Learn about Divicom at UCLA. 3 day course...................................inforamp.net UCLA Extension Los Angeles, April 15-17, 1998 Digital Video Technology Robin Wilson (of DiviCom) and I will teach a three-day course Digital Video Technology, on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles. The course is based on my book A Technical Introduction to Digital Video; each registrant will receive a copy of the book, along with course note handouts. If you are a television professionalÿ- a technical director, systems engineer, or maintenance engineerÿ- you probably received little training in digital video technology. This course reviews the theory and practice of digital video, to help you gain a better understanding of modern studio equipment. In addition, you will learn about digital images in computing, so as to apply your knowledge of video systems, equipment and techniques to the emerging area of multimedia. If you are a computer system designer, engineer, programmer, or technician, you know that it is easy to use computers to acquire, process, transmit, and display photographic-quality still color pictures. But smooth motion and accurate color reproduction require digital video technology, which has remained largely inaccessible to computer professionals. This course will help you learn how to use digital video technology to bring smooth motion and accurate color to computing. The course will introduce emerging standards for compressed digital video, including Digital Video Cassette (DVC) and its derivatives DVCAM, DVCPRO, and Digital-S. In addition, the course will introduce the technology of MPEG and Digital Versatile Disc (DVD), and high-definition television (HDTV). The fee for the course is $1295, which includes the text and extensive course notes. Additional information and a complete course description is available at UCLA Extension.
