Quality Assessment of Film and Tape for Television Main Menu
• Overview
These courses have been designed in consultation with the Independent Television Facilities Company (ITFC) and replace the courses previously operated by them. They have been considerably enhanced to include such topics as compression artefacts. The course duration has been extended to allow more time for audio quality aspects. Two different courses are offered.

Quality Monitoring of Sound and Vision (QA/M)
Course Outline
Very few organisations enjoy the luxury of a fully equipped quality assessment area in accordance with the international guidelines discussed and demonstrated in the well established JLA QA1 course.
This two day course concentrates on recognising and assessing the severity of the more obvious faults that are easily detected in most typical operational listening and viewing environments. It is intended for personnel engaged in every day quality monitoring in a limited listening and viewing environment, i.e. equipment rooms control rooms etc.
The course is aimed at technical staff, it contains discussion and practical demonstration.
