sketch by Kevin Melia

About the author

Charles Poynton is an independent contractor specializing in the physics, mathematics, and engineering of digital colour imaging systems, including digital video, HD, and digital cinema. Apart from his professional work, he is a PhD candidate at Simon Fraser University. In the early 1980s, Charles designed and built the digital video equipment used by NASA to convert video from the Space Shuttle into NTSC. In 1990, he initiated Sun Microsystems’ HD research project, and introduced

color management technology to Sun. He was Sun’s founding member in what a few years later became the International Color Consortium (ICC).

Charles was a key contributor to current digital video and HD studio standards; he originated the number 1080 (as in 1080p60) in HD standards. A Fellow of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE), he was awarded the Society’s prestigious David Sarnoff Gold Medal for his work to integrate video technology with computing and communications.

Charles has taught many popular courses on video technology, HD, colour image coding, and colour science, including many siggraph courses.

Charles lives in Toronto with his wife Barbara –

a psychotherapist. Their twenty-something daughter Quinn is back in Toronto after stints in Paris and New York. Their teenager Georgia is an undergrad at Dalhousie University in Halifax. It is owing to pressure from all three family members that he has reverted to spelling colour with a u. The sketch in the margin was made many years ago, just prior to Charles granting Georgia’s ninth-birthday wish to shave off his beard.

This book is set in the Syntax typeface. Syntax was designed by Hans Eduard Meier, and first issued by Stempel in 1969. This book uses Linotype’s revision issued in 2000 that includes bold italics, small caps, and old-style figures. The body type is 10.2 points, leaded to 12.8 points, set ragged-right.

The mathematical work underlying this book was accomplished using Mathematica, from Wolfram Research. The illustrations were executed in Adobe

Illustrator; for raster (bitmap) images, Adobe Photoshop was used. The equations were set using Design Science MathType. Text editing, layout, and typesetting were accomplished using Adobe FrameMaker. Adobe Acrobat was employed for electronic distribution.

The work was accomplished using various Apple Macintosh computers.
