television engineering

18
The basic factors with which the television system must deal for successful transmission and reception of pictures are: (a) Gross Structure: Geometric form and aspect ratio of the picture. (b) Image Continuity: Scanning and its sequence. (c) Number of Scanning Lines: Resolution of picture details. (d) Flicker: Interlaced scanning. (e) Fine Structure: Vertical and horizontal resolution. (f) Tonal Gradation: Picture brightness transfer characteristics of the system. The frame adopted in all television systems is rectangular with width/height ratio, i.e., aspect ratio = 4/3. There are many reasons for this choice. In human affairs most of the motion occurs in the horizontal plane and so a larger width is desirable. The eyes can view with more ease and comfort when the width of a picture is more than its height. The usage of rectangular frame in motion pictures with a width/height ratio of 4/3 is another important reason for adopting this shape and aspect ratio. This enables direct television transmission of film programmes without wastage of any film area. It is not necessary that the size of the picture produced on the receiver screen be same as that being televised but it is essential that the aspect ratio of the two be same, otherwise the scene details would look too thin or too wide. This is achieved by setting the magnitudes of the current in the deflection coils to correct values, both at the TV camera and receiving picture tube. Another important requirement is that the same coordinates should be scanned at any instant both by the camera tube beam and the picture tube beam in the receiver. Synchronizing pulses are transmitted along with the picture information to achieve exact congruence between transmitter and receiver scanning systems. While televising picture elements of the frame by means of the scanning process, it is necessary to present the picture to the eye in such a way that an illusion of continuity is created and any 2 Analysis and Synthesis of Television Pictures motion in the scene appears on the picture tube screen as a smooth and continuous change. To achieve this, advantage is taken of ‘persistence of vision’ or storage characteristics of the human eye. This arises from the fact that the sensation produced when nerves of the eye’s retina are stimulated by incident light does not cease immediately after the light is removed but persists for about 1/16th of a second. Thus if the scanning rate per second is made greater than sixteen, or the number of pictures shown per second is more than sixteen, the eye is able to integrate the changing levels of brightness in the scene. So when the picture elements are scanned rapidly enough, they appear to the eye as a complete picture unit, with none of the individual elements visible separately. In present day motion pictures twenty-four still pictures of the scene are taken per second and later projected on the screen at the same rate. Each picture or frame is projected individually as a still picture, but they are shown one after the other in rapid succession to produce the illusion of continuous motion of the scene being shown. A shutter in the projector rotates in front of the light source and allows the film to be projected on the screen when the film frame is still, but blanks out any light from the screen during the time when the next film frame is being moved into position. As a result, a rapid succession of still-film frames is seen on the screen. With all light removed during the change from one frame to the next, the eye sees a rapid sequence of still pictures that provides the illusion of continuous motion. Scanning. A similar process is carried out in the television system. The scene is scanned rapidly both in the horizontal and vertical directions simultaneously to provide sufficient number of complete pictures or frames per second to give the illusion of continuous motion. Instead of the 24 as in commercial motion picture practice, the frame repetition rate is 25 per second in most television systems. Horizontal scanning. Fig. 2.1 (a) shows the trace and retrace of several horizontal lines. The linear rise of current in the horizontal deflection coils (Fig. 2.1 (b)) deflects the beam across the screen with a continuous, uniform motion for the trace from left to right. At the peak of the rise, the sawtooth wave reverses direction and decreases rapidly to its initial value. This fast reversal produces the retrace or flyback. The start of the horizontal trace is at the left
