Chapter 2 Cisco TelePresence System 1100 Room Recommendations
Minimum Room and Table Dimensions
•
If you install two CTS 1100 systems in rooms that share a wall, you must not mount the systems on
the same wall; mount the two CTS 1100 systems on separate walls.
• The walls in the room must meet the structural guidelines as specified in the “Important Warnings
and Cautions” section on page 3-1 in Chapter 3, “Assembling and Mounting a Cisco TelePresence
System 1100.”
The following recommendations or guidelines ensures that you have the best possible conferencing
experience:
• A white room is acceptable but not recommended for the best experience. Neutral colors work best
for the floors and walls.
You can use color, décor, and signage in the room to communicate your brand and corporate identity.
Cisco recommends that you do not use colors with high contrast.
For more color information, see the “Room Color Recommendations” section on page 2-3 .
• Normal office lighting is usually sufficient for a good conferencing experience. However, Cisco
recommends that you perform the following actions for the best experience:
–
Use indirect florescent lighting and avoid any direct lighting.
– If your room has windows, install shades to reduce glare, especially for any windows that are
directly behind the participants.
For more information about lighting, see the “Lighting Recommendations” section on page 2-4 .
• The CTS 1100 was designed to well in an office with normal sound levels. Large rooms, or rooms
with high ceilings, can cause echo and reverberation issues. For more information about acoustics,
see the
“Acoustic Recommendations” section on page 2-4 .
