Geek Out - How television led to streaming video on your mobile phone
summary
Explains how TV moves from mechanical 30‑line experiments to modern phones by naming formats, tools and bottlenecks: 405/525/625 line standards, NTSC 29.97 vs PAL 25 and 60/50Hz interlacing; how CCDs use a Bayer filter versus 3‑tube prism cameras; CRT shadow‑mask vs Trinitron stripe tradeoffs; LCD polarization and OLED burn‑in; MPEG GOPs with I/P/B GOP demo showing video collapse when I‑frames drop; how satellite boxes use an LNB polarization tuning and multiplex metadata so channel changes take ~1s; origin of MP3 from MPEG‑1.
