Load-in 裝台
The period when the production arrives at the venue and goes up: trucks unloaded, rig hung, set built, systems powered and tested. The load-in schedule is the document every department negotiates over, because there is only one stage and everyone needs it first.
中文
製作進場、把演出裝起來的時段：卸貨、掛燈、搭景、開電測試。裝台進度表是各部門最常爭的文件，因為舞台只有一個，每個部門都想先用。

Easy to get wrong
Australian and New Zealand crews say bump-in. It sounds like the lighting term bump and has nothing to do with it.
香港的「入台」涵蓋整段進場期間，臺灣的「裝台」比較偏實際搭建的動作，兩者不完全等同。
Load-in is not fit-up. Fit-up is assembling the set once it is in the room; the load-in is the whole arrival including dock time and unloading.
