Who is this Micro-credential for?? 

• This micro-credential has been developed to benefit engineers interested in learning more about the design of engineering systems that enable video streaming and cinema production platforms. 

• Engineers with a background in Information Science and Engineering including Electronics, Computer Science, Mathematics would be well prepared for this micro-credential. Learners will advance their professional competencies through coursework targeted at industry standard video processing platforms including NUKE and ffmpeg and taught by an Academy Award winner in motion picture effects. 

• Learners will consider design and deployment of both video compression technologies and video processing enhancement tasks for the cinema and media streaming industry.

 

Why should I take this Micro-credential?? 

• Companies like Netflix, Apple, Amazon are both content creators, and streaming media platforms, and this fuels the demand for engineers in both domains. The pandemic has amplified the importance of both movie making technology and streaming media platforms. 

• As the areas of filmmaking and media streaming converge, engineers in post-production houses need to understand more about the latest compression standards and engineers in streaming media teams need to understand more about what high quality image manipulation entails. 

• This micro-credential suits engineers in a start up in the video streaming space or designing image enhancement technology as well as those embarking on a graduate degree in Video Engineering. If you have just joined a post-production house or start up as an early stage graduate this course is an excellent onboarding strategy.

• Our Micro-credentials are all CPD approved by Engineers Ireland
