In this newsletter, my objective is to focus on security of AV devices. However, I’m going to use an indirect approach to this topic. First, I’ll discuss an internet...
To avoid problems when installing an AV device into an IP network, it is prudent to carefully consider the procedure the device uses when it connects to that network....
Buffers in the network are critical for the delivery of audio and video. We often don’t think about the role they play. If they are properly sized and managed,...
In this newsletter, we will consider three modes of transmitting packets in IP networks: unicasting, multicasting and broadcasting. Most messages are unicast. That is, a single sender sends a...
Customers who are implementing IP video systems often ponder the role wireless might play. It seems to offer some significant advantages. Two of the most promising are mobility and...
Network errors can occur at many levels during transmission of data and files. They can happen at the physical level due to interference, reflections, defective transmitters, faulty receivers, or...
As the audio-video industry rushes to embrace IP, a secondary movement developed to change cabling from traditional coax, twinax, and proprietary cables to “category” cables. Most notably the favorite...
