Audio Video Term

TCP/IP

TCP/IP is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

TCP/IP is the core communication protocol suite used by most modern networks and internet-connected systems.

Example of TCP/IP

A theater upgrade may require HDMI 2.1 features, eARC audio return, HDCP compatibility, adequate bandwidth, and correct network settings for streaming and control. In that kind of Davis technical compatibility review, the term TCP/IP would describe the core communication protocol suite used by most modern networks and internet-connected systems. Davis would use that understanding to account for device compatibility, cable bandwidth, firmware settings, signal path, and control or network requirements, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
