A test image displays on the screen. Select the color temperature of the lighting in the meeting room from the drop-down box and click Apply. Sources of light in most rooms are either incandescent light bulbs that use tungsten filaments or fluorescent lights. If your room has windows, the windows add light and affect the color temperature in the room. Each of these light sources, and the amount of light in terms of lumens or watts, produces a different color temperature. This color temperature is sometimes expressed using terms such as cool, warm, or daylight, but can be expressed more precisely in kelvins (K) as a numeric value. Cisco recommends that you use lighting with a color temperature of 4000 to 4100 K. Tip In many cases, the color temperature is printed on the light bulb. 4-12
Setting Up the Cameras Step 5 If you are unable to determine the type and color temperature of light bulbs in the meeting room, experiment with color temperature settings until the color and images on the display screen look lifelike.
