====== Multiple Camera Production ======
When setting up for a multi-camera production, remember to:
  - BREATHE
  - Take a look at your surroundings, 
    - where do the best sight lines exist? Put a camera there.
  - Don't be afraid to ask for help

  - Find power, run a single AC extension power cord to from the wall socket to the Director's Base.
    - Connect an AC multi-outlet power strip to the extension cord
      - Be sure to leave one outlet open on the power strip, this is in case you need to daisy chain power strips together.

====== Audio Box ======
  * Three (3) Power plugs should come out of the audio box

  - Test Audio by plugging headphones into the **Shure Board**. {{ :location_setups:audiobox-testaudio02.jpg?200 |}}
  - Test Audio by plugging headphones into the **ATMOS Recorder** (found in Video Box), (bottom jack).

  * Plug audio inputs into the Alesis board first, then if overflow is needed plug into the Shure board.
    * **Shure Board**: Input 1 is reserved for overflow from the Alesis board.

====== ARE YOU READY TO RECORD? ======
After everything is connected, follow the checklist:
  * Do you have Video?
  * Can you talk to your camera operators?
    * Can your operators hear you?
    * Can you hear your operators?
  * Can you hear the audio clearly and cleanly?
  * Have you numbered your cameras?
  * Do your operators know which camera they are?

If you can answer yes to all of the above questions, then you are ready to record.
