Hi Steve,
I would recommend "Digital Video and HDTV Algorithms and Interfaces" by
Charles Poynton. This book does contain the color space information
about NTSC, and HDTV. However, this book is very poorly organized.
The information is there, but you have to dig it out. If anyone knows
of a better source, I am also interested.
One thing I have discovered in reading this book and running a few
experiments is that the NTSC color space is limited by the encoding
algorithm and not the phosphors of the CRT. HDTV is a whole other can
of worms.
I have also learned that the NTSC profile only accounts for the
typical CRT and not the encoding algorithm.

Hi
guys and gals
His may be a little off-topic but I hope I can be pointed in the right
direction. With the help of books from Bruce Fraser, this forum and
various other sources I think I have a reasonable understanding of
basic colour theory and colour management as it relates to photography
and computers. However, when I step into the world of video processors
and HDTV displays I’m lost. It seems that nothing I have learnt in the
former area applies to the latter where colour management seems to be a
farce. I was wondering if people could point me to resources that
would help me get up to speed on the video world and help me tie it to
my knowledge of colour spaces and the like for computing/photography.
Thanks in advance
Steve
