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.
Look for Charles Poynton's books:
"A Technical Introduction to Digital Video"
Charles A. Poynton, John Wiley & Sons, 1996, ISBN: 047112253X
"Digital Video and HDTV Algorithms and Interfaces",
Charles A. Poynton, Morgan Kaufmann, 2003, ISBN: 1558607927
The latter expands on the first, covering HDTV, and compression.
As well as a lot of technical information on digital video,
nicely presented, with many illustrations and cross references,
there's a thorough examination of the color science aspects.
