DESCRIPTION:
The impact of new (HDTV) systems is also discussed, for the first time in any cable television book. To insure proper maintenance, readers get the latest test procedures and measurement, plus guidance on standards, records and reference data.. This practical guide to the design, implementation, and maintenance of cable television systems, written for technical personnel, engineers, managers, and operators, includes an overall introduction to standard National Television Standard Committee (NTSC) and High Definition Television (HDTV) systems, outlining start-up procedures and development of the industry to the present day
"Excellent, but dated, nuts 'n bolts how-to for CATV" according to A Customer. Excellent information at a detailed level on how to build a cable TV system from scratch, but because this book was published in 1990, it is dated. Sadly, even though the tag line in Amazon specifically mentions HDTV (so does the cover of the book), there are only 2 pages on that subject, mainly to let the reader know that no standards had been published as of the book's writing. Copious diagrams and examples are this book's main strengths, making it a useful reso. Cable TV Technology by Eugene Bartlett The book was very useful, however I orginally bought the book in 1989 or 90 and used the information exstensively, however I beleive it to be somewhat outdated now. I know Eugene was writing an updated version at that time however I have not read any further books by Eugene. I didn't actually enter here to review this book. I was really hope to find an email address for Eugene. He and I work together as staff engineers at Tele-Media co. years ago and i was hoping . A great overview I'm new to Cable TV and work mainly on the software side. Two years of hearing the plant guys use decibels to describe coax runs led me to this book. This book is a great intro to the RF side of things. Note that while it isn't an EE level e-mag book it is not for the mathematically faint at heart.
