HARTWIG’S BOOK Congratulations to Language and Communications Chair Bob Hartwig, who recently unveiled his fourth edition of the popular tome Basic TV Technology: Digital and Analog, Fourth Edition published by Focal Press. This timely edition of Focal’s Media Manual series includes updated information concerning the technological innovations of High Definition, digital television, disc based recording, and compression technology.

Bob takes the building block approach for this handy reference on relevant technologies for TV broadcasting, allowing the reader to get a thumbnail sketch of every essential building block of TV technology, from units of measurement to surround sound basics. Bob’s goal is to provide the TV production person with an understanding of the individual elements of a TV system, enabling the reader to grasp how today’s highly complex television broadcast systems function.

Bob Hartwig has scored a bulls-eye in providing a clear, concise, and easy to read reference for television production people or anyone wanting to develop a good understanding of how a sophisticated TV system works. Rumor has it that Bob will be celebrating the books release at the 2005 National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) television technology trade show in Las Vegas.
