Vision systems fundamentals

You will:

• explore vision system equipment, cables and connectors

• experiment with projector functions

• apply vision system procedures and processes

• explore vision system production documentation

• explore elements of safety when working with vision systems

• discuss knowledge and understanding of vision systems in production.

Welcome to this @The Arts Unit Creative Class on vision system fundamentals.

Lessons 1 and 2 explores vision system equipment, processes, procedures and documentation.

Lesson 3 has further extension activities for VET Entertainment students.

Each lesson has theoretical and practical components for you to complete.

You must ensure you understand and apply basic electrical theory to the set-up and operation of vision systems.

Key terms include:

• energised circuit - Electrically connected to or having a source of voltage.

• de-energised circuit - Free from any electrical connection to a source (disconnected).

• voltage is the difference in charge between two points.

• current is the rate at which charge is flowing.

• resistance is a material’s tendency to resist the flow of charge (current).
