As it was 100 years since John Logie bird's first demonstration of live TV via wireless
so Dave Gentle thought he would like to recreate this in his demonstration.  The demo consisted
of a 32 line camera monitor taking a picture of a moving object lit by noctavision (infra-red)
output to a wireless TX  then to a wireless RX driving a 32 line mirror drum projector.
