By
Steve Church, Steve Church is the President of Telos Systems. As co-inventor of Livewire, he is a pioneer in IP Audio technology. He designed the first
DSP-based product for radio broadcast applications, was the first to design a product using MP3 & played a key role in popularizing
the codec for PC & Internet music applications.
Skip Pizzi, Skip Pizzi is Contributing Editor at Radio World magazine, writing "The Big Picture" column, appearing in every issue. He has also spent
11 years in with Microsoft, most recently as Senior Policy Analyst for the company's Entertainment & Devices Division. Skip is a
frequent speaker at international conferences on broadcasting, audio and music.
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.
Audience
Radio station and group engineers, operations managers; broadcast studio designers and systems integrators; recording studio and remote
audio engineers; sound-reinforcement system designers, engineers and operators (for both permanent installations and touring systems).
Secondary audience:
IT Managers at radio broadcasting and audio production facilities; Radio Station and Group General Managers and
VPs of Engineering. Theatre and Worship-space sound system designers, engineers and technicians.
