100

This initial stage of an AV project involves discussing, clarifying, and documenting the owner's needs, concerns, expectations, and constraints to guide the design team.

What is a Program Phase?

100
Width, compared to height

What is Aspect ratio?

100

 This is a base-10 logarithmic relationship representing the ratio between two numbers, often used to quantify differences in voltage, distance, and sound pressure

What is a Decibel (dB)?

100

This one-to-one communication method is the default for Dante media and is known for providing the best latency performance, being the easiest for switches to move.

What is Unicast?

100

A “just noticeable” change in sound pressure level, either louder or softer.

What is 3db?

200

This crucial activity within the program phase addresses the owner’s business processes to assess specific AV support requirements, often through interviews, surveys, and inventory of existing equipment.

What is a Needs Analysis?

200

This ultra-high-resolution video format boasts a resolution of 7680x4320 pixels, which provides 16 times the resolution of full HD.

What is 8K?

200

This is the standard form of digital audio in various applications like computers, compact discs, and digital telephony. The two basic properties determining fidelity of analog signal are the sampling rate (number of samples per second) and bit depth (number of possible digital values per sample).

What is PCM (Pulse Code Modulation)?

200

This cable certification, introduced with HDMI 2.1, is required to support the full 48 Gbps bandwidth and features like 4K at 120Hz and 8K at 60Hz40....

Ultra High Speed (HDMI Cable)

200

Generally, a measurement of incident light is taken at a task area like a video screen.

What is Lux?

300

his document describes the client’s specific needs, system purpose, functionality, and the designer’s best estimate of probable cost, presented in a non-technical format for owner review and approval.

What is a Program Report?

300

For text on a display, it is recommended that the percent element height fall within this range to ensure legibility while allowing enough text to fit on the screen

What is 2 to 4 percent?

300

This type of circuit or device is designed to allow signals above a specified frequency to pass unaltered, while attenuating lower frequencies

What is a High-Pass Filter?

300

 This protocol, when engaged on managed switches, ensures that one-to-many communication streams are only sent to interested parties, preventing data from flooding the entire VLAN like a broadcast

What is IGMP Snooping?

300

This slight projection finishing off a stroke of a letter in certain typefaces is NOT appropriate for a captioning service.

what is a serif?

400

This written agreement between the client, project sponsor, key stakeholders, and project team explicitly defines the boundaries of the project

What is a Scope Statement?

400

This crucial set of information flows in reverse from the AV signal, telling a source what resolution to output when connected to a display.

What is EDID? (Extended Display Identification Data)

400

This theorem states that an analog signal can be perfectly reconstructed if its sampling rate is greater than twice the highest frequency sampled, with 40kHz cited as the minimum for human hearing

What is Nyquist-Shannon Sampling Theorem?

400

This standard is a consumer electronic and commercial connectivity technology that transmits uncompressed UHD video, digital audio, DC power, Ethernet, USB 2.0, and other control communication over a single category cable up to 100m.

What Is HDbaseT?

400

Expressed in the equation Screen Width × Ratio of Lens

What is Throw Distance?

500

This common project management tool organizes tasks and their relationships on a timeline in a hierarchical structure, also known as a Work Breakdown Structure

What is a Gantt Chart?

500

This service provides human-generated captions, often aided by AI, typed out in real-time by a professional transcriptionist listening to an event.

What is CART (Communication Access Realtime Translation)?

500

A crucial distinguishing feature of a parametric equalization, is its ability to change the ___ of the gain adjustment, represented by the letter Q

What is Bandwidth?

500

This designation, part of the EIA/TIA 568A standard, specifies characteristics for unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables and connecting hardware for data transmission up to 100Mbps.

What is Category 5 Cable?

500

On an Allen & Heath QU6 mixer, this SETUP menu option allows you to freely assign fader strips across four layers, or to switch odd/even input channel pairs between mono and stereo

What is Strip Assign or Mixer Config?
