Re: Fifty Years of Colour Television in the UK
I also used to know it as Monopulse too. Perhaps when you have time you could look at a manual and confirm what the proper official name is!?
Where I started off in telly I was wandering around the bays one day and came across the SPG bays. Next to that bay was another one with all the monosync encoders for all the individual bits of kit around the central area. Next to that was another bay with all the monosync decoders for all the same bits of individual kit with up to the 7 cables then going off to those bits of kit around the central area!
I couldn’t make head nor tale of this at all and asked one of the senior engineers why on earth it was installed in this way as it made absolutely no sense at all. He was an ex-Marconi engineer and indeed was a member of the original team that installed the entire tv centre. He said colour telly was all new when they were planning the install and they didn’t really understand some of it. Oh well.
