The first idea of air transmission of color images belonged to the Russian engineer Ovanes Adamyan (he was Ivan Adamian), who formulated it in 1907-1908. In 1925, he had already developed a three-color television system technically implemented by English inventor J. Baird in 1928.

A year later, the American Telephone and Telegraph of the Company demonstrated its color television system, and at the same time Soviet engineer Yu.Volkov proposed to use a special electron beam tube with three screens for color TV receivers.

From 1938, electronic color television began to be developed at the American radio broadcasting company CBS (Columbia Broadcasting System).

On August 27, 1940, in New York, it demonstrated the first color electronic system suitable for practical application, authored by Hungarian immigrant Peter Carl Goldmark.

Work to improve this invention continued until 1950, and in 1951 CBS opened color television broadcasting in New York, Boston, and other cities in the United States. A similar system was developed in the USSR in 1948-1953 (in 1954-1956 it was broadcast in Moscow). However, as standard, these systems were not used for long.

Since 1953, color television broadcasting has been started in the United States under the NTSC system, which has become standard in Canada and elsewhere in the Western Hemisphere, as well as Japan. In 1966, the Soviet-French SECAM color television system was established, commissioned from October 1967. In 1962-1966, the PAL color television system was developed in Germany, introduced a year later also in Great Britain, the Netherlands and other countries of Western Europe, as well as in Australia.
