23
Q

connection to ground (earth) or to a conductive body that extends that ground (earth) connection, of all normally non-current-carrying conductive materials enclosing electrical conductors or equipment, or forming part of such equipment. The purpose is to limit any voltage potential between the equipment and earth.

A

Equipment Grounding

24
Q

27
Q

what are the documents that include a listing of the major contracted entities on the design and construction team, their roles, and primary contract. Usually produced and maintained by the architect, owner, or construction/program manager.

A

Project directories

28
Q

what are the documents that include The section of the architect’s contract that delineates his/her role. In addition, it may also reference terms that apply to the AV provider’s role and responsibilities.

29
Q

what are the documents that include Background information that can be crucial to determining the AV project’s scope. This might include the customer’s or stakeholders web site, their business missions and goals and their core beliefs.

A

42
Q

You need to project an image that has a 4:3 aspect ratio onto a screen. You measure the screen height and determine that it is 90 inches (2,286 mm) and 120 inches (3,048 mm) wide. Can you use this screen for the 4:3 image?

A

Yes, you can use this screen because the aspect ratios match.

43

A

Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, the screen width is 293.9 inches

Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, the screen’s diagonal is 337.2 inches

44
Q

An existing screen is 216.5 inches (5499 mm) wide by 216.5 inches (5499 mm) high. A projected image with a 16:9 aspect ratio covers the entire width of the screen. What is the image’s height?

A

Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, the image height is 121.8 inches.

45
Q

You require a 16:9 screen with a height of 60 inches (1524 mm). What will the screen’s diagonal be?

A

Rounded to the nearest tenth of an inch, the screen diagonal is 122.4 inches.

46
Q

the ability to detect that there are two stimuli, rather than one, in the visual field. It is measured in terms of the smallest angular separation between two stimuli that can still be seen as separate.

A

Resolution acuity

47
Q

the ability to correctly identify a visual target, as in differentiating between a “G” and a “C.” Usually, but not always, it is measured in terms of the angular dimension of the smallest target that can be discriminated. A clinical eye chart, where visual acuity testing performed using letters, as is done clinically, is a form of testing this.

A

Recognition acuity

48
Q
