“The book is easy to read at different levels – from entry level to expert level. Of particular benefit are the checklist updates at the end of each chapter…IP is now a fashionable subject and there are plenty of interesting books on this subject. 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. As IP is penetrating all areas of broadcast technologies, this book represents an excellent starting point for all of them.” – EBU Techincal Review
