TR-1001 IP Media Networks
This session covers everything you need to know about IP-based networking for Media Production. It covers all the essential network protocols and standards for uncompressed video over IP (SMPTE ST 2022-6 / ST 2110) as well as looking at how to make such systems work through the use of PTP and NMOS specifications.
The Broadcast Training Day
This 1-day course has been put together to provide a cost-effective way to address the often-overlooked basics of the broadcast industry and its technology whilst also having a positive impact on staff morale by encouraging back-office/admin staff to be included in the initial session(s).
Broadcast Engineer Essentials
3-day (flexible) session covering the fundamentals of broadcast technology that every engineer and technician should know. Attendees of this course will be more confident and able to approach any new technology challenges they may face.
Cloud Playout
Up to date industry information combined with education on cloud technology. This 1-day session is essential for anyone looking to increase their knowledge of linear playout from the cloud and will give them the information they need to compare and evaluate available options.
Exec 1-to-1 Sessions
For those in senior roles who may benefit from a better technical understanding of new technologies, please take a look at our new Exec 1-to-1 sessions. A great chance to fill in those embarrassing knowledge gaps, keep up to date, or just to brush up on the basics.

Knowledge Feed
There is so much great content out there on the web, much of it available for free.
In our knowledge feed we curate the best of what the web has to offer along with some of our own original articles. Thanks to YouTube and Wikipedia, there is more information available than ever before; let us be your guide to finding content that’s worth the investment of your time.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of content out there has technical inaccuracies, in many cases this can undermine its value – where we feel such content explains an important concept well we try to include it with the inaccuracy highlighted in the accompanying narrative.
The knowledge feed will grow over time so forgive us if it appears a little light to start with. Please check back regularly or sign up to our mailing list to be notified periodically when new updates are available.

Broadcast Industry
Events Feed
The events feed features mainly free sessions of educational value – mainly with a broadcast technology focus.
We regularly review industry events organised by associations like SMPTE, RTS, IET and others and add them to the feed to provide a single point for busy people to check.
The events listed are somewhat biased to those working in Southern England but we will also list events which may be of interest in others areas of the UK.
The feed also lists some webinars and non-broadcast specific events which we think may be of interest to our subscribers.
We periodically notify our subscribers via email about new events or for those which may be popular and require advanced booking. Sign-up now to ensure you don’t miss out.
