DESCRIPTION : Video is a fast-expanding communication medium. It is not only rapidly replacing film and film cameras, but is also developing in directions in which it is difficult for film to follow in terms of facility and cost, such in the use of special effects and is ease of instant viewing. This book presents in one volume most of information that is needed in order to understand what video embraces.
It is a practical book on all aspects of the subject intended for the serious enthusiast and the semi-professional in video as well as technical personnel in small video/television production compagnies. Early chapters cover television standanrds, trasmission, the structure of the complete video signal, cameras and tube including a build-it-yourself monochrome camera. The master control desk is dealt with in detail, including tricks effects such as wiping and keying, and a simple self-build control desk is described. Later chapters cover transmission and reception systems, cables, video recording and editing (open reel and cassette) and audio recording and playback. A chapter is devoted to TV production techniques including lighting, composition, scenario and make-up, while further chapters round off the coverage with measurements, design criteria, diagrams and test patterns, some in full colour.
The book forms a comprehensive guide to many aspects of video and will be useful to the video specialist in broadcasating, in business, training or audio-visual service and to the enthusiast.
