3 WELCOME TO THE LATEST IABM TRAINING AND QUALIFICATIONS PROSPECTUS IABM Traiig Academy is uiquely placed i offerig traiig built by the idustry ad for the idustry while ot beig tied to ay vedor, maufacturer, commuicatios service provider or broadcaster. The courses that we develop ad offer are desiged to help you build the kowledge ad skills eeded to be efficiet ad effective i our idustry. They are ope to all, so whether you are a ew-starter, just eed to develop ad refresh your kowledge or are the CEO lookig to icrease capabilities of your staff or eve your cliets, there is somethig of iterest. We cotiuously improve ad develop our offerig, so if you have some feedback o a existig course or a idea or suggestio for additioal traiig do cotact us. Skills have ever bee more importat i our idustry as media compaies serve audieces that wat to view, read ad liste o a multitude of devices wherever ad wheever they wat, with vedors ad system itegrators producig complex software, hardware ad systems i respose to this demad. We have traiig that is packaged for olie delivery, as well as face-to-face iformal presetatios, Q&A sessios ad tutorials from our expert traiers, ad deliver classroom courses i a variety of locatios. We ca also ru our traiig at your locatio. Havig highlighted how importat skills are, we would like to commed the techical skills Certificatio programme which is idepedetly admiistered ad regulated by our educatioal charity IABM Educatioal Foudatio It s always good to show what you kow! Oe of the best ways to do this is via the high-quality olie examiatio process that the Educatioal Foudatio rus, leadig to the award of Certified Broadcast & Media Techologist at Associate, Practitioer ad Professioal level. Attedig courses is a excellet route, but do look at our Evets the work of our techology group ad those of our frieds ad parters at orgaisatios like ABU, EBU, IEEE, IET ad SMPTE. Never Stop Learig! 3

4 WHO WE WORK WITH Future Media Cocepts Future Media Cocepts hosts ad re-sells the IABM traiig portfolio i North America. Headquartered i New York City, FMC operates eight other traiig cetres located i Bosto, Philadelphia, Washigto DC, Orlado, Chicago, Irvie ad Toroto. FMC has a strog traiig portfolio largely i the multi-vedor accredited post productio craft operatios sector ad has a mutual re-sellig agreemet with IABM. Techology Academy The Techology Academy develops ad delivers istructor-led techology traiig courses i digital televisio, broadcast, radio frequecy ad wireless egieerig. Courses are taught by leadig techical experts with may years of experiece i their fields of expertise. 4

5 OUR COMMUNITY Our Traiers All of our traiers are experts withi their field. We search out those with the best reputatios ad work with them to esure that their delivery techiques cosistetly reach our demadig stadards. We discuss each course delivery with our traiers to make sure these reflect the latest techological developmets ad delegate feedback. Future employees for the idustry I order for the sector to cotiue to grow it is essetial to attract the highest calibre graduates. So we work with uiversities to esure that, ot oly do they cotiue to offer courses which are relevat to our idustry, but make sure that course attedees are aware of the opportuities that broadcast maufacturig offers them. By likig appropriate uiversities with orgaizatios i the idustry, the IABM Traiig Academy ca achieve a flow of iformatio that will be of beefit to all, see IABM Uiversity Forum uder parters o our website Traiig Team The Traiig Academy team are available to aswer ay questios or cocers you may have regardig our courses. We would be delighted to hear from you if there are particular areas of iterest that we do ot yet cover that you feel would be of value. We are always lookig to expad our offerig ad oly through feedback from the idustry ca we cotiue to build successful courses. We would also be happy to talk through ay idividual or compay eeds that you may wish to explore. Traiig@theiabm.org or +44 (0)

13 NETWORK ESSENTIALS FOR BROADCAST ENGINEERS Moder busiesses rely o IT etworkig for much of what they do ad IT etworks have evolved over the last 50 years to the poit that they have the scale ad performace to hadle video ad audio cotet cost-effectively. This is drivig chage i broadcast ad media busiesses. Most are i trasitio from bespoke digital itercoectio stadards, such as SDI ad AES3 with their dedicated cablig ad hardware, to a high-performace IT ifrastructure with commodity-based compute-egies ruig software applicatios that serve, process, move ad store pictures ad soud over a suitably desiged IT etwork with commo cablig ifrastructure. A similar trasitio has take place i distributio ad playout as IT servers become the orm ad cotet is icreasigly cosumed by audieces via the iteret. This course will build your uderstadig of the fudametals of etworkig, i which data is trasported as packets switched ad routed aroud a commo ifrastructure. You will lear the key etwork protocols used ad the etwork layers that are commoly used to uderstad their scope ad fuctio i routig packets betwee IT hosts ad from etwork to etwork. The emphasis will be o Etheret (layer 2) ad Iteret Protocol (layer 3). You will lear the essetials of eterprise etworks ad the ways that a etwork ifrastructure ca used for media applicatios. Duratio ad delivery Two-days of iformal presetatio, practical demostratios ad discussio with a idustry expert traier. Ca be custom delivered osite with a miimum of six participats.
