Programme description:
The previous video in this "How television works" series ( • How monochrome analogu... ) explained how monochrome analogue television was broadcast and received.
This video is a simplified explanation of how analogue colour television (TV) systems worked.
The video begins by explaining how the human eye perceives colour and how the colours of the spectrum can be simulated by mixing the three primary colours; red, green and blue.
The video then explains how a colour TV camera captures a moving colour image and converts it into an electrical signal that can be broadcast by radio waves.
This video then explains how an analogue colour TV receiver receives the signal and converts it back to an image that can be viewed using a colour Cathode Ray Tube.
Future videos in the series will explain how colour-television-encoding and digital television work.

I had the opportunity to visit the Cambridge Museum of Technology earlier this year. An amazing amount of innovative tech came out of the UK in the 30s and 40s--radar, television, electronic computers. Sadly they did a poor job of monetizing these developments--leaving that to the Americans, Japanese, and Germans.

The eye is way more complicated than how TV works and folks want to claim there's no creator.

Analog, color.

Except in proper British English it’s analogue and colour. Thank you!

​​@@stickytapenrust6869the problem is that 9 months ago when I learnt about the existence of bri'ish languag I absolutely hated these Us for their sheer existence. Now I don't pay any attention to it.
