Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to prepare and operate complex vision systems with multiple vision sources and display devices that require the use of media servers and control networks.
Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for ensuring that vision systems for shows, presentations or installations deliver the desired effect.
No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Elements and Performance Criteria
Elements Elements describe the essential outcomes. | Performance Criteria Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Prepare for vision system operations | 1.1 In consultation with relevant personnel, clarify vision system requirements 1.2 Provide creative input into discussions and planning sessions about ways to realise visual concepts for shows or installations 1.3 Ensure that vision system equipment is appropriate for the type of installation and that sufficient operators are available 1.4 Determine need for media servers and control networks and ensure that computer hardware, networks and operating systems are compatible as required 1.5 Anticipate problems that may arise during installation, testing and operational phases and plan accordingly 1.6 Incorporate safety and security considerations into planning the installation and operation of vision systems 1.7 Document and submit operational plans as required |
2. Manage multiple vision outputs and displays | 2.1 Input data and images into vision systems in a timely fashion and according to production or installation requirements 2.2 Advise where data or image sources do not meet quality and production requirements and propose options to resolve issues as required 2.3 Manipulate vision system applications to produce desired outcomes and to resolve problems that arise during rehearsals or testing phase 2.4 Install and test automated and interactive vision systems so that all functions operate as required 2.5 Install and calibrate vision outputs and displays 2.6 Operate multiple source and display vision systems during live shows or events and resolve problems with minimal disruption 2.7 Manage media servers and vision system control networks as required 2.8 Undertake routine maintenance of vision systems as required 2.9 Build trust and respect through effective use of communication skills |
3. Evaluate vision system operations | 3.1 Seek feedback from relevant personnel on effectiveness of vision system operations 3.2 Incorporate feedback as required into future planning 3.3 Review own work performance and adjust work practices accordingly |
Evidence of Performance
Evidence of the ability to:
plan the operation of, and operate, vision systems that feature multiple sources and display devices, for at least two productions or installations
work collaboratively with others involved in productions or installations.
Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
Evidence of Knowledge
To complete the unit requirements the individual must:
explain the purpose and function of media servers and control networks in relation to vision systems
describe issues and challenges that typically arise when setting up and operating complex vision systems, along with solutions to address them
describe routine maintenance procedures for vision systems that need to be undertaken for both temporary and permanent installations.
Assessment Conditions
Assessment must be conducted in a safe environment where evidence gathered demonstrates consistent performance of typical activities experienced in creative arts industry environments. The assessment environment must include access to complex vision systems used for performances, shows or installations.
Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.
