Description

This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to record and replay material for television transmission in line with television technical standards and production requirements. It applies to individuals who maintain the technical quality of vision and audio signals that go to air. Even though they may work directly under a supervisor, they frequently carry a high level of responsibility for their own activities and can be responsible for supervising others. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
