Designing Timing-Aware Networks for AV - White Paper

Most of today's home networking applications are primarily concerned with ensuring the integrity of delivered data, but devices and paths are typically not synchronized, so the timing of delivery can't be precisely predicted. However, applications for timing-aware networking are growing, and some network AV distribution systems already use a combination of standards-based protocols and proprietary technology to achieve synchronization. Meanwhile, standards are evolving to broadly transition networks to become inherently timing-aware and deterministic, namely with the IEEE's Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) standards. This white paper explores the basis, scope, and direction of synchronous and deterministic networks in the home, with insight to system design and implementation requirements that are key to achieving predictable and reliable performance.

Business Toolkit - Change Order Management

Change orders are a typical feature of project management. Changes inevitably lead to altered costs, and who pays for those costs — the integrator or the client — can be the difference between expenses blowing out or providing a profit opportunity. Additionally, how these changes are managed is important in maintaining rapport with the client. This white paper explores the crucial process of change order management, providing advice for sustained or even increased profitability.

Business Toolkit - Pricing Using Markup & Margin

This white paper discusses definitions, formulas, and advice on how to properly calculate prices to ensure an appropriate amount of profit. It also serves as a companion paper to others in the CEDIA Business Toolkit series, in particular the white paper titled "Creating a Breakeven Analysis."
