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.Individuals who apply these skills 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 relevant personnel and with reference to production documentation
  • 1.2 Investigate available system resources and determine capabilities
  • 1.3 Draw accurate system flow charts with all components in correct order
  • 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 needs and safety procedures
  • 2.2 Complete interface with analogue audio as required
  • 2.3 Test network topography and resources to ensure correct functioning
  • 2.4 Commission analogue audio components appropriately
  • 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
  • 3.3 Identify problems with network, then take appropriate action or report to relevant colleagues as required
  • 3.4 In consultation with relevant personnel, evaluate effectiveness of audio network operations and note areas for future improvement
