Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to set-up a basic data network as it relates to remote control and distribution for DSP audio. No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine network requirements
- 1.1. Liaise with relevant stakeholders to establish system requirements
- 1.2. Investigate available system resources and ascertain capabilities
- 1.3. Draw an accurate system flow chart with all components in correct order
- 1.4. Correctly allocate audio stage boxes where analogue audio is required
- 1.5. Determine audio schedules with allowance for preset system configurations and dynamic system changes in accordance with needs
2. Set-up control network
- 2.1. Assemble relevant hardware components in accordance with system needs
- 2.2. Assemble network topography in accordance with system needs
- 2.3. Complete the interface with analogue audio as required
3. Test and commission network
- 3.1. Test the network topography and resources to ensure correct functioning
- 3.2. Commission analogue audio components appropriately
- 3.3. Correctly activate and implement all DSP system presets
4. Monitor network
- 4.1. Crosscheck performance of amplifiers and loudspeakers in accordance with DSP system assignments
- 4.2. Identify any problems with network, take appropriate action or report to relevant colleagues

EVIDENCE GUIDE
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package.
Overview of assessment
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit
The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit:
understanding of data interfacing and protocols
ability to configure audio networks to meet specific requirements.
Context of and specific resources for assessment
The assessment context must provide for:
practical demonstration of skills through the implementation of an audio network for more than one production
involvement of, and interaction with, a production team to reflect the collaborative nature of the unit
use industry-current equipment.
Method of assessment
Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include:
evaluation of a network set-up by the candidate
case studies to assess ability to create networks for different requirements
oral or written questioning to assess knowledge of data protocols and interfacing
review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate.
Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling).
Guidance information for assessment
Assessment of this unit requires access to:
industry-current audio networking devices
venue in which audio can be networked.
