By
J. Ratcliff, John Radcliff is a freelance trainer, producer and technical writer. He was formerly Head of Production at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication.
Description
Recent radical changes in timecode technology, location shooting and post-production working practices have been brought about by the
fragmentation of the television programme making industry and by a dramatic increase in affordable digital transmission and editing equipment
and systems.
With the expansion of non-traditional television service producers (cable, satellite and video-on-demand) almost anything
hoes as far as shooting and editing formats are concerned.
Timecode: A User's Guide is an indispensable reference for anyone needing
to get to grips with the many aspects of timecode, whether in-house or on location.
Taking into account these changes this book has
now been brought completely up to date to include:
* timecode and DVD, LTC & VITC in HANC packets in the serial digital TV interfaces
* timecode in IEEE1395 (Firewire)
* timecode and digital video cassettes
* new recording formats of DVD, DV mini cassettes and D6 are
included
* 4:3 scanning for wide-screen films - standards updated
* new material to cover new working practices
* new appendices to cover
the global LF time data transmissions and time data embedded in BBC transmissions
Advice is also given on avoiding and remedying faults
and errors.
Audience
Broadcast and communications engineers and trainees.
