Navitar Hi-Lite Videoconferencing Lighting | | |  |
Studio Quality Lighting for the Videoconferencing Environment "Lights, camera, action!" There's a reason why lights come first in this famous expression. Professional photographers, television engineers and motion picture studios will all agree that lighting is just as important as any other production consideration. In other words, the quality of the image is directly proportional to the quality of the lighting. This rule is consistent with all optical applications and is especially true with images transmitted by videoconferencing codec units.
Compared to the human eye, the video camera is less tolerant of unfavorable lighting conditions. It detects and processes unwanted information such as flicker and glare caused by conventional light sources. Videoconferencing further compounds this problem by compressing the video signal before transmitting it, then decompressing it on the far-end. The best way to compensate for these inherent problems is to feed the camera the proper amount of high quality light.
Don't worry, there's no need to become a lighting expert. Navitar can supply you with the tools and suggestions to master the videoconferencing challenges that arise due to poor lighting conditions.
Navitar, which has been in the audio visual and machine vision industry for more than 25 years, knows the value of a high quality light source. See for yourself the difference the Navitar Hi-Lite makes to your videoconferencing presentations. Contact your Navitar dealer for a free demonstration.

Navitar Hi-Lites to properly illuminate the instructor.
Proper Color Temperature and Rendering
Hi-Lites are engineered to provide the highest quality of diffused light for videoconferencing. Video cameras attain peak performance between 2800ēK to 4100ēK. With a color temperature of 3200ēK and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 82, our bulbs set the standard for high quality videoconference lighting.
No Interference
Unlike conventional fluorescent or incandescent lighting, the Navitar Hi-Lite uses a high frequency ballast which provides an even, low flicker output, as well as virtually silent operation.
Low Power Consumption Generates Very Little Heat
The Navitar Hi-Lite incorporates compact fluorescent technology. It needs less than 110 watts to produce the same quality light as Tungsten or Halogen lamps, which require as much as 500-1500 watts!
Less energy for operation means less heat dissipation. Even after long hours of operation, the fixture is still cool to the touch. Participants remain cool and comfortable for the duration of the videoconference.
Easy to Install
Designed for end-user installation, each Navitar Hi-Lite comes equipped with an AC line cord and three different universal ceiling grid adapters. Just follow the step-by-step mounting instructions for your specific ceiling type, then plug the cord into a switched outlet. This uncomplicated installation process makes Navitar Hi-Lites simple to mount and just as easy to take down for trouble-free relocation
