The Philips DCN Interpreters Desk is designed to be an active part in the overall design of the DCN conference mic system. Like any other DCN device, it can be connected to the same DCN digital cable wherever in the DCN chain.
The interpreter desk is featured with a built-in monitor speaker under volume control which may automatically shut off when a microphone switch is activated on any desk in a booth. Up to 15 interpreter booths can be defined with up to 6 desks per booth. Through software control, an intercom link can be set up directly to an interpreter desk where speaking through an attached handset in a private conversation with delegate unit, the chairman's unit, another interpreter desk or the system operator can be conducted. Also, text messages can be transmitted to the LCD display on an interpreter desk from the PC console.
The Philips DCN interpreter desk is designed with input from the A. I. I. C. (International Association of Conference Interpreters) based in Geneva and also for ease of use, which covers monitoring sections and outgoing sections clearly defined in groups. Under the software control, environments where numerous events are hosted can be created for storing interpreter desk settings on the host PC and downloading the configurations to the desks when a change is required. |
