Berkeley, CA, August 28, 1995--The growth of multimedia has created an
emerging technology full of dynamic possibilities--networked multimedia
applications. Because great multimedia presentations can only have impact
if they reach their intended audience effectively, the LAN Times Guide to
Multimedia Networking, the only thoroughly written handbook on the
subject, helps systems administrators and anyone who works with multimedia
technology build, maintain, and maximize the potential of networks that
use multimedia.

The authors, a team of networking pros, discuss the basic concepts and
advanced issues involved in the sometimes daunting task of creating
multimedia presentations and distributing them over internal or public
networks. Step-by-step, they cover file formats, compression techniques,
and transmission over the Internet, ISDN, LANs, and X.400. Storage issues,
interoperability, ATM, and security are addressed for the network manager,
as well as current and future trends, hardware, software, and cabling.

Sensibly organized, the book guides readers through the decisions and
processes involved in:

* Creating a multimedia presentation, including multimedia and
  networking essentials
* Distributing multimedia over networks, including traditional data
  communication networks
* Exchanging multimedia files
* Managing multimedia networks, including legal and security issues
* Preparing for future trends

Invaluable for the literally millions of professionals in businesses and
institutions who need solid advice on making multimedia accessible, the
LAN Times Guide to Multimedia Networking allows users to get their
multimedia networking act together and take it on the road--the online
information superhighway, that is--easily and effectively.

The LAN Times Guide to Multimedia Networking is soft cover, 400 pages.
