THX has home theater certification (and training?) in California.

They also have video calibration.

Those are two knowledge sets I'd love to get, but not by going to California.

Can anyone suggest books, classes, or videos that will teach me this skills?

Thanks.

Your best bet is to read SMPTE, Dolby and THX materials on the subject along with color science and sound reproduction information. Having good measurement equipment and test material is also required.

Toole: "Sound Reproduction" is exceptional


F. Alton Everest's: "Master Handbook of Acoustics" is a great beginners step into acoustics.


And as far as video, there is only one bible: Poynton's "Digital Video and HDTV: Algorithms and Interfaces."
