Tele-Vision (or television) is first mentioned in Season 1 of Murdoch Mysteries.
Appearances and Mentions
Power
- William Murdoch and Nikola Tesla discuss the possibilities of an invention that can transmit images via electrical waves in the future.
Murdoch and the Undetectable Man
- Discussing their Tele-Vision idea over dinner at the Murdoch's home, William suggests that "...this Einsteen fellow has described its underlying theory" and Tesla declares, "We should build it!"
- Murdoch and Tesla invent the Tele-Vision, with some help from the informative article by Albert Einstein, which helps solve the mysterious murders terrorizing Toronto.
- Modulating the electrical waves transmitted and received at the same resonant frequency as Tesla did with voice over airwaves, Tele-Vision transmits moving images in real time – a precursor to modern day security cameras, rather than for entertainment.
- Murdoch points out, "The weak-minded would waste half of their lives observing it."
