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.
