Excellent reference book on audio and video over IP networks. It covers essential topics such as AVB (audio video bridging), HDBaseT, Thunderbolt, and provides clear explanations of digital rights management and EDID with useful illustrations. A must have for anyone involved with AV and IT networks. I highly recommend it!

Remember: There is no single publication or class that will prepare you for the exam, nor are you obligated to take AVIXA courses.

Note: avixa.org is the only source for official materials. If you see AVIXA education or CTS® certification practice exams on a website other than avixa.org, they could be fraudulent.
