Course Overview
As Media and Entertainment begins to broadly embrace UHD, Engineers andTechnicians need to understand next-generation video formats, so they’re better prepared to lead change and growth in their organizations. This course will give you both the technical background and the practical skills to handle the UHD format across the entire content creation and distribution workflow. You’ll gain a broad working knowledge of UHD acquisition, format conversion, compression and distribution, display and interfacing. And you’ll improve your ability to discuss the technical aspects of UHD with your team, and communicate effectively about related technologies and workflows.
Prerequisites:
Participants should have some experience working with UHD technologies and workflows.
