    Danish Interpretation Systems User Manual 3.3 Aspects of infra-red distribution systems A good infra-red distribution system ensures that all delegates in a conference venue receive the distributed signals without disturbance. This is achieved by using enough radiators, placed at well planned positions, so that the conference venue is covered with uniform Irradiation of adequate strength.
