This unit information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to set up a basic data network for remote control and distribution of digital system processing (DSP) audio in the screen, media, entertainment and events industries. Individuals who apply these skills work autonomously in a team environment as they take responsibility for setting up and monitoring audio system control networks, such as remote control systems for amplifiers and proprietary DSP control systems where functions can be assigned remotely. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
Supersedes and is equivalent to CUESOU12B - Set up and operate audio system control networks
Students will attend on campus classes as well as engage in learning activities through ECU Blackboard.
For more information see the Semester Timetable
Evidence of the ability to: - configure and manage audio networks to meet production requirements on at least two occasions - work collaboratively. Note: If a specific volume or frequency is not stated, then evidence must be provided for each of the above points at least once.
To complete the unit requirements the individual must: - explain the function of musical instrument digital interface (MIDI), SMPTE and show-based protocols and control mediums - describe the main features of systems used to control audio - explain terminology and definitions for digital systems and network control - explain how cues relate to control networks - explain the difference between analogue and digital forms of control and switching - explain the following concepts and procedures associated with data interfacing: - basic network protocols - communications - error correction - interfacing with common computer operating systems - network distribution - network topologies - transmission - explain how digital signal processing applies in control systems - describe proprietary audio transmission protocols and other kinds of full bandwidth audio transmission topologies.
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: - audio networking devices - a venue in which audio can be networked. Assessors of this unit must satisfy the requirements for assessors in applicable vocational educational and training legislation, frameworks and/or standards.

Students please note: The marks and grades received by students on assessments may be subject to further moderation. All marks and grades are to be considered provisional until endorsed by the relevant Board of Examiners.
For the purposes of considering a request for Reasonable Adjustments under the Disability Standards for Education (Commonwealth 2005), inherent requirements for this subject are articulated in the Unit Description, Learning Outcomes and Assessment Requirements of this entry. The University is dedicated to provide support to those with special requirements. Further details on the support for students with disabilities or medical conditions can be found at the Access and Inclusion website.
Edith Cowan University has firm rules governing academic misconduct and there are substantial penalties that can be applied to students who are found in breach of these rules. Academic misconduct includes, but is not limited to:
Additionally, any material submitted for assessment purposes must be work that has not been submitted previously, by any person, for any other unit at ECU or elsewhere.
The ECU rules and policies governing all academic activities, including misconduct, can be accessed through the ECU website.
