Book Description

March 13, 1997
The essence of measurement in video is to make sure that all the parts fit. In other words, making sure the picture fits the system, or conversely, the system can handle the picture.


An Introduction to Video Measurement sets out in clear and simple terms, with many photographs and line drawings, the answers to the question "What do we measure in video and why?" A section at the beginning is devoted to the principles of electronic signals, ending with a description of the whole video system: from camera set up, and studio timing to videotape editing. With an Introduction to Video Measurement, a broad knowledge of the whole video system will be gained.


PETER HODGES FBIPP, FRPS, REING is a freelance trainer and consultant for the TV, film and photographic industries. He operates his own Moving Image Masterclasses which teach the fundamentals of video from a visual base. He worked for many years at BBC Pebble Mill and is the author of The Video Camera Operator's Handbook also published by Focal Press.


an excellent primer
clearly written
will suit professionals and students alike

Editorial Reviews

Review

'All those who feel similarly unsure of what happens to their pictures
should read Peter Hodges book. The aim is to explain why and how we
measure the video signal.'

3.0 out of 5 stars Depth lacking clarity, April 13, 2002
By 
Robb Delantoni (Burlingame, CA USA) - See all my reviews
An interesting excursion into television theory, with practical explanations on the reading and interpreting of waveforms, vectorscopes, and the like, apparently written for non engineers (like me). However, this book is handicapped by inconsistent sentence structure, puzzling and sometimes incoherent explanations, strange jumps in logical thought, and (for American readers) the unusual way some English writers tend to express themselves in print. Especially engineers. This promising book would be worth its... price if it had been edited for clarity and grammer. Unfortunately, although its seems like there is a lot of useful and practical information in this book, solving the logical and gramatical puzzles to dig it out takes too much effort.
