Requirements
Are you ready to bridge the gap between AV and IT? This comprehensive course is designed for IT professionals, AV technicians, and anyone looking to master integrating audio-visual systems with modern network infrastructures.
You’ll start by exploring device communication fundamentals, including the roles of Hot Plug Detect (HPD) and Extended Display Identification Data (EDID), and learn to troubleshoot common EDID and HDCP issues. We’ll compare HDCP versions 1.x, 2.2, and 2.2 Pro, highlighting their features and restrictions.
Next, dive into compression and codecs, understanding the differences between lossless and lossy techniques, and how popular codecs like H.264 and H.265 impact file size, quality, and bandwidth.
We’ll also cover USB evolution from 1.0 to 4.2, connector types, transfer modes, and practical troubleshooting using USB Device Tree Viewer.
Moving into networking, you’ll learn the advantages of AVoIP over point-to-point setups, explore the AVoIP Triangle, and compare compression, bandwidth, and latency across JPEG, SDVoE, and H.264. Gain a solid foundation in LAN/WAN communication, encapsulation, frames, and multicast operations with IGMP, MLD, and PIM.
By the end of this course, you’ll have the skills to design, configure, and optimize AV-over-IP systems for seamless streaming and efficient network performance.
