DESCRIPTION:
But video involves much more than just pushing bits! Achieving the best possible image quality, accurate color, and smooth motion requires understanding many aspects of image acquisition, coding, processing, and display that are outside the usual realm of computer graphics. At the same time, video system designers are facing new demands to interface with film and computer system that require techniques outside conventional video engineering.Charles Poynton's 1996 book A Technical Introduction to Digital Video became an industry favorite for its succinct, accurate, and accessible treatment of standard definition television (SDTV). Rapidly evolving computer and communications technologies have achieved data transmission rates and data storage capacities high enough for digital video. In Digital Video and HDTV, Poynton augments that book with coverage of high definition television (HDTV) and compression systems.For more information on HDTV Retail markets, go to: insightmediafo/newslettersp#hdtv With the help of hundreds of
"Very useful, but" according to Santa. This book is undoubtedly useful for any practicing video engineer and for anyone seeking to familiarize themselves with video standards and technology. It covers a broad range of topics under one cover. Depth is lacking in most parts, but then this book is not intended to be used for theoretical study. It is a handy guide to have at one's desk.My biggest and only complaint is about the way the material is. M. Biegert said First Rate Book on Digital Video. My favorite book on video. It is the most thorough and careful development of digital video I have seen.While you won't hear this often, it is a beautifully produced book. It contains very clear illustrations, its equations are clearly presented, and the text is nicely organized.. Peter Glaskowsky said A great book for all watchers of TV technology. Charles Poynton is one of the world's leading experts on TV and video technology, and he's a great writer too. Poynton demonstrates good humor and tremendous attention to detail in this book. In fact, the price of the book is both funny and technically relevant-- it's the field rate of NTSC video, 59.9A great book for all watchers of TV technology Peter Glaskowsky Charles Poynton is one of the world's leading experts on TV and video technology, and he's a great writer too.

This book is an invaluable reference in how digital video is done, both for TV people and for computer graphics people, and it will go a long way toward accelerating the convergence and in minimizing the damage it may cause to either party."From the Foreword by Jim Blinn, Microsoft ResearchRapidly evolving computer and communications technologies have achieved data transmission rates and data storage capacities high enough for digital video.
