HD.TV Equipment Costs
The equipment we use is very expensive and we need to treat like it is our own. Many pieces can be delicate, especially cables, connectors, pins, etc. These items can be easily damaged which would hinder us during a show and cost real money to fix. If you aren’t sure how something goes together, always ask. It is much better to ask a question than to potentially break something. Make sure you are taking your time to handle equipment properly and safely, especially when setting up and taking down equipment.
