This course provides technical and operational teams with a practical, end-to-end understanding of the technologies that underpin UHDTV, HDR, and Next Generation Audio services, with a strong focus on maintaining quality of service in live broadcast environments. Participants explore how modern UHD and HDR signals are created, transported, converted, monitored, and delivered—moving from SDI into IP-based workflows using SMPTE 2110. The course examines colour spaces, transfer functions, HDR formats, metadata, and object-based audio systems, explaining how each impacts interoperability, monitoring, and viewer experience. A significant emphasis is placed on fault identification and troubleshooting, covering common failure modes in UHD, HDR, and NGA services, along with practical use of industry tools to analyse IP streams, transport streams, video, and audio signals.
Designed for support, operations, and engineering teams, the course equips attendees with the knowledge and confidence to anticipate issues, diagnose problems quickly, and maintain consistent QoS across complex next-generation broadcast systems.
Pre-requisite: The course assumes broadcast engineering or operational background.
