RF distribution offers a wide range of signal distribution possibilities covering radio and TV in both analogue and digital formats. Modern digital TV services mean a single coax cable can offer more than 100 channels of entertainment including HD broadcasts. Many homes already have some coax installed and this course explains, in detail, how coax can be used to move signals around the home, how signals from various sources can be combined and distributed around the home, and how installers can ensure robust performance from a coax network. In addition, the course covers a number of key technologies involved in whole-house system integration through combined control. This subject opens with IR control and moves on to RS232 and IP. The course concludes with exercises in IR learning, combining handsets into ‘Universal’ remotes and writing robust and efficient chained commands or ‘macros’.

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. The afternoon will be spent working in small groups applying the knowledge gained in the morning. During the afternoon workshop, a number of additional subject matter experts will be on hand to spend time with individual groups to help with the design. By the end of this course, delegates will understand how applying engineering standards to cinema design ensures a high standard of repeatable performance.
