About The Author
This is an ideal introductory text, which concentrates on basics and essentials, with no great existing knowledge of digital techniques being assumed. Written in an easy-to-read, understandable manner, the book concentrates on the theory behind digital video, with examples from current practices. Whilst some aspects of the subject are complex the use of mathematics is kept to an absolute minimum.

Audience: Television professionals needing to apply digital video systems, equipment, and techniques to multimedia/digital TV applications. Computer system designers, engineers, programmes, or technicians needing to learn how to apply digital video to computer systems.
