Choosing a Location

Place Ojo near your cable or DSL modem and telephone jack.
•
Lighting should illuminate your face as you sit in front of your Ojo screen.
See the lighting tips below for additional information.
Ojo Lighting Tips
Although we do not have the advantage of strategically placing professional
quality lights in our living rooms, there are a few simple things that you can do
to improve the quality of your video image.
Direction, intensity and quality
Find an area of the room where you can place at least two lights on
opposite sides of Ojo. One light should be about two-times as bright as
the other (key light) and both lights should have some sort of shade to
soften the light. Two table lamps placed on each side of the Ojo would
do nicely, or place a desk lamp next to Ojo and a floor lamp on the
opposite side. One lamp should have a 100 watt bulb and the other a 40-
60 watt bulb. Each light source should be placed an equal distance from
the subject. If you stop here, you should be fine.
Avoid strong backlighting
This is where your subject is standing with the sky or a window or white
wall behind them. The camera attempts to compensate for the light
coming in from the back and darkens the image (and the subject) so you
can hardly see their face.
Avoid Lights placed directly in front of the subject
These lights flatten the subject rather than flatter and often cause a big
objectionable shadow in the background. Additionally, frontal lighting
causes a glare when the subject is wearing glasses.
Avoid overhead lighting
These lights, like those in the boardroom, cause shadows that mask the
subject's eyes. Additionally, they often reflect into the camera from the
subject's forehead causing a result similar to strong backlighting.
