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.

14:30 – 16:30 Basic Audio Systems for Installers: Discover how to configure multi-channel audio systems by applying basic acoustic theory and recognised standards to room set-up and equipment placement. This two hour session will be delivered by Dr. Harshal Ninawe, A.V. Solutions in both Hindi and English language.

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.

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.

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.

This one-day course is designed to give students a solid understanding of lighting control fundamentals.

Lighting control installation can be a profitable area for residential integrators. However, systems should be designed, installed and documented correctly for long-term reliability.

Lighting technology has advanced a great deal in recent years. It is now a highly complex field.

This course starts by exploring lamp types, their characteristics and capabilities. A strong emphasis is placed upon the science behind the ‘art’ of lighting. Other subjects covered include colour temperature, power law, series vs. parallel wiring, voltage drop and cabling sizing.

WiFi connectivity is a key communication method for much of the personal technology we use today. The increasingly crowded WiFi spectrum is busy delivering media, email, VoIP and other services to home owners and their neighbours! With this in mind it’s essential that AV engineers fully understand wireless technology to ensure fast and reliable service to their customers.

This one day course goes back to basics to understand the fundamental technology behind wireless and RF (Radio Frequency) transmission as a physical layer in the OSI model. The course compares wireless to other physical layer types and explores the behaviours of RF considering data speed, frequency and coverage.

Students will also learn about wireless security, making sure customer networks are protected and how to expand a wireless network to cover larger areas.
