Your control room arrives ready.
A high-roof Transit. Switching, recording, graphics, and streaming. It does not have to be built in the room.

Before the van arrives
Make the venue part of the production plan.
A mobile control room is useful only when the site, signal, crew, and destination fit together. Bring what you know; mark the unknowns. The written scope should resolve these five handoffs before the show, not leave them to load-in day.
- 01
Position and access
Where can the van park, when can it load in and strike, and who can approve the position?
Ask to see in the planA marked site plan with the vehicle position, access window, and venue contact.
- 02
Power
Which source and circuit can the production use, and who can confirm its capacity and access?
Ask to see in the planA power plan that names the source, connection, and person responsible for it.
- 03
Cameras and sound
Where are the cameras and house-audio handoff, and what cable routes will the venue permit?
Ask to see in the planA camera plot and signal list with the path back to the control room.
- 04
Connection and destination
Who owns the network or transmission path, where will it be tested, and who controls the destination account?
Ask to see in the planA tested primary path and a separately scoped fallback decision, if the show needs one.
- 05
Crew and final files
Who directs, switches, mixes, records, starts the stream, and accepts each finished feed or file?
Ask to see in the planA responsibility map and output list, including any replay or separate edit.
This is a planning checklist, not a promise that a survey, connection, backup path, or every output is included. Configuration and responsibilities are agreed in the quote.

The control room is the vehicle.
On the truck

Production Van: the practical distinction
What changes when this work is done here.
A freight build of a booth.
The van arrives as the control room.
The workflow
How the van deploys
- 01The siteWhere it has to be, and when. A high-roof Transit. The control room is the vehicle.
- 02The fitSwitcher, graphics, audio, and uplink. What the venue does not have to provide.
- 03The arrivalThe van is the control room. No freight build of a booth.
- 04The showOur crew can call it, or your crew can, if the van is the rental.
Before the quote
Make the site ready for the control room.
The van changes the room only when its parking, cable path, power, people, and outputs are designed with the venue.
- 01
The site
Identify the venue, parking position, power, weather exposure, and the route for camera and audio feeds. Unknowns can be marked for a site review.
- 02
The operating mode
Decide whether LUCA supplies the show crew or your team operates a rented van. That changes the responsibilities in the quote.
- 03
The outputs
List the program feed, graphics, recording, and stream destinations the job requires. Tell us who supplies venue internet or another path out.
What gets scoped
Van configuration, crew mode, site access, signal paths, travel, and dates are quoted together. The vehicle is a control-room option, not a promise that every venue is ready for it.
Before you choose
Questions worth settling before you book.
- How do we know the van fits our venue?
- Check parking and access, vehicle position, cable distance, power, weather protection, loading schedule, and the path from cameras and audio to the control room. Unknowns should trigger a site review before the production plan is finalized.
- Can our crew operate the van?
- The van can be scoped with a LUCA crew or as a rental. The proposal must identify who directs, switches, mixes, records, maintains the signal path, and handles setup and strike in either mode.
- Which feeds and recordings can leave the van?
- List the program feed, graphics, audio mix, recording, stream destination, and any isolated camera feeds you need. The actual outputs depend on the agreed configuration and what the venue can supply.
- Does the van solve a weak venue internet connection?
- It provides a control-room workflow, not a guaranteed network. Name the primary and fallback connection, platform account, test window, and owner of each path before the show.
