Editing Broadcast engineering (section)

==Qualifications==

Broadcast engineers may need to possess some or all of the following [[degree (education)|degree]]s, depending on the broadcast technical environment. If one of the formal qualifications is not present, a related degree or equivalent professional experience is desirable.
* Degree in [[electrical engineering]]
* Degree in [[electronic engineering]]
* Degree in [[telecommunications engineering]]
* Degree in [[computer engineering]]
* Degree in [[management information system]]
* Degree in broadcast technology

===Knowledge===

Broadcast engineers are generally required to know the following areas, from conventional video broadcast systems to modern Information Technology:
* Conventional broadcast
** Audio/Video [[instrumentation]] [[measurement]]
** [[Baseband]] [[video]] – standard / [[high-definition video|high-definition]]
** Broadcast studio [[acoustics]]
** [[Television studio]]s - broadcast [[video camera]]s and [[camera lens]]es
** [[Vision mixer|Production switcher]] (Video mixer)
** [[Mixing console|Audio mixer]]
** [[Mixing console|Recording engineer]]
* Broadcast IT
** [[Video compression]] - [[DV25]], [[MPEG]], [[Digital Video Broadcasting|DVB]] or [[ATSC Standards|ATSC]] (or [[ISDB]])
** Digital server [[playout]] technologies. - [[VDCP]], Louth, [[Harris Corporation|Harris]], control protocols
** [[Broadcast automation]]
** [[Disk storage]] – [[RAID]] / [[Network-attached storage|NAS]] / [[Storage area network|SAN]] technologies.
** Archives – [[Tape archive]]s or [[grid storage]] technologies.
** [[Computer networking]]
** [[Operating system]]s – [[Microsoft Windows]] / [[macOS]] / [[Linux]] / [[real-time operating system|RTOS]]
** [[Post production]] – [[video capture]] and [[non-linear editing system]]s (NLEs).
* RF
** RF [[satellite uplink]]ing – High-powered amplifiers (HPA)
** RF [[communications satellite]] [[downlink]]ing – Band detection, [[carrier wave|carrier]] detection and [[integrated receiver/decoder|IRD]] tuning, etc.
** RF transmitter maintenance - IOT UHF transmitters, solid-state VHF transmitters, solid-state MF transmitters (AM radio), tube type VHF, and MF transmitters. Antennas, transmission lines, high power filters, digital modulators, towers, tower lighting systems, and backup generators.
* Health and safety
** [[Occupational safety and health]]
** [[Firefighting|Fire suppression]] systems like [[1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane|FM 200]].
** Basic [[structural engineering]]
** [[Radio frequency|RF]] hazard mitigation

Above mentioned requirements vary from station to station.
