peer agreement (net): +2TV code test pattern Explanation: or the traditional or nostalgic among you, Modern Television offers the familiar RCA "Indian Head" test pattern, which was probably created in 1939... it was on April 30 of that year that Radio Corporation of America chairman David Sarnoff "introduced" electronic television at the New York World's Fair. Of course, it would be several months more before RCA - the Microsoft of its time - finally agreed, after years of arrogant dispute, and for the first time ever in its history, to pay the necessary patent royalties to Philo T. Farnsworth, the true inventor of the basic electronic television system we all use to this day. No, this producer will not pass up any opportunity in this site to counter RCA's historical propaganda to the contrary... but do give me credit at least for resisting the temptation of replacing the Indian Head with Farnsworth's. Speaking of heads, this image is provided in two flavors... there's a "de-Indianized" version to accommodate any politically-correct traditionalists (if that isn't a contradiction in terms)... with Indian (75 Kb .jpg) no Indian (73 Kb .jpg) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-08-10 17:12:44 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.meldrum.co.uk/mhp/testcard/around_world.html Reference: http://www.moderntv.com/modtvweb/special/freegif-bw1.htm |
