IABM to host two-day engineering course at Broadcast Asia 2013
Published: ASIA
SINGAPORE: The IABM (International Association of Broadcasting Manufacturers) will hold a two-day course named ‘Audio and Video Fundamentals for Engineers,’ during Broadcast Asia 2013. Scheduled for June 17-18th at The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore and led by trainer Joe Tozer, the course will address the specific technologies and applications involved in the generation, movement and monitoring of audio and video signals and files in a broadcast and media technology environment.
Offered by the IABM in conjunction with Singapore-based publisher Spinworkz Pte Ltd, the course will offer newly recruited engineers and technologists the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the technical requirements within broadcasting environments. In particular, it is tailored to those who are involved on the supply side in product or project design and development, and to those that work in support and maintenance at broadcast facilities and other media enterprises.
Completion of the course acts as preparation for the associated examination, which is one of the steps leading to the award of the Certified Broadcast and Media Technology Professional Qualification (CertBMTprof). Participants in the IABM course should have successfully completed a recognised first degree-level course of study (or equivalent) in electronics, computer systems or software engineering.
For more than a decade, Mr Tozer has been an independent trainer and consultant specialising in audio, video, and IP transmission and delivery systems. He holds patents for digital audio processing systems and for advanced fast-access teletext, and has worked in engineering and training roles at leading broadcast facilities and solutions vendors. Mr Tozer has also written extensively on digital broadcast technologies, and he is both the author and editor in chief of the Broadcast Engineers' Reference Book. He is a full member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET).
Space in the training course is limited and early registration is encouraged. Further information on course modules and registration is available at http://www.pixelatwork.com/uploads/7d/15/7d15e1ed0bf14b2c92d8f1648cae6d08/ave/index.html.
