  This book describes the essential theory of digital videos and a great deal of the practice, but the subject is too great to attempt to include any history. The current position in high definition is too fluid to document at the present time and has been consciously omitted except where general principles apply. Every concept begins with the basic mechanism involved and defines its terminology. Wherever possible, explanations are given in plain English, equations being used as a last resort.
