He was born in the family of Rev John and Jessie Baird, in Helensburgh, west bank of Scotland. Baird started In 1920 to discover ways of transmitting motion images alongside sounds. Although Baird was unable to secure sponsorship from commercial institutions or people, he operated with any resources he managed to solicit. Bicycle light, Cardboard, string, wax, and glue formed essential elements of his original “televisor.”
In 1925, Baird’s initial open exhibit of TV took place in Selfridge’s workshop, London. The advancement materialized in October 1925 after Baird accomplished TV images with half-tone light and shade, showing them more clearly. Using short wave radio, Baird was able to transmit pictures to New York from London in 1928. Furthermore, he illustrated a colored Tv and built-up audiovisual recording framework known as ‘phonovision.’ In 1929, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) conveyed exploratory TV broadcasts.
