Interior Design Affects Video Quality

There are a lot of design factors to consider to get the optimal performance from your integrated video system. Think of how a TV show recording set is lit and painted so that people can be seen clearly on camera. Textured wall coverings work very well, and if you’re painting, then choosing muted colors will help team members be more visible during video conferencing.

A smaller microphone is usually fine for small groups of people, but for larger spaces, you’ll want multiple microphones that are kept far apart to prevent any interference. Keep microphones away from any noise sources like projector fans or computers, which may not sound very loud in the room, but can be obtrusive to the people on the other end of the video call.

With a commercial automation system, you can take control of lighting and motorized shades to get the ideal brightness, and set specific scenes that automatically adjust the technology to suit the event, whether it’s a presentation or a conference call.
