1.0 Introduction.

Lighting Design Alliance was retained to assess potential impacts related to the brightness of artificial light sources, including signage, for the proposed Paramount Pictures Master Plan (the “Project”). The proposed Project includes signage regulations that would permit a range of externally and internally lit signage, including Digital Displays, Projected Image Signs, Scrolling Digital Displays, Supergraphic Signs, and Building Identification and Tenant Identification Signs. Other sources of light for the proposed Project include building and security lighting, such as external ornamental and architectural lighting, interior building lighting, lit pedestrian walkways, site features such as water fountains, iconic elements, and pedestrian plazas, lit parking lots and parking structures, and lighting associated with outdoor filming and occasional special effects and special events. Appendix A attached to this report includes definition of terms used in the report.

2.0 Procedures.

The methodology for this analysis included identifying the Project Site; determining adjacencies between the Project Site and surrounding residential neighbors, as residential properties are identified as “sensitive receptors” for potential light impacts; evaluating the existing lighting conditions at and around the Project Site; reviewing existing regulatory requirements and professional standards; evaluating proposed Project lighting; and developing new lighting guidelines or recommendations for the Project. In order to measure existing lighting conditions and to evaluate the diversity, brightness, and density of existing and proposed signage and architectural façade illumination, multiple site visits were made. Site visits were conducted on November 29, 2012, May 13, 2013 and May 15, 2013. The author of the report, Charles Israel, an architectural lighting designer with over 20 years of experience in the industry, was present at all three site visits. Please see Appendix D for the resume of the author. The resulting report is an evaluation that combined both the review of the recorded documentation, as well as, an in-depth visual analysis. Luminance measurements of existing lighting, also known as, brightness, were taken using a luminance meter, which measures in candelas per square meter or cd/m². The measurements were taken at a point of 4.5 feet off of the existing grade, which represents an average of the viewpoint of the pedestrian and automobile traffic. Measurements were taken at the adjacent residential property lines, also identified as the nearest sensitive receptors. The measurements were aimed and focused directly on areas of maximum brightness, not a target average. The average brightness levels are substantially lower than those recorded and documented. The brand of Luminance meter that was used for the site survey was a Minolta LS-110 Luminance Meter.

PAGE 3


Illuminance measurements were taken using a different light meter, which measures in Footcandles or lux, (FC). Once again to represent the viewpoint of both the pedestrian and automobile traffic, measurements were taken at 4.5 feet above the finished grade. The illuminance meter was positioned vertically and perpendicular to the residential property line, aiming towards the Paramount property. The brand of Illuminance meter that was used for the site survey was a Minolta CL-200A Chroma Meter, and was recently calibrated for the most accurate readings. Note that the measurements were taken using a specific date and time and used a specific meter. A different meter may have a margin of error of +/- 5% difference. While distance does not affect brightness, the viewing angle and the target reflectance do, so the specific target and its orientation can impact the final reading, so readings may vary.

3.0 Project Description. The proposed Project consists of certain improvements to Paramount Studios (the “Project Site”) located in the Hollywood Community in the City of Los Angeles. The Project Site, as shown on Figure 3.1, is comprised of an approximately 56-acre main studio property (the “Main Lot”) and six surrounding properties of approximately six acres that primarily provide parking to the studio (the “Ancillary Lots”). The Main Lot is generally bounded by a cemetery to the north, Melrose Avenue to the south, Van Ness Avenue to the east, and Gower Street to the west. The Ancillary Lots and their locations are as follows:

The “Gregory Lot” located on the west side of Gower Street at Gregory Avenue;

The “Waring Lot” located on the west side of Gower Street at Waring Avenue;

The “Camerford Lot” located on the west side of Gower Street at Camerford Avenue;

The “Windsor Lot” located on the south side of Melrose Avenue at Windsor Boulevard;

The “South Bronson Lot” located on the south side of Melrose Avenue at Bronson Avenue; and

The “Lemon Grove Lot” located on the east side of Van Ness Avenue, north of Lemon Grove Avenue.

The proposed Project would remove approximately 536,600 square feet of existing uses and construct approximately 1,922,300 square feet of new stage, production office, support, office, and retail uses, for a net total of 1,385,700 square feet of development. New parking structures would also be constructed. Within the Main Lot, building heights would generally range from up to 60 feet to up to 75 feet, with taller buildings of up to 135 feet permitted within the more central portion of the Main Lot. In addition, exceptions for one 240-foot building and one 135-foot building would be permitted within the southern

PAGE 4


portion of the Main Lot, and exceptions for two 95-foot buildings would be permitted within the northern portion of the Main Lot. Within the Ancillary Lots, maximum building heights would be 45 feet with the exception of the portion of the Lemon Grove Lot (Parcels A and B), which would be 55 feet, consistent with the height of the existing structure. The Project Site operates 24 hours a day 7 days a week due to the properties’ unique uses. This requires adequate lighting to provide a sense of security for employees and guests. The studio also requires architectural or façade illumination. Elements like the entry gates and water tower sign, and movie poster signs, all enhance the image of the property as a major entertainment studio, a tourist destination, and its place in Hollywood’s entertainment industry. The proposed Project includes proposed signage regulations that would permit a range of lit signage types, including Digital Displays, Projected Image Signs, Scrolling Digital Displays, Supergraphics, Wall Signs, and Building and Tenant Identification Signs. The proposed Project signage regulations include limitations on the quantity, size, location, height and illumination of such signs, as detailed in the proposed Specific Plan and discussed in Section 7.0 below.

4.0 Sensitive Receptors. The Los Angeles CEQA Threshold Guide states that uses that are considered sensitive to nighttime light include, without limitation, residential, some commercial and institutional uses and natural areas. For this analysis, based on the existing uses surrounding the Project Site, the residential uses to the east, south and west of the Project Site are considered artificial light sensitive uses. The neighborhood surrounding the Project Site includes other commercial buildings that visually block the light from the Project Site, and in many cases increase the existing ambient lighting in the area. Residences on the east side of the Project Site have unobstructed views of the Van Ness Avenue edge of the Project Site. Residences to the south are generally separated from the Project Site by intervening commercial uses, and are likely to have obstructed views of the Project Site. A limited amount of residences directly adjacent to the Ancillary Lots may have unobstructed views of portions of the Project Site. Residences to the west are generally separated from the Project Site by intervening commercial user but some have a direct view of the Project Site. Figure 4.1 shows the Conceptual Site Plan for the Project Site and adjacent properties to the Project Site. Figure 4.2 identifies the position and the orientation of the evaluation locations in sensitive receptor areas.

Figure 4.1: CONCEPTUAL SITE PLAN:

Figure 4.2: EVALUATION LOCATIONS:

5.0 Existing Lighting Conditions The area surrounding the Project Site is a composite of different building types and uses. The area is highly urbanized with a mix of commercial, office, light industrial, institutional, and entertainment uses, as well as residential uses. In general, the major arterials in the Project vicinity, including Melrose Avenue, Santa Monica Boulevard, Vine Street, and Western Avenue, are lined with commercial, industrial, and some residential uses, with

PAGE 7


residential neighborhoods interspersed between the major arterials. A cemetery is located immediately north of the main lot. As the Project Site is located within an urban environment and because footcandles are additive, light emanating from any one source contributes to, rather than is solely responsible for, lighting impacts on a particular use. Since the Project Site and all of the adjacent areas are already affected by lighting from existing, directly adjacent and immediate development within the area, new light sources must be directly visible or extremely prominent to the light-sensitive uses to have any measurable effect. The existing lighting conditions surrounding the Project Site vary. The street lighting changes in scale and intensity from the small residential scaled side streets, to the typical tall, urban scaled poles and bright commercial street lights along the main streets. Some lighting for nearby commercial developments tends to be more industrial in nature. Along Melrose Avenue, Gower Street and Van Ness Avenue, high levels of existing artificial light sources are present which are typical for major streets in Los Angeles. Lighting along these streets includes street lights, illuminated signs, outdoor decorative lighting, parking lot structure lights, security lights, exterior architectural facade and interior building lights, and automobile headlights. Along the local residential streets in the vicinity, less intrusive residential street, security, exterior architectural and interior building lights are present. In less developed areas, such as the cemetery, intermittent light sources are present. The Main Lot currently includes prominent, large down-lighted wall signs and lighting associated with its entry gates along its Melrose Avenue edge. Along the Gower Street and Van Ness Avenue edges, the Project Site currently includes minimal perimeter architectural or signage illumination. Generally, except for the water tower, signage interior to the Project Site is not visible off-site. The Main Lot also has low level façade lighting with higher level security, pedestrian pathway and parking lot/structure lighting. Existing lighting also includes lighting associated with outdoor filming and occasional special effects and special events lighting. The Ancillary Lots currently include parking lot, structure, and security lighting at the Lemon Grove (Parcels A & B), South Bronson, Windsor, Camerford, and Waring Lots, security lighting at the Gregory Lot, and billboard signage lighting at the South Bronson and Windsor Lots. In the immediate area there is prominent, illuminated business and billboard signage along Melrose Avenue and portions of Gower Street. There is limited signage along Van Ness Avenue away from Melrose Avenue. The signage lighting and parking lot lighting in the immediate vicinity provides medium to high brightness. The architectural exterior lighting for the majority of the low-rise and mid-rise commercial and residential properties in the vicinity provides low to medium brightness, as documented in Appendix B.

PAGE 8


Appendix B includes photographs of existing lighting at and around the Project Site. Existing lighting in the area includes street lighting, building mounted or security lighting, parking lots and various signage elements. As a general summary, we documented that the LED street lighting ranged from 1,770 cd/m² to 16,000 cd/m². Architectural and security lighting range from approximately 15 cd/m² to 182,000 cd/m² for High intensity discharge, wall pack lighting at a commercial establishment in the vicinity. Surface parking lots were typically High Pressure Sodium, with lighting ranges from 1,300 to over 25,000 cd/m². Existing signage lighting ranged from approximately 20 cd/m² to 750 cd/m2 from signage at a commercial establishment in the vicinity. As shown in Appendix C, views to the Project Site, either direct or indirect, from the adjacent residential areas vary. The majority of the residences have distant or obscured views of the Project Site. Bright objects or surfaces which are blocked or contained by other buildings will have no impact. For residences along Van Ness Avenue and Gower Street that are directly across from the Main Lot and/or the Ancillary Lots, views of the Project Site are generally unobstructed. To the south of the Project Site, views of the Project Site are often obstructed or partially obstructed by other buildings or trees. Some residences directly adjacent to the Ancillary Lots south of Melrose Avenue have direct views of the Ancillary Lot and the Project Site beyond. A total of fourteen locations were selected at points of optimal view of the Project Site from the public rights of way for purposes of analyzing potential artificial light impacts at the sensitive receptors. These views may not represent the view of all residences in the area. However, the overall field of view of the Project Site and adjacent areas is consistent for the area and the existing brightness observations will be consistent based upon the distance from the Project Site and the direction and field of view toward the Project Site. Perceived brightness is a function of both the overall field of view brightness and the highest value of brightness within the field of view. The range of background brightness varies. Light energy degrades at a rate that is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the light source. Therefore, sensitive receptors farther away from the Project Site receive substantially less light energy than those sensitive receptors immediately adjacent to the Project Site. Appendix C includes a photographic representation, vertical illuminance measurements (documented in Footcandles or Lux) and brightness evaluations (documented as candelas per square meter) or luminance readings from various artificial light sensitive receptor areas around the Project Site. As shown in Appendix C, for residences with views of the Project Site, existing light sources seen from these locations include street lights, parking lot/structure lights, security lights, façade lighting and illuminated signage. Existing ambient brightness and illuminations range greatly, which is consistent with an urban environment which has been developed over several decades.

6.0 Regulations, Industry Standards, and Significant Thresholds. In conducting this evaluation, several industry reports and regulations were reviewed and referenced.

PAGE 9


IES. The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IES) is a recognized standards organization. In 2012, the IES published the Lighting Handbook, 10th Edition. The IES also publishes a series of recommended practices (Rp’s) that focus on particular design issues. The current IES Lighting Handbook, 10th Edition, and Rp’s do not contain guidelines related to building and sign brightness.

CIE. The International Commission on Illumination (CIE) is an organization of committees in many countries that makes recommendations pertaining to the art and science of lighting. Like the IES, the CIE establishes consensus based design recommendations, not codes or laws. In 2003, the CIE published CIE 150, titled Guide on the Limitation of the Effects of Obtrusive Light from Outdoor Lighting Installations. The guide establishes luminous intensity and luminance level criteria based on environmental lighting zones. The CIE defines environmental lighting zones by a series of categories representative of different levels of activity and development. Per Table 2.1 of the CIE 150, the Project Site exists in a commercial district that we would classify as an environmental lighting zone Type E4 environment, which is suitable for an urban, high brightness district, such as a town center or commercial area. However, for purposes of this analysis, given the residential uses in the vicinity, we have conservatively categorized the Project Site as an environmental lighting zone Type E3 with a lighting context consistent of a suburban area. The following CIE guidelines apply to E3 zones:

The building facade luminance (excluding contributions from illuminated signage) of up to 10 candelas per square meter (cd/m2) average, with a maximum luminance in excess of 40 cd/m2 visible beyond the Project Site boundary.

Maximum Luminaire intensities of 10,000 candelas (cd) when visible offsite.

Signage luminance visible off-site of up to 800 cd/m2

California Energy Commission. Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations includes California Energy Commission efficiency standards (2008) and are typically updated every few years. The CEC stipulates maximum allowances (watts/square foot) for lighting power and it provides lighting control requirements for various lighting systems, with the aim of reducing energy consumption through efficient, and effective, use of lighting equipment.

CEQA Thresholds Guide. The Los Angeles CEQA Thresholds Guide (2006) provides that for nighttime illumination, “the determination of significance shall be made on

PAGE 10


a case-by-case basis considering the following factors: the change in ambient illumination levels as a result of project sources; and the extent to which project lighting would spill off the project site and affect adjacent light-sensitive areas.”

Based on these factors, the proposed Project would have a significant impact with regard to the brightness of nighttime illumination if:

Project signage results in brightness that exceeds 800 cd/m2 during nighttime hours

7.0 Specific Plan Requirements

Pursuant to the proposed Paramount Pictures Specific Plan, new parking structures that have rooftop parking shall shield the light sources on the rooftop level so as to direct the lighting on-site and minimize the potential for glare. In addition, Project signage would be coordinated and regulated by the proposed Signage Regulations, included as Appendix / to the Specific Plan. These provisions would regulate such aspects as permitted sign types, permitted sign area, sign size, sign height, design, and placement, as well as related lighting characteristics such as permitted illumination/brightness. The Signage Regulations would also set forth signage compliance requirements including application and review procedures, permitted and prohibited types of signage, and applicable provisions of the LAMC. Permitted sign types would include: aerial view signs, architectural ledge signs, awning signs (canopy signs), banner signs, billboards, channel letter signs, digital signs, hanging signs, identification signs, information signs, interior signs, interpretive marquee signs, monument signs, off-site signs, pillar signs, pole signs, projecting signs, projected image signs, scrolling digital, supergraphic signs, temporary signs, wall signs, and window signs. The Signage Regulations also include the following requirements for the lighting intensity of supergraphic, digital, scrolling digital, and projected image signage, hours of operation, and refresh rates of digital signage.

Lighting for supergraphic signs shall be designed, located or screened so as to minimize to the greatest reasonable extent possible direct light sources onto any exterior wall of a residential unit and into the window of any commercial building outside the Project Site. The source of the external illumination shall be shielded from public view.

Signage shall not use highly reflective materials such as mirrored glass.

The following additional illumination standard shall apply to all Digital Displays, Projected Image Signs and Scrolling Digital Displays:

PAGE 11


o Brightness. Digital displays, projected image signs and scrolling digital displays shall have a nighttime brightness no greater than 600 candelas per square meter and a daytime brightness of no greater than 7,500 candelas per square meter. The displays shall transition smoothly at a consistent rate from the permitted daytime brightness to the permitted nighttime brightness levels, beginning 45 minutes prior to sunset and concluding 45 minutes after sunset. The brightness of Digital Display and Projected Image Signs shall be measured from ground level at the nearest residential property outside of the boundaries of the Project Site. The measured maximum brightness shall be based on the luminance levels of the white display portion of the sign, and the red, green and blue outputs shall be turned to full ON at the time of testing. A calibrated luminance meter shall be used to measure the luminance intensity of the sign in candela per meter squared (nits) in accordance with the luminance meter manufacture’s operation instructions. The luminance measurements should not be taken at oblique angles that exceed 60 degrees off-axis from the face of the sign.

The following additional illumination standard shall apply to all Digital Displays,

Projected Image Signs, Scrolling Digital Displays, and Supergraphics:

o Ground Spillage. Digital displays, projected image signs, scrolling digital displays and supergraphics shall not generate light intensity levels of greater than two (2) foot-candles as measured at the property line of the nearest residentially zoned property outside the boundaries of the Project Site. A calibrated illuminance meter shall be used to measure the maximum incident illuminance resultant from the sign in foot-candles in accordance with the illuminance meter manufacture’s operation instructions. The meter shall be mounted to a tripod at eye level, and aimed at the sign. A measurement shall be taken with the sign turned on, and again with the sign turned off. The difference of the two measurements shall be considered the resultant illuminance generated by the sign.

o Refresh Rate of Digital Displays and Scrolling Digital Displays. The refresh rate of a Digital Display, inclusive of any change in whole or in part of the sign image, shall be no more frequent than one refresh event every eight seconds, with a one second transition between images. The Digital Display image must remain static between refreshes. The refresh rate of a Scrolling Digital Display shall be restricted to a constant, smooth, rolling motion across, up, or down the display area.

o Hours of Operation or Illumination of Digital Displays, Projected Image Signs, Scrolling Digital Displays and Supergraphics. Digital Displays and Scrolling Digital Displays may only operate between the hours of 6 AM to 2 AM.

PAGE 12


Projected Image Signs and Supergraphics may be illuminated between the hours of one hour before sunset to 2 AM.

8.0 Project Impacts

The proposed Project will include new lighting for safety, security, architectural features, signage and use of the facilities. Building, parking and security lighting would be consistent with existing lighting which does not exceed industry standards. Therefore, with existing and proposed regulations, building, parking and security lighting would not result in a significant impact. The proposed Project signage is intended to contribute to the image of the Project Site as a major entertainment studio consistent with other major studios in the Los Angeles area. The Project Site is in an area of existing high illumination levels with a range of street, architectural and signage lighting. The proposed Project lighting, including signage does not pose a significant change to lighting patterns in the area. Brightness and its impact are relative to the ambient lighting in the surrounding area. For example, a bright sign in a brightly lit area would not cause glare impacts. The same bright sign in a dim or dark area would cause glare impacts. Discomfort glare is caused when the eye cannot adjust to high contrast fast enough and the retina of the eye is stressed. A contrast higher than 30:1 could potentially cause discomfort glare. The proposed Project signage will not cause glare during the day because the intensity of the signage will not contrast with the brightness of the sun. The nighttime light levels have a greater potential for impact; therefore, LDA focused the analysis during night conditions. Residences to the east, south and west of the Project Site would have different degrees of view of Project signage. In many cases, the view of the Project signage and lighting from residences would be blocked, in whole or in part, by intervening buildings and landscaping. In most cases, intervening buildings and landscaping will shield lower level Project signage from view by nearby residences.

Proposed Digital Displays and Projected Image Signs are anticipated to be located in the southern portion of the Main Lot and the Ancillary Lots south of Melrose Avenue, primarily facing Melrose Avenue. The Digital Displays and Projected Images Signs will be dimmed to 600 cd/m2 at night and turned off from 2 AM to 6 AM per the proposed Sign Regulations. The limitations in the Sign Regulations will minimize potential brightness impacts from Digital Displays and Projected Image Signs and fall below the guidelines of the CIE. Based on existing lighting levels in the area and the proposed Project lighting and regulations, the glare contrast for Project signage would not exceed 30:1 as compared to the existing lighting levels with the area. LED displays have a much more controlled beam spread and field of view as compared to typical signage and, therefore, shall be oriented accordingly, as to reduce glare, light trespass and light pollution to the surrounding area.

PAGE 13


The proposed Project Site would continue to have lighting associated with occasional special events, consistent with existing conditions. Outdoor production would continue to occur throughout the Main Lot as in the existing condition; however, the overall outdoor production activities are anticipated to potentially increase by up to 20% (for a typical day) in the future (Project build-out). The potential increase in outdoor production activities is expected to occur between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Consistent with existing operations, lighting associated with outdoor production, special effects and special events are generally directed toward the area of production or special events and of limited duration. One possible exception could be of search lights, which would be directed to the sky. Lighting used for outdoor production, special effects and special events would not increase brightness over existing conditions and would not result in a significant impact.

9.0 Summary

With the proposed regulations in the Specific Plan including Sign Regulations, identified above, the proposed Project lighting would not substantially alter the character of the off-site areas surrounding the Project Site or interfere with the performance of an off-site activity. Therefore, the proposed Project lighting would not result in significant artificial light brightness impacts on the sensitive receptors in the vicinity of the Project Site.

Definition of Terms Used in the Report

Billboard Sign on one or more poles that: ‐is four feet or greater in height as measured from the natural or finished grade ‐is structurally separate from an existing building or other improvement on a lot

‐is supported by an independent footing inside an existing building or other improvement on a lot extending through the roof of a building or structure ‐is supporting a sign panel that is attached to the poles, posts, or columns, and that may be cantilevered over a building or structure on the lot

Brightness Brightness is the perceptual response to luminance. It is our response to a source of light, with sources being categorized between bright and dim. It is measured and documented in candelas per meter squared (cd/m²) (Section 4.8 of the IESNA Lighting Handbook 9 or 10) Candela Basic unit for measuring luminous intensity from a light source in a given direction. A common candle emits light with a luminous intensity of roughly one candela. If emission in some directions is blocked by an opaque barrier, the emission would still be approximately one candela in the direction that is not obscured. Color Temperature The absolute temperature of a blackbody radiator having a chromaticity equal to that of the light source. A blackbody radiator is an object which, when heated, emits a spectrum of radiant power from a particular source. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) Digital Display A sign face, building face, and/or any building or structural component that displays still images, scrolling images, moving images, or flashing images, including video and animation, through the use of grid lights, cathode ray projection, light emitting diode displays, plasma screens, liquid crystal displays, fiber optics, or other electronic media or technology that is either independent of or attached to, integrated into, or projected onto a building or structural component, and that may be changed remotely through electronic means. Footcandle (FC) An imperial unit of measurement, abbreviated as FC. The unit is defined as the amount of illumination the inside surface of an imaginary 1 foot radius sphere would be receiving if there were a uniform point source of one candela in the exact center of the sphere. The footcandle can be thought of as the amount of light that actually falls on a given surface. The footcandle is equal to one lumen per square foot. Footcandles are additive. Glare Glare is the sensation produced by luminance within the visual field that is sufficiently greater than that to which the eyes are adapted. Glare may cause annoyance, discomfort or loss of visual performance and visibility. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) High Pressure Sodium (HPS) Lamp A high intensity discharge (HID) lamp in which light is produced by radiation from sodium vapor operating at a partial pressure about 1.33 x 104 Pa (100 Torr). (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) Illuminance The areal density of the luminous flux incident at a point on a surface .The unit of illumination is footcandle. LED Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are solid state electronic devices for generating light. LED light engines have a typical rated life of 35,000 to 50,000 hours of operation at which point the light output of the LED will have decreased to 70% of its initial value. At the end of rated life, the LEDs will likely continue to operate for an extended period of time with a continuing decline in light output. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) Light Source and optics

‐Parabolic Louvers – Luminaires shielded with a grid of parabolic louvers having a specular finish can control luminance precisely. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions)

Lumen A lumen is the basic unit of light, a measure of the perceived power of light. The lumen is defined in relation to the candela by 1 lumen = 1 candela x 1 steridian.

Luminaire A luminaire is a complete lighting system consisting of a lamp and ballast together with the parts design to distribute the light, to position and protect the lamps, and to connect the lamps to the power supply. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) Luminance Is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity of a surface. The luminance indicates how much luminous power will be detected by an eye looking at the surface from a particular angle of view. It is an indicator of how bright the surface will appear. It is measured by candelas per meter squared (cd/m²). (Section 12.18 of the IESNA Lighting Handbook) Lux The SI unit of illuminance. One lux is one lumen per square meter. (IES DG‐25‐12 Definitions) Projected Image Sign: An image projected on the face of a delineated wall or screen from a distant electronic device, such that the image does not originate from the plane of the wall. Scrolling Digital Display A type of digital display that contains a message composed of individual letters on a neutral field. Steridian A description of two‐dimensional angular spans in three‐dimensional space, analogous to the way in which the radian describes angles in a plan.
