In [[theatrical production]]s, the '''channel hookup''' is a printout of a lighting database such as [[Lightwright]] that organizes all the lighting information for a stage show by the channel number associated with the lighting equipment and limits the information associated with a particular lighting instrument such that a designer or electrician can access needed information rapidly and efficiently.<ref>http://thelightingarchive.org/learn.php {{Dead link|date=February 2022}}</ref>

Lighting equipment is often organized by [[lighting system]] thereby granting coherence to consecutive channel numbers. Channels 1 through 10 might be [[Frontlight]] while 21 through 30 could be [[Sidelight]] from left. In Repertory [[Opera]] and other large venues channel numbers are often granted to lighting equipment by position as the purpose of the light will change from show to show.

A Channel Hookup will commonly include Channel, Dimmer, Color, Template and Purpose information.
