IABM to Host Two-Day Engineering Course at BroadcastAsia2013 28 May 2013

The IABM (International Association of Broadcasting Manufacturers) today announced that it will hold a two-day course, Audio and Video Fundamentals for Engineers, during BroadcastAsia2013. Scheduled for June 17-18 at The Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel in Singapore and led by renowned trainer Joe Tozer, the course addresses the specific technologies and applications involved in the generation, movement, and monitoring of audio and video signals and files in a broadcast and media technology environment.

Offered by the IABM in conjunction with Singapore-based publisher Spinworkz Pte Ltd, the course offers newly recruited engineers and technologists the opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the technical requirements within broadcasting environments. It will suit those who are involved on the supply side in product or project design and development and also those who work in support and maintenance of the technical infrastructure at broadcast facilities and other media enterprises.

For more than a decade, Tozer has been an independent trainer and consultant specializing in audio, video, and IP transmission and delivery systems. He holds patents for digital audio processing systems and for advanced fast-access teletext, and he has worked in engineering and training roles at leading broadcast facilities and leading broadcast solutions vendors. Tozer has written extensively on digital broadcast technologies, and he is both the author and editor in chief of the Broadcast Engineers' Reference Book. He is a full member of the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers (SMPTE) and the Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET).

Completion of this course is ideal preparation for the associated examination, which is one of the building blocks leading to the award of the Certified Broadcast and Media Technology Professional Qualification (CertBMTprof). Participants in the IABM course should have successfully completed a recognized first-degree-level course of study (or equivalent) in electronics, computer systems, or software engineering.

Space in the training course is limited and early registration is encouraged. Those who register before May 31 pay a reduced course fee of just $1,700 (Singapore dollars).
