This is the book written by Keith JACK entitled Video Demystified - A Handbook for the Digital Engineer (3rd ed). The book focus on the following:1) an introduction to video - discusses the various video formats and signals and the differences between interlaced and progressive video, Block diagrams of DVD players and digital settop boxes 2) reviews the common color spaces and how they are mathematically related. This include RGB, YUV, YIQ, YCbCr, HSI, HSV, and HLS and Considerations for converting from a non-RGB to a RGB color space and gamma correction. 3) video signals overview that reviews the video timing, analog representation, and digital representation of various video formats, including 480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p. 4) analog video interfaces, including the analog RGB, YPbPr, svideo, and SCART interfaces for SDTV and HDTV consumer and pro-video applications.5) various parallel and serial digital video interfaces for semiconductors, pro-video equipment, and consumer SDTV and HDTV equipment. It also reviews the BT.656, VMI, VIP, and ZV Port semiconductor interfaces, the SDI, SDTI and HD-SDTI provideo interfaces, and the DVI, DFP, OpenLDI, GVIF, and IEEE 1394 consumer interfaces plus the formats for digital audio, timecode, error correction, etc. for transmission various digital interfaces. 6) several digital video processing requirements such as 4:4:4 to 4:2:2 YCbCr, YCbCr digital filter templates, scaling, interlaced/noninterlaced conversion, scan rate conversion (also called frame-rate, field-rate, or temporal-rate conversion), alpha mixing, flicker filtering, chroma keying, and DCTbased video compression. Brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and sharpness controls are also discussed. 7) provides an NTSC, PAL, and SECAM overview. This review various composite analog video signal formats along with video test signals, VBI data includes timecode (VITC and LTC), closed captioning and extended data services (XDS), widescreen signaling (WSS), and teletext. In addition, PALplus, RF modulation, BTSC and Zweiton analog stereo audio, and NICAM 728 digital stereo audio are reviewed. 8) digital techniques used for the encoding and decoding of NTSC and PAL color video signals. This Also reviews various luma/chroma (Y/C) separation techniques and their trade-offs. 9) H.261 and H.263 video compression standards used for video teleconferencing. 10) Consumer DV digital video compression standards used by digital VCRs and digital camcorders. 11) MPEG 1 video compression standard. 12) MPEG 2 video compression standard used by DVD, SVCD, and DTV. 13) Digital Television (DTV) overview, discussing the ATSC and DVB SDTV and HDTV standards. This book contains over 400 video terms has been included for reference and if you encounter an unfamiliar term, it will be defined in the glossary.
