5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and Concise, July 22, 2001

This review is from: Basic TV Technology, Third Edition: Digital and Analog (Media Manuals) (Paperback)
I read this book to refresh my basic grasp of television technology concepts, and for that purpose it worked perfectly. Organized into small sections which build slowly from simple ideas (electricity basics) to complex tools (video servers). The book also includes a useful list of further reading material and a reference glossary.
