Digital Intermediates for Film and Video, by Jack James, is the first comprehensive book on the cutting-edge technology of the Digital Intermediate process. The technology of broadcast quality DI gained recognition with the premier of HBO's Band of Brothers, and since then, there's been a move towards the Digital Intermediate process within the film industry. This book explains the fundamental concepts of the Digital Intermediate process and the repercussions DI will have on various professions within the industry.
