John R,Your info nets are getting broader all the time. It must be frustrating to put those discs in the player and it just won't go.
Good idea to search the Usenets. Would you like to attend
an intense course on digital images?

On December 3-5, 1997, UCLA Extension will present the short course,
"Digital Video Technology", on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles.
The instructors are Charles A. Poynton, Poynton Vector Corporation,
and Robin Wilson, DiviCom.
Each participant receives the text, "A Technical Introduction to
Digital Video", Charles A. Poynton (John Wiley & Sons, 1996), as part
of the course materials.
Using computers and communication systems, it is easy to acquire,
process, transmit, and display photographic-quality still color
pictures. But ensuring smooth motion and accurate color reproduction
in graphic media is elusive. Digital video technology is required to
achieve these goals, but for various reasons this technology has
remained largely inaccessible to computer professionals.
This course provides an intensive three-day overview of the state of
the art in studio quality digital video. It is intended for computer
system designers, engineers, programmers, and/or technicians and is
intended to show how to use digital video technology to bring smooth
motion and accurate color to computing. For those involved in the
television industry, this course should impart an understanding of
digital images in computing to facilitate the application of video
systems, equipment and techniques to the rapidly expanding area of
multimedia.
The fee for the course is $1295, which includes the text and extensive
course notes. These course notes are for participants only, and are
not for sale. |
