TV And Video Technology

TV and Video Technology (1999)

Sold by Crappy Old Books – because some things age like fine VHS

Before HDMI, before 4K, before the streaming wars — there was TV and Video Technology (1999), Eugene Trundle’s definitive guide to the dazzling world of CRTs, SCART sockets, PAL vs NTSC, and why your VCR was always blinking 12:00.

Packed with diagrams, technical insights, and enough signal theory to impress even the most nostalgic AV club veteran, this textbook is a charmingly retro snapshot of a pre-digital age — a time when “video” meant actual tape and not a cloud-based algorithm.

Whether you’re a vintage tech enthusiast, a budding electronics geek, or just wondering what the heck a "composite signal" is, this glorious throwback delivers. It’s practical, it’s dusty, and it smells like the inside of a tube TV — but that’s just how we like it at Crappy Old Books. (actually, AI gets carried away, its virtually new).

Warning: May cause sudden urges to buy a soldering iron, a stack of blank TDKs, and a cathode ray tube.
