Bøker av John Watkinson

Provides the theoretical background necessary to understand sound reproduction, along with practical examples. This book defines the specialist terms - both musical and physical - as they occur. It considers analog and digital audio as alternatives, and the advantages of both are stressed. It also features the technology in loudspeaker design.

Describes four core technologies of image reproduction, sound reproduction, data processing and communications. This book shows how these technologies operate together and the necessary conversions that take place between them. It demonstrates audio and video principles alongside the communications technologies: DVB, Networks, Telephony, and more.

Re-written by international consultant and industry leader John Watkinson, this book contains information on emerging technologies.

Helps you learn the basics from first principles: such as the physics of sound and principles of hearing, then progress onward to fundamental digital principles, conversion, compression and coding and then onto transmission, digital audio workstations, DAT and optical disks.

Talking about the differences between audio interfaces, this book shows how to make devices 'talk to each' in the digital domain despite their subtle differences. It covers dedicated audio interfaces, audio over computer network interfaces and revised material on practical audio interfacing and synchronisation.

Presents the technique and processes necessary to create, record, deliver, and display television pictures. This book takes you through the fundamental principles of the subject, with practical applications and a guide to troubleshooting included. It also covers encoding, decoding, recording and transmission.

Provides fundamental knowledge alongside practical guidance on how to avoid pitfalls and poor quality. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the standards - MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H-264. It covers topics on enabling technologies such as interpolation, motion estimation and transforms.

Considers analog and digital audio for television and stresses the advantages of both. This work discusses microphone and loudspeaker technology, and covers audio recording and routing and transmission. It is written in a non-mathematical style, and includes surround sound.

Covering the developments in digital audio technology, this book provides an introduction to the theory. It includes internet audio, PC audio technology, DVD, MPEG audio compression, digital audio broadcasting and audio networks.
