3.0 out of 5 stars Depth lacking clarity, April 13, 2002

By	Robb Delantoni "rdelantoni" (Burlingame, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Introduction to Video Measurement, Second Edition (Paperback)

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.
