Layout Considerations
• Avoid having large, moving objects,
especially people, behind the participants,
as the quality of the picture transmitted to
the remote party will deteriorate.
• Do not seat participants in front of a wall
with fine stripe patterns.
• Choose a room where echo will not occur.
• 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 the speakers used for an in-house
broadcasting system.
Lighting Considerations
Do not point the camera toward a window
where sunlight comes in as back lighting
may decrease the contrast. If it is necessary,
cover the window with a thick curtain.
