• Acoustics

  The Science The raised voice is known as Lombard speech. The speech’s pitch and level increases leading to voice stress and fatigue. It is assumed to start at a speech level of 55dB(A) SPL. Background (ambient Noise Magic Number!) - background noise level of 45 dB(A). Check for symptoms of bad acoustics Check for symptoms of bad acoustics.

• Lighting

  More modern fixed Lens cameras with Digital Zoom are more susceptible to lighting issues, due to the smaller optics/Iris Levels Generally a good light colour temperature is 4000 kelvin, but consider increasing this number if you depend mostly on daylight as your light source. A colour-rendering index (CRI) of 80 or better is important. Avoid mixing technologies such as fluorescent and LED because their colour profiles differ. Colours Neutral Grey coloursFew readers

• Table

  • To enable everyone at the table to see the screen, the table width should be slightly wider than the system / screen(s). • The Field of View (FoV) of the cameras dictates that the distance (D) between table and system should not be less than 0.7 times the width (W) of the table front. • We recommend using a slightly slanted table when there are three or more participants seated on the long side of a table. It should be wider on the end closest to the system so that everyone can see tFew readers

• Microphones

  • Use omnidirectional microphones along the center line of the table. • One microphone generally covers four people. • The microphone closest to the system should be placed approximately 5-20in (0.13-0.50m) from the table end. • Spacing between microphones should be about 45-60in (1.15-1.50m), and a maximum of 45 in (1.15m) from participants.Few readers

• Screens

  Recommendations • Typically, the optimal viewing distance for video and normal content is one to four times the diagonal of the screen. For example, the optimal viewing distance for a 55-inch screen is between 4 ft 7 in 18 ft 4 in (1.4–5.6 m). Additionally, the following can influence the maximum viewing distance: • Displays should have High-Definition Multimedia Interface Consumer Electronics Control (HDMI-CEC) support so the codec is able to turn on the display when resuFew readers
