DIS Digital Discussion Systems

DIS-CCU Central Control Unit

Overview

The DIS-CCU Central Control Unit is the centerpiece of the DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System and the DCS 6000 Digital Conference System. It distributes digital audio, control data, and power to chairman, delegate, and interpreter units over a standard shielded CAT 5e (or higher) cable in serial ‘daisy-chain’ topology using the proprietary DCS-LAN protocol.

The DIS-CCU includes 2 analog audio inputs for external audio sources, and 8 analog audio outputs for connection to a videoconferencing system, audio/video recorder, sound reinforcement system, or wireless language distribution system.

The DIS-CCU distributes the ‘ﬂoor’ audio mix plus interpretation channels to each discussion or conference unit. Up to 8 microphones may be active simultaneously. Four different microphone operating modes are supported: Automatic, First-In/ First-On (FIFO), VOX (voice activated), and Manual.

A web browser interface allows microphone control and system conﬁguration using a computer or tablet. Separate web addresses are provided for Administrator, Chairman, and Display functions. A TCP/IP connection is provided for connection to a third-party media control system.

Description

DCS 6000 Operating Mode

As shipped, the DIS-CCU can control up to 250 DDS 5900-series discussion units and 32 interpreter units. When Feature License FL6000 has been installed, the DIS-CCU can be used with either DDS 5900 discussion units or DCS 6000 conference units (but not both at the same time). Additional Feature Licenses are available to expand the system:

•FL6000-3800 Allows control of conference units for up to 3,800 participants and 200 interpreters (with optional hardware)

• FL6000-INT-8, FL6000-INT-16, FL6000-INT-31 Allows expansion to 8, 16, or 31 languages

The DCS-LAN connection can be branched using the RP 6004 Repeater or EX 6010 Extension Unit. Additional conference units can be powered using the PI-6000-XX DCS-LAN Power Kit or by the EX 6010. Inserting JB 6104 Junction Boxes in the DCS-LAN chain enables hot-plugging up to 4 discussion or conference units.
