Course Description
Learn to size, specify, and defend an AV over IP design: bandwidth estimates, codec choices, VLAN strategy, PoE budget, and the questions IT will ask you.
Who it’s for. AV designers, integrators, and technology managers who already understand AV signals and now need to put them on a network.
Learning outcomes.
Estimate video and audio bandwidth from resolution, frame rate, bit depth, and chroma subsampling, including blanking and TMDS overhead
Select codecs and 1G or 10G network hardware by balancing image quality, latency, and cost against the application
Calculate a PoE budget from device power draw and specify a switch with adequate ports and headroom
Define a VLAN and subnet strategy, plan IP addressing, and verify switch requirements such as IGMP snooping and non-blocking ports
Read AVoIP product spec sheets and pull out the details IT needs to evaluate the system
Prepare for the first IT meeting with bandwidth estimates, topology descriptions, and security requirements
Topics covered.
Manage IP Video Bandwidth and Estimating Video Bandwidth
Compression through CODECs and Chroma Subsampling
Segmenting Networks with VLANs and Subnets, IP Address Planning, QoS
Power Budgeting for Power over Ethernet
