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.

What does a mask do? Blocks respiratory droplets coming from your mouth and throat.
Two simple demos:
First, I sneezed, sang, talked & coughed toward an agar culture plate with or without a mask. Bacteria colonies show where droplets landed. A mask blocks virtually all of them.
