Flush-mounted units for permanent conference facilities
Table-top or flush-mounting
Contribution units can be used freestanding on a table-
top, or flush mounted in desks, seat backs or armrests.
Other microphone types such as gooseneck, lavalier and
hand-held are also available, allowing contribution
from non-seated participants such as guest speakers.
DCN discussion units for smaller gatherings and meetings
While table-top units are suitable for portable installa-
tions and for flexible system configurations where
requirements regularly change, the flush-mounted units
are ideal for permanent installation into conference
facility furnishings.
Additional support equipment is also available, such as
microphone stands, mounting facilities, suitcases for
portable DCN systems and interface boards.

1.3 Interpretation and Language Distribution Equipment

Simultaneous interpretation and language distribution
The DCN system offers comprehensive facilities for
simultaneous interpretation and distribution of the
interpretations to conference participants, which allows
it to meet the demands of international, multi-lingual
conferences and congresses.
All interpretation facilities are fully integrated into the
basic system concept, with the digital distribution of the
interpretations using the same trunk-line cabling as all
other system functions. It is therefore a relatively simple
task to integrate language facilities into existing DCN
systems.
The simultaneous interpretation system enables direct
or auto-relay interpretation modes to cater for less well-
known languages. Each interpreter desk has an output
for the normal (primary) language and another for
alternative languages.
Up to 15 different languages
The DCN interpreter desk can accommodate up to
15 different language channels, plus the original floor
language. A maximum of six desks can be installed per
interpreter booth. It can be used stand-alone or as part
of a comprehen-sive system.
When used stand-alone, the built-in microprocessor is
manually programmed to allocate language channels,
channel routing and interlocks. In operator-controlled
systems, the desk is used in combination with DCN
dedicated software (the Simultaneous Interpretation
module LBB 3572) to form a completely integrated
interpretation network.
