Component Overview

The DDS 5900 Discussion System consists of the following components:
① CU 5905 Central Unit
The central unit (CU) is the processor for the DDS 5900 system. It provides power and control to the discussion units,
analog audio inputs and outputs for external equipment, and a webserver that hosts the browser interface for remote
system control. Each system uses a single CU.
② Discussion Units
Participants use the discussion units (DU) to speak and listen to other members of the event. A microphone, loudspeaker,
and channel selector are provided for each unit. Units connect in series, simplifying setup by transporting power, audio,
and control data on the same cable. There are two models of discussion units:
■ DC 5980 P Portable Discussion Unit
All-in-one unit that sits on the table surface. It is configurable as chairman, delegate, or interpreter.
■ DC 5900 F Flushmount Discussion Unit
The flushmount discussion unit installs unobtrusively into a table or podium. The modular unit adds functionality depending on the
components. It is configurable as chairman or delegate.
③ Browser Interface
The browser interface provides comprehensive setup and discussion management for the DDS 5900 system. It opens in a
web browser from a computer networked with the CU. Use the interface to manage microphones, assign names and seat
numbers to delegates, and advanced system configuration.
