[EAN: 9780786432431], Neubuch, [PU: McFarland & Co Inc, United States], Language: English. Brand new Book. Albert Abramson published (with McFarland) in 1987 a landmark volume titled "The History of Television, 1880-1941" ("massive.research" - "Library Journal"; "voluminous documentation" - "Choice"; "many striking old photos" - "The TV Collector"). At last, he has produced the follow-up volume; the reader may be assured there is no other book in any language that is remotely comparable to it. Together, these two volumes provide the definitive technical history of the medium. Upon the development in the mid - 1940s of new cameras and picture tubes that made commercial television possible worldwide, the medium rose rapidly to prominence. Perhaps even more important was the invention of the video tape recorder in 1956, allowing editing, re-shooting and rebroadcasting. This second volume, 1942 to 2000 covers these significant developments and much more. Chapters are devoted to television and World War II and the postwar era, the development of color television, Ampex Corporation's contributions, television in Europe, the change from helical to high band technology, solid state cameras, the television coverage of Apollo II, the rise of electronic journalism, television entering the studios, the introduction of the camcorder, the demise of RCA at the hands of GE, the domination of Sony and Matsushita, and the future of television in e-cinema and the 1080 P24 format. The book is heavily illustrated (as is the first volume)., Books<
