UHD Spain and the UPM convene the II edition of the UHD Signal Production and Emission Course

After the good reception of the first edition, UHD Spain will again teach the UHD Signal Production and Emission Course in collaboration with the Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM). The teaching staff is made up of active specialist professionals, members of UHD Spain.

This new course in online format offers limited places and that will have active professionals of the sector as teachers.

Jose Manuel Menendez, Professor at the UPM, highlights that the course aims to "train professionals from media groups in working with the new characteristics of the UHD signal, from capture to broadcast, including aspects of post-processing, monitoring, archiving and commercial export."

Thus, the course reflects the need for training in a context of transition towards Ultra High Definition by the industry and in which there is a demand to train professionals in the management of the new characteristics of the UHD signal.

Participants will acquire the necessary knowledge to face the fundamental challenges that the implementation of UHD entails, such as higher bit depth forced by recommendation ITU-R BT.2020, the use of high dynamic range coexisting with standard dynamic range, the greatest capacity of color representation, the oldest refresh rate in the image box or next-generation audio possibilities.

For its part, the teaching staff is made up of active professionals from the main companies in the sector and media groups in Spain who, under the umbrella of UHD Spain, work for the definitive implementation of the UHD signal in our country.

They will be part of the team teaching team Carlos Casán (Conan); Xavier Bonet and Jordi Mata (CCM); Xavier Red (cellnex); Vicente Pla Pla (Coitt); Sonia valladas and Ricardo Viñas (Dalbyy); Elena Budiel (Frauhofer II); Emili Planas (Grup Mediapro); Robert Salvador Bueno Klein (rtve); Miguel Angel Corral (Treve); John José Anaia (sapec); Julián Fernandez-Camp (tedicia); José Luis Blanco, David Jiménez and José Manuel Menéndez (Upm); So like heray alphageme and Francisco José Espinosa ‘Tilano’, as an independent expert.
