32、ard a group of seated participants. The Standard provides guidance to professionals involved in the design, construction, assessment, and support of videoconferencing environments by establishing performance criteria for the design and testing of room lighting and finishes that will provide appropri
33、ate picture quality. 1.1 KeywordsAudiovisual, AV, camera, conferencing, distance learning, fill light, illuminance, key light, light meter, lighting, luminaire, luminance, meetings, teleconferencing, telepresence, video, videoconferencing, video teleconference (VTC).2.0 FOREWORDThe human face, as we
34、 see it with our eyes, has a three-dimensional appearance. This helps us to read the nonverbal cues that are so important in communication. The primary goal of a videoconference space is to facilitate both verbal and nonverbal two-way communication. Therefore, the lighting provided in the space shou
35、ld balance the visual needs of the participants and the videoconference camera.Lighting requirements for the participants and the camera are similar but not identical. The primary considerations for participants include: Visual comfort (control of direct light source or glare) Glare-free view of vid
36、eo displays and visual tasks (control of veiling reflections) Video image contrast Ability to see and interact with both local and remote participants Ability to read and send gestures and both verbal and nonverbal cues Ability to read and write (i.e., take notes), both on horizontal surfaces (table
37、s) and vertical surfaces (e.g., white boards, interactive digital displays, computer displays) The primary considerations for the camera include: Illumination On the faces of participants, with appropriate contrast ratios for rendering of facial features For image capture and transmission of visual
38、aids, including marker boards, display boards, and documents Appropriate contrast between participants and surrounding room surfaces View of participants Luminaires out of camera view Daylight eliminated from view Video displays placed out of camera view Lighting and finishes that reduce image degra
39、dationThis Standard defines measurable luminance-based performance criteria for optimizing the participants experience. These criteria should be used in designing, commissioning, and evaluating applicable videoconference rooms. While this performance standard is not a design guide, some design resou
40、rces are referenced that support the creation of videoconferencing environments.This Standard addresses performance criteria and is written with lighting and audiovisual (AV) design professionals in mind. However, due to the unique nature of these spaces, the full input of a lighting professional as
41、 part of a multidisciplinary design team is strongly recommended when this Standard is applied to design projects.Nothing in this Standard suggests or implies that any national, state, or local codes pertaining to lighting and electrical energy may be disregarded in pursuit of compliance.3.0 SCOPE,
42、PURPOSE, APPLICATION, AND EXCLUSIONS3.1 Scope This lighting performance Standard for small-to-medium-sized videoconferencing rooms defines lighting requirements for videoconferencing that enhance the comfort of participants and the picture quality delivered. Specifically, this Standard addresses sma
43、ll-to-medium-sized single-axis videoconferencing rooms. A single-axis room is defined as having one set of video displays and cameras oriented toward a group of 3 to 25 seating locations (see Figure 1). 2ANSI/IES/AVIXA RP-38-17of displays, presenter, and task area Optimize lighting for cameras, ther
44、eby improving the images transmitted to remote sites Enhance videoconference communication capabilities, comfort, and productivityThe intended result is that lighting in new and existing videoconference rooms will be built, evaluated, and upgraded when necessary according to this performance standar
45、d.3.3 ApplicationThe Standard is intended for use by those who initiate, design, build, evaluate, and support videoconference environments, including: Architects and interior designers Lighting consultants, lighting integrators, and lighting equipment suppliers AV designers, AV consultants, AV integ
46、rators, and AV equipment suppliers Contractors, equipment manufacturers, and integrators Technology managers and videoconference users Real estate, workplace, and facility specialists Executives, corporate services, and purchasing departmentsDual-axis and multi-axis rooms have two or more orientatio
47、ns beyond the primary seating area. These include distance education and training rooms that have separate cameras directed toward a presenter location, in addition to cameras directed toward the seating area.This Standard may be applied to multi-axis rooms, but only for the axis from the camera(s)
48、at the front of the room to the primary participant seating area. Presenter locations and other areas of these rooms are not covered within the scope of this Standard. Multi-purpose spaces can include videoconferencing as well as other functions that may require different, and sometimes conflicting,
49、 lighting requirements. When adding or building videoconferencing technology into these environments, the lighting performance criteria defined in this Standard should be applied to the videoconferencing functionality whenever possible.3.2 PurposeThe purpose of this Standard is to provide measurable lighting performance criteria that support the following primary goals in a videoconferencing environment: Provide minimum lighting performance requirements for optimum participant viewing Figure 1.
