Show Networks and Control Systems- The Book
projectionfreak.com: RTFM.
That acronym conjures up many a late night. There’s usually a point in everyone’s career when it comes up. Maybe it’s after a hellish night patching and re-patching around a piece of gear, maybe it’s after discovering that shiny-new rack has a lot of hidden surprises. But it’ll come up one way or another. I read manuals for fun. I love reading manuals. If they’re well written- so much the better. In the case of putting together all the stuff that makes our industry work, there really isn’t a manual. Use Google all you want, but there aren’t really any definitive writs that piece it all together.

Just as the author says, most questions can be answered if you just RTFM! I feel that going to the manual for a piece of gear almost always gets the best and most detailed explanation for any potential question or confusion. So many oversights, misinformed decisions, and general misunderstandings could be avoided if everybody sat down and really understood all that their equipment can and can't do.
Getting a whole book, "Show Networks and Control Systems", dedicated to demystifying confusing topics is just icing on the cake. Cheers to enlightening befuddled technicians everywhere!
