The industry "bible" is back and it's better than ever. The Art of Digital Video has served as the ultimate reference guide for those working with digital video for generations. Now this classic has been revised and re-written by international consultant and industry leader John Watkinson to include important technical updates on this ever-evolving topic. The format has also been improved to include optional sections that provide additional information that you can choose to skip or investigate further, depending on your interests and comfort level with the subject. As the worlds of film, digital imaging, and computing have converged, this book has evolved to remain current and relevant, while still remaining the classic that experts in the field have trusted for years.

Master the basics from first principles: the physics of sound, principles of hearing etc, then progress onward to fundamental digital principles, conversion, compression and coding and then onto transmission, digital audio workstations, DAT and optical disks. Get up to speed with how digital audio is used within DVD, Digital Audio Broadcasting, networked audio and MPEG transport streams. All of the key technologies are here: compression, DAT, DAB, DVD, SACD, oversampling, noise shaping and error correction theories are treated in a simple yet accurate form. Thoroughly researched, totally up-to-date and technically accurate this is the only book you need on the subject.

Coding for Digital Recording

(First there is an introduction to the principles of digit...)

First there is an introduction to the principles of digital optimal and magnetic recording, designed to cutting the shortcomings inherent in all realiable recorders. The characteristics of stationary head and rotary head tape recorders are contrasted with these of magnetic and optical disks. The book then introduces the concept of channel coding which allows real data to be recorded despite limitations such as jitter and restricted bandwidth, and shows how elegant coding techniques can dramatically improve the storage of a medium. The reliability of the medium is then compared with the sensitivity of the data to errors, and it is shown that in most cases an error correction system is necessary . Error correction is a complex subject, but the explanations given here eliminate all unnecessary mathematics, making understanding easier. The coding theory is then reinforced by a detailed analysis of a number of modern digital recording formats, including Compact Disc, CDROM, RDAT, and the D-1 and D-2 digital video recorder formats.

(D-3 is the highest-density DVTR format and offers reduced...)

D-3 is the highest-density DVTR format and offers reduced running costs in an existing composite environment. Digital VTR's use technologies which are absent in the analog machines which preceded them. In this text all of these have been treated from first principles so that no great prior knowledge is needed. The purpose of this book is to describe and explain the D-3 format and its supporting equipment. The book has been written to be easily understandable, with practical examples and references.

(Composite video was developed solely to provide a way of ...)

Composite video was developed solely to provide a way of broadcasting colour television in a way which would be compatible with existing monochrome receivers. It requires no more bandwidth than a monochrome signal, and so full bandwidth monochrome video recorders could be simply adapted to record colour, and the composite video recorder was born. This is not just a theory book, because it also contains numerous examples of current practice, nor is it just an introductory book, because the detailed descriptions omit nothing of consequence and there are references for those interested in deeper study.
