title: Buildup Plan
---
See <https://github.com/voc/checklists/blob/main/source/buildup.pdf>
This guide will only cover the "physical" buildup and not how to apply the [configuration management](https://github.com/voc/cm/tree/master/bundlewrap).
## Preparation
Before you start carrying things around in the room, please determine the following things:
- Where are the projector input and audio inputs located?
- Where is the network uplink located?
- Where are the emergency exits?
- Where are power outlets?
- Where is a good place for the FOH position (camera, FOH module and mixer laptop)?
* shall have a good view of the stage
* cables shall not create trip hazards in emergency exits
## Buildup
With these questions in mind, you can start distributing the eqipment.
### Stage
- Take the following items to the stage:
* lectern module
* 1 Schuko to TRUE1 cable
* 2 HDMI cables (one for projector, 3m for speaker laptop)
* 1 3m Cinch to 3.5mm jack cable
* speaker adapters crate/ bag
* battery charger crate
* microphone crate(s)
- Place the lectern module somewhere convenient on its bottom or side (not on the back b/c of spilled drinks)
- Connect to power and projector
- Connect HDMI and 3.5mm jack cable and place on lectern
- Start charging the first batch of batteries
!!! info ""
Do not turn on microphones until a frequency scan was made
### FOH/ Camera
At small events we usually place the camera right next to the FOH and video mixer position so that the setup can be operated by a single person just in case.
If we're sure that enough helpers are present, the camera can also be placed somewhere else.
- Take the following items to the FOH position:
* FOH module
* 1 Schuko to TRUE1 cable + schuko extension cord, if needed
* Mixer laptop crate
* Headphones (DT 770)
* Encoder module
* 1 Schuko to C13 cable (aka "Kaltgerätekabel")
* 2 1.5m ethernet cables
* 1 2m SDI cable
- Place the FOH module on a desk and the mixer laptop next to it
- Connect FOH module to power (use extension cord, if needed)
- Power the encoder from the FOH module, connect SDI and ethernet to FOH module
* FOH "SDI out" to Encoder "Slides"
* Ethernet to any "VOC" port
- Place mixer laptop, connect power and ethernet to FOH module
- If power supply is properly laid down, power up the FOH module, laptop and encoder
- Load the default scene on the audio mixer
For the camera:
- Take the following items to the FOH position:
* Tripod
* Camera crate
* 1 2m HDMI cable
* 1 3-way power strip
* 2 XLR cables (long enough to reach FOH module)
* 1 SDI cable (long enough to reach FOH module)
* 1 ethernet cable (long enough to reach FOH module)
- Setup tripod
- Mount preview monitor on tripod
- Place camera on tripod
- Connect devices to power
- Connect camera to preview monitor
- Connect to FOH module with XLR (Aux 1+2) and ethernet (any "VOC" port)
- Connect SDI to encoder ("Cam 1" input)
### Cabling Between FOH and Stage
To finish the setup, we need to connect the Lectern and FOH modules:
- 1 SDI cable between lectern "Slides" output and FOH "SDI in"
- 1 ethernet cable between lectern "trunk" port and FOH switch port 24
The following steps are depending on the room:
- Connect the **main mix** of the audio mixer at the FOH module with the audio input of the room using 2 XLR cables as well as DI boxes if needed
- Connect to the house network:
* if a VOC VLAN exists: Connect a "VOC" port of the lectern module **or** the FOH module to the locations's network
* if no VOC VLAN exists:
+ Connect a "public" port of the lectern module **or** the FOH module to the locations's network
+ connect the router's "WAN" port to a "public" switch port on the FOH switch and any of the router's LAN ports to any "VOC" port on the FOH switch
Also see the [cabling plan](cabling.md) for a detailed view of the signal paths.
## Configuration
To finish setting up the lecture room:
- Test if internet is reachable
- Apply the [configuration management](https://github.com/voc/cm/tree/master/bundlewrap)
- Run a frequency scan using Shure Wireless Workbench
- Assign frequencies
- Check video and audio inputs, see [daily stage bootup](../checklists/avtech-daily.md)
