With television programming broadcast worldwide 24/7, the industry needs a common language. Constantly changing technology, however, has resulted in continuously changing terminology, sometimes leaving even the most knowledgeable broadcasters with a lack of understanding. In this dictionary more than 1,500 terms and acronyms, modern and classical, are presented. The definitions are straightforward and jargon-free (except where defining jargon) and ample cross-references are provided.

I was looking for a reference book that would help me learn Audio/Visual terminology.The book I received was copywritten in 1998. As technology has most certainly changed ten…twentyfold since then, I find the usefullness of this item to be limited…very limited. While I did purchase this item for little of nothing (the cost of shipping was actually greater than the cost of the book, it is no bargain if the definitions are dated.

competent overview of technical terminology
Having read this dictionary from the beginning to the end more than once, I could not avoid being impressed by the attention to detail and precision of the definitions which indicates Moshkovitz’s breadth of comprehension of the professional terminology he defines so well. I believe that the inclusion of illustrations would have enhanced the look and feel of the book. I understand that a new book by Moshkovitz is due out in April and am curious to see how he deals with his new subject “The Virtual Studio”
