When it is the first time working on internet distributed performances, people need to know basic terminology about some technological devices of audio and video. It is mandatory to be accustomed to using them and avoiding misunderstandings or delays when we are setting up a performance. These are some of the most important elements to be used in set-ups.
Firewire wires: The firewire connects external electronic devices to a computer. There are two kinds of firewire cables: 800 and 400

VGA wires and connectors: These are the monitor connectors and wires
for computer, laptops, TV's, etc. VGA connectors

Audio mixer: The audio mixer can mix several audio inputs, select and send them to an output, simultaneously or separately. Our audio mixer has 16 channels. Using it, it is possible to adjust sound quality in different ways such as volume, feedback removal; select stereo, double mono, mono amplifier, etc.; and many other features.

Video Distribution Amplifier (VDA): This takes in one input video feed and splits it so it can go to multiple devices simultaneously.
Switch: There are different kind of switches. We are using video and VGA switches. A switch takes two inputs and decides which input to feed through to the output; or it takes in one input and decide which of its outputs to send to.
