CBT - Composer Basic Training

Core Concepts for Open Architecture AV Design (CC-OA-2024-ENG)


Description
This updated course provides an overview of the Composer software and its use in the development of professional AV installations. This edition includes updated control devices (ie, W-Series, T-Series), new endpoints (ie, xIO XLR-Series), and AV-Ops Center for remote monitoring. Successful completion of the course and submission of a passing Composer Site File will result in Composer Certification equivalent to the previous course, "Composer Basic Training."
