Question regarding Epson Projector Lumens calculation
Community members, @Jacques Booysen has asked for help in calculating lumens. We'd appreciate your help!
"Hi All, In South Africa we work with average 500 lux indoors, I have a 200" screen and would like to find the appropriate projector lumens for it. I'm looking at an Epson EB-PU2216B of 16000 lumens and contrast ratio of over 2500000:1 the calculations doesn't make sense to me although I converted to metric. I'm getting an answer of 10 000000 to the power of 10. please help."
@Donato II Oliman , @Huan Phung Thien , @Luis Valenzuela , @Steve James ...others...can you offer assistance here? Thanks!

HDBaseT Case Study: RGB Spectrum Helps Battle Cyber-Attacks with HDBaseT
I wanted to call your attention to a case study on the Institute of CyberSecurity and Innovation (iCSI) posted in the "HDBaseT Just'n Case" Room. The iCSI is a new cyber security training facility that trains students on how to detect and identify hacks and cyber-attacks and respond to threats.

What are the demands brought about by the advancement in collaboration platforms?
@Tomas Leiton of @Newtech has posted a fascinating article that highlights the demands brought about by the advancements in collaboration platforms and how they are enabling greater participation for users. He showcases innovative technologies that allow for enhanced collaboration and inclusion regardless of physical location or abilities such as:
Facial recognition of participants.
Speech recognition and conversion to text.
Simultaneous interpretation/translation ("speaker attribution").
Voice control.
Possibility to extend the call from a mobile device to a room.
Digitization of content.
Touch interactivity.
Incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR).
Read the article, "What are the demands brought about by the advancement in collaboration platforms?", posted in Spanish "¿Cuáles son las exigencias que trae el avance en las plataformas de colaboración?"
What are your experiences with these trending features and how are they contributing to meeting equity and inclusion? What's next?

Honestly, I rarely get through a day without a Mean Girls reference. And then there's Encino Man...and I can hear the clapping of the coconuts now - Monty Python and the Holy Grail!
Ok, @Matt Reber , fellow X-files fan, you must have some good ones....
Thanks, @Aviad Cohen , @Samantha Davis , and @Kiosk Manufacturer Association for sharing your expertise with the community! Great question, @Harish040 !
There seem to be many nuances around this and questions to be addressed. Is there any type of best practices "checklist" when approaching a project?
Thank you @Lisa Matthews, CTS for getting me to the right place. I currently work in a team of 1 as part of a larger Engineering org, which can be isolating. I have found great community through our women's ERG, however I am missing the AV team dynamic from being able to bounce ideas around, talk AV trends, learn new skills, keep the old skills fresh, experiment and fail, and hear others experiences in environments that I may not be familiar with. So, I thought the women's council would be the ideal place to find the right community, connect with other women in AV, and continue the expansion of women in tech. Looking forward to what is next.
That's fantastic, @Cathy Richards-Ingram! I'm sure you'll enjoy connecting with the dynamic members of the Women's Council. I hope our Xchange community is a welcome source of personal and professional camaraderie!
@Megan Kuhman , @Tammy Fuqua , can you connect with @Cathy Richards-Ingram and help her join the Women's Council?! Cathy, thanks for reaching out and kudos to your accomplishments, including keeping your AV connections active and expanding while being a new mom!
Hi @Lisa Matthews, CTS
Here are a couple of recommendations in Barcelona from the gastronomy section of the newspaper El País, in its annual compilation of the best restaurants in Spain.
Alapar
Jaume Marambio and Vicky Maccarone define their place as a neighborhood bodega in the Japanese or Mediterranean izakaya style, but Mikel points out "that the delicacies they serve are more reminiscent of haute cuisine than the menu of the bar downstairs." The expert foodie assures that his nigiris and montaditos are a spectacle, the same as the lemon fish with hoisin sauce, the portobello mushrooms with miso black pepper sauce, or the squid in its ink stuffed with jowl, "with an additional orgasmic pickle sauce." "A place where you enjoy non-stop from the moment you sit down until you leave," sums up López Iturriaga, editor of the El Comidista section of the newspaper El País.
Dalt de tot
Another of El Comidista's 2022 favorites is Dalt de tot: "They have a very rich and juicy tortilla de patatas (potato omelet), which has a more daring version with aioli and chipotle on top. They also offer other classics such as fried Padrón peppers, croquetitas, bombas or botifarra sausage skewers". The editor says: "Honestly, I think this is where I have enjoyed the most this year in the city in terms of expectations versus reality."
And on the other hand, I suggest enjoying a drink at the cocktail bar Dr. Stravisnky and letting yourself be guided by their creative bartenders.
Awesome, thanks @Mario Gonzalez ! @Mark Breakspear , here are some additional options for you!
Has anyone tried any listed El País above? They ALL look incredible!
Nice installation! Thanks for sharing @Kiosk Manufacturer Association. I imagine their visitors appreciate how quickly and efficiently they can gain access. And wow, how awesome that they fit into the windows and are easily serviceable. Even the hatch doors...so on-brand (and your extra credit question is other-worldly!) Have they shared any data on how effective the units have been vs. staffing the ticket windows?
Thanks Lisa!
And thanks for inviting me to the AVIXA Xchange I didn't realize what I was missing.
Welcome to the community, @Daniel Ayers, MS, CTS, ETCP ! We're excited to have you and look forward to your contributions and conversations! As I mentioned, I look forward to your blog. Did you say to expect that in March? What topics do you plan to cover?
So many ideas shared in this article, @Alissa Haksar. Thanks for posting it - I'm sure many will find it helpful. I'm anxious to hear from others here as well -
