Poynton Charles. Digital Video and HDTV Algorithms and Interfaces

1 edition. — Morgan Kaufmann, 2002. — 736 p. — (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Computer Graphics). — ISBN-10: 1558607927, ISBN-13: 978-1558607927Rapidly 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.Introduction - Raster images, Quantization, Brightness and contrast controls, Raster images in computing, Image structure, Raster scanning, Resolution, Constant luminance, Rendering intent, Introduction to luma and chroma, Introduction to component SDTV, Introduction to composite NTSC and PAL, Introduction to HDTV, Introduction to video compression, Digital video interfaces.Principles - Filtering and sampling, Resampling, interpolation, and decimation, Image digitization and reconstruction, Perception and visual acuity, Luminance and lightness, The CIE system of colorimetry, Color science for video, Gamma, Luma and color differences, Component video color coding for SDTV, Component video color coding for HDTV, Video signal processing, NTSC and PAL chroma modulation, NTSC and PAL frequency interleaving, NTSC Y’IQ system, Frame, field, line, and sample rates, Timecode, Digital sync, TRS, ancillary data, and interface, Analog SDTV sync, genlock, and interface, Videotape recording, 2-3 pulldown, Deinterlacing.
