General Thoughts
Green (popular but not solutions except for maybe Greenguard label for projection screens)
- Making room multi-purpose
- match projection screen with size type and orientation of room
- using window film or automatic shades to adjust for time of day and brightness
- Using screens that don’t off-gas and are recyclable
- They start green AV specialty interest group
- remote maintenance
- telecommuting!!!!
- current A/V has false power consumption how do we test for real power consumption
- automatically turning things off
- maximizing lower wattage solutions (projection and audio)
Future of AV
- Consumer electronics driven especial the interfaces that people are expecting
- unlimited bandwidth (download HD movie in 3 seconds)
- prevalence of wireless
- bandwidth as necessary utility(water, gas, electricity, bandwidth)
- Second life as a place for AV gathering
Projection Screen Designing
- Screen Gain
- viewing cone
- ambient lighting
- brightness, contrast
- front vs. rear
- standardizing lumens
