Baird experimented with Nipkov disk . After many accidents, he finally succeeded.
A semi-mechanical analogue television system was first demonstrated in London in February 1924 with an image of Felix the Cat and later a moving picture on 30 October 1925.

He set up the Baird Television Development Company Ltd, which in 1928 made the first transatlantic television transmission from London to New YorkNew York is a state in the northeastern United States whose U. postal abbreviation is NY . It is sometimes called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City. History See: History of New York New York was one of the thirteen col and also made the first programme for the BBC. That same year his tireless energy also demonstrated the first colour television and true stereoscopic television.
From 1929 onwards, the BBC made broadcasts using the Baird television system, alternating these with Marconi's broadcasts of electronic scanning system television signals during the 1930s, until they finally discontinued broadcasts of the Baird mechanical system in 1937.
Baird's mechanical television system was replaced by the electronic television system described by A.A. Campbell-Swinton and later developed by inventors such as Philo T. Farnsworth and Vladimir Zworykin.
Baird never stopped inventing. His 1928 invention called the Phonodisc was basically a 78rpm record that could play a 30 line video signal - a primitive video recording device, dubbed Phonovision[1].
He televised the first live transmission, of the Epsom Derby, in 1931, and the following year he was the first to demonstrate ultra-short wave transmission.
His other developments were in fibre-optics, radio direction finding, infrared night viewing and also demonstrated his big screen television system at London Coliseum, as well as Berlin, Paris and Stockholm.
In 1941 he demonstrated a 600 line HDTV colour system, and during 1944 he tried to persuade the authorities to adopt a 1000 line colour system.
There remains still the nagging doubt that his contribution to the development of radar for wartime defence projects has never been officially acknowledged.
