SSC 220 Theater Tech Rack (front and back connections)
Front Floor pocket
The Theater tech rack may be connected to one of two floor pockets in the room. One floor pocket is located near the stage in the center section of chairs. The other floor pocket is in the center section of chairs on the mezzanine floor level.
The wiring that needs to be connected in the floor pocket from the tech cart is labeled. Match the floor pocket connection to the labeled wire from the tech cart. All wires must be plugged in to work properly. There are more XLR connections in the front floor pocket than there are cables coming from the tech rack. Only connected the labeled XLR cables.
Once all the connections have been made, the av system should be tested. Turn on the projector, lower the screen, log into the computer, test the computer audio to the room, and then test the microphones to make sure everything is working normally. If the audio is not working correctly, see instructions below.
220 Mics
The room should have one lav and one handheld mic in the room. (The handheld is kept in a bag on cart beside the rack) . The mics must be on different frequencies to work correctly in the room.
The room can support the following combinations:
One lav and one handheld mic
Two lavs and/or two handhelds.
The extra mics that make these combinations possible are kept in TYL 110 at Rich's desk hutch.
NEVER PUT TWO MICS WITH THE SAME NUMBERS IN A ROOM FOR USE at the same time. Doing so will cause the system to malfunction. Remove the extra mics from the room to prevent possible mic conflicts during a meeting. Store them in TYL 110 until the meeting is over.
Restore the room to normal after meetings requesting special mic set ups are over.
SSC 220 Laptop Set Up for Guest on Stage
Items needed:
HDMI tester
HDMI cable(s)
If an HDMI cable is requested for a speaker on stage, a flexible cable can easily be run from their location to the tech cart if the cart is located in the front of the room. If the cart is located in the back of the room, the distance makes it more challenging. The distance from the stage to the back of the room is between 40-50 feet. We do not at this time own a single cable that will span that distance. We do own several 25 ft cables that can be joined to span the distance. (There is one cable that can be found on the peg board that has a male-female connection). These cables should span the distance between the stage and the cart and then be taped down for safety. The HDMI cable at the cart would be plugged into the tech cart and selected as the Laptop HDMI on the touch panel.
An alternative wiring scheme
If an Extron transmitter (Tx) and receiver (Rx) are available, the computer on the stage would be connected with a shorter HDMI cable to the TX. A 50 ft (or longer) Cat 5e cable would span the distance between the Tx and an Rx located by the tech cart. A HDMI cable would then connect the Rx to the input on the tech cart.
After wiring the connection (whichever method you choose) use the HDMI tester to verify the connection. Turn on the tester and wait for an image or test signal to appear on the local screen or projection screen.
