Train Now for Cinema’s Comeback


TIME magazine recently shared that “the post-pandemic return to the theaters could turn out to be one of the most significant events in the history of watching movies.”

It is quite likely the cinema industry is looking at massive re-openings around the world, enormous revenues, new and improved cinemas, and …a skyrocketing need for trained cinema installers and technicians.

Full Multiplex Experience

In anticipation for this exciting comeback, cinemas are looking to deliver a more immersive experience outside just the movie theater. To do this, they are moving from traditional, hardware-based, fixed-architecture cinema processors to open-architecture software-based solutions.

Q-SYS goes beyond delivering audio to each auditorium to support the theater complex, including background music in the lobby/bar/game room, control for digital signage, lighting, door magnets, and masking motors, and additional AV support for conference rooms, meeting rooms, and special event spaces.

Time for Training

For new technicians/installers and seasoned AV veterans alike, the best way to prep for these upcoming advancements and changes is to learn what it’s all about. That’s where the QSC Training & Education Department comes in!

Our talented content creators, editors, onscreen presenters, and live class facilitators (including me!) represent a uniquely high-level of expertise, technical savvy, and personality that are rare to find in the often dull and complicated worlds of technical, software, and audio training.

Our newest curriculum, Q-SYS Training Level Two for Cinema, is framed around creating a modern cinema audio design that is ready to implement in real-world applications. We teach you how to modify our existing templates as needed to accommodate any variety of amplifiers, loudspeakers, inputs, and outputs for cinema and cinema-like applications.

We cover Immersive Sound, Dynamic Pairing, hot-swapping amps, Core-to-Core Streaming, Plug-ins, Control components, building a custom UCI, and much, much more!

As times change, so is our need to adapt and stay informed. Needless to say, our timing to debut this training couldn’t be better. Join me and your fellow cinema technicians for live remote training and get certified in Q-SYS Training Level Two for Cinema certified today!
