Megaconference

[Frank Fulchiero <>]

My $.02.. not sure about video conferencing but in video studios red is way too strong. and if you ever have to go to a composite signal will bleed a lot.

I would say if you use red desaturate it considerably and run some tests with your cameras, including final compressions..

White is also bad as if considerable it can cause auto irises to close and make foreground darker. And can peak some sensors.

Maybe use a very light gray instead of white?

Above from production video studios.. not videoconferencing.... but video may be video... and just my personal observations.

Good luck,

Hi All,

 

I’m working with our Marketing team to design a backdrop to use in one of our conference rooms,  Understandably so we have to stay inside the boundaries of our official branding but they are recommending a red background, similar to the color in my signature below with a repeating brock logo in white.  I have some concerns as to how red is going to look on camera and would prefer a more neutral tone as the main background color.  Grey and white are also in the confines of our branding but they have to opposite concerns about those colors.  I know white is generally a bad idea for a background color but I figure a repeating logo on white would not be so bad.  Grey was my first choice but apparently grey with logos makes the backdrop look cluttered.  Has anyone used red as their main background color in video conference rooms?
