Bridging the Broadcast/IT Gap

Bridging the Gap, a two-day, highly interactive seminar, allows engineers and technicians from a wide variety of backgrounds to gain a mutual understanding of the complex relationships that exist between media and information processing technologies. The course was designed to address the knowledge gap that exists in many modern broadcast facilities between technologists that have a deep base of experience with the traditional world of video broadcast and those who have specialized knowledge of data processing and computer networking.

During each class, a model broadcast facility will be designed in phases to help show students a state-of-the-art approach to implementing a broadcast facility using concepts taught in the class.

Who Should Take This Course:

• Engineers who want a deeper understanding of current and emerging technologies being used within broadcast facilities;
• Technicians who want to broaden their base of experience to become more versatile.

Benefits of Taking This Course:

• Improved grasp of both video and data networking technologies for all students;
• Greater rapport and simplified communications between different departments within a broadcast facility;
• Improved ability to identify likely sources of trouble and increased speed of problem resolution;
• Continuing Education Units (CEUs) will be available to students (for an additional fee) who successfully complete the course.
