Core Concepts for Open Architecture AV Design


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."

Be sure to fill out the short Core Concepts Survey course after completion of this course!
