Which type of server automatically assigns an IP address to the MAC address during the device's
connection to a network? - A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to the MAC address
during the device's connection to a network.
A simple dimmer rack is feeding 24 incandescent lights during a stage production. The rack is running on
a steady 230v AC supply and averaging a current draw of approximately 98 amps. Suddenly the line
voltage drops to 211v AC. Calculate the expected draw at this new voltage. - 90 Amps
While evaluating a potential AC conference room site, you notice the HVAC system appears to be
introducing a substantial amount of noise into the environment. What should be your first course of
action? - Ask to obtain measurements of the HVAC noise using a SPL meter (A Weighted). Record
the measurements and provide them to the design team to articulate the implications to the client's site.
When working with a client to design an AV solution for a new conference center, the client requests a
detailed budget for the equipment and installation. In what project phase does this occur? -
Design Phase
AV Specialists determine the end users needs by examining three things: the required applications, the
tasks, and .... - Function of the applications
When verifying a display system, what should be used to determine whether it meets a specified
contrast ratio? - Spot Photometer
The question is to test familiarity with Ohm's Law and the relationships between voltage, current, and
resistance. If the voltage decreases but the load remains constant, than the current must also decrease.
So if the voltage falls from 230 to 211 volts than the current must fall proportionately. As 211/230=.92
the current drawn will be 98x.92=90.16(90 amps), **Note that incndescenet lamps are a resistive load,
not a constant power load such as an amp or a projector. The answer would be different with a constant
power device.
,For what purpose would an AV tech designate a loop back internet protocol address in the range of

How does knowledge of the overall room function assist the AV system designer in defining the client
needs? - Knowledge of the overall room function assists the AV system designer by providing a
starting point from which to determine client needs.
How does the AV team use information about any identified constraints to the AV design and installation
tasks? - The AV team uses information about any identified constraints to the AV design and
installation tasks to develop a work-around plan when these constraints will affect the design or
installation tasks.
