| The National Community Radio Forum (NCRF) and Open Society Foundation for South Africa (OSF-SA) have developed this manual as a resource to help community radio staff and volunteers. It can be used as a reference for technicians as they go about their day-to-day work, cleaning the studios and doing repairs. It can be used to train new people in the programming department - the many producers, newsreaders, presenters and DJs who will operate the studios. It can be used if you need ideas about how to develop studios further, especially in relation to new digital technologies. The manual also aims to demystify studio equipment, in view of helping to understand how to use studios properly and to give the confidence to experiment. The manual is intensively illustrated with drawings, diagrams and pictures, offering an easy-access to no-professional users. It provides information about: The broadcast system Studios at a radio station, and how to link them The types of equipment you are likely to find in a community station What the equipment in the studios can do Commonly used technical language and concepts Basic maintenance, fault-finding and problem solving. It offers also a glossary of about 150 pages from Acoustics to UPS and Video Logging Syste. This A-Z section offered as one PDF file (1,15 MB) will be of special use for technicians, but it will also be useful for others wanting more detailed information about the different pieces of equipment found in studios, and how they work. The A-Z will also help understand many of the words and terms used by broadcasters, sound engineers, equipment suppliers and others involved in the broadcast industry. The manual can be downloaded in 5 PDF files (from 128 KB up to 2,34 MB) from OSF-SA, under the section "Publications", "Download category : Media Related Files". |
