  2. Degaussing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degaussing

    Color CRT displays, the technology underlying many television and computer monitors before the early 2010s, require degaussing. Many CRT displays use a shadow mask (a perforated metal screen) near the front of the tube to ensure that each electron beam hits the corresponding phosphors of the correct color. If this plate becomes magnetized (e.g ...

  3. Cathode-ray tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cathode-ray_tube

    Color CRT displays in TV sets and computer monitors often have a built-in degaussing (demagnetizing) coil mounted around the perimeter of the CRT face. Upon power-up of the CRT display, the degaussing circuit produces a brief, alternating current through the coil which fades to zero over a few seconds, producing a decaying alternating magnetic ...

  4. Deflection yoke - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_yoke

    Cathode ray tube, showing the yoke (copper coils and white plastic former) around the rear neck of the tube. A deflection yoke is a kind of magnetic lens, used in cathode ray tubes to scan the electron beam both vertically and horizontally over the whole screen. In a CRT television, the electron beam is moved in a raster scan on the screen. By ...

  5. Color television - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_television

    The invention of color television standards was an important part of the history and technology of television. Transmission of color images using mechanical scanners had been conceived as early as the 1880s. A demonstration of mechanically scanned color television was given by John Logie Baird in 1928, but its limitations were apparent even ...

  6. Introduction of color television in countries by decade. This is a list of when the first color television broadcasts were transmitted to the general public. Non-public field tests, closed-circuit demonstrations and broadcasts available from other countries are not included, while including dates when the last black-and-white stations in the country switched to color or shutdown all black-and ...

  7. Shadow mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_mask

    The remaining color information was separately encoded into the signal as a high-frequency modulation to produce a composite video signal. On a black and white television this extra information would be seen as a slight randomization of the image intensity, but the limited resolution of existing sets made this invisible in practice.

  8. RMS Queen Mary - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Queen_Mary

    In the conversion, the ship's hull, superstructure, and funnels were painted navy grey. As a result of her new colour, and in combination with her great speed, she became known as the "Grey Ghost". To protect against magnetic mines, a degaussing coil was fitted around the outside of the hull. Inside, stateroom furniture and decoration were ...

  9. Colorburst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorburst

    Colorburst is an analog and composite video signal generated by a video-signal generator used to keep the chrominance subcarrier synchronized in a color television signal. By synchronizing an oscillator with the colorburst at the back porch (beginning) of each scan line , a television receiver is able to restore the suppressed carrier of the ...
