The above topic listing are based on the content of the author's book "CCTV - Digital and Networking Technologies" published by Elsevier in 2005 and they are shown for reference purposes only. Although the seminar presenter is guided by the above mentioned topics, very often certain topics are discussed as requested by the seminar attendants, i.e. they depend on the attendants level of understanding and interest.
Therefore, CCTV Labs and the seminar presenter reserve the rights to modify, exclude and include certain topics as the need arises.
Very often the seminar presenter has found that one, or two day seminars are demanding high level of concentration in order to absorb all the material explained. It is therefore possible that, although every effort is made by the presenter, not all discussions are absorbed by the attendants. For this reason it is recommended that a reminder reading or in-depth study of all the above topics, at attendants own time and pace is done by reading the book "CCTV - Digital and Networking Technologies."
For all attendants that do not have a copy of this book, CCTV Labs will offer it to all attendants at a discounted price, with the opportunity of having the author autograph the book.
