Cybersecurity for Integrators

As more devices become network-enabled, the need to secure these devices becomes ever more important as the implications and scope of security incidents become greater. This course provides an introduction to cybersecurity, discusses the various threats to clients and business systems security, identifies key areas to improve current security, and offers a basic knowledge of the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) framework for cybersecurity.

This course includes the following modules:

  1. Introduction to Cybersecurity for Integrators
  2. Cybersecurity Basics for Integrators
  3. The NIST Cybersecurity Framework

AV-over-IP

As technology rapidly evolves, the ability to deliver quality audio and video signals via IP has become more and more reliable, providing better and better experiences for clients. In this AV-over-IP course, learners will discover information about exciting new ways to distribute and deliver content throughout the modern home using these techniques.

This course includes the following modules:

  1. Basics of AV Distribution and AV-over-IP
  2. AV-over-IP for Integrators
  3. AV-over-IP Under the Hood

Design Documentation

Identifying and interpreting the various documents used during an integration project is critical to good communication as well as accurate execution. It is also an important component in the general professionalism of a company. Accurate and complete design documentation provides for detailed communication between stakeholders and is the foundation for precise billing and job costing, while also acting as a guide to installation. High-quality documentation is necessary to support an outstanding client experience. This course explores the essential details of architectural drawings as well as system design and engineering documents and provides learners with the knowledge necessary to use these documents successfully in the field.

This course includes the following modules:

  1. Architectural Design Documentation
  2. System Design and Engineering Documents

Deep Dive Into HDMI

HDMI® technology is a highly sophisticated transport, with many protocols and capabilities required to make it work. It is designed for easy plug-and-play, so when a consumer connects a source to a display with an HDMI cable it will automatically configure to send the optimal AV signals. An integrator with a deeper understanding of how HDMI works will lead to better system designs with more informed decisions, resulting in more predictable, reliable outcomes, and reduced troubleshooting times. This course focuses on the anatomy of HDMI cables, high-speed AV channels, and multiple ways to troubleshoot HDMI technology issues.  

This course includes the following modules:

  1. Anatomy of HDMI Signals
  2. High-Speed AV Channels
  3. HDMI Cables and Compliance

Systems Integration Lifecycle (Initiation)

Most projects follow a typical systems integration lifecycle, moving at a summary level from sales, to engineering, to operations (such as project management, installation, fabrication, programming, and commissioning), ultimately transitioning to service. This course provides participants with an understanding of the critical cross-functional hand-offs that must occur to make a project successful. It will also cover the project initiation deliverables beginning with sales and the internal project kick-off meeting – all of which are essential first steps in this process. Because systems integration projects have so much repetition across projects, the principles of quality management will also be covered. A special “thank you” to subject matter expert and PMP, Brad Malone, for providing the content utilized in this course.

This course includes the following modules: 

  1. AV Project Lifecycle and Sales Deliverables
  2. Project Initiation
  3. Quality Management Principles
