Room Testing Procedure

Each room needs to be tested for both audio and visual. In-room and recorded levels will be tested.

There are several notes to remember during the each test:

  • Almost all settings are adjusted remotely, please be patient.

  • Do not change things in-room unless directed by AV-NOC.

  • Please speak using our radio protocol as multiple teams will be working at once

  • When calling in a test please wait for acknologement from AV-NOC and proceed at AV-NOC’s pace.

  • When speaking in the microphone being tested, the goal is for the audio to be loud enough to be heard in a room full of people, but not so loud that it is painful or distorted.

  • Make sure that the camera stand is sufficiently elevated: as high as it can go and still be stable. Typically this is high enough to look over standing audience members (approximately 8 feet).

Additionally, volunteers will need the following equipment:

Testing Audio

There are two microphone channels and one audio feed that need to be tested. Each of these three channels should be tested in-order.

  1. Countryman earset microphone (CH 1) worn over-the-ear

  2. Handheld microphone (CH 2) held pointing at your mouth about 3in away

  3. Audio source (CH 3) played into the 1/8" headphone jack on the podium

For each channel, follow this procedure:

  • ❏ Call into AV-NOC reporting that your room is ready to test channel 1, 2, or 3.

  • ❏ Wait for AV-NOC to confirm to proceed with test

  • ❏ Talk into the microphone or play audio and report if the room audio is "too quiet", or "too loud"

  • ❏ Continue talking as AV-NOC will adjust room levels while you are speaking

  • ❏ Confirm when the room audio is properly set

  • ❏ Continue talking as AV-NOC is now setting recorded levels

  • ❏ Stop talking when AV-NOC confirms that the levels are set

  • ❏ Proceed to next channel.

Testing Video

Testing video requires ensuing that the projector in the room and the recorded feed are both receiving video. To test, follow this procedure:

  • ❏ Plug in an HDMI or HDMI compatible input to the HDMI cord on the podium using optional adapters

  • ❏ Ensure projector projects feed from computer

  • ❏ Call into AV-NOC asking to check remote video feed

  • ❏ Confirm remote feed is as expected with AV-NOC

  • ❏ Press video switcher pushbutton switch one time and ensure feed changed

  • ❏ Press video switcher pushbutton switch one additional time and ensure feed changed back.

Corngradulations, the testing is now done. Please move to the next room as directed by AV-NOC.
