Description
This text and reference provides an introduction to video systems, covering the basics of all important video technologies. Because of the rapid developments taking place in video, especially high-definition TV (HDTV) and digital applications, this book should prove interesting reading for both new engineers entering the field and current engineers who want to stay abreast of recent developments. The book contains chapters on: video system fundamentals, picture quality, especially as it relates to HDTV; digital video; HDTV; professional and home video recorders and cameras; signal processing and editing systems; fibre optic transmission systems; CATV systems; microwave transmission systems. The author's approach is tutorial, treating subjects in a logical and systematic manner. While his language should be clearly understood by anyone with a knowledge of basic electrical and electromagnetic theory, the book also serves as an introduction to the many specialties involved in video technology.
