Conventional Vision (Digital #2.)
"Why does every DV Cam, computer LCD displays, and software all use RGB color space but TV's use UHF color? it is such a problem to convert the colors and they never look as good."
It was the second day of of the training workshop. Questions full of acronyms like this were commonplace. That particular question and it's corresponding answer remained in my head after the 8 hour session- along with the subtle sound similar to bacon frying behind my ear drums- as i left the training session:
In 1953 the color Television signal was created. (the first nationwide color TV broadcast was the tournament of roses parade, january 1, 1954. ) The signal could have been made in RGB color mode, allowing for a wider range of colors that more closely resembles the human perception of the world. but because everyone only had black and white TV sets, a lesser signal had to be used that allowed the color spectrum to be viewed when de-saturated on black and white sets, or no one would have been able to see the broadcast on the existing black and white screens. we have sacrificed 50 years and 11 months of how we see every image in a television ( the average american watches over 3,082 hours per year. [source]) we are still dealing with the limitations of the previous convention.
I walked out of the Expo center and into the quiet and rainy night. the L.A. skyline looked down at me with an expressionless stare. I began to think about color televisions. I began to think about the standards we live by. i began to think about every limitation from a previous convention. i began to think about everything that once was new that all too soon became a hinderance. I thought about all the conventions we build that elevate us, that we become comfortable with, that we understand, and that then prevent us from moving on.
the metaphor resonated through the vacant downtown parking lots. it echoed off the peeling paint off the ritz milner hotel and through the stale cigarettes crushed out in the ashtray like tombstones in a cemetery on flower street. It rippled through the 14 lanes of tailpipes idling in the dark like like herds of sheep on the 101, the 405, the 10, the 110, as they wrapped around the city like a poorly tied turnicate. if i would have let it, the metaphor would have run down every lane of traffic in my head until i began bleeding at the seams.
the evolution of our intellect is always held back by its own residue. And we never seem to ever have enough foresight - or are able to resist emotional and financial dependency on the current convention- to come up with designs that are truly new. Like digital methadone, we build our future on what we were dependent on in the past.
HDTV will be standardized. some say within 3 years. that means the colors in 3,082 hours of our lives each year we see in every broadcast will be with RGB color space. and so in very much like a 12 step withdrawl process that will have taken over a half century, we will finally be able to start seeing things a little better.
It has taken the better part of a generation to change the way we see T.V.
Strange i thought, as the rain fell down on cars sitting still on the interstate and slid down with paint on the side of the ritz milner hotel, and dripped into black puddles in the ashtray, how long it takes to begin learn how to see more clearly.
