This session will dive deep into all aspects of video engineering for the modern technician. The focus of this session is to de-mystify certain terminologies and workflows used daily, but often taken for granted. These topics will include: color spaces, bit-depth, chroma sub-sampling, EDID, HDCP, signal types, signal capacity. These terms are explored, analyzed, and then critiqued in their direct application to installations and live events. For example, a topic will be 8-bit content compared to 10-bit content, and how this directly affects the cable choices required for an application.
