  The World's First High Definition Colour Television System
This television picture had 600 lines of resolution, and used a monochromatic cathode-ray tube with a rotating transparent colour wheel in front of it.
The ideal television service should show a picture in colour and stereoscopic relief and should operate on an international standard of the order of definition represented by 1000 lines in conjunction with an International worldwide Television Broadcasting Service.
Colour and stereoscopic television were shown for the first time when I gave a demonstration at the annual meeting of the British Association in 1928.

 The trouble with television
Television, I will argue, has from its start been in a state of transformation, mutating and redefining its capacities and its relations to viewers and other media, while inhabiting a dynamic media landscape.
Television's transformations might be relegated to the "merely" historical were it not for the continued pressure they bring to bear upon the medium.
To see the relationship among television's technology, its imagined capacities, and its disparate cultural practices, one could look to parallel struggles in other nations, to patent and licensing disputes, to the patterns of the medium's deployment and domestication, even to the development of television's linguistic definition as it took shape in dictionaries.

 E-view
Particularly because early German television was so deeply enmeshed with particular notions of reception, coming to terms with some better sense of its audiences and their reactions to the medium and its programming is an essential task.
Television's identity was located in its ability to carry image, and at a moment when filmed images could generally be transmitted more easily than live images, this view offered some solace to television workers who relied on the film medium.
There is a striking difference between pre-cinematic visions of the domestically situated television audience, where the audience is usually seen in utopian terms as liberated from the nuisances and pressures of public life, and post-cinematic visions, where the domestic audience is seen in dystopian terms as alienated and fragmented.

The timebase circuits in television receivers had to be locked to synchronising pulses sent with the picture signal and generated at the studio; these are a kind of master 'clock' that sets the timing of the whole system.
The world's first regular all-electronic television service was British and used a vertical frequency of 50Hz (naturally) and a horizontal one of 10,125Hz (actually cycles per second in those days).

 Forsythe, John
The actor's distinctive voice and precise diction have also served him well, particularly in parts where the actor was never seen on screen, as in the 1970s Aaron Spelling hit Charlie's Angels, in which Forsythe voiced the role of Charlie Townsend, the eponymous employer of a trio of female detectives.
He subsequently moved to Los Angeles and took a starring role as a playboy Hollywood attorney responsible for raising his orphaned niece in the television series Bachelor Father which was broadcast from 1957 to 1962.
Forsythe was nominated for an Emmy for his first television role as a father figure, and he would be nominated again for his portrayal of the head of the Carrington clan in the hit show Dynasty in the 1980s.
