Review

"I find this book among the better ones, for its systematic approach and clarity of the text...The "Video over IP" book is highly recommended for all practising broadcast engineers."- EBU Techincal Review

?...here is a guide that gives you everything you need to know to find the best solution for your application.? ? SCTE, Dec. 2005

"Film and videomakers, networking professionals and corporate executives looking to take advantage of Web-based teleconferencing will all benefit from this revised edition of Simpson's tome, which brings his previous work up to date for an age of increased broadband usage and digital filmmaking tools and distribution. The seemingly endless variety of approaches and compression formats makes transferring video over a network seem nearly unfathomable at first, but Video Over IP is a comprehensive guide that makes video transport understandable without ignoring its complexity."- Jim Hemphill, American Cinematographer Magazine

4.0 out of 5 stars Broad Coverage / Introduction July 8 2009
By Franco Arda - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A well written book and great introduction into digital/audio broadcast incl. Video Conference and compression techniques (incl. H.264). Level: beginner / intermediate. The writing styled is clear and non-technical readers should understand it quickly.

But what's being technical? Some would argue that understanding the different levels of H.264 is technical (not covered in detail). Or understanding 'calculating network bandwidth' (covered on 2 pages). It's certainly not a book for techies in the field. I would consider a hard-core technical book like 'Peer-to-Peer Video Streaming'.

The only topic that to me was not properly covered is P2P. It was expecting more on this especially since P2P is mentioned on the subtitle. But that's a small detail of an otherwise great book.

By A. Nagarajan - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If someone wants to get a good introduction of the Video Over IP,
this is the book. It does not overwhelm the readers with
details and at the end of reading this book, a reader
gets a high level understanding of various aspects.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy reading, no beef April 28 2009
By Moore Paul Patrick - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is very well written book. For an beginner in the digital video/audio broadcast field like me, the book provides a good overview of the various video and audio standards as used by broadcasters and telecomms and internet service providers. The writing style used is very clear and the diagrams used also support the text.

The downside of the book is that it is not detailed enough me (my background is in computers/telecomms). For example, RTP, the protocol used at the hard of digital media streaming, merits only three pages. I have the impression that the book's audience is too broad - the book attempts to address users, broadcasters, and telecomms engineers. There is no detailed explanation of how the networking protocols work. The video/audio protocols are explained in some detail, but in the case of the network protocol already mentioned, RTP, no details are given, and no reference for further study is given.

In summary, the book is good as an easy introductory read, computer professionals especially will be want to look elswewhere.
