Control Freak (2nd edition published 2010) is a book by Artistic Licence's
Wayne Howell.
DMX512 has been with the lighting industry for many years. The advent of
DMX512-A and Remote Device Management offer users much greater
flexibility but also adds complexity. Control Freak provides an in depth but real
world reference to DMX512 and RDM. It will be equally valid for end users,
specifiers and designers.

Rock Solid Ethernet is a book by Artistic Licence's Wayne Howell. The book is
now in its 3rd edition, published 2013.
Ethernet technology is becoming commonplace in entertainment technology.
This means that end users, specifiers, designers and engineers need to know
the rules: What can you do? What can’t you do? And what can you get away
with?
Rock Solid Ethernet is split into three sections, discussing the technology from
the perspective of End Users & Specifiers, System Installers and
Manufacturers & Designers. Subjects covered range from making an RJ45
cable through network topology to the use of radio links. The book is laid out in
a style that allows the reader to quickly find the answer to their question.
The author comments:
Over the past few years I have looked for a concise reference on the subject
of Ethernet. Somewhat to my surprise I was unable to find what I wanted!
There are many good books, but none that covered all of the topics that are
needed in entertainment technology. I recall commenting on this to publisher
John Offord. His reply: So write one!
