Zusatztext "As with all John Watkinson books! the present one is a classic example of an excellent engineering textbook. It deserves to be on the bookshelf of every broadcaster involved in new coding technologies." - EBU Technical ReviewReviews of the Previous Edition:"No book can claim to be a definitive book on a given technology. Technologies develop too fast. This book! however! deserves to be acclaimed as the definitive book on general MPEG aspects." The EBU Technical Review"...a thorough and very lucid introduction to audio and video compression. Through the use of simple! clear diagrams and some of the clearest technical writing I have come across! Watkinson makes the whole process look remarkably straightforward...an absorbing read for the curious! and a useful source of hard information for those with a professional interest."Electronics Australia Informationen zum Autor John Watkinson is an independent international consultant in advanced applications of electronics to audiovisual and avionics systems.
