@@klausstock8020 Probably not understood. I present, a mechanical television, that is, a television with a Nipkow wheel, which was already working in color. If the color wheel was not on a common shaft, it was necessary to synchronize it with pulses. These impulses directly in the signal were basically color information and that was the saving. Your video was an application on a CRT TV, which is not a good solution, so they tried to hide it in glasses, which is not good at all. I managed to make a black-and-white color TV by hanging a frame with artificial glass on it and shining it with colored light (I don't have time for frequency specifications, synchronization, etc.). The condition was that the image was not allowed to be interlaced, so I had to change the standard, etc. The image was perfectly in color on a black and white screen. Color filters for the film were made on a computer.

I owned one of those DLP TVs back in the day. It was the first HD TV I'd ever bought, back 2005. The LCD TVs at the time had only 60 Hz refresh rates and pixel-response times in the tens of milliseconds, so there was big-time "ghosting" when motion went quickly across the screen. And the Plasma TVs were *so unbelievably* expensive. So I opted for the DLP. It was a decent TV -- at first. After about 6 months, I noticed it started to get darker in the bottom quarter of the picture. Samsung had created a "light tunnel" to ensure all of the light from the projector bulb would get shunted to the DLP chip -- but, in their infinite wisdom, had only glued in every *other* mirror, relying upon friction between the glued-in mirrors and the not-glued-in mirrors to hold the not-glued-in mirrors in place. Needless to say, after a few months of daily heat-cycles, the not-glued-in mirrors fell off and piled up in the bottom of the "light tunnel," thus blocking a noticeable portion of the light. Did I mention the fact that the warranty was only 90-days long, and they wanted to charge me almost as much as I had paid for the set new to fix it? Needless to say, I took that TV apart several times over the next couple of years to glue in mirrors that they should've glued in when they made the damn thing. And when the TV was almost 4 years old, I'm sitting there watching it and I hear a "pop." Suddenly the picture went all "rainbow." Not the rainbow effect that you see when you quickly move your eyes, but an actual full-screen rainbow, not moving, across the entire picture. The color-wheel had stopped spinning entirely. The bearings in the motor just flat wore out, and the shaft jammed itself at a weird angle inside the motor housing, causing the color wheel to instantly stop -- hence the "pop" sound. I inquired at a local TV repair shop about how much it would be to fix it, and I was told that he'd never seen one last 4 whole years -- that particular model's color-wheel motors all had died at 18 months, according to him, and I should consider myself extremely lucky to get 4 years out of it. He then quoted me a price that was more than a new TV to fix it, and refused to give me any warranty whatsoever on the fix, since he'd have to buy the parts from Samsung, and they were the same unreliable parts that had broken in the original TV. But, by then, LCDs had *greatly* improved, so I trashed that p.o.s. Samsung TV and went and bought a Sharp LCD TV. I was much happier with it.

My grandmother had a b&w TV well into my early childhood but I was always amazed at how her TV could show colour whereas mine could not. She had this filter plate that was hung on the face of the TV that if looked at straight on would give a great colour image. The more your angle of viewing increased the colour would become washed out until eventually all was b&w again. She couldn't tell me where she got it only that it was in the late 1960's. I have to suspect that this is the same filter used on the TV in this video.

@matiasd.7755 8 ай бұрын

I read about those filters. They give wrong colors. It's not the same that you're watching here. To have the correct colors, you need the television set receiving the image, decomposing it to the three separate color components, save those three monochrome images in memory... then scan the monitor at 3x the normal speed (thats 180 whole scans a second vs the 60 scans tvs normally do) No tv set had memory nor any of the required circuitry to do all that in the 60's....

I worked in video film & video production in the early 2000's and I recall using these monitors on the sets because, as you say, they worked well in bright ambient light. SONY also made a small high brightness monitor for on-set or location use, but they did it by over-driving the CRT tube and then putting a MASSIVE heat sink around it, which made them quite heavy for their size, and they still got uncomfortably warm if you put your hand on top of one. These JVC's, which had slightly less accurate color rendition than the SONY's, were preferred by the crews due to their much lighter weight and cooler operation. (The last thing you wanted on a big film or video set were devices that add more heat) So we used these monitors for general lighting and camera/action blocking purposes and,, then we usually had at last one professional SONY or IKEGAMI monitor to make color-critical decisions.

Just to add a bit more info on Tektronix role in this: Tektronix actually invented this color LCCS technology for use with their Oscilloscopes back in the mid-1980’s! You see, before digital storage oscilloscopes were a big thing everybody used analog scopes. The difference is that while a DSO uses an ADC to store voltage readings and then digitally display them, an analog scope directly displays the voltage readings by (essentially) hooking them directly into the vertical deflection amplifier of the CRT. This meant the incoming voltage directly controlled the vertical position of the beam on the CRT (the horizontal position was controlled by a sawtooth oscillator that moved it left to right over and over again at a set rate). This means the waveform you were viewing was a vector and thus had no “pixelation” or resolution limitations, aside from the phosphor dot size of the CRT. (Think of old vector arcade games like Tank Commander.) Now, this is great but has one disadvantage: These CRTs were a bit special, using electrostatic deflection instead of magnetic deflection like a CRT TV uses. This is for speed and control. (Think about how fast the beam would need to be deflected to view a 1GHz signal!) You also had a limited choice of phosphor colors (generally white, amber or green-blue), because the phosphors needed to be “long persistence” and *very* bright so you could see waveforms at very fast sweep rates. On top of this, due to the way the scopes work, using a shadow mask was out of the question. So, there was no real way to make a color analog scope. Until Tektronix came up with the NuColor LCCS system in 1983! Using polarized color filters and LCD shutters they were able to release several color, high speed analog scopes in 1984 and 1985! However, it didn’t end there: They went on to further develop this technology and put to use on their digital CRT raster display scopes in the early 1990’s! Due to the lack of shadow mask and additional electron guns, B&W CRT monitors are much crisper, higher resolution, lighter, cheaper, smaller and less complex than color CRT monitors. So, Tektronix used this LCCS system to provide a high resolution color CRT that was much better than any comparable color LCD or CRT monitor on the market at the time. An additional advantage is on the lower-end, non-color version’s of these scopes they could use the exact same CRT, chassis and components, they would simply leave out the color filters, LCD shutters and drive electronics. This greatly simplified the manufacturing process. Some of the Tektronix TDS500, 600 and 700 series scopes released between 1990 and 1995 had these displays and they were *amazing*! Super crisp and very vivid colors! I’ve got a 1GHz TDS700 series scope with one and it’s very striking to look at. (The only issue is if you’re not looking directly at the screen, but instead catch it in your peripheral vision, the flickering is noticeable.) Sadly, by the late 1990’s/early-2000’s LCDs started catching up and the technology was abandoned.

Tektronix scopes are great. I was a tech years ago and the rule was generally, "Tektronix for o-scopes, Simpson for meters, and Hewlett Packard for all other test equipment." Sadly, I don't think HP makes test equipment anymore; they are known for consumer computers now but until the 90s HP made really high end test gear. At least Tektronix is still around, last I heard.

@timbdotus 4 жыл бұрын

@Helium Road Yea, HP made excellent gear back in the day! I’ve got quite a bit of their early-80’s vintage gear sitting on my bench, still in regular use. (Frequency counter, 7.5 digit DMM, precision power supplies) and they are rock solid. (They were much cheaper and just as good as modern alternatives, albeit quite a bit larger!) HP still makes lab equipment to this day, in fact they make some of the highest performance test gear currently on the market, including scopes. In the mid-2000’s HP spun off their test gear division into a new company called Agilent. Then, a few years back Agilent split again, creating a new company called Keysight to handle just electronics and RF test gear, while Agilent focused on biological lab equipment. So, they’re still around, they’ve just had a few name changes. Tektronix is also still around, they still make good scopes, but the transition to digital was hard on them. They were bought up by a conglomerate in the early-2000’s. They also bought quite a few other smaller companies, such as Keithley (who made some of the best DMMs). So, they’re both still around, Tektronix has come out with a few innovative scopes in the last couple of years, but they’re still behind Keysight in terms of price/performance in the high end. Both companies almost complete got out of the low end, which is now dominated by Chinese companies like Rigol. (Tektronix is still strong in education, but that’s likely due to a stronger sales force and massive discounts.)

Do all analog scopes use electrostatic deflection? I've got a Tektronix 453 scope right next to me right now and I love it. Never realized it might not actually be using magnetic deflection

@allanrichardson1468 4 жыл бұрын

Any CRT display that uses vector beam movement must use electrostatic deflection, and here’s why: electrostatic deflection is proportional to the instantaneous voltage applied to each pair of plates (the beam passes between a pair of plates above and below the beam, and then between a pair of plates on the left and right; each pair of plates pulls the beam toward the plate with a positive charge and pushes it away from the plate with a negative charge). Since the amplified signal waveform, and the sawtooth sweep waveform generated internally, are both voltages, and the plate pairs draw no current, the beam is deflected at each instant according to the voltage. Magnetic deflection, on the other hand, uses the changing magnetic fields generated by two two-piece shaped coils of wire combined into a yoke around the neck of the tube. The deflection is proportional to the CURRENT flowing in the coils at each instant. But a coil has self inductance (because it generates a magnetic field), and the wire has resistance. This makes the current flow waveform different from the voltage waveform, and the relationship between them depends on the frequency (the higher the frequency, the less current flows) of each spectrum component. For raster scan devices, both deflection current waveforms need to be sawtooth waves, of two standard and unvarying frequencies. So the horizontal and vertical oscillators each generate the VOLTAGE waveform that will create the desired CURRENT waveform at the designed frequency. This is much easier than feeding a RANDOM UNKNOWN voltage waveform into a black box that will turn it into a different voltage waveform that will make a current waveform that looks like the original voltage waveform when applied to the specific model of deflection coil. Magnetic deflection can move the beam through sharper angles, allowing a shorter neck length for a given screen size than electrostatic deflection, but it’s only practical for raster scan applications such as television and displaying regular arrays of pixels from a computer memory, not for randomly moving one pixel around a screen in a random pattern.
