Video Technology (5 ECTS)

Objective

Students know the equipment of audiovisual systems used in live performance engineering. They know the properties, potential uses, operational principles and special requirements of the relevant devices. Students can apply the knowledge base of the profession to simple audiovisual systems. They are able to accurately interpret audiovisual system documentation. Students understand the basic planning principles of the video systems. They understand performance technology as a part of live performance production and understand the job requirements in the field. Students are aware of the inherent safety risks and can take them into account while using the systems.
