FIRST EVER VIDEO RECORDING…September 20, 1927? YES!

Until yesterday, I had never heard of this and found it hard to believe, but here is the amazing proof laid out, fittingly…in 3 video reports.

In the 1996 report (top video), a single disc of the John Logie Baird video record or Phonovision had just been discovered. As you’ll see, no one had ever seen it, because even Baird had not created a way to play it back, so another Scotsman had to build a way to see it, which is covered there too.

The images were from 1933 and showed The Paramount Astoria dancing girls, shot with a horizontal 30 scan line mechanical system. In the 1998 story (bottom video), 11 more Baird discs have been found, with the earliest dated September 20, 1927. This report includes bits from those newly discovered discs, and at the end there is interesting archival film of Alexandra Palace being made ready for the tests of the competing Baird mechanical system, and Marconi-EMI’s new electronic system.

For more, here is the site of the man that built the playback machine with a great deal more on Phonovision. http://www.tvdawn.com/earliest-tv/phonovision-experiments-1927-28/
