Networked Audio: NA02 - Who Owns the Audio Network, AV or IT?
Presenter:Patrick Kilianey, Yamaha - Professional Audio Division - Buena Park, CA, USA
How would you feel if IT decided to mix your next show? Nervous? Well then, don’t be surprised if IT is uneasy when we add computer network equipment in their facility. This session will cover some ideas on how to work with IT, whether your network is intended to connect to theirs or not. We’ll offer insights to common IT concerns and how to address them with infrastructure design and network topology. Real-world examples will be given. We will also discuss differences in expectations between typical IT departments and AV personnel—addressing these early can prevent costly change orders and rework later.
