The Handbook is designed to meet the needs of prosumers and
professionals who are currently shooting with one of the DV
formats. It is not an “HDV for Dummies” book that simply
expands upon the often poorly written camcorder manuals. It
is a comprehensive introduction to HDV technology, HDV
shooting, HDV post-production, and distribution.
