1. TIMELINE OF THE HISTORY OF VIDEO PRODUCTION By: Addison Morgan

2. 1860  Tearliest known recording was created by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville, the inventor of the phonautograph. The recordings were not intended for listening; the idea of audio playback had not been conceived. Rather, Scott sought to create a paper record of human speech that could later be deciphered. But the phonautograph recording, or phonautogram, was made playable by scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The 10-second recording of a singer crooning the folk song “Au Clair de la Lune” was discovered in March 2008 in an archive in Paris by a group of American audio historians.  he http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of-audiovideo- technology.htmlhttp://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of-audiovideo- technology.html

3. 1874  Ernst W. Siemens was the first to describe the "dynamic" or moving- coil transducer, with a circular coil of wire in a magnetic field and supported so that it could move axially. He filed his U. S. patent application for a "magneto-electric apparatus" for "obtaining the mechanical movement of an electrical coil from electrical currents transmitted through it".  http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of- audiovideo-technology.html http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of- audiovideo-technology.html

4. 1876-1877  Alexander G. Bell patented the telephone - the first electrical device for audible transmission.  http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of- audiovideo-technology.html http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of- audiovideo-technology.html

5. 1876  The first patented in the United States that showed animated pictures or movies was a device called “wheel of life” or “zoopraxiscope”. Patnented in 1876 by William Licoln, moving photographs or drawings were watched through a slit in the zoopraxiscope. However, this was a far cry from motion pictures as we know them today. Modern motion picture making began with the invention of the motion picture camera.  http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blmotionpictures.htm http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blmotionpictures.htm

6. 1876-1878  Thomas Edison invents the phonograph, which uses an engraved wax cylinder that rotates against a stylus.  Ernest W. Siemens granted patent for a nonmagnetic parchment diaphragm as the sound radiator of a moving-coil transducer. The diaphragm could take the form of a cone, with an exponentially flaring "morning glory" trumpet form. This is the first patent for the loudspeaker horn that would be used on most phonographs players in the acoustic era.  The first music is put on record: cornetist Jules Levy plays "Yankee Doodle.“  http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of-audiovideo- technology.html http://amplioaudio.blogspot.com/2007/05/short-history-of-audiovideo- technology.html
