Key takeaway
Ask any LED screen rental vendor whether they own the equipment, which exact models they will supply, who operates the show, what spares travel with the rig, how a power failure is handled mid-show and whether the quote is itemised. Specific, confident answers signal a company that has actually done it.
Key takeaways
- Owned inventory beats sub-renting
- Exact model numbers, not categories
- Meet the engineer, not only the salesperson
- Get spares and failure plans in writing
Questions worth asking
Equipment
- Do you own this equipment or sub-rent it for each job?
- What exactly will you supply for typical pitch?
- What exactly will you supply for legibility rule?
- What exactly will you supply for standard formats?
- When was it last serviced, and can I see it before the event?
People
- Who is the vision mixer on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the LED technician on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the signal engineer on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the presentation operator on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
- Who is the delay position technician on my event, and how many shows have they run this year?
Risk
- How do you handle this: a presenter's deck is 4:3 or uses 12 pt body text and is illegible from row twenty?
- How do you handle this: imag video arrives before the delayed audio at a far position and lip-sync looks broken?
- How do you handle this: a long copper hdmi run to a delay screen works at build and drops out when the sun hits the cable?
- How do you handle this: the outdoor screen is unreadable by mid-afternoon because it was specified at indoor brightness?
- How do you handle this: the backup playback machine is a slide behind when the primary fails during a live cut?
- How do you handle this: side screens are hung where the stage lighting rig blocks sightlines from the flanks?
Commercials
- Is the quote itemised by equipment, crew, transport and power?
- Is the figure before or after 18% GST?
- What is the advance, and what is the cancellation policy?
- What is explicitly not included?
