HowToAV.tv - free online training videos for AV professionals

Brought to you by CIE AV Solutions, HowToAV.tv is the one-of-a-kind online training channel for AV professionals, providing free educational videocasts on the latest audio visual technologies, techniques and installation tips from our team of AV experts and independent industry thought leaders & consultants.

Keeping it short

HowToAV understands that we are all busy people and investing time in training courses is not always possible. So we've developed a channel of training videos with an eye on keeping it short and to the point! Online video viewing habits are very different to how we consume television or face-to-face training, so we're focussed on delivering the clearest and most concise answers possible.

Interactive training content

We like to keep the channel fresh, so HowToAV.tv is interactive. AV professionals, AV users and channel viewers are encouraged to submit training theme requests and technical queries via the video Comments section and our AV experts will always provide an answer. And these Q&As will often provide the subject for our very next video.

What kind of training is available?

We cover a whole range of technology subjects, from HDMI and HDBaseT, HDCP and EDID, the latest in High Dynamic Range and Bio-Adaptive Lighting, to specialist audio subjects such as 100v line, microphone feedback avoidance and Soundfield, to the latest connectivity technologies such as USB3.1 and NFC.

Free, unbiased and no sales-pitch!

CIE and our HowToAV experts know that AV technology moves on fast and so to ensure that great products and great systems are successful, training is absolutely essential for everyone involved. So our HowToAV channel is free to everyone and guarantees totally unbiased information and training from the AV industry's best technology experts and without the hidden sales pitch!
