Checklist

Before rehearsal

Use it with or without ShowReady. The items marked on site need people and the real system.

Run of show

  • Every cue has an activity and, where it plays media, a named file.
  • Start times and durations are set, with the unit clear (seconds or minutes).
  • Speaker names and titles match the latest agenda.
  • Walk-in, walk-out and holding loops are listed as cues.

Media

  • Every named file is in the package, with the final version clearly identified.
  • No two files could be mistaken for the same cue (FINAL, v2, NEW).
  • Video resolution and frame rate match the screen specification.
  • Audio is present where the cue needs it, and absent where it must be silent.

Presentations

  • Decks use the agreed slide size.
  • Fonts are embedded or installed on the show machines.
  • Embedded videos are supplied as separate files too.

On site

  • Play every file once on the actual playback system; ShowReady does not do this for you.
  • Check loudness on the house system.
  • Keep an exported run of show printed and offline.
