The efficient management of delegate microphone
status is a vital element in successful conference
control. The Microphone Management software module
provides the user with a powerful and easy-to-use
tool that brings all aspects of microphone
management to a single point of control. Microphones
are controlled using the name (or desk number) of
the delegate. The user can select microphones for
the speakers list (active micro-phones) or prepare a
request list. The order of delegates within the
request list and speakers list can be altered at any
time before or during a conference. A search
facility is available that allows the operator to
locate specific delegates. It is also possible to
give notebook status to delegates, which means they
do not have to join the request list and can enjoy
certain other privileges not granted to other
delegates. The microphone type must be specified for
the notebook. |

Simultaneous Interpretation |
|
|
Features
Can accommodate up to 90 interpreter desks
On-line monitoring of interpretation activities
Facilitates normal and relay interpretations
Microphone mode options
On-screen help facility
|
|
Multi-language interpretation is an essential
component in the international congress venues of
today. The Simultaneous Interpretation program
supports the preparation of simultaneous
interpretation facilities and the monitoring of
interpreter activities during a conference. It can
accommodate up to 15 interpreter booths, each with
up to 6 interpreter desks. The main window has two
display modes, both rich in graphics for easy
assimilation of information. One gives a
channel-oriented overview of system status, such as
which language is present on that channel, the
mnemonic for that language, on which lan-guage the
interpretation is based, and the number of the desk
and booth generating that language. The other
display mode gives the same information in a
different form, providing an overview of the status
of each desk in each booth. This includes booth and
desk status (active or non-active), and the language
in and out of each active desk. In addition the
software enables the operator to establish
microphone interlocks, between booths and within
booths, with or without using an override facility.
In interlock mode, the active microphone must first
be turned off before any other microphones can
become active. In override mode, any microphone can
automatically override the current active microphone
and become active. The interpreter system settings
are stored in an interpreter configuration file.
There are a number of options available to the user
for working with these files, all of which are
standard DCN file options. These consist of opening,
creating and saving files under a new name. |

The Intercom software module forms the basis of
a congress communication system that allows
conference participants to hold two-way private
conversations. It provides a means of setting up
and controlling intercom calls between
delegates, chairmen, interpreters and other
PC-users during a conference. The Intercom
software is used in combination with the LBB
3555/00 Intercom Hand-set and Cradle. It
provides assistance in both the pre-conference
creation of an inter-com network, and the
routing and controlling of intercom calls once
the conference is underway. Preparation work
includes assigning special intercom links
between partici-pants, interpreters or both.
Once the conference is taking place, the
operator can estab-lish and re-route intercom
calls via simple on-screen windows

Attendance Registration and Access Control
|
|
|
Features
Registration using chip-card with or without
PIN-code, or present key
Access control facilities
All data instantly available to operator
Print facility to reproduce data in several formats
On-screen help facility
|
|
The functionality of Attendance Registration falls
in to two categories: Registration: you can specify
entrance requirements that conference participants
have to meet before entering the conference room.
This normally means participants have to insert an
chip card in an chip-card reader, either at the
entrance to the conference venue or at the
contribution unit. Registration at a contribution
unit can also be by means of pressing the present
key. You can display lists on-screen of all present
and absent participants, and print hard copies of
these lists. There is also a window which can be
permanently displayed on-screen that gives an
overview of all participants who have registered
their presence or absence. Access: the settings
specified for registration can also be used for
access purposes. This means that although
participants can enter the conference venue, they
cannot use any of the contribution unit facilities
(such as microphone, voting, intercom) without first
satisfying access requirements. Access is also
controlled by means of chip cards, with or without
PIN code. There is also an option whereby
participants register their presence at the entrance
using an chip-card reader, and a specific
contribution unit is then made available for them.
You can also control where participants sit by
specifying whether they can occupy any seat or a
particular, pre-defined one. Access: the settings
specified for registration can also be used for
access purposes. |

the Philips Allegiant series of video control
switchers. It selects fixed or pre-positioned
cameras (such as the Philips dome models) to be
activated to display the current active speaker
at a conference. When a chairman or delegate
microphone is activated on the DCN equipment,
the camera assigned to that position is
activated. When no microphones are active, an
overview camera is automatically selected. The
image can be displayed on hall displays or other
monitors together with information about the
current speaker if required (such as delegate
identification). The system operator has a
monitor, which also displays information about
which camera is active. This system provides an
extra dimension to congress and conference
proceedings. Up to 1500 delegate positions can
be covered using a maximum of 256 cameras.
