Introduction to Operation of ENG/EFP Components

INTRODUCTION TO OPERATION OF ENG/EFP COMPONENTS

This subcourse for the Audio/Television Specialist contains four lessons on

the components and operation of the ENG/EFP system.

Also included in the

instruction are simple operator's maintenance, safety measures, and the

limitations of this portable television system.

The television industry has found through increasing advancements in

technology that the video recording system is easy to use and can save large

amounts of money and time. Recording on video tape saves time on processing

and having to add existing sound or new sound tracks, as has to be done in

the movie film industry. With video, the audio (environmental sounds and/or

voice) is recorded simultaneously.

The operator can check the recording

after shooting and before leaving the site, and use an electronic editor for

making changes. He may also use the same video several times without having

to do any reprocessing.

There may be great variances between this portable television system and the

basic television production equipment and procedures with which you are

already familiar.

This course will provide you with a definition of the

ENG/EFP system, its components and operation, maintenance, packing,

transporting, storage, safety procedures, and limitations of this system.
