"Audio Over IP" Excellent Reference!
30 Dec 2010
Format:Paperback
Audio over IP (AoIP) increases audio broadcast options, flexibility and quality while saving on costs. It is a technology well worth researching and implementing. Steve Church and Skip Pizzi share their combined expertise in this useful reference book.
"Audio Over IP" presents information clearly. I found it easy to read for an overview or to drill down into detailed information. Well organized photos, diagrams and screen images showcase the equipment and illustrate the process. Tables comparing formats and codecs make it easier to select the best solution. I particularly like the chapters Troubleshooting and FAQs.
This book is for you, if:
* You are an engineer, IT professional or broadcaster implementing audio over IP
* You are interested in increasing audio broadcast flexibility
* You are interested in reducing audio broadcast equipment costs
* You are researching new technologies
* You are an educator in the field of audio or broadcasting
* You are implementing the "Livewire" AoIP format
* You want to learn how to design and configure an AoIP system
* You are looking for an office reference for audio over IP
