In 2010, I developed an industry standard for audiovisual media networks to eliminate set-up times and make complexity manageable. Since then, I have taught specialists in audio, video and media technology that complex signal networks do not have to be a black box, completely independent of prior knowledge. After my three-day technical seminars, most of them go with a smile and the necessary equipment for the practice of modern media productions. Many then grow far beyond the course, which pleases me.
Great seminar, highly recommended. It is rare for a specialist seminar to consider the cost-effectiveness of various components in a meaningful way and whites, but this is wonderfully implemented at Bodo. The participants are all picked up at their point and useful knowledge is presented in a comprehensible and entertaining way. Thanks, keep it up.

Network technology has been gaining full traction in our industry for several years now, with such a well-structured and easy-to-understand seminar by Bodo and Jonas, you can clearly and easily overcome the fear if you want to start with the topic. And for me as an old rabbit with the attitude ‘learning by doing’, Jonas has filled some knowledge gaps. It does not matter if designer, operator, technician, or planner, everyone should attend the seminar to understand the basics of network technology.

Two days at Bodo simply cover all open question marks on the edited topics. Finally you understand what Dante really can and can't do. Finally, you understand where the possibilities and limits of network technology really lie and how you can use them for yourself and your planning. Bodo draws neatly through the extensive content, but always has an ear and the necessary detour for intermediate questions and understanding problems. You can't invest your time better.
Christian Orth
Bodo's two-day DANTE seminar was absolutely outstanding. The theory was conveyed in a concentrated manner, so that constant thinking was required. Even if the head was smoky after 8 hours, all the important facts were known and really understood. With the practical exercises on the second day, you have the feeling that you are now really able to venture into larger DANTE networks.

I came with little idea but a lot of interest in the topic of network technology and audio network technology. Bodo Felusch has managed to impart his immense knowledge within a very short time and to leave us tools with which we can work sustainably. Bodo Felusch = loose, grounded, to the point, competent. Thank you very much ⁇

This was another seminar that was really fun. Very interesting content and with great practical relevance. Every event technician should really be encouraged to participate, because without this knowledge, you are no longer able to use current and increasingly common systems correctly and reliably. Thank you, for this new and high-quality input, will definitely recommend the seminar!
Daniel Reitemeyer
We use networking technology at events every day. However, we now finally know what to really pay attention to, right down to the small but important settings in network switches. This seminar is a must. Thanks for the great insights! It was certainly one of the most interesting seminars I had attended so far.

Bodo is one of the pleasant, experienced audio colleagues who has now really earned a lot for further education. Born from first need, professionalized in the right way, it has answers to today's technical requirements in the AV industry. And his seminar program offers all interested professionals detailed knowledge. In our industry, we need more and more professionals who can develop highly specialized solutions. And we all need this in-depth knowledge of our material, especially with a lot of experience you can get along in a practical way, but then the decisive foundations are missing – it is wise to improve. I always say healthy half-knowledge is good, but it is not enough to find the solution at the decisive moment. In his trainings you learn important things in detail. This helps to take the decisive step forward in planning or troubleshooting. Every training company should send its specialists to such a course!

A good friend and very good desk man gave me the idea to participate in this seminar. As a freelancer, you honestly think: ‘Huhhh, that's a deep grip in the pocket for a workshop!’. After not so long consideration and the exchange with another colleague, I booked the 2 days but then decidedly for a short time. I have never been particularly interested in computers, networks or the like and am already extremely demanding with the connection of a router at my home. I am all the more aware that sooner or later these ‘white spots on my map’ will mean that I will hardly be able to do demanding jobs in the industry. It's amazing how much new knowledge you can extract from just two days. Thanks to the very comprehensive and clearly structured presentation, the fear of hardly being able to follow the content without profound network knowledge has dissipated directly and I think I have now received a good basic equipment in order to better understand the topic of network in sound technology in the coming weeks, but above all to be able to apply it independently. I will continue to work on this topic in the form of training in the camp, but as soon as possible for the first time, with networks set up by me (and not by colleagues;-)) ) on productions, regardless of whether this would also be ‘conventional’ possible. Thanks to Bodo! I highly recommend this workshop! (...and have already done so;-)))) Daniel Hambuch

Through the Network Technology Level 1 seminar, I have gained a better understanding and handling of many of the background processes and technologies with which I have been in constant contact for a long time in my work and also in private life, and also got to know a lot of new things. By intensively dealing with the subject matter, especially in the aftermath of the seminar, I had many ‘aha experiences’ and now understand much better what happens when I network devices with each other, what pitfalls there are and where I can start troubleshooting even in more complex networks. I appreciate the way Bodo conveys knowledge naturally, funny and unexcited and can only recommend this seminar to everyone without restriction.

Dear VA technicians, I can warmly recommend this seminar to anyone interested. With our start-up Eventnet, we specialised in providing temporary network solutions, but initially focused on guest access and mobile data connections. How deeply the network technology is already rooted in ALL trades, however, became clear to me only at the seminar. Bodo and his colleagues have worked out the (sometimes very complex) contents and, in addition to the theoretical foundations, conveyed practical tips. My conclusion: I found the seminar very inspiring and extremely valuable.
Daniel Weigand
Eventnet UG
By attending the seminar Network Technology for Event Technicians Level-I and II, I was able to create a basis that I can now fall back on in practice. The demystification of matter helps one to reduce reservations and fears and to decide specifically for the use of network technology and the associated advantages. Bodo manages to convey a lot of information within the short seminar time. Using simple and well-chosen examples, links are created that help you to remember what you have learned in the long term. So I can fully recommend the seminar, an absolute top investment!

The seminar has a very good practical part in relation to our daily dealings in network technology. Personally, I was able to use this to my advantage in order to get order in complex systems and to understand basic things when dealing with Dante/Switches and IP address management. I would recommend the seminar to any sound engineer who has to deal with the constant growth of network parts in our audio world. Moving forward in a future-oriented way is the motto!
Dominic Tomazsewski

A really interesting and extensive seminar which I was able to experience two days with Bodo and Jonas! Everything important was discussed, from the basics to the deep ‘engraved’. Personally, I found it very good that despite my booking and my interests in the field of light, the topic of sound was also addressed again and again, since in practice, as a rule, both trades (if not more) share the network. Everything has to work smoothly...! I have even more security now! As a support staff member in the sales department of the LMP, I have to say that - due to the questions I know so well - every event technician will need this seminar as a basis for the coming years in VA technology!

Thanks to Bodo for the great training and in a short and blatant insight into the network world. There are already a lot of question marks in the brain gone ⁇ Absolutely recommended!

Since we invested in LabGruppen and Lake a long time ago, I had already dealt with the matter for a long time. Nevertheless, I still lacked some ideas and background knowledge (especially in the field of network technology) to find or configure the perfect system solution for us. Bodo has taken us a big step forward in all matters. Last but not least, from his practice came good suggestions and know how. His documents are more than detailed, as they represent a good guide in German, especially for Lake users and not ‘native english speaker’, which can be used again and again. Many thanks to Bodo, and his know-how!

With concentrated knowledge, a very rich wealth of experience, passion for the profession and a pinch of wit and charm, Bodo Felusch guides through his seminars and manages to arouse interest, understanding and the desire for the topic in an understandable and simple way among the participants.
Wolfgang Hasler

If you want to understand Lake completely, you have to go to Bodo. He is one of a few knowledgeable freaks who want to share their knowledge and most of all CAN!
Christoph Andrich
Freelance Audio + Consulting
At the end of the two days, the head smokes – in a very, very pleasant way! Bodo Felusch conveys expert knowledge sensibly compressed, purposefully prepared and competently presented – without losing sight of the participants of his courses or the necessary short break. The course content offers a very well-selected cross-section of basics, helpful thinking and working approaches and real specials for the job. The fact that the practical part is not neglected is due to the second day of the course! As network technology in the audio industry will sooner or later not be available, here is a clear recommendation: Let's go! Rating: ***** deluxe!

A real highlight of our Rental Days was the trial course "Network Technology for Event Technicians" by Bodo Felusch. In addition to basic knowledge of what goes with a network and what does not, he showed how mixed networks with audio, light and video work. In addition, Bodo Felusch gave tips on buying the right equipment and presented his rules for a stress-free life with network technology in an entertaining way.

Bodo Felusch knows how to take his training participants with him from the very first minute. First, Felusch introduces the range of Lake Controllers, introduces the operation of the software and rounds it off with practical exercises. Finally, it is presented how to set up your ‘construction sites’ and how to save yourself a lot of furnishing work and thus reach your goal quickly. Ultimately, you learn much faster and more intensively and through a lot of practical orientation also much deeper than by studying the operating instructions. All in all, highly recommended for any system technician who deals with Lake. Lake Controlling from 0 to 100.

Everybody of us has seen Lake on countless event places....but one day You need to know more about it, or even have to work with... This Lake Training I recommend to all who want to start with, or need to work with in future. It gives You the right step in what Lake is in detail, and what it does... Practical exercises explain the various ways of use, and show You the way to continue....

I have attended many seminars and trainings, but this was definitely the best! Pacing was ideal – neither too fast nor too slow. All questions were answered comprehensibly and the analogies for complex topics were excellently chosen. There are absolutely no criticisms!
Leandro Dalmasso
Three days seminar at Bodo – Lots of input, yes, but prepared in such a way that you come along well and do not get out completely. Especially with network topics that seem dry or complicated at the beginning, he manages to break it down until it really makes sense. Very relaxed explained, clearly structured and always with a view to the fact that it can also be used. In the end, you not only have a few new terms in mind, but you also understand how things are related and what matters in practice. Definitely worth it!
Chris Körber
"After three days of seminar with Bodo, you definitely smoke your head – but that's exactly what speaks for the quality of the content. In a very short time, an enormous amount of knowledge is imparted, which is technically sound and at the same time remains practical. I found it particularly strong that even complex and initially rather abstract topics from network technology are explained comprehensibly. Through the calm nature, the clear structure and the different approaches, Bodo manages to make connections really tangible. In the end, you not only take theoretical knowledge with you, but above all a clearer understanding of basic network structures, relationships and working methods. This seminar is an absolute recommendation for all those who work in the event industry and want to develop well in this area.”

Standard & Tools
What I built for my own problems and now pass on
BF-C.O.R.E.® Standard
Base Framework for Converged Operations & Reliable Event-IT
The standard defines VLAN IDs and IP addresses for switches and end devices in every department equipment pool (lighting, audio, video, rigging, and beyond).
Every decision is built around the limits of human memory: after a short ramp-up, the entire scheme can be derived from memory, without looking anything up.
The concept is equally attractive to rental companies, venues, freelancers, and everyone else involved in a production. It works across company boundaries, cuts setup times dramatically, and turns the media network into a real team sport on every show.
One Network. All Trades. Zero Chaos.
The Single Source of Truth for Event-IT
BF-C.O.R.E.® Asset Manager
Manage your switches and every networked device across your department equipment pools. Add automatically calculated IP addresses to item and inventory numbers. Generate the matching Excel and PDF lists that establish, bindingly for everyone involved, which device gets which IP address. Build project sheets that give the production a single overview for distributing the switches to be prepped across rooms and department positions.
BF-C.O.R.E.® Config Generator
Exclusively for participants
Generate standard-compliant switch configurations as text files in the simplest web interface imaginable. Set every parameter a professional media network requires in just a few clicks, and export the matching documentation sheet as a PDF overview. Sequential configurations for multiple switches are one click away, delivered as a zipped bundle.
BF Network Monitor
For any network, standard or not.
Most event networks work fine, right up until they don't. The established network monitoring platforms were built for enterprise environments. The BF Network Monitor shows you the status of your production's event IT without burning setup time. No extra effort required. The auto-generated topology map gives you a real-time status overview and color-codes your trunk links by utilization. The patch map shows you which port belongs to which VLAN, and operators label their own connection ports themselves, straight from their phone.
Professional network monitoring for live events. Simple.
