Description
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a basic data network for remote control and distribution of digital system processing (DSP) audio in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries.The unit applies to those who work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for setting up and monitoring audio system control networks, such as remote control systems for amplifiers and proprietary DSP control systems where functions can be assigned remotely.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Notes
Elements and Performance Criteria
1. Determine audio network requirements
  • 1.1 Establish system requirements in consultation with required personnel and with reference to production documentation

  • 1.3 Draw system flow charts according to requirements
  • 1.4 Allocate audio stage boxes where analogue audio is required
  • 1.5 Determine audio schedules and allow for pre-set system configurations and dynamic system changes
  • 1.6 Discuss and finalise plans for audio system control networks that meet production requirements and timelines
2. Test and commission network
  • 2.1 Assemble hardware components and network topography according to system requirements and safety procedures
  • 2.2 Complete interface with analogue audio as required
  • 2.3 Test network topography and resources to confirm functionality meets requirements
  • 2.4 Commission analogue audio components according to requirements
  • 2.5 Activate and implement all DSP system pre-sets
3. Monitor network
  • 3.1 Crosscheck performance of amplifiers and loudspeakers according to DSP system assignments
  • 3.2 Apply knowledge of data interfacing and protocols to work activities
