The purpose of this course is to provide a foundation for understanding IP (Internet Protocol). It is appropriate for both beginners and individuals looking to formalise and increase their IP networking knowledge. With the vast majority of subsystems now having the ability to be converged over an IP network, this is arguably the most important topic to make sure that you have a solid foundation in.

The crowded WiFi spectrum is busy! It’s essential that AV engineers understand wireless technology to ensure fast and reliable service to their customers. This one-day course starts by going ‘back to basics’. It will explore RF terms of data speed, frequency and coverage.

It will also examine the configuration of wireless access points in both single and multiple cell configurations.

Topics covered include:

Finally wireless survey tools will demonstrated to establish likely conflicts and sources of interference. This course assumes a fundamental knowledge of IP networks.

- Understanding the 7 layer OSI Model and how it relates to networking (essential learning) - Applying the OSI model to residential network structure and setup - Recognising and understanding basic network hardware - IP Addressing - using the right addresses for the right job - Basic network troubleshooting By the end of this course, participants should be able to: explain common network protocols such as TCP, UDP, IP, DHCP, DNS, and NAT, understand the functions of a consumer router in a wired environment and begin basic troubleshooting in a consumer level IP network.

Typical subjects covered include: - Understanding Wireless as a physical media - Radio Frequency transmission as part of the Electromagnetic spectrum - Controlling and maximising wireless coverage using different Antenna types - Protecting wireless networks with wireless security - Expanding wireless networks with additional access points - Controlling wireless networks with management systems

The technical design of a high performance Home Cinema is not a subjective decision.

For every parameter, there is a standard that should be observed in order to offer a truly immersive entertainment experience. This course will examine those standards and give you an insight into the importance of designing cinemas using standards based engineering calculations rather than subjective guesswork.

The morning will be classroom based where the instructor will introduce the standards and the engineering skills necessary to apply them.

By the end of this course, delegates will understand how applying engineering standards to cinema design ensures a high standard of repeatable performance.

FREE to CEDIA Members only
