Concert streams arrive with folklore. Someone in the truck is sure the encore always hurts the picture. Someone in the gallery is sure the follow-spot has nothing to do with the outbound path. The briefing is the first hour in which those two people look at the same clock.
We ask for cue sheets as well as encoder logs. A cue time that sits on the same minute as a bitrate trough is not proof, but it is a place to put a rust circle. Packet loss that rises with chat is usually a distraction; packet loss that rises with a second follow-spot circuit is a question for the venue electrician, not for the chat moderator.
We do not sit in the gallery. We sit at Pekini Street or in the truck, with paper. The board that leaves is useful only if the gallery can see the circle from their rail. That is why Levan’s letters are large and why we will not add a third line of figures to make the sheet look complete.
