It is advisable to study previously the courses 'Audiovisual Signal Processing' and 'Acoustic Engineering' and to study 'Architectonic Acoustic' at the same time.
Specifically, it is necessary to know analogic-digital conversion, compression, acoustic transducers, electroacoustic transmitters and receivers.
Audiovisual technology is one of the working areas of telecommunication engineers.
Basic concepts of multimedia systems are studied previously in the course 'Audiovisual Signal Processing'. This course is complemented with 'Architectural Acoustic'.
This course is advisable to study the courses 'Audiovisual Systems' and 'Audiovisual Events Recording'.
