Digital TV vs. HDTV -- Interrelationship April 11, 2009
J. R. Washburne (Central Florida, USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This could be titled 'More than you ever wanted to know about Digital TV and HDTV'. It is a very comprehensive and detailed description of the two TV enhancements, comparing their differences, similarities and interrelationships.
I cannot accurately vouch for its accuracy or technical completeness but, for example, the author's description of the history of TV development differs somewhat from what I remember. There is a very good chance that he is correct and that my memories have been distorted by the aging process. He does include an adequate bibliography in the volume.
This book is not for beginners. I would expect that it would be very tough sledding for someone without a BSEE in Electronics, an FCC broadcast license, and/or significant experience as a TV serviceman or the like.
For the record, I have a BA degree with a Math major and an Electronics minor; I was an Electronics Technician (first class) in the Navy, had an
FCC broadcast license (second class) and state licenses with MATV endorsement in New York and Indiana. Foor many years I was a computer systems analyst full time and a part-time radio/TV serviceman. I am now enjoying retirement.
