This is how the work gets done.

Yes, it takes a lot of gear to set up for a RheaCom corporate event.  Before we can send one bit of video data to the Internet for secure streaming, we have to take a large room, (usually with very interesting carpet and hopefully high ceilings) to create a captivating meeting environment.  Drape lines, staging, scenic, theatrical lighting, voice of the theater sound, projection, video village.  If you’re wondering what it takes to set up a room, take a look at this video captured at a recent event courtesy of our partner, Dave Jensen at Live OnLine Television.

Should the responsibility for meetings and events fall into your lap, here’s a few tips:

• Don’t freak out.  It’s going to be fine.
• Pencil hold multiple locations so you don’t get stuck
• Tour the facility
• Bring a technician who can ask good questions about technical capabilities
• Find out if there are any other events happening during your event date (don’t want a loud band playing through the air wall)
• Try the food if you’re serving your attendees
• If you’re booking rooms, find out how far the walk is to the conference room
• Ask if they have done large “television” style video captures before
• Get to know their Internet services provider – make sure they can give you want you need
• Find out what charges will be encored if you don’t hire any of their contract A/V staff
• Make good scale drawings
• Ask about hang points in the ceiling
• Do they have have 3 phase power
• What is the data rate in the room?
• Is the line being shared with other meetings?
