Checklist - Projector Installation

• Project title

• This checklist is intended to provide owners, consultants and integrators with comprehensive verification criteria to determine if the audiovisual system achieves the clients goals or objectives and that the system performs in accordance with the system design. By providing this list to the audiovisual industry, InfoComm is establishing a set of commissioning guidelines to help industry professionals and their clients communicate effectively about their expectations for system performance.
  
  In many projects, not all tests are required for each system or circumstance. Owners and designers can elect to include or exclude certain criteria, as they may not be meaningful for a particular system. In some instance, certain performance capabilities are less critical and therefore stringent review of those capabilities is unnecessary. In other instances certain elements of the system may require more critical review, and the performance of the aspects of systems may need to exceed the general guidelines outlined here. The verification process free system should be an agreed-upon set of tests between the client and the designer.
