Product Description

Review

'..much-needed introduction to the breadth and depth of streaming media.' Gavin Starks, CEO Tornado Productions, Director and Deputy Chairman of the European Internaitonal Webcasting Association.

Product Description

For broadcasters, web developers, and project managers implementing streaming media systems, David Austerberry shows how to deploy the technology on your site, from video and audio capture through to the consumer's media player. The book first deals with Internet basics and gives a thorough coverage of telecommunications networks and the last mile to the home. Video and audio formats are covered, as well as compression standards including MPEG-4 and the leading proprietary architectures. The book then guides you through the streaming process showing in-depth how to encode audio and video. The deployment of media servers, live webcasting and how a stream is displayed on the consumer's media player are also covered. A third section on associated technologies illustrates how you can protect your revenue sources with digital rights management systems; looks at various forms of content delivery; offers guidance on how to monetize your content with ad insertion, and provides examples of successful streaming applications. The supporting website offers updated links to sources of information, manufacturers and suppliers. David Austerberry is a freelance writer and consultant on webcasting technologies. He has presented papers on interactive television and digital asset management. He has worked in product marketing for many of the top broadcast equipment manufacturers. You can learn the end-to-end process, starting with capture from a video or audio source through to the consumer's media player. It is a quick-start guide to streaming media technologies and explains how to monetize content and protect revenue with digital rights management systems.

Good overview, no details 19 Aug 2005
By Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The book gives a good overview about the topic. It is easy to read and allows even readers with no or little computer background to understand the basic principles. On the other hand the text is not suited for people with a sound streaming media background. It stays on the top level and does not help very much if you want to implement something by yourselves.
misrepresentation 8 Feb 2011
By KS - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
It does not present what the buyer expects. It is more a video transmission history. I have the equipment. I was looking for a guide to streaming.
Excellent book for general knowledge 20 Feb 2009
By Yong Zhi - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Software developers usually focus on their very special area, this book however, gives you an idea how everything works together.

That being said, a lot of the contents in the book can be skipped if you are already familar with color space, web, encoder/decoder etc. But even with the very basic stuff, David some time prodived insights one never thought of.
