TELEVISION AND VIDEO ENGINEERING: Beginner Guide

UNIT I FUNDAMENTALS OF TELEVISION
Aspect ratio-Image continuity-Number of scanning lines-Interlaced scanning-Picture resolution-Camera tubes-Image Orthicon-Vidicon- Plumbicon- Silicon Diode Array Vidicon- Solid-state Image scanners- Monochrome picture tubes- Composite video signal- video signal dimension-horizontal sync. Composition- vertical sync. Details functions of vertical pulse train- Scanning sequence details. Picture signal transmission positive and negative modulation- VSB transmission- Sound signal transmission- Standard channel bandwidth.

UNIT II MONOCHROME TELEVISION TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER

TV transmitter-TV signal Propagation- Interference- TV Transmission Antennas-Monochrome TV receiver- RF tuner- UHF, VHF tuner-Digital tuning techniques-AFT- IF subsystems-AGC Noise cancellation-Video and Sound inter-carrier detection-Vision IF subsystem- DC re-insertion-Video amplifier circuits-Sync operation- typical sync processing circuits-Deflection current waveforms, Deflection oscillators- Frame deflection circuits- requirements- Line deflection circuits-EHT generation- Receiver antennas.
UNIT III ESSENTIALS OF COLOUR TELEVISION

Compatibility- Colour perception-Three colour theory- Luminance, Hue and saturation- Colour television cameras-Values of luminance and colour difference signals-Colour television display tubes-Delta-gun Precision-in-line and Trinitron colour picture tubes- Purity and convergence- Purity and static and Dynamic convergence adjustments- Pincushion-correction techniques-Automatic degaussing circuit- Gray scale tracking colour signal transmission- Bandwidth-Modulation of colour difference signals-Weighting factors- Formation of chrominance signal.
