Structuring the SDC 8200 system
This chapter provides information on how your system can be structured
and which components are required for the different expansion stages.
Finally, this chapter also gives an overview of additional audio equipment
that can be connected to the system.
Interconnecting the conference/interpreter consoles
Via the system cables, interconnect the consoles in cable strings.

When interconnecting the consoles in strings, please observe the following:
Conference and interpreter consoles can be interconnected in any
desired order.
A maximum of 20 consoles can be interconnected in one string.
Calculate the maximum cable length and ensure that all consoles of a
string are supplied with sufficient voltage (see "Determining maximum
cable lengths" on page 47).
Connecting cable strings to a central unit
Via each of the six ports
string.
Per SDC 8200 CU central unit, you can connect up to 120 (6 x 20) consoles.
Per SDC 8200 CU-M central unit, you can connect up to 50 (e.g. 5 x 10 or
3 x 15 + 1 x 5) consoles.
Calculate the maximum cable length using the "Powercalc.exe" soft-
ware (see "Determining maximum cable lengths" on page 47) in order
to ensure that all consoles are supplied with sufficient voltage.
Interconnecting up to twelve SDC 8200 CU central units
For conference and interpretation systems with up to 1024 consoles, you
can interconnect a total of twelve SDC 8200 CU central units (see "Inter-
connecting several central units in master/slave mode (SDC 8200 CU cen-
tral units only)" on page 54).
You cannot interconnect SDC 8200 CU-M central units.

The three expansion stages

Depending on the number of conference participants, three different
expansion stages are distinguished:
Expansion stage (1) comprising one central unit with up to 20 consoles
Expansion stage (2) comprising one SDC 8200 CU central unit with up to
120 consoles or one SDC 8200 CU-M central unit with up to 50 consoles
Expansion stage (3) comprising several SDC 8200 CU central units with
up to 1024 consoles
