Features
The CU can be setup to operate standalone without the need for an operator. The following 5 modes can be chosen using a rotary control on the unit’s top panel:
• Open mode – allows selection of one to four microphones (excluded chairmen microphones) which can be simultaneously active
• Open mode with auto-switch-off – allows selection of one to four microphones (excluded chairmen microphones) which can be simultaneously active. If the delegate does not speak for 30 seconds, microphones are automatically switched off
• Override mode – delegates can override each other simply by activating their microphones. Only one microphone can be active at any one time. (Note: In override mode, delegates cannot override chairmen)
• Chairman only mode – only chairmen can speak. Delegate microphones cannot be activated, even when a chairman is not speaking
• Test mode –checks if system connections are correct. All microphone light rings and contribution unit LEDs light up to indicate that units are properly connected
- Supplies power for up to 50 contribution units
The CU has two trunk outputs for the loop-through connection of contribution units. It is possible to connect 25 contribution units to each trunk output, with a maximum system cable length of 100 m (109.3 yards).
- Provides control for up to 150 contribution units
Up to 3 CUs can be used together in a discussion system to power and control a maximum of 150 contribution units. In this configuration a single CU acts as a master controller for the entire system.
- Built-in monitor loudspeaker
The built-in monitor loudspeaker and headphone socket allow the conference to be monitored.
- Interfaces the system with external equipment
The following equipment can be interfaced to the CCS Ultro Discussion System through the CU:
• External wired or wireless microphone – for guest speakers or audience participation. (Note: The external microphone is muted when the priority button on a chairman unit is
pressed, and when the system is operating in ‘chairman only’ mode)
• External PA system – for transmitting the proceedings to an audience in the same room or an adjacent room
• Tape recorder – for external recording and playing back meetings and discussions
• Audio equipment – for providing background music
• Telephone coupler – to allow a remote delegate to participate via telephone
• External audio processing – an insertion connector is provided
