View ChannelAbout
I'm Nostalgia Nerd... I have an addiction to Nostalgia & things often categorised as "nerdy". I talk about software, hardware, games, toys, programs, magazines and other things from the 70s, 80s and 90s, sometimes with a liberal amount of dry humour. The channel's main focus is computer related items from the 80s & 90s. Feel free to visit my website, other social accounts listed below.

We started out with a set number of horiztonal lines with early television, before jumping to digital and onto HD, but why oh why is HD 1080p? Why is that the resolution we settled for on both TV and computer? โTimingsโ 00:00-00:24 Introduction 00:24-00:48 Nerd Stuff 00:48-04:45 Early TV resolutions 04:45-08:25 Early Computer resolutions 08:25-16:58 HDTV 16:58-18:22 HDTV meets Computer 18:22-20:32 The 1080p Proposal 20:32-20:58 Credits ๐Video Links๐ Sony CRT: youtube.com/watch?v=SCVa-Vu1C5g CCIR Recommendations 1982: https://search.itu.int/history/HistoryDigitalCollectionDocLibrary/4.281.43.en.1013.pdf XVIth CCIR Plenary Assembly: https://search.itu.int/history/HistoryDigitalCollectionDocLibrary/4.282.57.en.100.pdf Study Group 11 Conclusions: https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/hdb/R-HDB-11-1989-PDF-E.pdf BT.709-6 HDTV Standards: https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/bt/R-REC-BT.709-6-201506-I!!PDF-E.pdf SMPTE Standard: http://car.france3.mars.free.fr/HD/INA-%2026%20jan%2006/SMPTE%20normes%20et%20confs/s240m.pdf CCIR Recommendations 1992: https://www.itu.int/dms_pubrec/itu-r/rec/bt/R-REC-BT.601-3-199209-S!!PDF-E.pdf HDTV Development Europe: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreview/trev_311-wood_hdtv.pdf Rec 601 Peter Rainger Interview: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreview/trev_304-rec601_rainger.pdf Rec 601 Chris Clarke BBC: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreview/trev_304-rec601_bbc.pdf EU "Route map to HD": https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/tech/tech3298.pdf HDTV Overview: https://www.itu.int/net/ITU-R/information/docs/flyers/hdtv-25th-anniversary-en.pdf CCIR 1978 Recommendations: https://search.itu.int/history/HistoryDigitalCollectionDocLibrary/4.280.43.en.1011.pdf Origins of 4:2:2 DTV Standard: https://tech.ebu.ch/docs/techreview/trev_304-rec601_wood.pdf "Present State of HD TV": https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/rep/R-REP-BT.801-4-1990-PDF-E.pdf HDTV Harmonization: https://www.itu.int/dms_pub/itu-r/opb/rep/R-REP-BT.2003-1994-PDF-E.pdf King's Quest: https://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2015/10/advantages-of-160x200-16-color.html Jill of the Jungle: https://nerdlypleasures.blogspot.com/2013/10/320x200-resolution-of-choice-for-ibm-pc.html ๐ Support ๐ Support my channel, get exclusive videos & perks, as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd from just $1 ๐ช NN Shop & Affiliate Links! ๐ช My eBay Shop: https://nnerd.es/NerdShop (Now Re-open!)
