The Struggle for Unity: Colour television, the formative years
traces the evolution of colour television from 1928, when
rudimentary colour television was demonstrated for the first time,
to c.1966, when the NTSC system and its variants, the PAL and SECAM
systems, became widely available for the entertainment, education
and enlightenment of society. Among the many topics discussed in
the book, mention is made of the following: compatibility and
non-compatibility; mechanical and all-electronic systems; field,
line and dot sequential scanning; bandwidth constraints and
band-sharing techniques; the CBS-RCA conflict; the relative merits
of the different systems; the attempt to achieve unity of purpose
in Europe; standards; and the development of colour cameras and
display tubes. The book, which is based predominantly on written
primary source material, does not simply provide a chronicle of
dates and descriptions of events, devices and systems. Rather, it
discusses the essential factors of colour television history from a
general, technical and political viewpoint. Great care has been
taken to ensure that an unbiased, accurate and balanced history has
been written. Numerous references are given at the end of each
chapter and the book is profusely illustrated.
