Study Notes
Live Events and Equipment Management
- Vision systems and connected devices require powering down between events, regardless of duration.
- For 'one-off' events, the process remains similar but includes preparing equipment for transport.
Equipment Disconnection and Preparation
- Initial focus when preparing for transport is on safely disconnecting cables.
- Careful handling of cables is crucial to prevent damage to connectors; tagged damaged connectors should be set aside for repairs.
- Cables should be rolled up using the ‘over-under method’ to avoid stress and knots, ensuring proper storage.
Packing and Equipment Inspection
- All equipment must be packed into proper transport cases, with thorough checks for damage and maintenance needs before packing.
- Documentation of any damage or maintenance requirements is essential and should be forwarded for action.
Handling Considerations
- Vision system components, including delicate items like digital projectors and microphones, are fragile and expensive; hence, they require careful handling at all stages.
- Delicate equipment should be transported in padded cases, while more robust items like stands can use appropriate cases or bags.
Clean-Up and Logistics
- After dismantling, any rubbish in the work area must be cleaned and disposed of properly.
- Venue-owned furniture, such as tables and chairs, must be cleaned and stored according to venue management instructions.
