Technical support of events is a whole complex of interconnected processes and elements used during a concert or a mass holiday. The main task of specialists in this field is to ensure the correct location and operation of stage structures, sound, light, video projectors, etc. Technical support is considered a complex task, the success of which can be achieved only with the coordinated work of the entire team of professionals who solve it.
Firstly, it is necessary to correctly mount the whole complex of stage constructions that are required for a spectacular and full-fledged show. At this stage, the technical support includes the installation of towers for sound equipment, control panels, structures for hanging screens, decorations, banners, billboards, banners. To do all this, you need to correctly (taking into account the composition of the equipment, the power of the equipment, the surrounding space) plan the location of all of the above. And taking into account the fact that the venues of various shows are constantly changing, it is not easy to fully and accurately take into account all the nuances.
In this regard, technical support is a creative process, and even more - an art. If you do something wrong, the viewer will definitely notice. One of the most important goals, the achievement of which should guarantee technical support, is high-quality sound. It should be clean, powerful and harmoniously lie in the surrounding space. Sound portals can be of two types: for floor sound and for a linear array. If an indoor stage is used, then rulers for suspension based on two additional pillars can be used. The height and horizontal location of the acoustics, its power, frequency range should be pre-planned by sound specialists. Without this, installation never starts.
Technical support includes the installation of a control room (a booth where the workplaces of the lighting director and sound engineer are placed). As a rule, it is placed in front of the stage at a distance of 20-25 m. Often it is placed at several levels, and video equipment, driving searchlights, etc. are installed at the top of it. Equally important in this matter is the installation of fences, devices and communications for supplying and distributing electricity at the site, power barriers, auxiliary facilities (tents, tents). Additionally, at the request of the organizers of the events, equipment for a laser show can be installed, light decoration of the entire area for walks can be made.
At the same time, one of the factors that significantly complicates all this is the tight deadlines for all work. Without a well-thought-out organization of logistics, clear planning, the installation of the necessary equipment may be in jeopardy. In addition, a certain sequence of all work must be observed, since the installation of some structures can only follow after others have been put in place. It is also necessary to take into account energy capabilities: will there be enough capacity, how to provide additional power. And we must not forget that all expensive equipment must be protected from theft and vandalism.
