Abstract
Demonstrations are discussed to illustrate some basic principles of television transmission and reception. The aim of these demonstrations is to promote student understanding of how a picture is converted into an electrical signal, sent to a remote receiver, and correctly reproduced there. The demonstration setup includes a video camera, a light emitting diode, a light guide, a photodiode, and a video monitor. Electrical production of visual images is also discussed.
