# Baird Decoder - A small tool to convert audio to images.

# INTRODUCTION
For those who don't know, the mechanical television was first invented by John Logie Baird in the 1920s. How it worked was that it used a spinning Nipkow disk (a disk with a series of holes spiraling down towards the center) to mimick the raster of an electronic TV, and a flickering light. When the two are put together, you get an image. This program aims to take audio samples from mechanical TV signals, and convert them back into visible images. This program can also decode image audio signals created by the **Baird Encoder** program.
