Elements and Performance Criteria

  1. Make preparations for simple vision system activities
  2. Complete tasks using vision systems

Evidence Required

Underpinning skills and knowledge

Assessment must include evidence of the following knowledge and skills

the general scope and potential of vision system operations within different contexts

the relationship between vision system operations and other technical and performance areas including sound lighting and performance

the key features purpose and basic operating procedures of major types of AV equipment including projectors slide video and data

different types of cable and their usage in different situations and for different types of equipment

common formats of vision system plans and how these relate to practical work tasks

patching and operating commonly used signal processors

legal and safety issues with regard to vision system operations as they affect individual workers

common terminology used in relation to audiovisual operations

general knowledge of power including recognition of different power outlets and safe use of power extension leads

the meaning and use of electrical measurements including voltage current resistance power insulation and circuit continuity having regard to magnitude AC or DC circuit state energised or deenergised

literacy skills sufficient to extract key information from installation

numeracy skills sufficient to count sort and position equipment

Linkages to other units

This unit has linkages to a range of other units and combined assessment andor training may be appropriate for example

CUETGEA Handle physical elements safely during bump inbump out

CUETGE11A - Handle physical elements safely during bump in/bump out

Critical aspects of evidence

The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit

ability to complete a range of simple vision system tasks safely and in accordance with instructions

introductory knowledge of the major types of vision systems including key features and safety issues

Method and context of assessment

The assessment context must provide for

practical demonstration of skills through the completion of a range of preparatory and set up tasks with industrycurrent vision systems equipment

project or work activities that allow knowledge to be applied to specific live production contexts and situations

completion of tasks within workplacerealistic time constraints

Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge and might include

direct observation of the candidate working with equipment and completing tasks

inspection of equipment set up by the candidate

oral questioninginterviewing to assess knowledge of equipment and procedures

review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of onthejob performance by the candidate

Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups eg people with disabilities and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English remote communities and those with interrupted schooling
