Talk:Field-sequential color system

Whole article is terrible
This whole article is terrible in its current state. Bad writing, bad grammar, bad coding, and bad information. Most notably, it claims,
 * "The field sequential system made by RCA company. RCA was the leading company in the television field. RCA had an technical staff edge, more development funds."

The field sequential system was not made by RCA. It was made by RCA's competitor, CBS. RCA refused to have anything to do with it, and instead helped develop the hardware for the NTSC's dot sequential color system.

Honestly, I think the whole article should be junked, and someone (not me) should start another from scratch. — Walloon 14:51, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Generally, we just work on articles and fix them. Take out the nonsense, put in sourced facts.  I did some; you can, too. Dicklyon 06:23, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Baird's image
Because we are talking about an image in the context of Baird's earliest demonstration of a field-sequential color system, and because the quotation from Nature makes it amply clear that we are talking about not just a color image, but a rich, full color image, I thought it would be OK to change "color image" in the first paragraph of the section to "vertical image", because nothing else in that section gives any indication of this unusual screen shape. — Walloon 04:22, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh. What what the usual screen shape in 1928? I think the whole description is a bit long for this article and should possibly be moved to the Baird article. I vaugelyl recall some industrial uses of field-sequential cameras but haven't had any luck letting Google find them for me; it may require a trip to the library. I've got a book called "Tube" which may have more on field-sequential...my Wikipedia to-do list expands faster than I can whack items off it. And we need a DIAGRAM or two! --Wtshymanski 04:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
