In a continuing effort to promote technical mastery of
its industry-leading DLP Cinema® projectors, Barco University’s Center of
Excellence is introducing two new advanced digital cinema training
certification programs. With these
additions, Barco offers the industry’s most comprehensive training and
certification program for installing, operating, and servicing complete digital
cinema projection systems.
Digital cinema pioneer Barco has added two new classes, “Projector
Operations and Basic Troubleshooting” and “Theater Systems Integration,” to
augment its existing curriculum of installation, operations and service
training programs. Taught by highly
experienced industry professionals, these classes ideally complement the Center
of Excellence’s current courses: “Installation and Basic Maintenance,” and “Advanced
Diagnostics and Service.” The expanded
curriculum will enable projector operators and designated theater personnel to successfully
install, operate, integrate, service and troubleshoot Barco’s digital cinema
projection systems.
The new “Projector
Operations and Basic Troubleshooting” course is a one-day certification class
designed for theater managers, cinema owners, booth technicians,
projectionists, and other key personnel that are new to digital cinema. Students will learn about the technology
behind 2D and 3D digital cinema, and receive detailed instruction on how to
operate a Barco digital cinema projector, utilize the touch screen
Communicator, and perform troubleshooting
and basic operator maintenance tasks.
The new “Theater Systems
Integration” class is a Barco-exclusive course, providing the most in-depth
instruction available in regard to the entire digital cinema workflow. This highly advanced four-day course strongly
emphasizes “hands-on” participation and the importance of computer networking
in the digital cinema domain. Topics
include theater management systems, projectors, media players, 3D systems,
automation systems, light and color calibration equipment, audio calibration
equipment and pre-show content systems.
The founding
principle of
the Barco University Center of Excellence
is the importance of certification. “By expanding
our curriculum, we are underscoring the fact that we offer a truly valuable portfolio
of critical knowledge,” explained Scott Nipper, Training Manager for Barco
North America. “For each course, students
who obtain certification have achieved an extremely high standard of competency
in installing, operating, servicing, and maintaining our equipment. Companies that employ these individuals can rest
assured that they have been validated and verified as highly skilled, certified
personnel, making them a valuable asset to their theater operation.”
