3. TV media
In its early stages of development,
television employed a combination of
optical, mechanical, and electronic
technologies to capture, transmit, and
display moving images. Modern broadcast
TV systems do not involve mechanical
image scanning methods, although the
knowledge gained from working on
electromechanical systems was crucial in
the development of fully electronic
television.
The concept of using scanning to transmit
images was put to actual practical use in
1881 in the pantelegraph through the use
of a pendulum-based scanning
mechanism. From this period forward,
scanning in one form or another has been
used in nearly every image transmission
technology to date, including TV. This is
the concept of "pasteurization", the process
of converting a visual image into a stream
of electrical pulses.
