Talk:Peter Carl Goldmark

Untitled
Statements about "little support from CBS" and "claims to have invented" are highly questionable.

He is hungarian, as is stated on the page, so why is there a link to "German inventors and discoverers"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soul9 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 3 June 2011 (UTC) Actually he is Jewish, do your research — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.144.130.166 (talk) 09:24, 11 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I am a wanna Wikipedia contributor. Not holding my breath 🙄
 * I lived in Stamford CT from 1967 to 1971.
 * Peter C Goldmark and family were close neighbors.
 * Mr. Goldmark's daughter, Susan (not mentioned in this article), was my best friend for three years.
 * Susan was a bit agoraphobic so we played at her house every day after school and on the weekends.
 * I was close with the family (please put Susan in the article. I don't remember her exact date of birth but I am confident it was around 1963. Same as me).
 * Mr. Goldmark was a bit of a celebrity in our town of Stamford. My father, also an engineer, was in awe of him.
 * They were quite the interesting bunch.
 * Thanks for reading and your time if you made it this far.

González Camarena applied for this patent August 14, 1941 and obtained the patent September 15, 1942. He also filed for additional patents for color television systems in 1960 and 1962.

 * Goldmark's inventions were connected to space programs (Apollo, etc).
 * The camerahe invented was foruse in space. No one ever claimed he invented the camera ~ just for this purpose.
 * Same for color tv. Me. Goldmark didn't invent it or even claim to.
 * Mr. Goldmark's contribution to color tv was to create a version to be used in space. DaisyMae19 (talk) 12:35, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

Early life
Peter Carl Goldmark was born into a Hungarian-Jewish family. He got his first exposure to television in 1926 while in graduate school in Vienna. He later hoped to work with John Logie Baird but was turned down for a job after meeting Baird for lunch in London. In 1936, Goldmark joined CBS Laboratories, and one year later he became a naturalized citizen of the United States.

After divorcing Frances Trainer, Goldmark married Diane Davis and had two more children: Jonathan and Susan.

Career
Goldmark also continued his work in developing new LP-related technologies, such as the Highway Hi-Fi, a system designed to play 7-inch LP records in automobiles.

As with color television, Goldmark's EVR film-based system was superseded by another technology, in this case Sony's U-Matic 3/4" videocassette format in late 1971, since the cassette tape format was cheaper and more effective. However, Goldmark's vinyl long-playing records remained the standard in the music industry until the CD replaced the LP in the late 1980s.

Later life
Approaching the mandatory company retirement age of 65, Goldmark left CBS Laboratories in 1971 and formed Goldmark Communications, where he pursued research on the use of communication technologies to provide services like teleconferencing and remote medical consultations to people in rural areas. Funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation in the early 1970s, the "New Rural Society Project" was housed at Fairfield University in Fairfield, Conn., and conducted pilot studies across the state in Eastern Connecticut's relatively rural Windham region. In 1969 he was awarded the David Sarnoff Medal by the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers. In 1972, he was recognized for his leadership in the field of technology innovation by the Industrial Research Institute when presented with the illustrious IRI Medal.
