2.18 Environmental Effects on Audio Visual
2.18.1 Lighting
A number of the RMIT AVS designs contain the capability for Lecture Capture and Video Conferencing. These
spaces need special consideration given to the overall impact of both natural and artificial light on the quality of
the imagery being captured. The rooms standard lighting design may need to be adjusted to suit the intended
capture area or have additional specialised lighting included.
The room may also need to have the natural lighting controlled via blinds. The preferred install would have
motorised blinds that can be controlled via the rooms AV system. When a room function that involves cameras
is selected the lights would call up the preconfigured scene.
The needs of each space should be considered on a case-by-case basis to ensure the user experience and
functionality is kept at a high standard.
2.18.2 Audio
Consideration should given to wall and floor treatments when an audio visual system is installed to ensure a
high level of quality is achieved. The DSP configuration may not be enough to make some spaces acceptable
for voice reinforcement and speech Intelligibility.

functionality is kept at a high standard.
