Televisor 3 - Mechanical Television

For the technical interested: Another short sequence showing my 32-line televisor in action. The singer is the danish actor Buster Larsen singing ’hip hurray for old Denmark’ in about 1960. Again this was filmed off screen using a Sony Digital Video Camera with ’slow shutter’, the picture frequency of the televisor being 12 1/2 Hz. The picture consists of 32 vertical lines each consisting of 64 points for picture 6 points of black (32x70). The programme is DVD run through a Pal625/Baird32 signals converter I build in 1999. You can see it in the video. The televisor is scanning from top left to buttom right - this being the opposite of the original Baird Television System developed by John Logie Baird. Updated Nipkow Scanner: Also see ’televisor 1’ Buster Larsen, født Axel Landing Larsen d. 1. september 1920, død d. 18. december 1993.
