A primary-source glossary maintained by Craft Wall — 22 terms covering AV-over-IP standards, video wall architecture, and control-room operations. Used in production at https://craftwall.pro/en/glossary/.
Each term has a dedicated file under terms/ with a definition, the standards body or originating company, related terms, and a primary-source reference where applicable. Definitions are intentionally short and operational — what a control-room engineer or procurement reviewer needs in 30 seconds, not a survey paper.
