Introduction

The SW 6125 Advanced Speech Time Control software module enables the use of speech timers in a DIS
DCS 6000 system in combination with the DIS SW 6000. The speech time is used to display the
remaining/elapsed speech time and apply speech time limits for the meeting participants.
The speech time can be configured for the individual delegates, for all the delegates, for groups of delegates
and for combinations of groups and individual delegates in terms of four basic speech time configurations:
•
Delegates (All)
•
Delegates (User Type)
•
Manual
•
Group
The Delegates (All) speech time configuration enables the same speech time for all the delegates. All the
delegates can for instance have 2 minutes of speech time each.
By applying the Delegates (User Type) speech time configuration it is possible to differentiate between the
delegates and assign different speech times to the delegates based on their user type.
The Manual speech time configuration allows for 9 manually activated speech timers. The Manual speech
time configuration differs from the other speech time configurations by being completely unaffected by the
microphone activity.
The Group speech time configuration makes it possible to classify the delegates in groups and assign
different speech times to the different groups. Every time a delegate in the group speaks the speech time is
deducted from the group speech time. If two delegates of the same group speak at the same time, the group
speech time is reduced by the amount of speech time corresponding to the total speech time of the two
delegates. The Group speech time configuration can be combined with individual timers as well based on
either the Delegates (All) configuration or the Delegates (User Type) configuration. If a delegate reaches the
individual speech time before the group speech time, this delegate is not allowed to speak anymore. Similar,
if a group reaches its speech time limit before the individual group members' speech time limits have been
reached, the delegates are not allowed to speak anymore.
Common for all the speech time configurations is that the configurations can be configured to re-apply or
accumulate every time a delegate activates a microphone. Two alarms are available; one to indicate that the
speech time is running out and the other to indicate that the speech time has timed out. The timers can be
configured to keep counting even thought the speech time has been reached or the timers can be set up to
close the microphone at time out.
The speech time configurations can be changed during the meeting; either from one configuration to another
or the configuration itself. The configurations can be changed manually by loading in a new configuration or
automatically by starting conferences, setting agenda subjects etc.
