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
