Designing IP Networks
Welcome to Designing IP Networks course! An added feature of this course enables you to select Closed Captions in the video lectures. The languages available for CC include English, Español, Français, Deutsch, Japanese, and Português.
The network is the backbone of the entire IP media supply chain, from content creation to end-user distribution. This course guides participants through the process of planning, designing, building, and maintaining a robust IP-based media production and distribution network. With a focus on live production environments, whether in studios, entertainment venues, sports arenas, or remote locations, participants will explore the technologies and interconnection of multiple networks needed to support high performance, real-time media workflows.
Participants will develop a solid understanding of critical standards, protocols, network topology, middleware, applications, cybersecurity, and cloud-based models. The shift to IP infrastructure introduces unique challenges, such as increased vulnerability to cyber threats and the transition from on-premise hardware to cloud-based services. This course will address these challenges and examine their impact on facility design and operations.
