Training

The Pixel Power training team can help boost the skills of your staff, whether their roles are creative, technical or operational.

We see training as an essential part of our service offering, and we can advise and deliver training on individual products or complete solutions. Training can also be tailored to your specific needs, with courses being held on-site or remotely as required.

Pixel Power Training team

Our in-house training team is made up of industry experts with decades of experience within the broadcast and media industry. As you’d expect, our team has an intimate knowledge of our own products and services, but they also understand the wider industry and have an excellent understanding of complementary productions and solutions. This enables them to provide the most comprehensive training that can help deliver the maximum business benefit to you.

Training Benefits

Training is vitally important; it ensures your team can use new solutions efficiently so you get maximum return on your investment. Our training teams help you streamline workflows, produce higher quality content, and achieve better results for your business. Don’t let a lack of training hold you back.

Where we can help

We don’t see training as a ‘nice to have’ add-on – it is a critical component of the overall solution. From the earliest point in the engagement, we will work with you to understand your training requirements. Through each stage of the project and beyond the go live date, we are there to support your staff whenever we are needed.

Training needs analysis

The first activity is to understand the training need. We try to do this as early as possible in the engagement, so we quote the correct quantity and the right type of training. The more information provided, the more accurately can we quantify the need.

Project deployment

The Training team always works very closely with the Project Delivery team so that training fits optimally into the project delivery plan. Some training may be needed for key stakeholders at an early point in the project. If required, such training can be delivered using a dedicated training system. Training generally uses the customer system so that the training accurately reflects the workflow, media, graphics and GUI of the final delivered solution. We also plan training to be as close to the go-live date as possible, so all information is fresh in the minds of the staff. Training for technical support staff is typically planned to be just before go-live so that all aspects of configuration and workflow are covered.

Post Go-live

We believe there is still a place for training, even after your new solution is live! You may have staff who were not included in the initial plan or new starters who now need the skills to use your new solution. As additional features and functionality are added to the solution, update or refresher training may also be required. .

On-line resources

In additional to face-to-face training, we have a comprehensive amount of on-line training material available so customers can (re)discover features or functions. Learn at your own convenience or use this material as a helpful reference whenever you need it.

In our search for a modern playout solution, we wanted a solution that is truly future-proof, flexible and highly scalable.

We need to be flexible in our operations, and Prismon gives us the complete freedom we require to set up and dynamically change our monitoring.

3CAT
We needed a system that could support promo versioning at high volumes; replacing the repetitive, resource intensive, manual task of versioning with an automated route, flexible enough to deal with the changing demands of the business.

Training categories

Operational

Focuses on teaching your users how to operate a particular part of the solution effectively to carry out their day-to-day tasks.

Solution

Often delivered at an early stage in a project, this helps equip key stakeholders with an overview of the solution design, the workflow(s) and the key technical elements, so they fully understand the project and the benefits it will bring.

Creative

Creative training is backed up by the Creative Services team who have rebranded hundreds of channels around the world over the last decade. They know exactly what it’s like to be in your position. Training here focuses on teaching creative staff how to build and implement exciting new television branding with the latest powerful graphics tools. Creative training is tailored to your graphics needs and, as an example, can demonstrate how automation enables staff to spend time on more creative tasks rather than tedious ‘heavy lifting’ tasks such as producing multiple versions of the same graphic. Courses can be enhanced with workshops where trainees work with our trainers to build real examples of their on-air graphics.

Technical

Technical training focuses on ensuring support teams have the knowledge they need to maximize the up time of the system. The training covers subjects such as the hardware and workflow of the system, configuration, fault-finding, log taking, software updates, and so on. For maximum benefit, technical staff should also have attended operational training.

Superuser

This focuses on your most senior staff who oversee the deployment and operation of the new solution. After the system goes live, superusers may be involved in the modification of the workflow, the GUI design and other changes. Superuser training covers every aspect of the system, helping your most senior users fully understand the solution and all of its parameters.
