Review quote:
"A Broadcast Engineering Tutorial for Non-Engineers By Graham Jones is going to be a valuable reference book for the broadcast industry. I recommend it for people in the industry who need to know more about the world of Broadcast Engineering. Jones does an outstanding job of explaining complex technical issue to non-engineers. This book is long overdue!!" - Raymond Benedict, President of the Society of Broadcast Engineers
"This is the book for anyone wanting to understand broadcast technology. While it is an easy read for those without a technical background, it is also a great resource for the experienced engineer." - Mark Richer, President of the Advanced Television Systems Committee
