The Digital Imaging Technician (DIT) is a fast-evolving on-set role with ever increasing responsibilities. In the film world this function would have been carried out by the Clapper Loader, but in Digital Cinema the role has expanded immensely.

This two-day seminar and workshop was aimed at existing professional camera crew, as well as post-production personnel such as data wranglers, who need digital imaging and data management skills to increase their employment prospects.

On Day One of the course, the attendees received theoretical training in a diverse range of subjects, including image capture, quantization, digital theory, camera chip formats, the meaning of RAW, colour separation, true resolution, gamma and log processing, compression schemes and pitfalls, recording systems, file formats, storage operating systems, workflows, metadata and logistics. On Day Two, they enjoyed practical hands-on experience with products from several supporting organisations, such as ARRI Alexa cameras, Codex onboard recorders, Assimilate Scratch Lab and YoYotta "dailies" software.
