This is a great overview of modern video technology and achieves the authors' goal, namely "easy to understand explanations of the entire world of video."
Each chapter is pretty much self-supporting, so you don't have to read the entire book cover to cover. Having said that, the book is a fairly quick read. The copious illustrations are clear and the use of real world equipment is helpful to those that may be exposed to it.
This isn't the book to give detail about ever single aspect of a topic, but it certainly gives you enough to make use of the more specialised texts.

This book is very straight forward and a pretty easy read (depending on the section). It is great at explaining many topics I've been wondering about. Great source of information for the beginning broadcast engineer, or to refresh for anyone.

This book will help the novice understand the basics of video. It covers everything in video to allow for a broad knowledge into this field.

When i started to read this book, I could no longer stop with to reading it.
It's reads so nice and everything is explained so clearly.
That is what i've to say about it.
If you want to know more about video, go buy this book. it really helps alot.

I bought this book for my husband who received a degree in radio/television in the 60s. He enjoyed reading it and continues to reread sections. He highly recommends the book.

I was taking a graduate course in college in multimedia and learning it for my work. This book provides the best detailed coverage of video I have seen after looking a many books on multimedia. The material covers technical aspects in a way that makes them understandable for someone without an electrical engineering background but provides the details needed to really understand video. Recommended highly.
