Technology

With applications in computing and video as well as in medical, industrial, and military equipment, display technology is an exciting growth area of the information revolution. Here is the first single-volume reference to cover all aspects of display technology in an easy-to-read format accessible to all those involved in the design, specification, installation, and maintenance of electronic displays. Enhanced by numerous diagrams, the book examines and explains the operating principles of CRT-based projection displays, light-valve-based projections systems, solid-state computer and video displays, the requirementss of computer imaging and the quest for higher resolution, as well as special purpose display systems and experimental devices not yet on the market. With such exciting new developments as high-definition television and holographic displays at hand, this timely resource will be in great demand.

Since its publication in February of 2000, the Standard Handbook of Video and Television Engineering has becomes its field’s standard reference, the one book every engineer and technician in broadcasting needs to own. By carefully tracking the field’s movement from monolithic broadcast stations into a complex web of smaller stations and video producers, this book has stayed relevant while its competition has fallen by the wayside.This new edition features over 50% new material, most crucially multiple chapters on video networking technologies, new digital television and data broadcast standards (for both the US and Europe), and updates on every aspect of video and broadcast equipment and protocols.
