| | FREE Webcast | AVB Demystified: What do you know for sure?
September 25, 2013 at 2 p.m. Eastern/11 a.m. Pacific Time
Whatever you already know about AVB, chances are you still have questions about how it works, its viability, and its compatibility with the products you specify and install. When the topic comes up, do you avoid it rather than wade into the murky waters of networking protocols? This Webcast, presented by AVB expert and InfoComm instructor Dave Thies, will bring you up to date, so you can evaluate AVB for yourself and discuss networking more constructively with your clients and manufacturers/partners.
This Webcast will bring your basic knowledge of AVB up to date, explore the technology more deeply, clear up assumptions about networking that are based on older protocols, address perceived networking limitations and when networking works for Pro A/V, discuss key specifics of the AVB protocol, clarify the AVB relationship with commercially-branded network technologies, and take questions from attendees.

Scoring Videogame Music at Ocean Way Nashville
The first thing anybody in recording talks about when they talk about Nashville is the players. The pickers, the A-list session players, the speed and brilliance.
