title: Buildup Plan
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|

|
|
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)
