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

[@redpowera]

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.

[@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!

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. Get ready for fun conversations like watching a movie with your girlfriend on an Imax screen (the lameo Imax they have in major theater chains), and having her (not a techie) lean over to say "this would look better at home."

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

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.

​@@commandrogyne LCDs are liquid crystals that rotate polarised light, controlled electronically with backlit regions. This is much more complex than a CRT.

[@DlcEnergy]

actually, flat screen tv's have existed since 1964. they were more expensive at the time, so didn't become mainstream until the early 2000's when they were affordable. even other technologies were around before the most of us knew about them. like VR for example. they began working on that in the 80s. just because they're back in time, doesn't mean they're not going to be as creative minded, and ponder of such technologies. even before 3d games, they already had 3d graphics with algorithms to apply smoothing to the human facial expressions they were animating. the real genius's in the world, have more stuff going on than what the majority of the outside world knows about.

[@109Rage]

Something to note: the CRT screens don't have "pixels" in the same way the modern TV does. The colors are just a filter for the electron beam to hit. See how the grid isn't aligned the same way pixels are. Old B&W tvs didn't have a grid at all, and just had a screen that lit up when the electron beam hit it.

[@williamreid6255]

Exactly. Gavin just found that word easier to contextualize, so he used it anyway

[@109Rage]

@@williamreid6255 I'm sure Gavin knows this (at least by now). Just thought it was something other viewers should know.

colour masking eh? This also was neat to see and explains why horizontal scan rate is in the kilohertz range. Colour seems like a no brainer though, just vary how bright each of the RGB masks are and they combine to make colour :)
