CBS did, in fact, offer a prototype system that could do color in the s. It used a spinning wheel divided with red, green, and blue filter segments, and the rotation of the wheel was synchronized with a similar wheel at the TV camera. In this way, a single monochrome camera and corresponding cathode ray tube CRT could display a moving color image. This approach which was even used in some early space shots, due to better resolution and lower power needs than the conventional color imager had several mass-market shortcomings, although it was demonstrated ahead of the RCA version:.
Still, Sarnoff and RCA would have nothing to do with the CBS approach and derided it for what it was: a stop-gap attempt to make color TV possible, but a dead-end solution. Instead, it would require developing, perfecting, and building in volume the needed technologies imagers, CRTs, and more , the broadcast chain, and saleable end products.
For any new components, they also developed new manufacturing techniques and built factories to manufacture them. It also needed a color-TV ecosystem. But why buy a color TV set if no stations are broadcasting in color? Flyback power converters, Part 1: Basic principles. Flyback power converters, Part 2: Enhancements and ICs. Working with higher voltages, Part 1: Voltage boosters. Young consented to this proposal, which, effective November 20, , transformed American Marconi into the Radio Corporation of America.
