Opis

This work is based on a series of articles under the same name, which have been running in Audio Media magazine for a number of years. Originally intended to be an introduction to all aspects of video and film technology and techniques aimed specifically at audio people, the series has become a guide for anyone, both in audio and video circles, who wish to gain a working knowledge of the many and varied subjects that are involved in the world of video. Written by an experienced freelance journalist, the book defines all the terms and acronyms that abound in the industry. Finally, it takes a look at the future of television and video, and the technology and reasoning behind digital television. High Definition Television is covered - particularly with reference to major developments in the USA.
