Next Chapter 2 MeetingOur guest speaker will be Mr. Frank Grundstein of Logitek Electronic Systems. He is the Director of Sales for Logitek Electronic Systems. His varied career in broadcasting spans over 35 years. Since 1993 he has been in broadcast sales working for Harris, Radio Systems and, for the past 6 years, Logitek. Frank's engineering career has touched on most environments for Audio for Broadcast. He has been a Major Market Chief Engineer, a video/film production facility manager, Chief Tech of a recording studio and a computer animator. He has a Master's Degree in Communications Systems from NYU and currently holds SBE certifications as CBRE and CBNT.
Mr. Grundstein's presentation is titled IP Protocols for Audio and Video - A networking Update. IP Audio Networks have become the accepted method for new facility construction. Video over IP is gaining traction fast. For Audio, we have the universally adopted AES-67 transport standard; the AES-70 not so widely adopted control protocol, but still no discovery protocol. For Video, there are, at this moment, an alphabet soup of 7 industry groups proposing various solutions for Video over IP. Where do we stand and how do we know what to do if we are thinking about a facility renovation? We'll review the current state of IP for Audio and Video, see where the paths intersect and maybe find a Unified Field Theory for IP for broadcast.
