I'm looking for a good reference book on alignment and calibration of
the sort of video equipment found in TV studios. The actual application
is a computer graphics lab which has a broadcast-quality NTSC encoder and
sync generator to provide NTSC video for recording. We also have video
distribution amplifiers to distribute both NTSC and RGBS video to monitors
and a camera.
I need a reference which explains in gory detail how to set up all of
the analog adjustments in this equipment. We will soon have a video
waveform monitor and vectorscope to measure the signals.
A handbook aimed at the chief engineer of a television studio would be
about right, I think. Does anyone have any recommendations? Something
which specifically talks about the sort of test signals which can be
generated with a good frame buffer (Ikonas) would be marvellous, but
I expect I'll have to settle for things oriented to the television
industry, which is okay.
And to all of the people out there who have similar equipment, would
anyone care to share their experiences or their problems? Discussion
probably should be confined to net.graphics, so please delete net.video
from the newsgroup list if you followup this article.
