4.5/5(Based on 1 heritage site)
Descriptionडिजिटल एवी (Digital AV), or अंकीय श्रव्य दृश्य (Ankiya Shravya Drishya), represents contemporary digital audio-visual technology [1]. While not a traditional construction material like *shila* (stone) or *kashta* (wood), its application within Indic heritage sites necessitates material science considerations. Projectors, screens, and audio systems, composed of polymers, metals (aluminum, copper), and semiconductors (silicon), are deployed for presentations and displays. Durability in varying environmental conditions (temperature, humidity) is crucial for long-term preservation of both the equipment and the heritage fabric. Conservation efforts must address potential electromagnetic interference with sensitive artifacts. The high data transfer rates (Gbps) and resolution (4K/8K) require robust shielding and grounding to prevent damage. Unlike traditional materials sourced from specific *khanija* (mines) or *vana* (forests) across the Indian subcontinent, digital AV components are globally manufactured. Careful integration into existing structures, respecting the *vastu shastra* principles, is paramount. Future research should focus on bio-degradable AV components to minimize environmental impact.
