Network Discussion by Cindy & Cynthia: Addressing Challenges in Connected Audiovisual Systems

In a recent expanded conversation, industry experts Cindy Davis and Cynthia Wisehart, along with an unnamed third party, discussed various pain points and solutions related to networked Audio-Visual (AV) systems. The discussion was initiated by both Davis and Wisehart, who invited their respective audiences to share their questions and concerns about networked AV.

The conversation covered a range of topics, including the security of dedicated AV networks, network considerations for high-resolution content, and making a dedicated AV network transparent for management on Cisco networks. One question that arose was whether networked AV should be on a dedicated network or the enterprise network.

When it comes to security, NETGEAR, a leading provider of AV solutions, implements several measures to protect networks with dedicated AV infrastructure in operation. These measures include network segmentation using Virtual Local Area Networks (VLANs), secure management interfaces with strong authentication, firmware encryption, automated security updates, and intrusion detection.

Another question that was addressed was whether multicast can work on an enterprise network. While the discussion did not delve into the technical details, it was suggested that multicast can indeed work on an enterprise network, but proper planning and configuration are crucial to ensure optimal performance.

For those interested in learning more about these topics, a video of the expanded conversation is available for viewing. AV/IT end-users and ProAV integrators are encouraged to send their questions to Cindy Davis at [email protected] and Cynthia Wisehart at [email protected], respectively. The conversation between Davis, Wisehart, and Pendleton is ongoing, so stay tuned for more insights and discussions.
