Applications The DIGIMIC system offers a large variety of applications. The following pages reveal some application samples. You will find more sample applications in the chapter “Sample applications” from page 87. A basic application was presented in the previous chapter.

Extension to the interpreter application With the DDol interpreter console and the CMic CSV delegate unit, DIGIMIC can be expanded to a complete interpretation system. CMic CSV have built-in channel selector for listening to the respective language channels.

Up to 75 wired delegate units on 3 lines (without DExt) Up to 300 wired delegate units on 3 lines incl. 3 DExt / Line-Out) More information of the interpreter console is available in a separate manual.

QuickStart

DIGIMIC® wired 20

Software remote control application At any time the system can be expanded with the DMicControl software. TCP/ IP communication is utilized to offer microphone control and name handling as well as other conference requirements.

For controlling the microphones via software, a PC/Laptop with installed DMicControl software is required. The communication between the DCen central control unit and the DMicControl software is established via a TCP/IP network interface. Please connect your computer system (PC or Laptop) to the LAN connection socket shown on page 31.

The DCen central control unit can be connected to any standard TCP/IP network. Depending on your network structure the network settings have to be adjusted. (Please refer to page 48)

DMicControl is highly flexible and sophisticated control software for BRÄHLER microphone and conference systems. Use the DMicControl software to comfortably manage over thousand delegate units within one system, attach names for each delegate and provide yourself the best possible overview of your microphone status and arrangement.

To assign delegate units to a button on a geographical layout it is necessary to assign so-called seat numbers to each microphone unit. This can easily be done with the DCen central control unit (please refer to chapter „Seat numbering menu” on page 42). Seat numbers are used to identify the connected chairpersons and delegate units for remote switch on/off via software and/or microphone switchboard.

For larger arrangements and/or clear overview, DMicControl supports up to four monitors (or LCDs) within one system. Operation can be done via mouse, keyboard and/or touch screen.

For more information regarding to the microphone controlling options with the DMicControl software please refer to the separate DMicControl operating instructions or contact our sales department.

Upgrating to wireless application DIGIMIC microphone units DMic and DChair can be used either wired or wireless! To make a wired unit wireless, simply replace the wire with the docking station, which ensures the reliable communication with the DSpark transmission console. The docking station DDoc transforms the delegate’s conference unit DMic (DChair) into a wireless conference unit, just by sliding in the delegate unit on top. Once the microphone button is pressed the unit will be recognized, and configured completely automatically. The integrated rechargeable lithium-polymer battery ensures continuous operation for up to 20 hours. A low power level of the battery pack will be indicated on the DDoc and within the DCen Control software. The wireless DIGIMIC is based on an intelligent transmission protocol, which assures the audio quality and reliability of a wired conference system, combined with the flexibility and freedom offered by wireless.

DIGIMIC® wired 22

Audio and loudspeaker system applications The DCen allows different audio routing settings (see examples on the following pages).

DEFAULT audio routing

CHAIRPERSON audio routing

INDIVIDUAL audio routing To activate one of these settings please refer to page 51.

DEFAULT audio routing A standard conference setup normally consists of a dais/podium (A) where usually one or two chairpersons and several VIPs are located. All other delegates (B) are distributed to the rest of the floor.

The default audio routing settings of the DCen already offer some routing functions which allow accomplishing a clear sound without any complicated adjustments.

Built-in loudspeakers If there is no external PA system required, e.g. for a smaller round table seating, you can use the built-in loudspeakers of the delegate units. To adjust the volumes please refer to page 36.

Loudspeaker system If all audio signals of all connected delegate units have to be connected to a basic loudspeaker system, you can do so by using the main output (F).

Analogue mixing console, SI- or recording system Main output (F) can also be used for distributing the microphone signals to a mixing console/SI system or any recording device in this scenario. If you need more outputs for several distribution options please refer to page 26 „INDIVIDUAL audio routing“.

Podium/Floor If you want to amplify the dais separately from the floor, you have to simply connect the microphone audio output OUT1 (G) of the podium delegate units (A) and the three audio outputs OUT2-OUT4 (H, I, J) of the floor delegate units (B) to a mixing console (K) separately. This way you can adjust the different microphone branches individually according to your loudspeaker system and room configuration.

Digital mixing console If you are running a digital mixing console (C) with the common ADAT interface you just have to connect the ADAT output to the ADAT input of your digital mixer.

As long as the menu is active, the microphone ring works as a "cursor" symbol: A VIP-unit whose position is described in Line 4 („Unit"), has a blinking LED ring. With the buttons C and D, the cursor will be moved down (smaller units and / or line number) and upward (larger units and / or line number). The adequate selection will be shown in Line 2: If the selected unit is not a VIP-unit, you can switch over to a VIP-unit with button 2.

If the selected unit is a VIP-unit, you can switch over to a non VIP-unit with button 2.

If the selected unit is a chairperson unit, this status will be shown in Line 2, and is not changeable. A chairperson cannot be assigned a VIP status.

The status of the units will be displayed also by the microphone button and ring indicator lights:

Ring indicator and microphone button off: No VIP. Ring indicator and microphone button on: VIP. Ring indicator flashes and microphone button off: This unit is selected in the menu (cursor) and is

not a VIP-unit. Ring indicator flashes and microphone button on: This unit is selected in the menu (the cursor) and

is a VIP-unit. Additionally to the setting procedure with the menu, the status can be changed at the unit on site while the menu is active. The current status can be switched over by pressing the microphone button, then the cursor will be also placed on this unit. To change the status of a DChair unit is of course not possible.

Networking menu The default network setting is „Dynamic“, where the DCen central control unit receives all necessary settings automatically from a DHCP-server on the network.

The networking menu is spread over seven pages.

Line 1 shows the current menu “Networking”. The X in the upper right corner is a „Close-Gadget“: button 1 brings you back to the main menu. The menu title and the possibility to go back to the main menu is the same on all pages. With button 2 you can scroll through the parameter pages. The right side of Line 4 shows the current status dynamic or static. With button 4 you can toggle between Dynamic (automatic) and Static (manual) address assignment.

Static and dynamic address assignment With button 4 you can toggle between Dynamic (automatic) and Static (manual) address assignment. Use “Dynamic” if the DCen central control unit is connected to a DHCP network which can provide the necessarily network settings (e.g. IP-address, In-house-net) Use “Static” if the DCen central control unit is connected to a network without a DHCP server (e.g. Peer to Peer network, PC directly with crossover cable) entering the necessary values manually.

During changeover from Static to Dynamic address assignment there may be a few seconds delay until a server is found and the address is assigned. During this time, as address 0.0.0.0 is displayed. If this setting hasn’t changed after a few seconds to a valid address, no DHCP server is available in the network or refuses to provide the DCen address allocation.

Networking parameters The networking menu consists of seven pages with the following indications and parameters:

TCP/IP Address This is the IPV4-address of the DCen central control unit.

In this sample it is the dynamic address assigned from the DHCP-Server. This can be seen that besides the button 3 "Edit" does not appear.

The group Call Channels has the input channels CC to call the chairperson and CO to call the operator. The edit function retrieves the Audio Matrix Call Channel Menu.

All of the selected inputs Channel Line and Int Channels are added by the audio processor and sent to the selected output. The Call Channels, however, have priority over that the sums, that means, if an output is selected for both C1 - 4 / D1 – 4 and Call Operator, then the sum of all microphones usually is at this output. Except an interpreter presses the CALL button on the DDol, then the interpreter console has priority at this output.

Audio-Matrix Line Channels Menu

In the Audio Matrix Line Channels menu, input channels of microphone units can be selected to configure a total output sum.

In the first line is displayed, which one of these audio matrix is to be assigned. With the button 1 the menu is left. The second line shows the output and the input group. In the third and fourth lines are the eight menu items. By pressing simultaneously a line key (3 or 4) and a key column (A to D), the selection for each channel is switched. Selected inputs are marked with a tick. The inputs C1 to C4 are from the President units on lines 1 to 4, the inputs D1 to D4 are from to delegate units. So in the example above, the delegate and chairman units from line 1 are assigned to the output group.

Audio-Matrix Call Channels Menu

In the Audio-Matrix Call Channels menu you can assign, whether the current output channel is available for intercom function of the interpreter. This channel is used for queries of interpreters.

In the first line is displayed, which one of these audio matrix is to be assigned. With button 1 the menu is left. The second line show the assigned input of the respective output groups. Using the button 3 and 4 you can assign, if this output channel is available for the call operator functions (DDol call button) and / or call Chairman (DDol button chair). These selections have priority over the sums of all other input groups. When an interpreter presses his call button, then only this microphone signal comes out of the corresponding output.

Advanced Audio Routing Menu With button 2 from the "Audio menu" you get into the Advanced Audio menu. Here are additional audio functionalities available:

Button 1 leads back to the audio menu. With button 2 the clock source of the whole system can be selected cyclically. The selected clock is automatically the beat of the outgoing ADAT and AES / EBU connections. The choices are: MASTER (Wordclock Master) DCen generates the wordclock itself, (48kHz)

AES/EBU (Wordclock Slave) Clock will take over from the incoming AES/EBU signal

If the clock source has been detected, and is within the specified limits, a check mark appears before the name of the clock source. If the selected clock source failed or the delivered frequency is outside the specified limits, the DCen continues working with the internal master clock without interruption. Pressing button 3 you can switch on the "Floor on channels" option. If it is enabled, outputs with non-active interpretation channel in the routing will transfer the floor signal (the original). This is e.g. important when a signal is sent to a language distribution (INFRACOM). For other purposes such as media distribution, an original (floor) signal on not active interpretation channel is undesirable. In the fourth line, the local microphone feedback can be adjusted. This is important if two DCen are coupled via ADAT. Example: one of the DCEN is connected to the interpreter units and the other DCen is used for the delegate units. In this case you have to connect both via ADAT and set to "external". The feedback level of the DCEN with the delegate units is set to maximum. The level of the feedback can be controlled with the buttons C and D.

When using an external wordclock device, please make sure that the sample rate (clock frequency) is 48 kHz and the crystal accuracy provided by the external device has a maximum tolerance of +/- 10ppm.

Booth Numbers Menu While this Booth Numbers menu is active, you can adjust the booth number on each interpreter console DDol with the programming button.

With button 1 the menu can be left. The booth numbers range is from number 1 to 127. Zero means that the interpreter console is not assigned to a booth.

Takeover Mode In this menu the available settings for a channel takeover are done. The selectable takeover modes are:

No Handover or Takeoff This console cannot take over a channel from another DDol occupied channel.

Handover AKA passive Takeover

This console can request for the takeover of a channel that is occupied by another console in the same booth. If the channel is free, then this console automatically switches to the requested channel.

Active local Takeover This console can take over an occupied channel from another console in the same both (except a master takeover console).

Active global Takeover This DDol console can take over an occupied channel from any other console (except a master takeover console).

Takeover Master Like in active global takeover mode a master console can take over another occupied channel from a console, but is sure protected of the removal of his channel.

When calling the menu, the DCen determine, whether all DDol consoles have the same mode or not. If all consoles are on the same mode, then this is displayed in the fourth line. Otherwise "Individual" is displayed at the bottom, and the command "Set all" is not available as long as any valid mode is set with + (button D) or - (button A).

DSpark Settings Please refer also to the DIGIMIC wireless manual.

When calling the DSpark settings you will see the following menu:

Button 1 leads back within the menu. In Line 2 is displayed on which communication line (e.g. Line 1) and at which position in that chain (e.g. Unit 1) a DSpark is connected. If multiple DSparks are connected to the DCen with button 2 you may switch to the next DSpark. In Line 3 is displayed the current selected parameter of the DSpark. Press button 3 to toggle through the parameters. The corresponding values or actions are displayed in Line 4. DSpark setting menus: Register Control (see following pages) Standby Timeout

Multi-Room Control Protocol Selection

RF Power RF Spectrum Setting Configuration File Register File System Info Factory Defaults

Register Control In that section you can show / edit the register list status of the recognized DDoc units by the DSpark.

If the register list of recognized DDoc units is empty this is displayed with “None Online”. That means there are no units registered by the DSpark. If at least one unit is registered, the display switches to “Erase”. With button A you can now delete the list. With button D you can change the state of the register list between “Opened” (new DDoc units can be added to the list) and “Closed” (further [unregistered] DDoc units are not accepted). These features are important for multi-room functionality to particular assign DDoc units and close the existing list.

Opened: new DDoc units can be added to the register list (Setup scenario) Closed: further DDoc units are not longer accepted (Conference scenario)

Standby Timeout DIGIMIC wireless is equipped with a so called “Standby mode” to ensure power saving option e.g. for shorter breaks or overnight. You can choose between two values: fall asleep (“Default”) or switch off (“Retire”). These settings can be done in the “Standby Timeout” menu.

With button A you can select the mode for the DDoc after timeout. “Power” stands for power down and “Standby” for the Standby-mode. With the buttons B and C you can increase the timeout in steps of 30 seconds, from 30 seconds up to 6 minutes 30 seconds. Mode and timeout command will be transmitted directly to the DDoc units. With button D or 4 you can switch – independently from time or mode - all registered DDoc units into the “Retire”-mode. This is very useful to save battery power e.g. in conference breaks or overnight. In the display appears “RF Power Down”.

Note: This action will be directly switch off the radio link (RF) and the wireless system is halted (see menu “RF Power” next page).

The Standby function is very useful to save power during breaks or overnight. Once the Standby mode is activated all wireless units fall asleep when the DSpark stops its RF communication with the time selected e.g. if the system is switched off. When you switch on the system again all wireless units will awake by themselves without the necessity of registering by pressing the microphone button during setup. Please compare the number of units with the online information on the DCen menu.

Note: The Standby (Retire) option can only be set once. After you resumed with your meeting, the wireless units will switch off when you switch off the system.

Multi-Room Control To operate multiple DSparks in parallel (Multi-Room operation) each DSpark must be assigned with its own "room no.". There are five different rooms available from 0 to 4. Default value is 0. The room number can be toggled with buttons D or 4.

The room assignment for the accessible DDoc units can be removed by simultaneously pressing buttons A and B. This could be done e.g. at the end of a rental conference. At next power up at a new conference location, these units are looking for a DSpark with any room assignment.

Protocol Selection The protocol selection within the DSpark may be changed with DCen only. There are five different radio protocols (performance levels) available. The currently selected performance level is shown in the fourth display line. These can be altered by pressing buttons 4 or D cyclically. The default value is 1 + standard latency.

DIGIMIC wireless with protocol option #1 is suitable for the most conference areas. Just in case you discover dropouts on the audio or weak RF connections, because of a very strong radio emitter nearby, you can adapt the system accordingly.

Overview of radio protocol data

RF Power In this menu you have the possibility to control the “RF Output Power” similar to the “high-power button” on the DSpark.

On the left of Line 4, the status of the radio link is displayed. This should be normally “RF On”. If the radio link is “Off”, e.g. after a “Retire” command in the menu “Standby Timeout”; “RF Off” is displayed. With button 4 you may turn to HighPower Off, HighPower On or Small Room adjustment.

RF Spectrum Setting This menu offers to alter the settings of the spectrum setting (frequency band setting). The default setting is Automatic. The DSpark analyzed autonomously and continuously the frequency band in order to identify possible interference frequencies and tries to avoid using them. This could for example be a wireless network.

With button 4 or D you can determine manually a used wireless WLAN channel, which should be avoided to be occupied by the DIGIMIC System. In the shown example it is channel 1.

However to ensure a failure free audio transmission DIGIMIC will make use of these channels if required in case of too many disturbances within the 2.4 GHz frequency band.

Additional to the WLAN channels there is a special channel avoiding microwaves. This channel is selected with another pressing of button 4 or D until “Microwave” is displayed.

Another pressing of the button 4 or D leads again to the setting Automatic.

Configuration File The configuration of a DSpark can be read or write by a DCen. This is very useful in two situations: a) you want to copy a configuration from one DSpark to another, or b) you want to make further configuration adjustments on a PC and then write it back to the DSpark. If there is no DSpark configuration file on the DCen in this event you can read this file out of the DSpark with button A.

If there is any configuration file stored in DCen, additional menu items (Erase, Write) are displayed:

With button B (Erase) you can delete the file from the DCen. With buttons 4 or D (Write) you can write the file into the DSpark. If you want to copy a configuration file from one DSpark to another, you have to read the file from one DSpark and write it to the other. On the DCen one DSpark configuration file is administered, independently from unit - or serial number of the DSpark.

The third line shows how much of this space already has been marked as deleted and would be recovered in reorganization. The percentage refers to the used items, so that for example, represents 98.0% fragmentation at 0.3% full not a problem. With the button combination A + B, the file system will be completely erased (formatted). This deletes any custom settings. This change becomes effective only after the system restarts. Attitudinal changes after formatting but before the reboot, however, are saved. If the file system is deleted, then the Erase All and Clean Up options are not displayed. With the button combination C + D the file system to be reorganized (defragmented). If the file system is organized perfectly, then the Clean Up option is not displayed.

Push to talk If this setting is enabled the microphone in non-VOX mode (voice control) switches on by pressing the microphone button and switches off by releasing it. The switching on reaction of the microphone depends on the mode and the current parameters, that means, it is subject to the current limitation with respect to the open microphone for delegates and VIPs. For example, with current settings AUTN with DEL2 and two microphones are already open, then a third delegate get only a request when pressing the microphone button, but not an open microphone. If any of the other delegates releases his microphone button, while a third one still holds his microphone button, his microphone is switched on.

Wireless system expansion

DIGIMIC® wired 83

Wireless system expansion The wired system is upgraded to a wireless system by simply adding the wireless docking unit DDoc whenever needed. This is not available for the devices of the Classic Series CMic and CChair. In today’s conferences different wireless devices, such as mobile phones or Laptop with Wi-Fi communication are necessary and sometimes an essential part of the conference. DIGIMIC plays well with other wireless application which may be using the same medium to communicate: Air. The wireless DIGIMIC is based on an intelligent transmission protocol, which assures the audio quality and reliability of a wired conference system, combined with the flexibility and freedom offered by wireless.

For a wireless system expansion you have to connect a DSpark radio transceiver unit to the DCen central control unit and replace the cable with DDoc docking units for existing conference units, or by adding additional wireless conference units. (refer also to the sample application on page 92) For further information regarding to the wireless system please refer to the operating instructions handed out with the DSpark transceiver unit (digital discussion system – wireless).

Radio Transceiver Unit DSpark in combination with DCen The transceiver unit DSpark ensures a wireless transmission of your delegate units as if they were still hard wired. As part of the DIGIMIC system DSpark is connected to the DCen using one of the D9 connectors and operates as a part of the main system to use all components within one. This ensures that all units, wired or wireless are controlled from one single central control place (DCen). The unique intelligent adaptive proprietary narrow band protocol – apron – combines for the first time ever several wireless transmission security features in one single protocol ensuring co-existence with Wi-Fi systems and resistance against mobile phones or Bluetooth emission.

To provide an inexpensive basic wireless conference solution the DSpark is able to operate autonomously without being connected to the DCen.

DIGIMIC® wired 85

Docking Unit DDoc The docking unit DDoc transforms the pro delegate’s conference unit DMic/DChair into a wireless conference unit, just by sliding in the delegate unit on top. Once the microphone button is pressed the unit will be recognized and configured completely automatically.

If the wired DMic unit is transferred into a wireless unit with DDoc, it must be ensured that the cable was removed before coupling the DMic/DChair with the DDoc.

The integrated rechargeable lithium-polymer battery ensures continuous operation up to 20 hours. A low power level of the battery pack will be indicated on the DDoc and on the rechargeable battery pack itself (momentary switch with LED indication).

DDoc features - Docking / data interface for delegate and chairperson unit - Connection bay for rechargeable battery Rechargeable Battery Pack - Continuous operation time up to 20 hours - Recharging cycles over 1,000 times - Charging status indication - Charging tray for up 10 rechargeable batteries - The rechargeable battery can easily be replaced, even while the system is in operation

Signals Transmitted Data (TxD)

Data sent from DTE to DCE.

Received Data (RxD)

Data sent from DCE to DTE.

Request To Send (RTS)

Asserted (set to logic 0, positive voltage) by DTE to prepare DCE to receive data. This may require action on the part of the DCE, e.g. transmitting a carrier or reversing the direction of a half-duplex channel. For the modern usage of "RTS/CTS handshaking," see the section of that name.

Ready To Receive (RTR)

Asserted by DTE to indicate to DCE that DTE is ready to receive data. If in use, this signal appears on the pin that would otherwise be used for Request To Send, and the DCE assumes that RTS is always asserted; see RTS/CTS handshaking for details.

Clear To Send (CTS)

Asserted by DCE to acknowledge RTS and allow DTE to transmit. This signaling was originally used with half-duplex modems and by slave terminals on multidrop lines: The DTE would raise RTS to indicate that it had data to send, and the modem would raise CTS to indicate that transmission was possible. For the modern usage of "RTS/CTS handshaking," see the section of that name.

Data Terminal Ready (DTR)

Asserted by DTE to indicate that it is ready to be connected. If the DCE is a modem, this may "wake up" the modem, bringing it out of a power saving mode. This behavior is seen quite often in modern PSTN and GSM modems. When this signal is de-asserted, the modem may return to its standby mode, immediately hanging up any calls in progress.

Data Set Ready (DSR)

Asserted by DCE to indicate the DCE is powered on and is ready to receive commands or data for transmission from the DTE. For example, if the DCE is a modem, DSR is asserted as soon as the modem is ready to receive dialing or other commands; DSR is not dependent on the connection to the remote DCE (see Data Carrier Detect for that function). If the DCE is not a modem (e.g. a null modem cable or other equipment), this signal should be permanently asserted (set to 0), possibly by a jumper to another signal.

Data Carrier Detect (DCD)

Asserted by DCE when a connection has been established with remote equipment.

Ring Indicator (RI)

Asserted by DCE when it detects a ring signal from the telephone line.
