Product Description
Product Description
Position yourself at the forefront of audio and broadcast studio technology by learning audio over IP. You will gain knowledge of IP network engineering as it applies to audio applications, and then progress to a full understanding of how equipment built on Ethernet and Internet Protocol are used in today's audio production and broadcast facilities for the transporting, mixing and processing of pro-quality audio. A chapter on integrating Voice-over IP telephony (VoIP) to pro-audio and broadcast facilities is also included.
Using the popular Livewire technology, you will learn how to design, construct, configure and troubleshoot an AoIP system, including how to interface with PCs, VoIP telephone PBXs, IP codecs, and the Internet. See how AoIP systems work in practice, and discover their distinct advantages over older audio infrastructures. With its complete introduction to AoIP technology in a fun, highly readable style, this book is essential for audio professionals who want to broaden their knowledge of IP-based studio systems--or for IT experts who need to understand AoIP applications.
* Introduces IP/Ethernet network engineering with a tight focus on audio applications * Real-world, "how-to" application examples show you how to apply AoIP to your specific situation * Co-authored by world-renowned audio/broadcast technology and AoIP experts

"Audio Over IP" Excellent Reference!, 30 Dec 2010
By Cher Skoubo - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Audio Over IP: Building Pro AoIP Systems with Livewire: A Practical Guide to Building Studios with IP, including VoIP and Livewire (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
