Evolution of digital photography

Evolution of digital phototechnics (phototechnical equipment) part 2

Meanwhile, in 1972 company Texas Instruments has patented the device
under the name " Completely the electronic device for record and the
subsequent reproduction of motionless images ". As a sensitive element in
it the ���-MATRIX was used, for storage of images the magnetic tape was
provided, and to be reproduced a picture should on the telescreen. In
general, the given patent practically completely described structure of
the digital chamber (the truth, it was not digital, but analog, but
same idea). And in 1975 engineer Steve Sasson (Steve J. Sasson) from
company Kodak has made the first working chamber on the ���-MATRIX (all the
same, manufactures Fairchild). The chamber weighed almost three kgs and
allowed to write down pictures in the size 100x100 �������� on the
magnetic cartridge (one staff entered the name 23 seconds). And in 1976 the
first commercial electronic chamber Fairchild MV-101 has been used for
inspection of products Procter&Gamble (you will laugh, but it there
were tampons) on a conveyor line. And to the chamber the parallel
interface for data transmission in minicomputer DEC PDP-8/E has been attached.
Basically, it already was the first, completely the digital chamber.

In 1980 Sony has presented the first commercial color (until then all
worked with the black-and-white image) a videocamera on the basis of the
���-MATRIX. After it(her), in 1981, has appeared also notorious Mavica
about which I have written in the beginning of clause(article) and
which can be taken for a reference point in a digital photo. However, as I
already spoke, it was analog, instead of the digital chamber. The
digital chamber first completely has been developed at the Canadian
university of Calgary. She(it) intended for photographing the polar lights, has
been supplied with ���-SENSOR CONTROL Fairchild and gave out the data
in a digital format. This device All-Sky camera referred to.

Well and it was then incurred(carried) - the large electronic and
photographic companies have started one by one to let out(release)
electronic videos and cameras on the market. To tell the truth, they were rare,
roads and consequently are terribly far from people. Besides all of
them were analog and had the low sanction (basically, from 300 up to 600
thousand ��������). A picture in a format of video signal were written
on magnetic carriers (as a rule, diskettes). And here in 1988 company
Fuji has let out(has released) chamber Fuji DS-1P which wrote down the
finished shooting data in a digital kind on a card of ����-memory. To
tell the truth, the picture all the same remained in an analog
videoformat.
