Digital Video and HDTV Algorithms and Interfaces |
Rapidly evolving computer and communications technologies have achieved data transmission rates and data storage capacities high enough for digital video. But video involves much more than just pushing bits! Achieving the best possible image quality, accurate color, and smooth motion requires understanding many aspects of image acquisition, coding, processing, and display that are outside the usual realm of computer graphics. At the same time, video system designers are facing new demands to interface with film and computer system that require techniques outside conventional video engineering.
Charles Poynton's 1996 book A Technical Introduction to Digital Video became an industry favorite for its succinct, accurate, and accessible treatment of standard definition television (SDTV). In Digital Video and HDTV, Poynton augments that book with coverage of high definition television (HDTV) and compression systems.

With the help of hundreds of high quality technical illustrations, this book presents the following topics:
* Basic concepts of digitization, sampling, quantization, gamma, and filtering
* Principles of color science as applied to image capture and display
* Scanning and coding of SDTV and HDTV
* Video color coding: luma, chroma (4:2:2 component video, 4fSC composite video)
* Analog NTSC and PAL
* Studio systems and interfaces
* Compression technology, including M-JPEG and MPEG-2
* Broadcast standards and consumer video equipment

"In his forward to Perry Alexander's System Level Design with Rosetta, Grant Martin observes that "every new language seems to require at least one book be written to promote understanding and further interest and use, so [for Rosetta] this milestone has now been achieved." Alexander, one of the fathers of the Rosetta language, has produced what may prove to be the seminal text on Rosetta, and one that helps it move from an academic exercise to a real-world language. The book is packed with clear code examples that explain all the language's elements, both individually and in combination. Inasmuch as Rosetta represents more than a simple language but also a methodology, that methodology is also clearly detailed. Anyone who's curious about Rosetta and, indeed, interested in a holistic approach to system-level design, should find this volume highly useful." - David Maliniak, Electronic Design Online, December 18, 2006
