What’s in it

01 Lessons Interactive lessons that start at IP addressing and subnet masks and run through Dante, NDI and SMPTE 2110. Written to be worked through in short sittings.
02 Save the Show Timed pressure scenarios drawn from real failures. You get the symptom and the clock, and you have to find it before the show goes down.
03 Field tools Subnet calculator, IP analyzer, binary converter, bandwidth estimator, multicast planner, VLAN mapper. All of it works offline.
04 Reference cards Protocol specs, port numbers, QoS markings and multicast ranges, searchable, for when you need the number and not the lesson.
05 Troubleshooting Diagnostic scenarios that branch. A wrong turn costs you, the same way it does on site.
06 Daily drills Short repeat practice with streaks and ranks, for keeping the fundamentals sharp between shows.
07 Packet viewer Frame structure laid out field by field, so the protocols stop being acronyms.
08 Offline No cell signal, no wifi, no problem. Written for basements, trucks and convention floors.
