Summary: Some comments related to Chapter 11
Review: In addition to the publisher's comments we would like to attract the attention of our readers to Chapter 11 of our book which takes 45 pages to detail the American DTV concept and the evolutionary process that resulted in its adoption thus making possible for the first time the achievement of several desirable goals such as:- The mandatory use of digital technologies for signal processing, compression and transmisison in a 6 MHz channel as well as the gradual phasing out of analog NTSC transmissions by the year 2006. - The accomodation of several picture and sound quality levels ranging from a single HDTV signal per channel with AC3 multi-channel sound capabilities down to multiple SDTV signals per channel or the transmission of data as chosen by the broadcaster. - The revolutionary concept of computer/broadcast interoperability that has long eluded both camps. A variety of topics related to the transition from analog NTSC to DTV in its many formats are discussed in detail.

Summary: Very in-depth on all aspects of digital video and audio
Review: The name is a little misleading - the book is really about television, and digital video (JPEG,MJEPEG, MPEG-1,MPEG-2 etc.) and digital audio and computer aspects of such. Detailed descriptions of algorithms, methods of coding/decoding. Highly recommended to everybody who deals with digital video production, digital video equipment design or just wants to know exactly how it works.

Summary: Nice job
Review: This book is very good. Its four parts are very easy to search: analog audio, digital audio, analog video and digital video. They cover all of the existing aspects. As a university teacher, I use it for my course on Television Systems, but I think it is useful for an audio course, or a comprehensive audio and video course. I still think that books like these should have a spanish translation, for my students who do not read english.

Summary: Good for general knoledge
Review: This is a Hybrid book - gives too much information to be a intructory book, but not enough information to be able to implement anything. the book covers a lot of grounds, from detialed description on analog television to general details on mpeg and more, and short intruductory to a lot of topics, like firewire, scsi, ethernet, pci , etc...
