Networked Audio: N5 - Understanding Audio Capabilities and Bandwidth in Mixed Use Networks
Presenter:Brad Price, Audinate - Portland, OR, USA
Abstract:
The IT convergence is upon us, but many in AV are unfamiliar with the details of audio networking from the perspective of an IT manager. This presentation seeks to dispel some commonly held misconceptions about audio bandwidth requirements and the capabilities of modern switched networks when using real-time audio protocols.
1. What network engineers really care about, and how this helps AV installers.
2. How big is that? Multichannel audio transport as compared with common network capacities.
3. Unicast and Multicast: where understanding matters in network design and use.
