4.0 out of 5 stars
Very strong combined introduction/reference work on video, August 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Video Demystified with CDROM (Paperback)
For basic digital video (uncompressed), this is as near to the "bible" as you can get. Very good descriptions of existing (NTSC/PAL/ SECAM) television systems and their various format standards. Covers progressive and interlaced formats and conversion between very well. Covers scaling very well. The book is weaker on MPEG compression, with mistakes and omissions. Go elsewhere for an explanation of this standard. Overall, a great text.

Good detailed information on analog and digital video signal, May 25, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Video Demystified with CDROM (Paperback)
Very detailed information. Good reference book for a digital video system designer. Too detailed for any other level. Author does not clearly relate the simpler of the concepts.
