Confidea System
Information
As part of a wired system, the Confidea offers
full functionality such as extended voting
facilities and language distribution. When
connected to a TCS2500 or TCS9000 central
unit, the Confidea set-up becomes an integral
part of the wired system
4.1. General
System Architecture
4.1.1. Components
Confidea is a wireless conference system offering
conferencing facilities over a robust wireless link.
Depending on the model, these facilities include
discussion, voting and/or language distribution.
The delegate units are stand-alone, table top units
that wirelessly connect to the Confidea Wireless
Conferencing Access Point (WCAP). This Access Point
has a built-in web server that allows configuring and
monitoring of the system from any PC or laptop with
a network card, using a standard internet browser.
Depending on the application, Confidea can work as
a standalone system, but can also be connected to
an existing Televic TCS2500 or TCS5500 system.
4.1.2. Stand-alone system
A stand-alone Confidea system offers basic
discussion and basic voting or opinion polling
(depending on the model)
In this case there are no connections to other
systems, except for the Confidea WCAP that can
be connected to a LAN network for monitoring
and configuring.
The Confidea access point (WCAP) will in this
set-up act as a mini central unit, offering all
functionality for a basic discussion and/or
opinion polling application.

Wireless networks
and frequency
bands
The wireless network of the Televic Confidea system
is based on the 802.11 a/g standards.
5.1. Wireless LAN
Most of the wireless local area computer networks
today are based on the IEEE 802.11 a/b/g standards.
These standards were developed by the IEEE
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) in
order to insure inter-operability between different
WLAN vendors. Refer to Table 5.1: Wireless LAN
standardsTable 5.1 for an overview of the different
standards:
Table 5.1: Wireless LAN standards
Additional protocols have been added on top of the
802.11 a/g standards to provide high robustness
against interference from other wireless devices.
These additional protocols also ensure a guaranteed
quality of service for the audio streams on the
wireless network.
The Confidea system supports the following
frequency bands (refer to Table 5.2):

available. Only 3 non-overlapping carriers are
available.
In the “RLAN low” frequency band, there are 8 nonoverlapping wireless carriers. In Europe all of these
wireless carriers can be used. In the USA and Canada
(FCC regulations) only the 4 lowest wireless carriers
Televic Conference Systems

Confidea Wireless System
Installation and User Manual
may be used (5180 MHz – 5200 MHz – 5220MHz –
5240MHz).
Note:
When manually setting the CONFIDEA
wireless carrier, make sure to avoid
channels already occupied by Wireless
LANs or other Confidea systems in the
area.
In the “RLAN high” frequency band, there are 10
non-overlapping carriers. In Europe all of these
wireless carriers can be used. In the USA and Canada
(FCC regulations) these frequencies cannot be used.
In the 5 GHz ISM frequency band, there are 4 nonoverlapping carriers. All of these carriers can be
used.
5.3.2. Use of multiple Confidea
systems
Note:
The user can choose to set the wireless
carriers manually or let the CONFIDEA
system automatically select the best
wireless carrier frequency.
When the CONFIDEA system is set to automatically
select the wireless carrier frequency, the COFIDEA
carrier frequency will be dynamically set to another
channel if another CONFIDEA wireless system
occupies the same channel. This dynamic frequency
allocation ensures that each CONFIDEA system will
be set automatically to different frequencies.
5.3. Frequency Planning
When the CONFIDEA system is set to manually select
the wireless carrier frequency, you must make sure
the CONFIDEA wireless carriers of the different
rooms do not overlap each other.
5.3.1. Use with WiFi base stations
nearby
When the CONFIDEA system is set to automatically
select the wireless carrier frequency, the COFIDEA
carrier frequency will be dynamically set to another
channel if other existing WiFi wireless devices occupy
the same channel. This dynamic frequency allocation
ensures a high robustness of the system even if the
frequency occupation changes during the meeting.
Note:
When manually setting the CONFIDEA
wireless carrier, make sure to avoid
channels already occupied by Wireless
LANs or other Confidea systems in the
area.
When the CONFIDEA system is set to manually select
the wireless carrier frequency, then you must make
sure the CONFIDEA wireless carrier does not overlap
the already occupied WiFi wireless carrier channels.

Installation and User Manual
External Audio Peripherals
Connectivity
PA systems:
Operator Control:
Whereas the Confidea units have a build in
loudspeaker, some meeting rooms are equipped
with external PA systems with loudspeakers
installed on walls or in ceilings.
Systems requiring a great degree of control can be
equipped with the Televic software suite.
Making use of such a setup, the floor language of
the conference system needs to insert into the PA
system. This requires an analog output, which is
available on the central control equipment of both
TCS2500 and TCS5500.
Recording:
Whenever meetings reports need to be written or
audio of meetings is being published on the web,
recording needs to take place during the meeting.
The recording device (hardware or software
solution) needs to have an analog input signal
provided by the conference system. Both the
Televic TCS2500 and the TCS5500 central control
units have 7 analog outputs available. Additional
outputs can be provided by adding external
TCS5500 output equipment to the TCS5500 system.
Audio reproduction:
Feeding external audio signals (music before
meeting, DVD sound, input external microphone,
telephone line, …) into the conference system
requires analog inputs on the central control unit.
Both the TCS2500 and TCS5500 central control
units have two analog inputs. If this is not
sufficient the TCS5500 system has the capability to
connect additional input equipment.
This application makes it possible, depending on
the license, to control the microphones in a
meeting, assign delegate names, control speech
time, display delegate and speech time information
on monitors or projection screens.
It offers easy initialization and configuration
capabilities supporting an easy set-up and breakdown, essential for successive meeting planning
with low delays like convention centers.
Furthermore it visualizes the battery and RF quality
status of all units, giving the operator/technician
the ability to assure no interruptions once the
meeting started.
Camera Control
To enable a camera system to visualize the
currently active Confidea user, a device bus
controller needs to translate the commands
received from the Televic system into preset
positions of the camera control system. Both the
TCS2500 and TCS5500 systems will do the job.
The difference between the TCS2500 and the
TCS5500 system on connectivity level is the way the
communication takes place.
The TCS2500 uses a serial communication protocol,
whereas the TCS5500 system has additional IP
connectivity.

16.2. Advanced Voting
16.3. Interpretation
The stand alone voting setup can be seen as an
informal voting session.
Systems with simultaneous interpretation as a
requirement always require a central control unit in
combination with the interpreter desks.
Making use of a Televic voting software suite enables
following features:
Voting agenda
Installation
Whereas the TCS2500 interpreter desks are of the
table-top type, the TCS 5500 interpreter equipment
can be semi-flush mounted.
Voting session configuration options
Voting result reporting
Conformity Standard
Voting logging
Voting result visualization
All of these options are available for as well TCS2500
as TCS5500 systems.
Main differences between the two systems are:
The ID5500 interpreter desk is conform to the XXXXX
standard and approved by interpreter organizations
as the European Commission (SCIC), United Nation,
AIIC.
Interpretation capabilities
Voting by authority
The Confidea wireless system has the capability to
send up to 12 languages to the contribution units.
Both the TCS2500 and TCS5500 systems are capable
of handling that number of languages.
