Writing for readers with a background in electronics, some knowledge of analog television, and a basic digital background, Benoit (Philips Semiconductors, France) intends this book as a summary and starting point rather than a handbook for experts. He describes the complex problems that had to be solved in order to define reliable standards for broadcasting digital pictures, and he explains the solutions chosen for the European digital video broadcasting (DVB) system based on the international MPEG-2 compression standard. The book ends with a description of a digital integrated receiver decoder, or set-top box, and a discussion of future prospects. Adapted and translated by the author from a 1996 work published in French (Paris: Dunod). The second edition adds a chapter on software interoperability. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR.

This collection of short stories includes many different genres. Whether the story line is a psychological effort, comedy, science fiction, fantasy or satire, the author has tried to render a diverse entertainment value to each. In this fast-paced, hectic, and TV-dominated culture, these stories were written to offer a half-hour to one-hour window of insightful entertainment, reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone" and "Hitchcock Presents." Many of these tales have an abrupt, unexpected twist and could easily be adapted as television screenplays. The sequence of these short stories will keep the reader guessing as to what motifs and messages will appear next, much like a baseball pitcher working his batter to keep him off balance. Many of these stories are like a quick jolt, providing instant gratification. Among the 20 very different and mind-bending story lines are the wizardry of Baron Chronosimos, the scientific genius of time traveler Frank Morrison, and the ghostly appearance of former Black Panther Fred Hampton. Says the author, "With some it may be history, others a comical farce. I have tried to incorporate many different themes that might encourage a broader understanding of the myriad thought processes to be gained through the printed word." So sit back and enjoy The Big Picture and Other Byte-sized Short Stories.
