PRINCIPLE OF TELEVISION

Television broadcasting is similar to radio broadcasting except that it is considerably more complex than the radio-sound broadcasting system. The cause of it is that much more signal space — that is bandwidth — is necessary to carry the complex video signal together with the audio signal.

In a typical television system two separate transmitters are employed — one for the sound channel and the other for the picture channel. The sound transmitter is frequency modulated. It simultaneously transmits the sound аnd the image. The image is accompanied by the sound in the process of broadcasting and each of the transmitters is supplied with its own aerial.

The image being televised is received by the television camera, which converts the optical image into electrical impulses. The camera includes an optical leas system similar to that used in a photographic camera, the image from is projected into a camera tube. The camera tube includes a photosensitive mosaic which is scanned by an electron beam. The beam, in its turn, is housed in an evacuated glass tube. Usually the output signals of the camera tube are preamplified within the camera itself by the video or picture amplifier. After proper amplification, the video signal modulates the high-frequency carrier of the television transmitter and is radiated into space by the aerial. As for the picture carrier, it is amplitude-modulated.

(Краткие теоретические сведения и пример выполнения)

Word Formation (Словообразование)

Английские предлоги могут быть односоставными (например, pre; over; by; before; into; of) и сложными (фактически фразы, с двумя и больше словами - along with; in spite of; together with и другие).

На английском языке предлог pre- имеет значение до-, пред-. В слове «preposition» (pre + position= помещать вперед) этот предлог находится перед другим словом. Это может быть существительное, местоимение, именная группа и герундий.

 

Примеры (Examples): to pre-control — исследовать заранее

to preheat — предварительно нагревать
