Educational Session

Networked A/V solutions are all around us, but the way media traverses a network as ethernet traffic can be mysterious at best. With straightforward examples and plain language, this course session aims to unravel the mystery, explaining design validation tools in the Network, Signal Processing, and Application domains. This course is for anyone in the field of pro A/V who wants to be more informed about putting media on a network and avoid the pitfalls and challenges.

During the course of this presentation, attendees will learn:

• The primary considerations when building, or upgrading to, a networked media solution, with a focus on video traffic
• Performance factor considerations when selecting an ethernet switch
• Precision Time Protocol versions 1 & 2 – the IEEE standards essential for media playback
