AV-over-IP & Network Design

Designing the network somebody else will build from

A design is a set of decisions somebody else can build from. That is the whole of it, and it is why this book exists separately from the one before it. AV Networking Intermediate teaches you to configure the switch in front of you. This book is about the decisions made weeks earlier: how many switches, of what speed, in what shape, carrying how many streams, with which addresses, and what happens when one of them dies.

Inside: What AV-over-IP Actually Is - The Standards and What They Cost - Bandwidth Planning at Scale - Designing from the Brief - Topology, The Shape of the Design - The Addressing and Multicast Plan - Routed Multicast - Segmentation and Priority by Design - Clock Across a Designed Network - Redundancy and What It Protects - Commissioning and Working with IT - The Design Package - Putting AV Network Design Together - Where to Go Next.
