32 LINE CATHODE RAY TUBE TELEVISION

[jaworskij]

"...my lucky stars up above" ... (picture starts to roll upwards) ... Synchronicity.

[mummyjohn]

Dude, SO cool.

[keetonbob]

Just wondering if the sound is from an old set too. Sounds very warm, so it got me thinking tubes.

[pfp215]

Pip-Boy

[voon100]

Can you play AVI files on it?

[QuaziGNRLNose]

VATS

[Arabhacks]

Oscilloscope tubes, complete with the oscilloscope, are easy to get, just buy an old scope!

Everywhere, ebay, hamfests, yard sales, older equipment can be had.

And, old TV sets are everywhere.

[TheIndustrialphreak]

you should rick roll people with the 32 line crt.

[lexxsimf]

it would be much more interesting if display will be made of white leds, 32x57 according to 16:9 ratio or 32x43 for 4:4 ratio.. it is impossible to get oscilloscope tube, but leds are free to get. but..i think it would be much complicated to scale analog tv signal to this matrix..mus be a processor, memory to collect and form digital picture for this matrix..display controller...

[andretatontos]

I wonder if the very first TV is like that XD

[gushhnet]

@andretatontos No, it was even more rudimentary.

[blackprealis]

this reminds me of WALL-E

[PnutButter1986]

Fallout

[samthurlby]

@PnutButter1986 Reminds me of New Vegas

[steidl001]

We've come a long way since CRTs!

[AndyDaviesByTheSea]

When I started as a radio and TV repair engineer back in the "Body, tip, spot" days of electronics my boss told me when he built his first television all he could get were "long persistence" CRT's. He said it was OK so long as the person on the screen didn't move around too much or too quick. I think Norman would have been tickled pink to see himself like that. Well done! Kind Regards ... Andy gw0jxm

[DorohnL]

whoa this is would a perfect fallout pipboy haha

[tiberianfiend]

Reserve your space in a vault today!

[Kubakpsv]

Fallout :)

[thedragonb0y]

The television is not a big truck! The television...TUBES!

[AZproductions117]

@Juanpb1983 What?!?

[xboxatinamedotcom]

please get a better camera

[njetblaj]

Would have been cooler with the contrast of showing Lady Gaga or someting :) Interesting though.

[Minecraftiens]

i feel like im playing fallout

[gregaaron89]

Help me Obi Wan!

You're my only hope!

[xxxlordvionxxx]

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thewii552]

oh, and you could've rickrolled everybody, but you put this in.

[lazyfreedom98]

I

C

E

Up...good Stats distribution too...

[SMGJohn]

I want to BUILD one!

[joesitter20101]

Excellent job!. You certainly deserve a good pat on the back, sir. Thanks for sharing it with those of us who can appreciate what you have accomplished.

[KRAFTWERK2K6]

Playing Pong on a eerie glowing green 32 line CRT must look amazing :)

[6cody5]

THAT IS SOOOOOO MUCH LIKE FALLOUT 3!!!!!

[johanlaurasia]

It amazes me how resolute a picture can be with just 32 lines of resolution... neat job.

[PerspectiveEngineer]

Obi whan I need your help

nice work

damn star wars is about half as old as tv.

so far so fast.

[killcar5nbike2]

I love the things we of sound mind do when we get bored, coolest thing I've seen in ages.

[sazrob]

@killcar5nbike2

Thanks!



[sideim]

@killcar5nbike2 whats this we bullshit....

[mnagmobile]

@killcar5nbike2 arrogant prick.

[iggy151]

This is so cool it's almost creepy.

[anax22]

u should stop playing fall out 3

[lannooje]

@anax22 You think that was from FallOut 3?

[anax22]

@lannooje well that seem to be the real one

it look much like the game

[12fig]

@anax22 Just go die in a fire,it's really quite simple.

[anax22]

@12fig i didn't say it is shit or any thing but i admit it i love Hi-tech so that's not my type

[TheZach5417]

I guess 1080 dpi is out

[thedarkone2134]

Bad picture but still beautiful, it's like looking into the past.

[Nabo00o]

Wow this is like going back in time. When I first began to see what you could do with an oscilloscope it was like really high tech. But when people begin to show real pictures it has strikingly similar feel to it as the old junked television in the barn.

I guess there's a reason why ;D

[1Lamule6]

Could it be possible to have a video with the entire apparatus in it?

The image is really astonishing!

[chrisinmainz]

Its like watching a ghost or a window into the past, maybe both...

[eldorado61guy]

This is educational

[ludvan64]

If I'd had known about this I would not have recently bought a 32' LCD TV. Sucks!

[inr21sevier]

@sazrob how does halo play on it would be nice and funny

[emp3rror]

Real Fallout style TV!!! I bet they would make a hit on e-bay!

[cybervigilante]

My first TV in the fifties had a picture just that bad. Seemed like a miracle at the time, though ;')

[Films4You]

brilliant

[DescendantsOfEnoch]

I must learn this!

[theringfilm1]

Reminds me of Xbox 360

[2BunnyReturns]

LOL! That an HD Rig?

[Thetruthishere11]

homemade tv? should show the electronic parts too.

[IllegalMavamaarten]

Reminds me of fallout 3 :D

[BARONSCHWARZWALD]

where can i find one

[BARONSCHWARZWALD]

the green reminds me of the wizard of oz

[akademiker23]

this reminds me of bioshock

[Wargod12344]

@akademiker23 Me too. Or Fallout 3 (in the Tenpenny hotel they have similar TVs)

[Sheri451]

Why is this poor man green? Is this from England?

[KriptoDie]

Really good audio for 1932 It's just as good as my TV's!

[INeedToLiveLonger]

how you changed today 30 fps into 12.5 Hz by analog? or it is 25Hz and every 2nd frame it removed to you have 12.5Hz with duty ratio 50%? why there is no synchronization? what is source of signal? analog video output from vcr? 32 lines veritically or horizontally (sweep)? sometimes i see lack of horizontal sometimes veritical synchronization - amazing how?

[stevekosareff]

I have a related video on YouTube you might be interested in about how television sets were sold from the 1950s-1970s entitled, "TV MAN: THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST INDEPENDENT DEALER."

[wombat581]

The dramatic singing makes this video awesome : D

[Gilleece666]

Brilliant music, great video! Thanks for fallout I now appreciate the 40's and 50's as the beautiful years that they were.

[cricchetto89]

What's the name of the singer, please?

Tkanks!

[M1ST3RHYDE]

Is that an oscilloscope or is it just the oldest T.V. Screen iv ever seen?

[waffenshroodle]

anybody thinking 360 or ps3 on this baby? That would be epic.

[Demonchld666]

@waffenshroodle you rule and soo should try

[nepomuck1975]

zeig das doch auch von der seite

[invis648]

This is something straight out of the game Fallout :P

[johnkollor]

Pipboy Tv lol

[invis648]

Even the music style is totally Fallout Pipboy style music!

[johnkollor]

Some grate music in that game. I love the music of that whole era

[metabog]

Exactly what I thought, the camera should pan out as the music plays to show a destroyed Washington DC.

[csmaster65]

Is this homemade?

[garrysurrey]

reminds me of the fallout 3 opening video lol

dont ask me why could be the music

[wtp1981]

WOW! That was a waste of my time!

[Jonhny2]

WOW. Were TVs of the 1930s like this?

[flvnow]

only the British TV, the Germans and Americans went down the electronic scanning,as we have today. The 32 line were produced using mech scanners

[TheNuclearWatermelon]

its not his invention. right now, your lookin at a cathode ray tube. every pixle of your computer or television is made by a cathode ray tube blasting a beam of electrons at different colored phosphers.

[CalcProgrammer1]

Unless you have an LCD monitor, projector, OLED panel, plasma screen, LED array, or any other type of non-CRT display then yeah, the picture on a CRT monitor is made by a cathode ray tube (aka CRT).

[RyanPridgeon]

Unless it's LCD ;)

[boyhey1]

interesting invention huh.

i like it

[777trekker]

That is awesome, I love the effect, the flickering/rolling etc....the choice of music and video is perfect, so cool!

[flvnow]

The video was taken from a damaged recording by the BBC(i think), much like a record player.

[777trekker]

Thanks for that info,

"And now for something old..." nice channel by the way... from the "about me" sounds like you know your stuff.

[djrichard91]

do you get cancer by watching to one of theese? xD

Nostalgia FTW!

[LKRaider]

would make for a really cool pip-boy 3000 !

[phoxetis]

HA! yes indeed, totally agree :)

[Richardddoobies]

Interesting! What kind of framerate can you generate with this setup?

Baird must be spinning in his grave. He walks into Philo farnsworths lab and sees the guys working on a NON MECHANICAL scanning mechanism. Baird takes one look at the monitor and instantly shit his pants.

Almost true story.

[sazrob]

Hi

The frame rate is 12.5 Hz.

[hitachi088]

@sazrob

aren't scope 1mhz or more ?

[musicom67]

Baird was 'spinning' eh? Pun intended?

[thedarkone2134]

@Richardddoobies

I've seen your comment a dozen times but only just say what you did there!

[VIDEOHIT2007]

compliments great experiment with unique

[floydfan21]

fuckin steampunk!

[ClaireC93]

thats so cool if only crookes one was as cool it wud make chemistry so much more interesting :):):)

[t98907]

nostalgic tune

[Lizzardman666]

Talk about 1080p XD

[NickBlackDIN]

THERE'S A PERSON TRAPPED INSIDE THAT TUBE!!!!

and your forceing him to sing, how barbaric of you! LET HIM OUT!! :p

sorry...

that's reaalllly cool though :)

[kargaroc386]

i bet that's how people were like back in the 20s when this stuff came out

[mogul1265]

Thats how it makes me feel lol, its creepy.

[laslos3]

@NickBlackDIN hey atleast he had a nice voice! lol

[voon100]

Hook up a modern porn to this and see old technology showing 21st century porn.

[indianhead66]

a 32 line Baird televisor on a cathode ray tube! That's a ingenious rouse!

[tomek10861]

Wow. It is good job!

[3Deity]

Wow, its Alfred E Newman!

[BenetFleck]

"I want one of these." brother.

[mtnriveraa]

thats like the monitors on 007 Golden Eye, in the CCCP complex, yeah! hahaha

[14285714]

Quite impressive. Do you have a website describing the exact protocol ?

[frankensteinmoneymac]

OK I want one of these!!! I am dead serious, so please get back with me about how much this thing costs. I wish to also state that PRICE IS NO OBJECT!!!!!! Price is merely a theoretical construct which has no objective reality beyond the value placed on/or agreed to by two parties generally a buyer and a seller, and is therefore not an object per se. As for me...I'm broke so I'll only buy this if it doesnt cost that much! I am serious about wanting it though so please contact me about the price

[oliversul]

voce poderia ter filmado melhor, pegado por outros angulos...

[Masowai]

He could have focused it better, too!

[hebneh]

So how does this video copy that we see here on YouTube compare to what the real device looks like? I assume the resolution on the actual tube looks better (more focused), for one thing.

To us in the early 21st century, this appears odd or even a little disturbing, in a science-fiction way. But yeah, seeing this for the first time in the 1930s would've been astounding. People dreamed of watching television in their homes, and even a picture like this one would've been wonderful to them.

[TheBadBaron]

My aunt saw one of these when she was a kid, she said it wasn't very good picture, but the technology was brand new

[cd1306]

ficou muito boa amigo, parabens

[MattChez]

do you live in the 50's??

[celebration81]

Chaeck it! Write in google: Tihanyi UNESCO

[celebration81]

electronic TV system was invented by Kálmán Tihanyi. United Nations UNESCO Nobel-commitee and patent offces created the title: MEMORY OF THE WORLD. They considred Tihanyi as the inventor of electronic Television. Check it!

[CrimboSpaz]

John Logie Baird (August 13, 1888 June 14, 1946) was a Scottish engineer and inventor of the world's first working television system, also the world's first ever colour broadcast.

[parkylol]

how do people not know that ?

(ie celebration81) "it was invented by Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi in 1926."

wtf ?

[lumabi25]

This has happened with many inventions, and the person you think of as the inventor depends where you grew up. In truth, many people were simultaneously working on many electronic inventions during the 19th and 20th centuries, and if one of them happened to live in your country (or your "mother" country) then you regard them as the inventor.

I'm very much into the history of electronic technologies, but I'd not heard of Kálmán Tihanyi, but others in TV come to mind like Zworykin and Nipkow.

[celebration81]

My illiterate friend! UNESCO (United Nations) the patent offices and Nobel-comittee is not Hungarian organizations. They awarded Kálmán Tihanyi as the inventor of the electronic TV system in 1924-1926

[lumabi25]

Please tell me how what I said in my last comment makes me illiterate. There is nothing wrong with what I said. I didn't even say Kálmán Tihanyi was not the inventor. I merely said I had not heard of him, and that is largely because I don't live in Hungary, something I'm sure you would have already figured out had you read my comment properly.

However, just looking at your comments further down this page, as well as those in your profile page, I have formed my impression of you. Enough said.

[celebration81]

Red: Kalman Tihanyi in english wikipedia, or read history of television. It's full of patents pictures and evidences.

[frankensteinmoneymac]

Damn! You are one illiterate bastard!!!! How do you wake up every morning knowing the depths of your own illiteracy!!!! I bet you cant even read this reply can you!!! You've never heard of Kálmán Tihanyi?!?!?! My God, have you never heard of Theimenius Chrolurm, or Jhuevis Diorodetus either!!!! LOL!! I'm just kiddin' ya. Whoever said ya wuz illiterate wuz a 1st class weenie!

[celebration81]

J.L. Braird made an electro-mechanical TV, wich had no future. Mechanic TV was a blind alley

[CrimboSpaz]

true, but if it wasnt for j.l baird there may not have been any further progess for the concept of tv, and wats the use of tv if there wasnt any broadcasts.

[celebration81]

Farnsoworth didn't invent the electronic television. It was invented and patented by Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi in 1926. The later Farnsworth system proved to a blind alley, Factories have never produced the Farnsworth system. Tihanyi's earlier invention of the predecessor of all modern electronic system. UNESCO (United Nations) the patent offices and Nobel Comitee created the award: MEMORY OFTHE WORLD. They considered Tihanyi as the inventor

[Newkiller]

Wow.

Awesome, simply awesome!

[celebration81]

Sorry , he was not the inventor of electronic television. Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi invented the electronic tv in 1926. UNESCO MEMORY OF THE WORLD Check it!

[OLTCITKA]

Really?I never heard of this...hungarians are more pioneer than i've expected...the inventor of the carburettor was hungarian,so was the inventor and designer of the rocket nozzle,the Rubik cube,etc. But were they first in television too??? ( i am a hingarian too...:P)

[hiyaitsmejoel1]

wow thats cool as!!!! and cinda creepy

[OLTCITKA]

Yes..i agree with you,it was cool...but why do people say that it is creepy???I mean allmost everyone that sees an old CRT sais it is scary...even me...i mean i am a big electronics enthusiast and i know how CRTs work,but still,i consider it kind of creepy too...any idea why????

[hiyaitsmejoel1]

i think its because ppl who have played scary games like Bioshock or watched scary movies set in like the 60's they use old tv's...i dont really no why but for some strange reason they are just plane creepy!!!

[clnmyjts]

did you build that? I think its cool

[Keijz74]

So is this an emulation of the first experimental CRT television broadcasts? :o)#

[IMakeOrWatchVideos]

this is so fallout 3

[blueeyesm2k4]

Try Fallout. The original was much closer to this.

[mediamadman747]

And exactly how long have you had that football-sized protuberance jutting out the side of your neck?

[Primiscomputers]

Could you imagine walking into a room with that thing on?

I'd probably S*** my pants

[speedaddict2008]

holy crap! they need this thing into a horror movie! something like an old abandoned city,that has no modern technology.

[Primiscomputers]

Now why is it that a 32 line crt has a better picture than the old atari 2600?

[barbalote2]

omg, you invented something historical, let's call it... television. the world will bow to your feet!!!

[msf60khz]

To add effective sync pulses at camera you must truly blank the video to the correct DC level. The easiest method is to use a camera with a mask giving a blanking period, but ensure no capacitor before the sync insertion. Must be true DC coupling. At RX, DC restore then clip. For frame sync, AF must be flat to 12.5 Hz. Missing sync method is a partial solution. Only way to overcome 12.5 Hz requirement is to use a tone burst or use a divider to get frame freq.

[Yotunen]

so Fallout-like =)

[MrBrander]

Fallout or Bioshock. Could fit in both. :)

[PATSICK]

Fail.

[u0225263]

thank you so much for this video. it happens to come my way right as i'm focusing some creative parallels. you have helped my focus. :).

[enemyindisguise]

nice !

[nexus1g]

What's the refresh rate on it?

[sazrob]

12.5 hz

[nexus1g]

Are you intending on targeting about 20 Hz or so? I noticed the image flips horizontally and vertically; what is causing that? Very impressive so far imo.

[sazrob]

The picture filps because there is no sync pulses on the video signal being input. The frame rate is meant to run at 12.5 Hz. It is the standard used by Baird back in the 1920s and 30s. Do a googel search for John Logie Baird and you will find out lots more on early television.

[sazrob]

If you are interested in this google NBTV Narow Band TV.

[battou66488]

so what are sync pulses anyways?

[bagelboi66]

Good to see Max Headroom can still find work.

[nexus1g]

Awesome. Just awesome. Thanks for my great laugh of the day. :)

[artfungames]

makes me think of fallout3.

[corado21]

yhea definetely

[iCookie1]

Not exactly HDTV lol

[windoes98se]

prity cool

[zedrein18]

Pretty scary. Imagine walking in a dark room and that tv just clicks on by itself playing that movie!!

[GavinRoskamp]

lawl!

[SeikM]

This reminds of Bioshock with the old music and look of the video.

How about playing Bioshock on it! Any inputs?

[LSDCoatedBrain]

Haha, the thing would probably blow up.

[erjohnson227]

haha he's lucky he can put a signal into it, i doubt that it could interface with an Xbox or PC... he could make a setup but it would take an incredible amount of effort

[grindwind]

Same thought here :-D

[GGroismann]

oh! HDTV!... great job man!

[sharpazn]

Very Brillant 5/5
