All the things that NERDDISCO needs in order to perform at your event.

Lights are totally optional, if you also want them (mapped to the visuals), please tell me in advance and take a look at the things marked as optional.

Basic

• 1 x table with at least 1m width, 1m depth and 1m height
• 1 x bar stool
• n x bananas (1 banana for each hour performing)
• 1 x multi-plug with at least 3 plugs (Type F, EU)
• 1 x HDMI cable to connect to the projector / TV
• 2 x XLR male or 2 x 6.3 mm jack to receive the stereo audio signal from the audio mixer of the DJ, as this is needed for my audio reactive visuals

Lights

This is totally optional.

• 1 x DMX cable (3 pin XLR male) to connect my DMX512 controller
• floor plan with all fixtures (model + vendor) + their addresses + channels
  • This is delivered at least one week before the event so that the fixtures can be added into my lights software

If the venue is using Art-Net, then I’m not sure if this is working with my setup, I only ever did this once and there it was not working. So in order to be sure that this is fine, we would need at least a check of 3 hours on a different day to confirm that my setup is working. If this is not possible, then I will just do visuals.

Recommended setup

• Venue has projector / TV already in place and I can just connect to this via HDMI
• (optional) Venue has lights (controllable via DMX512) installed and I can just use them

If this is not possible, please contact me at least 4 weeks before the event so that we can plan alternatives

Tech check

• I bring my computer + other gear (MIDI controller, audio interface) at least 2 hours before the event starts
• Check the audio signal with my audio interface
  • It’s required that someone is playing audio while this is happening
• Check the video signal with my visuals software
  • It’s required that the projector / TV is turned on while this is happening
• (optional) Check the DMX signal with my DMX controller
