Course Purpose

This course provides the skills necessary to efficiently design and configure ControlNet-capable hardware and software into an effective control network. Students gain these skills from the ground up, practicing each step in the design and configure process from choosing the correct cable to configuring the connections that will transmit data across that cable.

After completing this course, students will have designed a ControlNet media system that will serve as the backbone of their network and will have configured ControlNet-capable hardware to behave as a deterministic and repeatable control network. More importantly, students will have configured data connections between devices that transmit data where they need it, when they need it.

Who Should Attend

Individuals who are responsible for designing and configuring a new ControlNet network or managing and modifying an existing ControlNet network should attend this course.
