35、NTRODUCTIONWhether to witness a presentation, come to anagreement, execute a plan or collect and otherwiseexchange information, the business meeting is fun-damentally a process of communication. The rise ofconvenient, low-cost video technology has vastlyincreased the effectiveness of long-distance b
36、usiness interchange via the videoconference.Videoconferencing reduces the need to locate peo-ple in the same room, saving time and money.Essentially, it is an advancement over the telephoneconference call, lending the ability to read facialcues and view all manner of visual materials.A videoconferen
37、cing space is any facility whereaudio- and video-based two-way communicationoccurs between a local and remote site(s). Thisincorporates verbal communication supported bylive visual images, as well as the transfer and dis-play of supporting information and data such as doc-uments, spreadsheets, image
38、s and other multime-dia program materials.The fundamental goal for these environments is tofacilitate good communication, both verbal and non-verbal. The video image is part of this dialog, requir-ing that lighting designers recognize the video cam-era as a member of the meeting group. A success-ful
39、 videoconferencing space balances the needs ofthe participants with those of the camera. By under-standing the role of room surfaces and adaptingphotographic and broadcast techniques, traditionallighting design can be modified to simultaneouslydeliver visual comfort, facilitate group interactionand
40、produce high quality video images for remoteparticipants.This Design Guide addresses the technical andpractical requirements for lighting small- to medium-sized, single-camera videoconference spaces usedby ten to twenty participants. Fundamental conceptsare accompanied by recommendations that willas
41、sist practitioners to configure and specify appro-priate lighting systems in the presence of architec-tural and technical requirements specific to video-conferencing projects. It is not the intent of thisGuide to provide cookie-cutter solutions.This Design Guide is written with lighting and designpr
42、ofessionals in mind. However, due to the uniqueand somewhat unforgiving nature of these spaces,the full input of a lighting professional as part of amultidisciplinary design team is strongly recom-mended. Other individuals should find the followinginformation useful and informative.2.0 APPLICATIONS
43、TO MEETING SPACESThis Design Guide addresses single-camera video-conference systems for small audiences. Businesscommunications of this nature typically occur inspaces characterized as small conference rooms.Concepts and criteria presented here are applicableto any video-based communication environm
44、ent.This Guide does not attend to the more complex dis-tance learning facilities, corporate studios or educa-tional broadcast facilities. However, situations thatare more complex will be handled in the forthcomingRecommended Practice edition of this document.2.1 EnvironmentsThe terms local (near end
45、) and remote (far end)reinforce the fact that a videoconference is commu-nication between two or more locations. From theparticipants perspective, local refers to their on-camera location. Remote refers to the location view-ing or receiving their video image. This document,presents guidelines for li
46、ghting the local site only.These environments are often categorized as: dedicated videoconferencing sites conference rooms educational facilities corporate training centers corporate board rooms2.2 RequirementsThe camera lacks the capacity to handle a widerange of luminance, such as can the eye. The
47、 term“luminance” correlates to the perceived brightnessof a surface. Specifically, luminance is the amount oflight in a specific direction emanating from a mea-sured area of any surface (see Glossary). Any sur-face we see has a luminance associated with it; thisis affected by 1) the amount of light
48、falling upon thatsurface, and 2) its reflective characteristics. As anexample, under the same ceiling luminaire, a typicaloffice wall painted white will appear brighter than thesame wall painted gray. Under the same amount oflight by virtue of its higher reflectivity, the white wallwill produce a gr
49、eater luminance than the gray wall,and will appear brighter. This has profound effects inthe videoconferencing environment, for the eyetakes these differences in stride. The video camera,however, does not.2IESNA DG-17-05As such, the video camera changes the way wedesign lighting in a videoconferencing location.Typical design requirements and visual tasks mustbe split into human and camera subgroups. Humanrequirements will influence what people see andhow they feel during the meeting. Camera require-ments affect the quality of the video image seen bythe remote participants.Participant
