This is the first book to adddress the convergence of Video & Information Technologies with file based (tapeless) workflows;

Audio/Video (A/V) systems and Information Technology (IT) have collided. Broadcasters and other A/V professionals are impacted by the transition to IT components and techniques. This book will help them integrate these new technologies.

• Completely revised second edition in 2009
• 500 pages, hardbound
• 235 Illustrations
• 13 Appendices covering interesting and diverse topics
• A complete AV/IT Glossary

The second edition version is a much needed reference text for any A/V or IT system professional working in media today.  Al does a great job in explaining the video world to the IT professional as well as giving the A/V engineer invaluable insight into the media IT environment. 

I have given copies of the book to key members of my staff and we have multiple copies in our tech library.
