Book Reviews of Video Over IP: A Practical Guide to Technology and Applications (Focal Press Media Technology Professional Series)
Book Review: Successfully tried to cover a broad concept
Summary: 4 Stars
Tried to covered a broad concept and has done it well. He is more a video expert than an IP expert but given the breadth of the concept he is trying to cover, I must say, he has done a great job. I would have given him 5 starts if he had not use the term "signal" in the IP and RTP discussions.
