Welcome In the world of automation and integration there is constant innovation; but rarely is there such an opportunity, in fact catalyst, to drive fundamental change to our industry and our collective businesses.

It is an exciting time, embrace it, and then challenge your paradigm to work for you! CEDIA Expo is brimming over with Knowledge Based, Profit Focused education, delivered by international technology experts. We bring the world to you, so you can grow and profit.

Let me assure you, after 9 years of designing, estimating and installing, education is a must! We’ve spoilt you for choice in education and followed through on the Expo floor. With over twenty new exhibitors and the generous continued support of exhibitors you all know and love, you will be busy. Press interviews and discussions on Future Technology and Wot’s Hot @ Expo, presented daily by Rich Green and Len Wallis, in the Future Technologies Area located near the CEDIA stand are a chance to interact with the industry’s leading minds. With the plethora of people and opportunities to network, share thoughts, explore new ideas and create relationships with architects, builders, integrators and suppliers, you will go away inspired! Our thanks go to you, the members, affiliated visitors and international guests for providing the vibrancy of fresh ideas and great company to share them. We encourage you to leave the pressures of running a business behind and seize this day to develop yourself, your business and enjoy the richness of a new perspective.

How To Plan Your Training The following information will enable you to customise training for you and your staff, according to level of skill and area of expertise, and make best use of your time at the CEDIA Expo.
Course Levels Core Courses: Courses marked as Core Courses encompass the essential knowledge necessary in order to undertake CEDIA Certification. The courses relevant to each certification level are described in the individual certification curriculum. These courses make up the knowledge-base that CEDIA considers essential for an individual working within the residential custom integration market. 100 Level Courses: Courses marked as 100 level introduce concepts and discussions where there is no prior knowledge required about the subject being taught. These courses are not necessarily ‘easy’ but discuss a subject from first principles. They are knowledge-based and designed to teach fundamentals necessary to perform as a technician or designer. 200 Level Courses: Courses marked as 200 level discuss subjects to a more advanced level. They do not teach basic principles and are designed to build upon existing knowledge. 300 Level Courses: Courses marked as 300 level introduce advanced design concepts. They require that participants already have a good level of knowledge underpinning the subject being taught. These courses are not suitable as introductions to a subject area and are mostly targeted toward design. 400 Level Courses: Courses marked as 400 are advanced courses and are targeted at experienced candidates. Courses at this level teach the syntheses of existing and new knowledge that enable candidates to master a subject area.
Seminars These are education courses outside the CEDIA Education curriculum. They often allow the instructor to relate personal experiences, through ideas and options with students. CEDIA Education is not responsible for the content or its delivery in the seminar offerings; the instructors hold that responsibility. CEDIA Expo Show Guide 2011

Certification CEDIA Certification is recognised throughout the industry and increasingly by construction professionals, as the established mark of quality and expertise within the residential custom installation sector. CEDIA Certification brings the industry in line with other construction professionals by introducing recognised mandatory qualifications. It also gives prospective clients the confidence to appoint CEDIA Certified businesses and provides the installer with a competitive edge.
CEU Points For CEDIA Members, attending both CEDIA’s own courses and those presented by manufacturers, you can be rewarded with important CEU’s (Continuing Education Units) to help maintain this valued accreditation. Many CEDIA courses at this year’s Expo have a CEU allocation attached to them. This is to help certified individuals meet the requirement of gaining 30 CEU points within the three-year period following gaining their certified status. Please note that CEU points are only valid once certification has been gained.

THX Video Calibration 1 Professional Workshop
NEW
Video is a communication system. As such there must be rules defining how the system is to work. The rules are necessary in order for communication to take place. By way of illustration, if program content is in a language not understood by the viewer then not a lot of information can be conveyed. Similar losses occur in the technical performance of the equipment within the communication system. If the receiver doesn’t understand the transmitter then something is lost along the way. The video communication system is becoming so diverse in options for receiving and processing source materials that often, valuable parts of the content are lost. Often times equipment manufacturers will provide options that are correct but don’t tell you what they are or how to access them. The best way to find these options is to do a proof of performance on the individual piece of equipment. Knowing what might be wrong should make it easier to find the solution. This course will show installers how to check out their equipment before integrating it into a video system.
