Practical Media Delivery over IP<br />

Technologies<br />

Gordon Van Zuiden<br />

Broadband Internet access is now the 4th<br />

utility, as important to the homeowner as<br />

gas, electricity, and water. High-speed<br />

network services <strong>of</strong>fer a staggering array <strong>of</strong><br />

entertainment content which, thanks to<br />

ever-increasing network speeds and new<br />

licensing models, customers can now enjoy<br />

right across their home and beyond.In this<br />

course we will explore and discuss how<br />

modern higher bandwidth networks can<br />

deliver audio and video to network ready TVs<br />

and networked audio systems. We will review<br />

the initial introduction <strong>of</strong> distributed IP<br />

audio/video content in the home about a<br />

decade ago, how it has evolved over the last<br />

10 years, and what these services could look<br />

like in the future. Most importantly we will<br />

discuss how pr<strong>of</strong>essional installers can add<br />

value to these systems with pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

design, installation and control and finally<br />

look at Apple and Android IP based home<br />

automation applications (lighting control,<br />

cameras, security, thermostats, pools/hot<br />

tubs, etc.). By the end <strong>of</strong> this course attendees<br />

will gain an understanding <strong>of</strong> the design,<br />

infrastructure, and control solutions needed<br />

to maximize the benefit and enjoyment <strong>of</strong><br />

todays distributed residential IP audio/ video<br />

solutions.<br />
