CUEAUD06B
Apply a general knowledge of vision systems to work activities
Application
Under the supervision of experienced technicians, trainees or junior staff members undertake the role outlined in this unit .They need a basic knowledge of the main types of vision systems and the procedures for tasks such as cabling and positioning of equipment. This unit has linkages to a range of other units and combined assessment and/or training may be appropriate, e.g.: CUETGE15B Handle physical elements safely during bump in/bump out. |

Evidence Required
The Evidence Guide provides advice on assessment and must be read in conjunction with the performance criteria, required skills and knowledge, range statement and the Assessment Guidelines for the Training Package. | |
Overview of assessment | |
Critical aspects for assessment and evidence required to demonstrate competency in this unit | The following evidence is critical to the judgement of competence in this unit: ability to complete a range of simple vision system tasks safely and in accordance with instructions introductory knowledge of the major types of vision systems, including key features and safety issues. |
Context of and specific resources for assessment | The assessment context must provide for: practical demonstration of skills through the completion of a range of preparatory and set up tasks with industry-current vision systems equipment project or work activities that allow knowledge to be applied to specific live production contexts and situations completion of tasks within workplace-realistic time constraints. |
Method of assessment | Assessment may incorporate a range of methods to assess performance and the application of essential underpinning knowledge, and might include: direct observation of the candidate working with equipment and completing tasks inspection of equipment set up by the candidate oral questioning/interviewing to assess knowledge of equipment and procedures review of portfolios of evidence and third party workplace reports of on-the-job performance by the candidate. Assessment methods should closely reflect workplace demands and the needs of particular groups (e.g. people with disabilities, and people who may have literacy or numeracy difficulties such as speakers of languages other than English, remote communities and those with interrupted schooling). |
Guidance information for assessment | Assessment of this unit requires access to: current and operational vision systems as specified in the Range Statement vision system plans or instructions. |
Range Statement
The range statement relates to the unit of competency as a whole. It allows for different work environments and situations that may affect performance. Bold italicised wording, if used in the performance criteria, is detailed below. Essential operating conditions that may be present with training and assessment (depending on the work situation, needs of the candidate, accessibility of the item, and local industry and regional contexts) may also be included. | |
Vision system activities within this unit must include: | cabling of equipment, including making cables using connectors and crimping tools positioning of equipment testing the basic operation of equipment |
Equipment may include: | 35mm and 16mm projectors audio equipment, including: amp racks amplifiers cables compact disc players connectors effects and mixing desks equalisers feedback monitors microphones speakers tape recorders cables and wireless microphones computer-operated equipment digital and still cameras lighting equipment portable LCD and DLP projectors screens video players and monitors |
Problems with equipment would be quite simple in nature and may include: | difficulties with positioning discrepancies within plans incorrect number of equipment pieces insufficient or wrong cabling not receiving signal from input devices to display/output devices problems with power source |
