Hi folks,

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about video and I would like to find some books on the topic.
I'm looking for books more on the technical side of things. Like learning how to read waveform/vectorscope montiors, learning the IRE scale, color correction ("timing"?), being able to calibrate monitors properly, etc.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
