Learning Outcomes and Application | The skills and knowledge outlined in this unit apply to senior operators working in large-scale or network broadcasting facilities.Master control is where traffic flows of incoming and outgoing signals are managed, monitored and assessed. Consequently, senior broadcast or transmission operators working in master control are expected to manage complex operational activities incorporating a high level of responsibility, including the management of a broadcast operations team.Specifically they evaluate multiple sources of incoming and outgoing data to and from master control. They are required to assign signals of vision, sound and data to appropriate external and internal destinations. In addition, they need to ensure that the best technical quality of program sources and signals is achieved, which may involve workarounds when faults or equipment failures occur. | ||
