How a TV Works in Slow Motion - The Slow Mo Guys

[@Jogwheel]

I think many people probably already knew most of what you explained in this video (scanlines, RBG pixels, etc.); but to actually SEE it demonstrated so precisely with super-high-speed and macro-lenses was truly fantastic. So much different than a normal #SlowMoGuys episode, but this one might honestly be my favorite. GREAT work, Gavin!

I am electronical engineer of crt TV's for 20 years,and this is my first time in my life who i saw how it works an old crt television! Thank you very very much Gav!

[@bltn7469]

Well i was at peace , but now im thinking about when we will get to see the camera that could film it ....

[@mickenoss]

I don't think people realise the level of technology that went in to crt's, compressing 6 signals into one waveform was an achievement in itself (colour tv). Was nice to see what we knew in real time though..

[@bltn7469]

Redpower understands the level of technology that went into crt's lol

[@krozareq]

I read up on the development of both NTSC and PAL in the 90s. They were a huge achievement. NTSC allowed older black-and-white TVs to still view the new color broadcasts since B&W TVs would ignore the chrominance line and only read the luminance line while only losing .03 fps in framerate on both color and B&W TVs. PAL, used primarily in Europe, Africa and most of Asia, had slightly higher resolution and was configured in such a way that signal degradation caused loss in saturation (intensity of color) rather than the hue (shade of color). This led to a better-looking picture in many places.

[@eideticex]

I'm surprised you never seen the effect on a CRT before. Growing up working on CRT TVs, my dad taught me how to manipulate the control circuits enough to slow the scan-out down to strips roughly an inch long. We did so by simplifying the circuit so that it would strobe the cathode ray repeatedly over the same segment but at such a slow intensity that persistence of vision doesn't work thus allowing you to see the scan out. It was thanks to those early experiments in my life that I developed a very deep and almost intuitive understanding of how displays create color, motion and the various other higher level illusions. All I really needed to supplement that knowledge was a relatively light study of how the human eye perceives color, intensity and motion. I doubt I would have taken to pixel/fragment shader development as well as I did without that knowledge, a lot of the ways I pulled off fancy effects in the mid-2000s relied on these illusions.

[@stanleydenning]

My father was a TV repairman and electoral engineer. When I was thirteen, he explained to me how a CRT tube worked. I understood it but could not picture it in my head. Thanks to this channel, I saw it for the first time. BTW. I am Sixty-One years old now. Our brains run so s l o w...

[@starwarized]

I feel like CRTs were magic for the time, I seriously wonder how they managed to get this level of accuracy and speed with the technology available at the time, it blows my mind

[@commandrogyne]

I totally agree, honestly its really funny that humanity invented 'gun that shoots electrons that are then aimed by magnets at a screen' before 'several tiny lightbulbs that dim and brighten' like one of these seems infinitely more complicated than the other one, how did the electron gun come first??

[@micro2cool]

​@@commandrogyne LCDs are liquid crystals that rotate polarised light, controlled electronically with backlit regions. This is much more complex than a CRT. Only now with OLED, are we using the 'several tiny lightbulbs approach. The production of something with so many parts is much harder than shooting electrons at glass.

[@AverageAlien]

Wdym with the technology available at the time? Do you think they were some kind of primitives using rocks and sticks to build TVs? Do you think the tech we have today just spawned in? Lmfao

You should buy one of those LG OLEDs. I lusted after one for a couple years, and snagged it on a big sale. They're even cheaper now.

Deeney Im a small youtuber and I don't care about the money but getting videos monetized is like this feeling where you can finally make money off of what you love even if it's a dollar it just motivates and inspires me that what if one day I can make a living out of what I'm passionate about and I get to sing and write songs all my life instead of being a doctor or an engineer just like my parents are pressuring me to. I hit 10,000 views 3 months ago and youtube said my channel was still under review and they'll tell me in a week and it stayed that way for 3 months and now youtube says i need 4,000 hours FOUR THOUSAND HOURS i make 4-5 min videos How many videos should that be. This is so frustrating when i found out i felt like crying because it puts into perspective how small i am and how not good enough I may be and it's so sad. It slightly demotivates me and makes me think twice about my life-long held dreams. I don't know why youtube is becoming this sad place Oh by the way it's my birthday and I'm upset lol

[@Leon12V]

The most incredible thing here is how cameras are capable to capture and slow down images.

[@squidwardo7074]

When you think about it its actually not much more complicated than a regular camera, you just need to capture video at 100s or 1000s of frames per second rather than 60 or 30, then just play it back at 60 or 30 fps. You could do the same with a regular camera, but you'd lose a lot of detail in between each frame and it gets quite choppy below 20fps.

[@jackson7099]

Woow. This was very interesting and educational. I learnt so much. Thanks

[@hawthorneokenla6827]

David Morales what the f*** are you talking about?

[@good-content]

Hawthorne Okenla maybe you should learnt english

[@angelschoenmakers8791]

+David Morales what did he spell wrong then

[@hawthorneokenla6827]

cyber prank I should learnt English? Interesting. You should probably learn yourself before trying to correct. What a dumb f*** you are mate

[@hawthorneokenla6827]

Angel Schoenmakers Please ask those idiots. They're so f***ing STUPID

The one thing that amazes me the most about CRTs. Is that there is a Bi-Polar Junction Transistor switching thousands of Volts which moves that beam around to scan the image tens of thousands of times per second. It also amazes me we commonly used an electronic device which can bend light with electromagnets with extreme precision and none really cares.

[@DingXiaoke]

RogueRAZR Totally agree! It’s not really old and crap, it’s actually quite amazing how they can do it.

[@GrugTheJust]

Those suckers were full of lead to protect from x-ray emissions, too.

[@rbrtck]

+RogueRAZR Well, technically it is an electron beam that is being bent, rather than light, but yes, people back then had just as much ingenuity as people today. We've just learned how to do more things over time--we're not any more clever than before.

[@zacht9447]

I have done this in a lab honestly its basic electromagnetism all youre doing is bending an em wave

[@RogueRAZR]

rbrtck True. The electrons react with phosphor to create the actual light you see.

[@BasicHaddock4]

Very informative, all those pixels in a game is insane to me 🔥🔥🔥

[@toanuva6178]

LOOOOVE the CRT footage. The look of it gives me Tron vibes

[@MagnusSkiptonLLC]

Remember in the old days when TVs smelled like electrons and were static-y when you touched the screen? Those were the days...

[@doomyboi]

You actually made me nostalgic for screen static, why

[@Alpaax]

Omg same

[@beesquestionmark]

Lmao I’m 18 and that was like my childhood. And then when you had the tv on you could hear that really high pitched hum. I heard it in this video and it still hurts my ears lol

[@greyarea805]

I used to hear that sound constantly when my school had crts but thankfully we have laptops now to watch am news

[@ajaegabor1961]

you are old

[@311kratos]

I learned from this video more than the entire CNET channel.

[@hiimgamerspruzzino5804]

it is strange to think that the pixels in my pc are recreating some others pixels of a tv

Connect a screen to your camera live feed and let magic happen.

It happens with me, too.

[@pseudonymous6921]

i love how at 1:14 gavin said the word eye, and the two most beautiful eyes appear from the back of the tv. purr-fectly timed.

[@Johny40Se7en]

Super cool video. There's such a wonderful magic to seeing how that all works. Especially 3:03 when it looks as if a retro computer or TV is drawing an image with each digital stroke across the screen 😊🥰

[@quadpad_music]

It's actually analog, not digital.

Which is why LG was very happy to give him access to one

[@johntheux9238]

a 77 inches OLED tv cost 14 000 $ but my 82 inches HDR TV cost 3200$ Which one do you prefer?

[@EmanuelCaesar]

Yeah me too

[@Cheryl407]

A few years late, but wow, thank you for this.

[@Vugen18]

Ur understanding of this is fascinating !

[@Redbullgivesuwings]

I learned more from this video then an entire day of school

[@richardlont4480]

Cookie.MONSTER.EAT.Cookie Cookie.MONSTER Welcome to reality.

[@Ludovit110]

... and then one day you realize that ~80% of information taught (at least in elementary / high school) is - if not forgotten just mere months after "learning" - redundant, outdated or incomplete for when you need it, or outright wrong. And that the 20% which is useful could have been learned much quicker and in much more enjoyable way. School is, I'd argue, mostly just an initiation ritual to servitude.

[@avj_10]

I have always wondered why screens flickered when being filmed. Thanks for this whole video!

[@jemmunen6052]

6:51 I could smell the pixels and the screen. Just like in old TVs we had when I was a kid

[@vaitoshi5301]

That smell of warm lcd and the little bit of heat hitting your face

[@torben6131]

I feel my hair getting sucked up to the screen

[@_z_donateddollarsthroughsuperc]

And that startup sound so loud and nostalgic!
