As well as being among the most important and influential multimedia and training organisations in France, the Institut National de L’audiovisuel (Ina) has been one of the top European training centres for A/V and, more recently, the digital media professions for nearly 40 years.
With a remit that includes custodianship of France’s radio and television archives and co-productions with broadcasters throughout the world, it relies heavily on its Ina Expert facility to train 5,500 students and professionals each year. Its recent investment in Yamaha’s flagship Nuage audio postproduction system underlines this commitment.
Yamaha and Ina Expert have been education partners since 2005, with the organisation now serving as Yamaha France’s official training partner for Nuage. This was revealed at a jointly-organised Pro Audio Forum in east Paris, which attended by over 100 audio consultants, operators and integrators.
The two-day event saw Yamaha and Steinberg product specialists working with Ina Expert’s trainers to present a series of seminars and workshops. Key parts of the training included the features and use of Nuage and Nuendo 6, Dante audio networking, CL series consoles and specialist tools like the DUGAN-MY16 automixing card, MY4-AEC echo cancelling card and the AFC3 Active Field Control system.
The event also announced the dates of the first Nuage course, a five-day session being held from 16-20th December 2013, with a five-day Nuendo 6 course from 14-18 October, and a ten-day September course on audio mixing for documentary and drama.
‘Yamaha and Ina Expert share the values of innovation, cross-functional skills and expertise in audio and A/V technology,’ says Fabien Saadoun, Sales & Marketing Manager (Commercial Audio) at Yamaha France. ‘We are committed to working together to developing the best skills in the industry, with Yamaha digital audio systems fully integrated within high quality solutions.’
