Connected to Televic wired conference system 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. Televic Conference Systems 2008-09-05 16 Confidea Wireless System 5. Installation and User Manual 5.2. Televic Confidea system 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): Table 5.2: Frequency bands supported by Confidea ISM 2.4 GHz RLAN low RLAN high ISM 5 GHz 2412 MHz 5180 MHz 5500 MHz 5745 MHz 2417 MHz 5200 MHz 5520 MHz 5765 MHz 2422 MHz 5220 MHz 5540 MHz 5785 MHz 5805 MHz 802.11 Standard Release Date Frequency (GHz) Maximum bit rate (Mbits/sec) Modulation type 1999 54 OFDM 2427 MHz 5240 MHz 5560 MHz 1999 2.4 11 DSSS 2432 MHz 5260 MHz 5580 MHz 2003 2.4 54 OFDM 2437 MHz 5280 MHz 5600 MHz 2442 MHz 5300 MHz 5640 MHz 2447 MHz 5320 MHz 5660 MHz Note: The 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequency bands are license free world wide. However you must be aware of country specific limitations and follow them. 2452 MHz 5680 MHz 2457 MHz 5700 MHz 2462 MHz 2467MHz 2472 MHz In the 2.4 GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) band, there are 13 overlapping wireless carriers 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 2008-09-05 17 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.

Televic Conference Systems 2008-09-05 63 Confidea Wireless System 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.

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. Customizable voting result visualization Table 16.4: Voting vs. Televic system Voting TS2500 External Equipment • Authority Result visualization TCS5500 fixed customizable As already described in External Audio Peripherals the number of analog outputs required for recording or needed to connect to an Infra red distribution system will determine the central equipment to be used.

That way it is Televic Conference Systems 2008-09-05 65 Confidea Wireless System Installation and User Manual possible to use the Confidea system without the need to change all the interpreter desks. The PIO unit of the TCS5500 plays an imported role in such configuration handling the floor and interpretation languages between the two systems.
