Details of Learning Activities
This unit covers Electronic cable and conductor terminations , Audio and video component functional controls, Audio and video system set up and Electronic safe working practices
Classroom tutorial activities: to consolidate the concepts of Electronic cable and conductor terminations , Audio and video component functional controls, Audio and video system set up and Electronic safe working ractices.This includes working with 5.1 surround sound setup, PDL Lexcom networks and Connect 4 technologies programming .
Following topics will be covered: Cable and conductor types and characteristics, Coaxial cables types and characteristics, Cable anchoring and support methods, Termination methods, types of components and their functional controls, function set up procedures, testing, audio components in a system, video components in a system, component connection arrangements, set up options and procedures and Risks and control measures associated with the high levels of radiation, and Optical fibre safety,
Practical exercises: to demonstrate an understanding topics related to Electronic cable and conductor terminations , Audio and video component functional controls, Audio and video system set up and Electronic safe working practices
Work simulated activities: to install a set-up a 5.1 surround sound system, install a PDL lexcom network, terminate and test a variety of electronic cables.
It is expected that students would require approximately 20% of course hours to be allocated for independent study to do project research, design, construction, testing and problem solving activities.
