As our industry continues to move into IT centric AV solutions, this book outlines the salient features of the "tapeless" workflow model. In fact, tapeless is not the best way to describe our new world. File-based workflows is a better choice since tape is often used for data archive.

The book has 12 chapters covering the basics of AV+IT file-based systems, storage, networking, reliability/scalability, security, systems integration and a summary chapter on the basics of pure AV technology and more. All chapters are written with AV+IT convergence as a focus.

It has received many 5 star Amazon reviews. If you work building or maintaining video systems then this book would be the ideal reference for you.

It's impossible to overstate the impact of Harry Potter on the past ten years of world bookselling. As a bookseller in the mid-80s, I never imagined numbers like this could even be possible: 8.3 million copies of "Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows" in the first 24 hours of US sales, with another 2.7 million in the UK. In the first hour, my former peeps at Barnes & Noble alone sold 156 copies per second!

So, I was working on cleaning up my place the other day, and I was noticing yet again that I really need more room for all of my books, when I suddenly realized that wasn't what I actually need. What we need is a book that works like a hard drive.
