Great book

Great book for the starting Engineer or the experienced Engineer who needs to look something up. Easy to understand and contains the most important aspects of video today.

Very very detailed look at video technology

This book is great if you need the full details on specific video technologies. It covers the precise timing patterns for many different broadcast video standards, it has all the equations for quadrature modulation of the color channel for all the major standards, it has detailed bit layout in packets for many digital video standards, etc. etc. It is really helpful if you have to implement one of these systems and want something that helps to explain the purpose of the standard as well as the details.

My Video Bible

As a EE specializing in hardware development often related to video processing, I consider this my "Video Bible".

Very strong combined introduction/reference work on video

For basic digital video (uncompressed), this is as near to the "bible" as you can get. Very good descriptions of existing (NTSC/PAL/ SECAM) television systems and their various format standards. Covers progressive and interlaced formats and conversion between very well. Covers scaling very well. The book is weaker on MPEG compression, with mistakes and omissions. Go elsewhere for an explanation of this standard. Overall, a great text.

The definitive digital video book

Not for the faint of heart, but still quite approachable. If you are a software or hardware engineer who needs an in-depth understanding of a variety of topics related to digital video, this is the book for you. I bought 20 copies for my group.
