Baird Unveils Television





John Logie Baird, a Scottish inventor, gives the first public demonstration of a true television system in London, launching a revolution in communication and entertainment.

Wogan's Talkshow from BBC1 10 august 1988 with Margaret Baird and Betty Astell commerating the 100'th anniversary of the birth of John Logie Baird - The man who achieved the first real television pictures.

Mechanical Television I





Starting the Nipkow disk with 32 line NBTV video standard and vertical scanning. This is a video standard similar to that John Logie Baird used in the 1920's. Displaying the Indian Head test pattern. The black vertical bars in the starting process are part of the synchronisation signal. The moving vertical bars in the test pattern are due to different frame rate. The Nipkow disk operates with 12.5 frames per second, the camera with 25 frames per second.

The Man With The Flower in His Mouth





Originally this was made for the BBC by John Logie Baird to demostrate his (rather crap) TV system. It was broadcast live from 133 Long Acre, London, on the 14th July 1930. Obviously it was not recorded. In 1967 it was remade by Bill Elliot, a technician working at Granada TV (he had too much time on his hands). It used the same 1930's equipment and techniques and the 30 line output was recorded on audio tape recorder. (God Im boring myself) The original producer Lance Sieveking rerturned to produce the show, ...

The Man With A Flower In His Mouth - 30line TV BBC





This a recreation of a BBC program from 1936. In 1968 Granada TV recreated the first TV play using the same 30line John Logie Baird TV camera. It was recorded on reel to reel running at 30isp. The only part that is from the 1936 program is the music taken from a transcription disk.
