IABM Training Academy is uniquely placed inoffering training built by the industry and forthe industry while not being tied to any vendor,manufacturer, communications service provider or broadcaster.

The courses that we develop andoffer are designed to help you buildthe knowledge and skills needed tobe efficient and effective in our industry. They are open to all, sowhether you are a new-starter, just need to develop and refresh your knowledge or are the CEO of one of our members looking to increase capabilities of your staff oreven your clients, I hope that you find something ofinterest. We continuously improve and develop theprogramme, so if you have some feedback on an existing course or an idea or suggestion for additionaltraining do contact me.

Skills have never been more important in our industryas media companies serve audiences that want toview, read and listen on a multitude of devices wherever and whenever they want, with vendors and system integrators producing complex software,hardware and systems in response to this demand.

We have training that is packaged for online delivery,as well as face-to-face informal presentations, Q&Asessions and tutorials from our expert trainers, anddeliver a programme that spans classroom locationsin Europe, North America and Asia. We can also quoteto run our training at your location and of course,once you are set up on our Learning ManagementSystem, our online courses reach your desktop oranywhere else you have a broadband connection.Some larger companies rent online training in blocks,to use with their induction or apprenticeships as partof a blended programme.

Having highlighted how important skills are, I’d like to commend the technical skills Certification programme which is independantly administered and regulated by our educational charity IABM Educational Foundation

www.iabmfoundation.org/Certification. It’s alwaysgood to show what you know! One of the best ways to do this is via the high-quality online examinationprocess that the Educational Foundation runs, leadingto the award of “Certified Broadcast & Media Technologist” at Associate, Practitioner and Professional level. People learn in many differentways, you don’t have to buy a training course or go tocollege to sit and pass these assessments, you don’teven have to travel to an assessment centre. Theexams are available around the world, and you can sit them free of charge at the moment. If you work in procurement, communications service provision,quality control, staff recruitment, education or assessment do take a look at the certification and thesyllabus the exams are built-on. They were designedto give you assurance of the knowledge and skillsbase of people you rely on to make your businesswork. See page 24 for more information.

The plethora of new consumer devices and the abilityof Information and Communication Technology totransport, store and process audio and video bringnew services and more manufacturers and vendorsinto our sector. I’d like to particularly highlight ouronline course Understanding IP and File Based Technology (page 7) in that respect. All of us need to keep up to date to ensure that our businesses cancapitalise on, and invent, new opportunities amongthis change. The IABM’s training program is a majorpart of the resource that you have for this. We also work with Universities internationally via our University Forum www.theiabm.org/training/iabm-university-forum tobuild capability and attract high quality graduates toour industry. If you are already in the industry, you’llknow how important it is to keep up to date.

Attending courses is an excellent rout, but do look atour Events www.theiabm.org/events the work of ourtechnology group www.theiabm.org/technology andthose of our friends and partners at organisationslike ABU, EBU, IEEE, IET and SMPTE.

OVERVIEWThis course offers high quality, interactive training at the click of a button. The online e-learning platform enables you to complete the course at your own pace in the location of your choice, and is availableto companies of all types and sizes.

IP and File based technology and workflow

is the new normal for broadcast and

production. This provides more efficient

processing, management and throughput of

media from acquisition to distribution, in

addition to tighter integration with business

processes. Program delivery over IP provides

more data about the viewer for analysis and

business intelligence. With the introduction of

IP and File based technology comes new

terminologies and vocabularies – IP has

introduced an additional language to

broadcasting.

The intent of this course is to provide an

understanding of these technologies, systems,

processes and workflow that comprise the IP

and file based broadcast ecosystem. There are

seven modules to this course. Each module

will cover an area of technology and associated

workflows. The modules are structured to

focus on the different elements of the entire

A working knowledge in one or more of IT,electronics or media technology with a recognised technology related academic qualification is required for this course.

This course builds on the content covered in the Network

Essentials for Broadcast Engineers course and looks in

more detail at the protocols involved in streaming video

across IP networks.

Delegates will build practical networks to deliver unicast

video streams across routed and switched networks. The

resilience of the network to deliver video streams at layer

2 (spanning tree / rapid spanning tree) will be compared

and contrasted practically with the failover of routing

protocols at layer 3 (OSPF routing protocol). Cisco Layer 3

switches will be used for interconnecting networks and

only the commands required to achieve this will be

covered on the course.

Delivery of unicast video will be via RTSP/RTP/UDP and

also ‘over the top’ TV using HTTP/TCP. The Wireshark

protocol analyser will be used to decode these protocols

for a deeper understanding of how they work and also for

troubleshooting purposes. The ability of TCP and UDP to

deal with packet loss and delay will also be considered

theoretically and tested practically using the networks

built during the course and open source video software

for delivery of the unicast streams.

This is a ‘hands on’ course designed to give the delegate

confidence in working practically with streaming video

over IP networks.

DURATION Two days

From a business perspective, we look at the different

models for state, public and commercial broadcasting.

How can we connect separate and disparate media asset

management databases so different areas of the

business – news, sport etc. – can utilize the company’s

media for both quick access and revenue generation?

From an operational and technical view we examine

current and new workflows. What are the new file-based

delivery standards? How do we deliver content for

‘emission’ (broadcast transmission & OTT/VOD delivery)?

What type of quality control do we use? Where in the

workflow do we examine this file-based video, audio and

metadata? What are the new standards for ‘4K’ video and

audio?

From engineering and IT viewpoints, what is a MAM

database and how can we access the media both quicker

and more widely from separate systems?

How do we send video and audio over an IT network? How

is program delivery made to multiple platforms?

CERTIFICATION

THE IABM EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONThe IABM Educational Foundation is a registered

charity committed to advancing engineering skills

in broadcast and media technology on a global

basis. It offers certification covering three different

levels at Associate, Practitioner and Professional.

Within each level there are a range of

examinations that count towards final certification.

Currently The Foundation offers examinations in

the following subjects:

n Industry Understanding

n Audio and Video

n Compression

n Networks

n Workflows

n File Formats

n Video Systems & Applications

n IP and File-Based Architecture

For information on how to achieve each of the three

levels please see the examination matrix below.

Anyone can apply for Associate level, but there is an

occupational service requirement of either one or two

years for the Practitioner and Professional levels.

There are no formal

training requirements for the examinations and all

examination syllabus’ are published on The

Foundations website. For candidates who do not have

relevant expertise in a particular subject area it is

recommended that candidates attend a relevant

vocational training course. The IABM Training

Academy training courses are ideal preparation

for the examinations.

Examinations can be taken at the workplace or at

home and are invigilated through a remote proctor

system. You will need a computer, browser, webcam

and microphone. All sessions are recorded and are

subject to identity and security verification and post

examination audit.

Prior learning may be taken into account and other

recognized qualifications can count towards the final

certification although certain examinations are

mandatory. Each application is considered on a case

by case basis. Certification lasts for five years and

can be renewed through our continued professional

development scheme.
