BRIGHTNESS AND IMAGE SIZE – HOW DO YOU CHOOSE?
The International Display Measurement Standards (IDMS) advocates 2 metrics for measuring the image brightness of a projector. These may be called Color Light Output (CLO) aka Color Brightness and White Light Output (WLO) aka White Brightness. However, all projectors do not have equal values of Color and White Brightness. For example, a customer could end up purchasing a projector which is promoted having a brightness of 5,000 Lumens when its Color Brightness is just 1,700 Lumens. In practice OEMs mostly publish White Brightness values labeled as Brightness which doesn’t convey the Color Brightness deficiency to the customer.
Images are created with both projectors and other display devices. Increasingly customers are faced with the dilemma of choosing between a projector and an alternative display device like a flat panel. The deliberations soon turn in to a comparison of specifications, technology and appearances while wholly discounting the functional elements resulting in a dysfunctional display environment. A functional display installation is one which is visible to every person seated in a viable viewing area. There are metrics that assist a customer and an AV designer to make the right choices of image size. The choice of the technology and display device itself is a techno commercial subset of the of the optimal image size.
Pravin Kumar
Product Manager, Epson India
Pravin Kumar has facilitated buyers and AV designers in choosing the right Epson projector for their requirements since 2001 in various roles in sales and product management. Pravin also regularly provides training to Epson partners on projection technology and image elements in AV design. Epson India is a fully owned subsidiary of the Seiko Epson Corporation that designs and manufactures 3LCD projectors with lamp and laser light source. The company has a wide portfolio of 3LCD projectors from 3,000 to 30,000 Lumens.

Building Livable Cities (In collaboration with: All India Institute of Local Self Government)
The world is urbanising faster than ever and the fastest growth is evidently happening in Asia. The rapid economic growth in Asian cities is attracting more than 120,000 new urbanites daily. According to an Asian Development Bank (ADB) report, around 65% of all Asians will reside in cities by 2050. This fast-paced urbanisation demands for better amenities in cities for the increasing urban population. Cities need to provide them a liveable environment where they can live, work, and undertake leisure time activity with ease. There is no clear-cut definition of a Liveable City but the cities where people long to stay or visit often are perceived as “liveable”.
To build liveable cities, cities in Asia including India, is embracing innovative technologies and solutions to achieve liveability, inclusiveness and sustainable development model for urban development. The objective of the conference is to raise some of the central questions concerning liveability in cities and find reasonable answers from the domain experts.

Futuristic and Sustainable Solutions to India’s Urban Transportation : In collaboration with All India Institute of Local Self Government (AIILSG)
21st Century India is climbing high on the path of progress and development and aspirations are rising high as well. It requires a lot of policy incentives and investments to meet these aspirations. The major locomotive of this growth has to be driven by urban transport which will further boost the growth and generate employment as well. Efficient and reliable urban transport systems are crucial for India to sustain a high growth rate and alleviate poverty. Industries such as services and manufacturing concentrate around urban areas. It requires efficient and reliable urban transport to move workers and connect production facilities. Urban transport in India is already under pressure and the growth of service and manufacturing sector has brought it under further strain. Cities like Chennai, Bengaluru and even National Capital Region have attracted significant investment in the field of technology because of highly qualified workforce. Cities have grown but urban transport in every Indian city is still struggling. Developing an efficient urban transport system should be part of the broad Government policy aimed at improving the attractiveness and competitiveness of Indian cities.
New metro rail act in the offing Delhi Metro – A Transformation in Urban Transportation
Metro rail has become an important mode of transportation. While in earlier days it was identified with Kolkata only, in the last two decades starting from Delhi, now every state is implementing the project in its cities, be it Mumbai, Jaipur, Lucknow, Bengaluru or Kochi.
Aviation sector needs overhauling - Importance of State of the Art Infrastructure for Air Travel
While the Tier 1 cities have all the amenities at airports and have been turned into world class ones, working force has to move quite frequently to Tier2 cities as well. Therefore, it is important that land available with Airports Authority of India be put to good use. It has a huge land bank of almost fifty-five thousand acres across the country. Now glitzy malls, hotels and convention centres are being proposed. But the important fact is that over the next fifteen years India will require an investment of almost three lakh crores in this sector. And where is that going to come from?

Cloud Video Conferencing: It’s Time for the Meeting Room Revolution
Much of the talk in the last year about video conferencing environments has been about huddle rooms. That’s hardly surprising as there’s presently so much growth in that space. However full-sized meeting rooms are incredibly important for many organisations, and a market ripe for disruption. The good news is that something new and interesting is emerging. Simpler solutions for conference rooms are on the rise. Complex, legacy systems are being replaced by conference room add-on devices. These devices have taken up the “Conference Room World" by storm and now have a separate product category all to themselves. We would argue that perhaps we are seeing the emergence of something utterly new. A video collaboration experience that actually works the way users want it to.

Adding Video Conferencing into Any App Using SDK
For the last 10 years video conferencing managed to find its way into all spheres of our life and eventually became irreplaceable. This technology has come a long way from a high-end solution to a popular service widely used across the globe every day. The concept of VCaaS is gradually transforming into VCaaF, easily added into any platform or endpoint by means of API/SDK toolkits. API/SDK enables vendors to embed video conferencing into websites, applications, ATMs, vertical appliances, etc. Adding third-party technology into an existing product leads to the dependency you cannot control, which puts your products at unwanted risks.
In our seminar we will discuss how to develop video conferencing-enabled vertical appliances based on our hands-on experience and real case studies. In our session we are going to discuss the main video conferencing technologies available on the market today as SDK. Our presentation will help educate the audience on the importance of video conferencing SDK for high quality custom application development and provide more details on the API/SDK technical issues.
