Book Overview

Television today means moving pictures in colour with sound, brought to the viewer by terrestrial or satellite broadcast, cable or recording medium. The technique and processes necessary to create, record, deliver and display television pictures form the major part of this book.

Television Fundamentals is written in clear English, with a minimum of mathematics. Readers are taken, in a logical sequence of small steps, through the fundamental principles of the subject, with practical applications and a guide to troubleshooting included. Encoding, decoding, recording and transmission are treated in depth.

A book worth of recommendation

Television Fundamentals is a must for every professional who works in audio/video. In such subject Mr. Watkinson is a great Master. Congratulations for this nice work.PS: I strongly suggest for the next editions of this book that it could be printed in a better format in such way we can see the figures clearer (sorry the claim, nothing is perfect).
