Everything you need to know about renting audiovisuals for graduation events!

The graduation ceremony is a very special event in the lives of students. A special occasion that, incorporating audiovisual equipment, can be transformed into a spectacular event.

This is everything you need to know to successfully integrate audiovisual equipment:


Sound
Graduation ceremonies usually have talks between teachers, tutors and students. Our mission is to amplify the sound so that the public can follow the event with complete clarity.

An event of these characteristics can take place in very varied places, so it is essential to know the place to make a technical visit. Sounding an interior is not the same as an exterior. The same thing happens with the characteristics of the site, because the acoustics, the reflections, or the number of attendees, guide us in the sound.

It is important to have a player for the sound, in addition to the type of microphones or the number and model of the speakers. In this you can play warning messages, or music, or the classic anthem “Gaudeamus Igitur”, which is the university anthem and is usually used to conclude the event.


Lectern
A graduation ceremony usually has a lectern where speeches are held. Professional lecterns are adapted to incorporate microphones, and are easily customizable with the school or university logo. Once the delivery of diplomas begins, it is very practical to be able to read the names of the graduates. Papers can be supported on this and a perfect distance is maintained with the microphones.


Image
These events can be very crowded, and we must allow those present to follow the event in total comfort.
LED screens have become the great allies of graduation ceremonies. There are LED screens that can be used outdoors, withstanding inclement weather. In addition, its composition through modules allows multiple sizes and designs. Despite its spectacular nature, an LED screen can be installed elevated, often making it easier to view.

There are times where the room has columns that prevent the visibility of the central screen, or they are too large and require the placement of support monitors. The support monitors are LED televisions with a raised standing support, which are distributed in strategic places so that the audience can follow the entire event.


Live performance
A live production allows the image of the cameras to be mixed to transmit both the parliaments and the delivery of diplomas on screens. They usually put platforms for the cameras and operators. This allows you to record above people's heads without interference of any kind.

Mobile cameras with links are usually used during the diploma ceremony. This allows the camera operator to move freely, because the signal is emitted without cables.

A live performance allows the event to be recorded with the mixes, posters and sounds, and it is customary to post it online so that the student can remember the event.



Lightning
Professional lighting allows you to change the appearance of the event location. Mainly both the speakers will be illuminated with spotlights destined for the lectern, and the part where the diploma ceremony takes place. Through presets, different light scenes can be memorized where the range of colors, light positions and intensity can be configured.
Certain places have architecture or elements that can be highlighted with lighting, highlighting the overall scenography of the event.

Streaming
Events of this type are usually broadcast in streaming for several factors. The first is that it is customary to take advantage of the live performance of the event for the broadcast, so it is very easy to insert it online. The next factor is that it can be a hybrid event format, where the in-person audience is mixed with the online one. Many spaces do not have capacity for so many people, or family members have agendas that prevent them from being present. The hybrid format is a great solution to be able to participate in the event from anywhere. Furthermore, streaming broadcasting allows the event to be posted on platforms such as YouTube, and to be able to view it immediately, during and once it is over.
