Networks for entertainment

May 2026 – BRIDGEND

An introduction course for those who are new to using networks in entertainment. Starting with why we need networks and what they’re capable of, the course moves on to talk about basic networking concepts including hardware and software topics. This course covers “the essential things you need to know” to get started with a simple lighting or sound network on a show.

The course contains numerous practical exercises so trainees can try out the concept being talked about and see how their routing works. Using both lighting and sound systems as examples, students get a hands-on approach to building their first networks.

This course is being held at Production 78.
