Architect’s and Engineer’s Specifications
The infrared conference system shall offer flexible system configuration
and up to four separate channels for multi-language meetings. Additional
features shall include an automated camera function facilitating audio
visual integration and the option of software control, allowing the user
to adjust camera position and microphone settings from software.
The infrared conference system shall utilize ID switch methodology for
prompt and responsive unit selection. The chairperson’s unit shall be
permitted to override all other units with the “all finish” function. When
battery life is low, both the power LED and microphone LED shall flash
rapidly as a warning.
Selectable automatic and manual modes shall be offered. In the
automatic mode, the microphone shall be turned on when spoken into
and turned off when there is no voice. The holding time shall be alterable.
In manual mode, pressing the TALK (speech) button shall enable the on/
off switching.
Available components and accessories shall include:
A 19" rackmountable master control unit shall be configurable to control
functions including the number of delegate units with priority settings,
select automatic or traditional button press modes, adjust threshold
for automatic mode and output up to five separate audio channels via
software. The number of units with priority settings shall be selectable.
The master control unit shall provide the option for FIFO “First In first
Out” or FILO “First In Last Out” modes when selecting which order
people speak. Automatic mode and manual or traditional button press
mode shall both be available. Other features shall include: adjustable
threshold setting for automatic mode, adjustable hold time for how long
the microphone stays on after speaking, and direct output of up to 5
separate audio channels that can be output via the software.
A wall- or ceiling-mounted transmitter/receiver shall connect to the
master control unit via BNC coaxial cable. Use of separate distributor
units shall allow up to sixteen transmitter/receivers to be used
simultaneously to cover larger venues.
A delegate unit shall offer unique DSP voice detection, a built-in
loudspeaker, a headphone output and four monitor channels to allow for
multiple language translations. Microphones shall turn on automatically
when a voice is detected. Unique DSP voice detection shall ignore the
sound of rustling papers when using the automatic microphone mode.
Built-in loudspeaker and headphone output for personal amplification
shall negate the need for an additional P.A. system. It shall enable
simultaneous speech by up to 5 people. Four monitor channels shall be
available to integrate multiple language translations.
A dedicated double-gooseneck hypercardioid condenser microphone with
43 cm overall length shall have an XLR-type output for connection to the
delegate unit. The 58 cm-long dedicated microphone shall offer an XLR-
type output for connection to the delegate unit.
A standard version of conference manager software shall be supplied
free of charge with each master control unit, allowing complete control
over all basic system functions, including number of speakers, speaker
order, individual volume, thresholds and audio routing for interpretation
integration. Enhanced features of the software shall increase the
capabilities of the system, permitting audio recording and video
recording, with programmability to allow cameras to follow the delegate
unit currently in use.
A monaural earphone shall offer clear intelligible audio, and provide a
comfortable fit for either ear. A battery charger shall offer 10 individual
advanced monitor sockets, taking 5.5 hours for a full charge. Exclusively
manufactured high-specification LI-240 lithium-ion batteries shall be
designed for the delegate unit. The 1-in 2-out distributor shall allow up
to sixteen transmitter/receivers to be used simultaneously to cover
larger venues.
The specified infrared conference system shall be an Audio-Technica
ATCS-60 infrared conference system.
