Layout Considerations
• Avoid allowing large, moving objects, especially people behind the
participants; the quality of the local transmission will deteriorate.
• Do not seat participants with fine line patterns in front of a wall.
• Choose a place which is echo-free.
• Do not install the system near noise sources such as air conditioners or
copy machines.
• Avoid placing the system in a room where there are speakers used for an
in-house broadcasting system.
Lighting Considerations
• Do not point the camera towards a window as back lighting may wash out
the contrast. Cover any windows with a thick curtain.
Avoid light from outside
• Adjust room lighting so that it falls on the participants. Avoid direct light
on the TV monitor. Light intensity on faces should be about 300 lx or
more.
Light should fall on participants; not the TV monitor.
• If an inverter type or brightness-adjustable type of fluorescent lamp is
used, the sensitivity of the Remote Commander may deteriorate and the
audio unit may be affected by noise. In such lamps are used, change the
position of the Remote Commander or the location of the microphone.
