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 />
