25 Attendees At AV-ICNx Education & Training Programme 2019 Certified As Authorised IPBaseT Technology Specialist
Nataraju Upputuri, Director of Aurora Multimedia India, at the AV-ICNx Education and Training Programme
Aurora Multimedia India went an extra mile to educate the market by conducting an exclusive training and certification for its IPBaseT range of products at the AV-ICNx Training & Education Platform. Pre-registered AV professionals attended the training and around 25 attendees were awarded the title of authorised IPBaseT Technology Specialist after the training had concluded.
Aurora Training and Certification program is divided into two parts:
- IPBaseT Technology Specialist Certification – A basic level training program on IPBaseT technology
- Certified Aurora Technology Specialist – An elementary level training program on Aurora Programming Both one-time certification programs have lifetime validity. During the AV-ICNx expo, Aurora conducted the basic level IPBaseT training program.
Training Overview:
The training was conducted by Nataraju Upputuri, Director of Aurora Multimedia India and Amith C. Pillai, Technical Manager of Aurora Multimedia India.
The day-long course on day 2 of AV-ICNx started with an interactive session covering the basics of IP networking, followed by hands-on training exploring an AV-over-IP system. This included the installation, configuration and management aspects of the system including encoders and decoders as well as the management platform, which drives configuration and content management.
The advantages and benefits for integrators and end-users who took part in IPBaseT training and certification program:
Aurora’s IPBaseT combines a variety of 4K IP technologies and features under one unified protocol using a simplified topology. This evolution of the AV industry is changing the topology of AV across the world. The good news is that the professional AV community, which includes integrators, partners and end-users, can see the immediate benefits of Aurora’s technology.
Aurora’s products deliver compressed (VLX series) visually lossless video with low latency as well as uncompressed video (IPX series) with zero latency. For end-users the main benefit is ease installation with a network switch and the fact that LAN can be used for video transmission instead of having a parallel infrastructure for AV with proprietary cabling.
This means getting rid of high-end and expensive AV matrix switchers and replacing them with IPBaseT transceivers and using multicast LAN network switches instead. At the training, the AV community got an opportunity to learn how to deliver these services and advantages to their clients.
The aim of the IPBaseT training sessions was to make AV Engineers learn what they need to know to leverage the standard for high performance AV network deployments in education, healthcare, enterprise, entertainment, hospitality, retail, houses of worship, government, military, industry and security.
Aurora Multimedia was amongst the first companies to started educating end users on AV over IP technology. Since nearly two decades, Aurora has been a strong brand, known for its innovative technology and superlative products, particularly in North America and Europe. and operations commencing in India, the core focus was on awareness of AV over IP concept and acceptability by integrators and end users.
Nataraju Upputuri says,” With rapid economic growth and development happening in India, we believe the demand for Aurora products in India is growing steadily. Specifically, we foresee that with VLX series and IPX series streaming solutions and distribution over IP will be our major growth areas in coming future. Particularly, growth in the educational, government, hospitality and residential markets is very promising”.
Upon completion of the course, attendees received a certificate and benefited by acquiring an understanding of basics of IP network communication, TCP/IP suite of protocols, leveraging IP networks for AV solutions, capabilities of AV over IP and IP network infrastructure requirements to deploy a system effectively.
