Synopsis

This text is written for anyone who needs to know more about state-of-the-art audio-visual equipment and techniques. It not only discusses the traditional audio visual approaches, such as sound, slide-tape, multi-image, film and video, but also covers the latest in computer graphics and interactive audio-visual systems. Since the first edition has been published high definition television, multi-media interactive and sophisticated computer displays with ever more confusing acronymes have appeared on the market. This second edition introduces many of them, but does keep them in their place. The book states that audio visual must communicate, motivate and entertain, and must not be allowed to be dominated by its own technology.
