Objectives and competences

The objective of the course is to familiarize students with the structure, operation, possibilities and limitations of devices in audio-video production. The course deals with the basic characteristics of devices in AV production and the theory of recording techniques. Students get acquainted with various types of AV production, procedures and configuration of studio technology and TV studios. Through the understanding of the basics of acoustics, they also learn the basics of sound for video. Theoretical knowledge is complemented by the hands-on approach to these topics in laboratory exercises, where students learn about the practical application of studio technology and recording approaches. 

Learning and teaching methods

  • lectures 
  • practical demonstration with the equipment 
  • work in pairs and groups with equipment 
  • field work 

Intended learning outcomes

After successful completion of the course students should be able to: 

  • Present the functioning of studio and recording equipment from the audio-visual content capture point of view and regarding the connectivity 
  • Design and perform live broadcasting of audio-video signals by mixing multiple sources 
  • Plan and implement adequate audio and video capture and storage 
  • Explain the basics of room acoustics 
  • Plan appropriate lighting and light management 
  • Plan the setup of studio equipment for various purposes
