这部媒体史探索了一系列便携式小型摄像机、回放设备和存储设备,这些设备使电影和视频的制作面向所有人。从20世纪的8mm胶片到20世纪70年代的模拟录像带,再到21世纪的压缩算法,这项工作涵盖了多种存储格式,研究了复杂机器、媒体格式和处理操作的缩减对运动图像传播的影响。
通过对媒体技术标准的考古学研究,作者为电影、模拟视频和数字编码视频提供了便携式存储格式的谱系。这本书是在解码存储媒体格式方面向前迈出的一步,到目前为止,存储媒体格式一直是高度专业技术人员的领域。
Portable Moving Images: A Media History of Storage Formats (EPUB)
This media history explores a series of portable small cameras, playback devices, and storage units that have made the production of film and video available to everyone. Covering several storage formats from 8mm films of the 1900s, through the analogue videotapes of the 1970s, to the compression algorithms of the 2000s, this work examines the effects that the shrinkage of complex machines, media formats, and processing operations has had on the dissemination of moving images.
Using an archaeological approach to technical standards of media, the author provides a genealogy of portable storage formats for film, analog video, and digitally encoded video. This book is a step forward in decoding the storage media formats, which up to now have been the domain of highly specialised technicians.
