Why you should record your zoom meetings with obsPaul Richards
In this presentation, you will learn how to dramatically increase the quality of your Zoom meeting recordings. In our last blog post and video, you can learn about the various video recording options available in Zoom. Our tests show that cloud recordings are generally less than 1 Mbps and local recordings are less than 2 Mbps. A bitrate can be used to rank the quality of a video recording in most scenarios and Zoom’s recording bitrate is quite low. Usually, a low bit-rate for video recordings can result in pixelation and general low quality.
Using video production software like OBS, Wirecast, or vMix you can gain the ability to choose a higher quality bit-rate for your recordings. Video production software like OBS also allows you to enhance the quality of your videos with audio enhancements and video production features such as transitions and scene organizations. Here is a small list of the benefits of using OBS for video recordings versus Zoom.

Many are stuck figuring out where to start.
This presentation will teach you the approach to quickly launch marketing automation nurture campaigns without getting bogged down by overthinking the process. Topics covered include:
- The possible ROI of great nurture programs.
- The components of marketing automation campaigns that go beyond email.
- How to visualize and plan triggered events and nurture programs.

Scheduling and management of seed fund allocation across multiple npd projectsAshok Rangaswamy
The most important factor affecting the implementation of innovative ideas is the ineffectiveness in the delivery of seed fund. Sometimes the most significant innovation does not receive the fund and in certain situations proper help is not extended to the innovators. In order to eradicate this issue, the proposal to manage multiple NPD projects is put forth. Seed fund is the vital factor in conceiving the ideas into new products for commercial use. It is difficult to schedule and manage the seed money for multiple new product development (NPD) projects, especially for large scale government initiatives. The process model to effectively manage the seed fund for multiple NPD projects is proposed and its application to the accelerated radical innovation (ARI) methodology is discussed.

Voice over IP (VoIP) allows voice traffic to be carried over an IP data network at lower bandwidth than traditional telephone networks. It provides benefits such as lower communication costs, convergence of voice and data infrastructure, and new multimedia applications. However, VoIP also faces issues including delay, congestion, jitter, packet loss, bandwidth limitations, echo, interoperability between different systems, and ensuring scalability. The two main VoIP protocols are the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and H.323. VoIP adoption is growing due to the increasing use of IP networks, and it provides opportunities for lower telephone costs and innovative services. However, challenges remain regarding quality of service, interoperability, and developing carrier-grade

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;
- Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

30. 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive Networklatency Latency, a synonym for delay, is an expression of how much time it takes for a packet of data to get from one designated point to another Type of network links: Fibre links: >1ms DSL / cable: >10ms Satellite links: >500ms Latency increases with distance Fibre link from Europe to US: 80-150ms Speed of light is the limiting factor
31. 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive Networklatency and videoconferencing Try to keep below 150 milliseconds Excessive latency increases the chances of people "talking over one another" because they don't realize that the person at the other end has started speaking too. This is less significant in calls with less than 50ms of network latency. It can become very troublesome in calls with more than 150ms. Reference table < 50ms: humans do not notice any latency 50-150ms: small noticeable latency, interactive conferencing still very comfortable 150-250ms: noticeable latency, interactive conferencing possible but need users may need some adaptation (not talk at same time) 250-400ms: very noticeable latency, interactive conferencing possible is users wait until other have finished talking >400ms: interactive conferencing becomes very difficult

Select the right monitor size Distance to monitor: < 2 meter: 37 inch monitor (private offices) 2-3 meter: 42 inch monitor (very small meeting room) 4-5 meter: 50 inch monitor (small meeting room) 5-6 meter: 58 inch monitor (medium meeting room) 7-8 meter: 65 inch monitor (large boardroom) > 8 meter: High definition projector (large boardroom) Especially important to read small text and PowerPoint graphics 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive
38. Lights Light on participants faces should be between 700-1000lux (vertical light) with less than 200lux variations in the area. Horizontal light should be between 900-1200lux. The area with the monitor screens should have less than 300lux. Things to avoid Windows in the camera view (direct sunlight) Spot lights Halogen lighting Colors: (ea. Walls)Avoid primary & hard colors (such as: pure red, pure green, pure blue,.....)Avoid very bright colors (such as bright/pure white) 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive
39. Lights (continued) Recommendations Use fluorescent light with a color temperature of 4000K (Kelvin) (ea. Osram 11) Use louvers with reflectors (60x60 - 3 tubes or 120x30 - 2 tubes)Example : ETAP UI44/318 - 60x60 louver normalized yield 0.57 ; 3 light tubes of 26mm/18W/4000K ; color index : 85 ; 4350 lumen luminance Use dimmers on all light circuits Use at least 3 separated light circuits One circuit above the table (direct light for participants) One circuit for the background lighting (Back & Side walls) One circuit for additional light (ea. near the system cabinet, door entrance,...) Cover all windows with blinds or curtains. Use a conference table with a 50% reflecting surface (not shining or mirroring). Recommended color is light grey. Colors: Use of any color, situated between off-white/beige and light/medium grey. (ea. pastel/pale colors). Recommended : Blue-grey or green-grey color (as they enhances the natural & flesh tones). Most colors mixed with grey are suitable. Avoid too dark colors and those too white. Note: The human eye is not always a good judge for choosing colors; we tend to choose hard colors. 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive
40. Sound / Acoustics The room reverberation time should be conform to the RT60 specs and less then 400ms. The ambient noise in the room should be conform to the ISO 35 (NR) curve. Things to avoid Hard surfaces in microphone pickup ranges , especially windows Hard surfaces are reflectors and create echo!! ea. whiteboard, wooden walls/cupboards/cabinets,..., brick walls, windows, doors,... Noisy (adjacent) rooms and corridors Noisy equipment in the room (ie.

Sound / Acoustics (continued) Recommendations CEILINGPreferably use a modular T-Grid with acoustic panelsExample : RockfonFibral 567, 25mm (60x60) WALL BEHIND CABINETNo acoustic treatment necessary (may be/preferably a hard surface) if the participants are not in eye contact with each other (color is preferably white or pale) SIDE WALLS and BACK WALLUse an acoustic absorbing or diffusing tissue. (The sound absorption can be enhanced by also using 10-25mm fiber glass isolation material between the tissue/fabric and the wall.) In case windows need to be covered, use an acoustic curtain. Especially the back wall should be strongly absorbing. Note: mind the colors (see ‘Light’)Example : Cover AplixBlue-Grey ; Ref: Nopal 074 ; absorption factor 0.46 ; acoustic isolation : 6dBExample : Mur de SilenceBlue-Grey ; Ref: M20170 ; absorption factor 0.41 ; acoustic isolation : 4dB FLOORUse a (preferably antistatic) carpet. Color is not important, but preferably medium/dark grey 3 October, 2009 High Definition videoconference, deep dive
