Programming
The training program on lighting systems is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of modern lighting techniques and equipment. The curriculum covers the fundamentals of lighting design and the practical aspects of programming lighting boards.
Course Outline:
Introduction to Lighting Systems:
Overview of different types of lighting systems, including LED, incandescent, and moving lights.
Understanding the components of a lighting rig, including fixtures, dimmers, and control boards.
Programming Lighting Boards:
Hands-on instruction in the use of various lighting control software and hardware.
Techniques for programming static lighting scenes using both traditional and modern lighting boards.
Introduction to automated lighting systems and the integration of moving lights into live performances.
Focusing Lighting:
Detailed techniques on how to focus different types of fixtures to achieve desired lighting effects.
Exploration of beam angles, throw distances, and the use of gobos and filters for different settings.
Best practices on adjusting and maintaining lighting angles for optimal performance.
Working with Moving Lights:
In-depth training on the functions and capabilities of moving lights, including pan, tilt, and zoom.
Techniques for programming dynamic light sequences and creating complex lighting cues in real-time.
Understanding the DMX protocol and the role it plays in lighting control for moving fixtures.
Application in Production:
Real-world application of learned skills in various production settings, including concerts, theater, and corporate events.
Collaboration with other departments such as sound and stage design for cohesive production delivery.
Final project demonstrating the ability to program a complete lighting setup for a live production.
Through a mix of theoretical lessons and practical exercises, participants will leave the training equipped with the skills necessary to confidently operate and program advanced lighting systems for any production.
Training on Sound Systems,
specifically
covering mixer amplifiers and equalizers (EQ). Participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the essential components and their functions within a sound system.
The training begins with an introduction to mixer amplifiers, detailing their role in audio signal routing and amplification. Participants will learn about different types of mixers, including analog and digital models, and explore key features such as channel strips, auxiliary sends, and master controls.
Next, the curriculum delves into the function of equalizers in audio processing. Attendees will study the principles of sound frequencies and how EQ can be used to shape sound by boosting or cutting specific frequencies. Various types of EQ, such as graphic and parametric, will be discussed, alongside practical applications for different audio scenarios.
Hands-on practice is a core component of the training. Participants will engage in live demonstrations with real sound system equipment, allowing them to apply theoretical knowledge to concrete situations. This includes setting up a sound system, routing audio signals through the mixer, and adjusting EQ settings to achieve the desired sound quality.
By the end of the training, participants will have a solid foundation in the operation of mixer amplifiers and equalizers, enabling them to effectively manage audio in various environments, from live performances to studio recordings. This program is designed for audio professionals at all skill levels who seek to enhance their expertise in sound systems..
