Hi-Lite^® Videoconferencing Lighting

Overview

Hi-Lite Lighting Can Dramatically Improve Your Video Presentations

"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 a critical element in any imaging application. 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 digital imaging.

Compared to the human eye, the digital/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. In some cases digital imaging further compounds this problem by compressing the image before processing it. 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 digital imaging challenges that arise due to poor lighting conditions.

Navitar, which has been in the audiovisual 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 digital imaging applications. Contact your Navitar representative for a free demonstration.

Proper Color Temperature and Rendering                           

Navitar video lighting is engineered to provide the highest quality of diffused light for digital imaging. Video cameras attain peak performance between 2800ºK to 4100ºK. With a color temperature of 3200ºK and a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 82, our bulbs set the standard for high quality videoconference lighting.

Dimmable 

The optional dimming feature on the Hi-Lite units allows the light intensity to be adjusted to provide more key light for people with darker skin tones and less for those with lighter complexions. Adjustable lighting also provides essential fill light, which fills in dark areas and dead spots left by conventional lighting. The result is a sharp, crisp picture with a remarkable improvement in contrast and definition.

No Interference 

Unlike conventional fluorescent or incandescent lighting, Navitar uses a high frequency ballast that 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. The subjects remain cool and comfortable for the duration of the image capturing process.

Easy to Install

Designed for end-user installation, each Navitar Hi-Lite (XL models)* 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. This uncomplicated installation process makes Navitar video lighting simple to install and easy to relocate if necessary.

* Navitar recommends that Recessed Hi-Lites (XLR, EXR, NXR) be installed by a qualified electrician.
