How Video Works, Second Edition: From Analog to High Definition

Customer Reviews:

A good primer

By Tech Geek - March 30, 2008

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.

great coverage of video

By Donald A. Holzworth "still groovin'" - January 19, 2012

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.

Great book!

By B. Wood - June 5, 2009

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.
