PRE-FLIGHT VERIFICATION

Rehearsal Checklists & Synchronization Gates

Structured operational protocols to validate every intercom channel, video matrix link, RF microphone, and presentation timeline before go-live.

Verification Protocols

Run-Through Gateways

Deterministic pre-flight checkpoints, live failover handoffs, and stage clock synchronization.

Checked: 0 / 9
Gate 01 Audio & Intercom Backbone

Sub-millisecond Comms Loop Isolation

Verify discrete channels for Director, Stage Manager, Deck Ops, and ProPresenter operator without bleed or AGC compression.

T-120 Min
Gate 02 Video Switcher & Genlock

Frame Sync and Auxiliary Routing Verification

Lock all SDI and NDI input clocks to central sync; confirm program, preview, and multi-view latency under 1.5 frames.

T-100 Min
Gate 03 Display Walls & Foldback

Downstage Confidence Monitor Map Check

Validate stage-facing visual clocks, speaker countdown timers, lower-third cues, and teleprompter font legibility.

T-90 Min
Gate 04 Cue Timeline Execution

Opening Sequence Audio-Visual Handoff

Simulate black-out to intro video roll; confirm auto-trigger pulse between ProPresenter timeline, lighting desk, and house audio.

T-60 Min
Gate 05 Keynote Deck & Remote Clicker

RF Transmitter Range & Video Playback Lock

Walk entire downstage envelope with dual RF handsets; verify slide advance response, video play embedded triggers, and keying.

T-45 Min
Gate 06 Stage Lighting Cues

Podium to Demonstration Key-Light Tracking

Rehearse luminaire balance across color temperatures (5600K broadcast standard), confirming camera face exposure consistency.

T-35 Min
Gate 07 Redundant Host Machine

Seamless Video Matrix Hot-Swap

Simulate primary graphics server severance; trigger matrix router switcher cut to mirrored standby machine under 200 milliseconds.

T-25 Min
Gate 08 Audio Backup Channels

Spare Lavalier RF Auto-Mute Handshake

Inspect secondary capsule RF channel, battery telemetry thresholds, and front-of-house automated fader takeovers.

T-15 Min
Gate 09 Broadcast Stream Ingest

Primary & Backup Encoder Health Probe

Measure RTMP/SRT stream bitrate stability, keyframe intervals, and standby slate auto-trigger thresholds.

T-05 Min
Tolerance Horizon
±0.25s

Maximum cue deviation tolerance for multi-channel synchronized timeline triggers.

Failover Switching
< 180ms

Hot-standby matrix cutover without perceptible drop frames on house projectors.

Gate Enforcement
100%

Mandatory sign-off threshold before house doors unlock and countdown starts.
