Televisioonisüsteeme are the technologies and infrastructure used for transmitting and receiving moving images and sound over a distance. The fundamental principle of television is to convert optical and acoustic signals into electrical signals, which are then transmitted, and subsequently reconverted back into visual and auditory displays. Early television systems relied on analog technology, where signals were continuously varied. These analog signals were susceptible to interference and had limitations in resolution and color fidelity.

The transition to digital television marked a significant advancement. Digital systems encode information as discrete binary data, making them more robust against noise and enabling higher quality images and sound. Digital broadcasting also allows for more efficient use of spectrum, facilitating the transmission of multiple channels in the same bandwidth that previously carried only one analog channel.

A television system typically comprises several key components. On the transmission side, this includes cameras, microphones, editing equipment, and transmitters. The transmission itself can occur via terrestrial broadcast towers, satellite, or cable networks. On the receiving end, viewers use antennas or set-top boxes to capture the broadcast signals, which are then processed by a television set to display the program. Modern television systems often incorporate internet connectivity, leading to the rise of smart TVs and streaming services, which offer on-demand content and interactive features. The evolution of television systems continues with ongoing developments in resolution (e.g., 4K, 8K), high dynamic range (HDR) for enhanced contrast and color, and immersive audio technologies.
