What does a proffesional video technician needs
20 Nov 2000
Format:Hardcover
A reference book for everything related to digital video. Students and engineers can really benefit from this book. It has a special place on my bookshelf considering that I'm reading it over and over again. The book explains both basic video and digital principles also covers conversion, digital video processing, video compression, digital audio in video, and digital recording. At the end, for a special desert, it has DVE effects explained just as if you were listening classes at the university.
