Baird's first television transmission

Baird's first television transmission in 1928 marked the pioneering moment of transmitting moving images electronically. He used a device called a Nipkow disk to scan images and convert them into electrical signals, which were then transmitted over a wire to a receiver. At the receiving end, a similar disk recreated the images onto a screen. This demonstration proved that moving pictures could be sent and displayed remotely, laying the groundwork for modern television technology. Baird’s work showcased the fundamental concept of electronic image transmission, which would evolve into the comprehensive broadcast systems we use today.
