RELATED APPLICATIONS

The Expert Recommends - TAIDEN HCS-8348

Wesley SutliffDirector of Product Management

recommends the TAIDEN Multimedia Terminal for council chambers.

Why are council chambers a great example of how the Multimedia Terminals can be used?Council members can research and access valuable documents, such as agenda topics, with the same device they will use to speak and to vote. Each member has its own personal 10” monitor for watching presentations and all information is right at their fingertip.

Why is an “all-in-one” system superior to an integrated system of components?From a technical position, the importance concerns the number of possible failure points. An “all-in-one” solution provides the same number of features for the council members, but only represents one possible failure point. An all-in-one system like the Multimedia Terminal represents simplicity; it is more user-friendly with only one device to operate, and easy to maintain.

Legislative chambers - City council chambers - Courtrooms - Situation rooms


CorporateConference systems for corporate environments must have all the functionalities that will support the smooth running of meetings while adapting to the overall design and use of the space: from elegant permanently furnished boardrooms to multipurpose meeting rooms used by different groups and frequently rearranged. Time is of the essence in meetings and intelligible audio is critical to facilitate quick and accurate communication, particularly for teleconferencing applications. Media Vision provides wired tabletop and flush-mount conference microphone units or wireless units for rooms requiring more flexible setups. All solutions can integrate with third party video conferencing systems and room combining is always an option.


The Expert Recommends - TAIDEN HCS-5302

Patrick HerlihyDirector of Sales - North Americarecommends the wireless

system for teleconferencing and videoconferencing.

How to improve the quality of audio in teleconferences?The closer you get the microphone to the person speaking, the better the quality of the audio. Thus, gooseneck mics sound better than ceiling or boundary mics. With a conference microphone, you also benefit from the onboard loudspeaker that allows you to reduce the output of the overhead PA, and you can limit the number of mics that are on at one time. This all means less noise in the system for attendees on the far end.

Can I hold teleconferences in divisible rooms using wireless microphones?Yes, the TAIDEN wireless solution uses digital infrared transmission technology so you don’t need to worry about RF interferences. You can use the same system in adjacent or combinable spaces. Microphones can easily be shared between different rooms without need to change settings.

EducationToday’s students are accustomed to a highly interactive world. In order to consistently engage them in the learning process, all classrooms must be equipped with technology that encourages collaboration. Conference systems create opportunities for a more interactive learning environment which studies show helps improve retention, leading to higher test scores and grades.Conference microphones support increased intelligibility for the students; with localized speakers, the instructor’s voice sounds nearer and clearer. The sound quality is also improved on the far site in distance learning applications. As an option, microphones are available with polling buttons that will allow the instructor to measure retention percentage levels with a few quick questions.


The Expert Recommends - TAIDEN HCS-48U7DMIC

Olivier BlainProduct Manager - Europe

recommends this flush-mount microphone for university

lecture halls.

Why should universities invest in student microphones?Giving students access to a microphone is sending them the message that their voice counts. This encourages participation to create a real student-instructor interaction and assist in providing a quality learning experience for all. Conference systems are also very valuable for distance learning applications; offering perfect audio capture, and the possibility to control cameras to follow active microphones, they help automate the teleconference process required to tie classrooms together.

Why a flush microphone? They are easier to keep clean and maintain for universities. Students cannot move flush units around their table or take them outside of the room. The gooseneck can be removed when units are not in use. As an option, we also have microphone models with fixed goose-necks, and units with cover plates to hide all electronics.

The Expert Recommends - TAIDEN HCS-5100R

Jack De KeyserDirector of Sales - Europe

recommends TAIDEN Infrared Receivers for international

congresses.

What unique features of the TAIDEN receivers make them valuable for multilingual conferences?The large LCD display on our language receivers is very appreciated by end-users. The complete language name is displayed – in addition to the channel number – allowing users to quickly identify and select their preferred language. In addition, these digital infrared receivers have a 270° super wide reception angle offering a great signal pickup.

How is the technology adapting to the growing support for linguistic diversity? In 2015, TAIDEN has released a 40-channel digital infrared receiver; previous solutions on the market were limited to 32 channels or less. This is a forward-looking solution offering relief to key users such as institutions of the European Union.

How does the cabling topology differ between the Multimedia and the Video Monitor Solutions?The TAIDEN Multimedia Terminals differ from other TAIDEN wired solutions in that power is on a separate cable. Audio, video and data are transmitted across Cat6 cable and daisy chain together like a network. The power cable is tapped off from a few dedicated runs and isolated against any power failure from an individual terminal.

The Video Monitor Delegates, on the other hand, connect the same way as other TAIDEN systems: using 6pin DIN connections to daisy chain units together.

How do I load documents on the terminals and what are the acceptable formats?The TAIDEN Multimedia Conferencing System supports many file types, including: .xls, .xlsx, .txt, .doc, .docx, .pdf, .ppt, .pptx, .mp4, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .gif. These documents can be loaded in two different ways, locally at the terminal or centrally at the file server. From the terminal, files can be loaded via USB drive and uploaded to the file server. Or files can be loaded directly to the file server via a PC with access to the proper drive.

What video resolutions can the terminals display? Can the native resolution be HD?The native resolution of the TAIDEN Multimedia Terminal is 1280 x 800, an HD format. However, you can feed the terminals many resolutions and the device will scale appropriately. The TAIDEN HCS-8338 and 8348 terminals will allow:1280x720p at 30, 50 and 60Hz - 1920x1080p at 30, 50 and 60Hz - 1920x1080i at 30, 50 and 60Hz

What are the benefits of digital infrared audio transmission over RF?Infrared uses light waves of 870nm making them too small to pass thru opaque surfaces and therefor making the signal inherently secure. The signal will not broadcast beyond the confines of the meeting space. Radio Frequencies, however, can broadcast thru most solid surfaces. Because Infrared is a completely separate portion of the light spectrum, there are no issues of crossover or interference from other wireless devices or systems.

How many infrared transceivers are needed to cover a conference room?You must take into account the room characteristics such as ceiling height, materials (what are the walls made out of, what color are they, etc.) and even the shape of the room. You must also consider where the participants will be sitting and whether seating arrangements will change. Once this information is known, the coverage pattern of the transceivers is taken into account to determine quantities and placement. The Media Vision engineers are available to help you with this question.

How do you connect to third party video conferencing systems? When selecting a VTC codec, ensure that the device has at least one audio input and one audio output. The TAIDEN Main Unit will have the same, an input and an output. Connect the output of the Main Unit to the Input of the codec and the Output of the codec to the Input of the Main Unit. Adjust levels according to the room and you are ready to use the integrated solution.

What are the benefits of the conference unit onboard loudspeaker?Collectively, the onboard loudspeaker provides a low-level even distribution of sound throughout the meeting room, giving the impression that the person speaking is right in front of you. This is often referred to as “voice lifting” and is intended to provide a higher intelligibility of the signal and a better gain before feedback ratio, due to the closeness of the speaker to the person listening. The speaker will mute when the microphone is active to avoid feedback.

Do you provide product customization for project requirements?Yes, we welcome the design process for creating custom units for specific project needs. While we already have a large variety of shapes, sizes and colors to choose from, we unders-tand the need for a customized product and can support you in creating one.

How many microphone units can I have on one system?The TAIDEN 4100 Series can support up to 4096 contribution units, 10,000 channel selectors and up to 378 Interpreter Units, all on one system!

What elements are offered to protect against system or component failure ? Are there redundancy options?TAIDEN wired systems have multiple layers of redundancy that can be added as options. A redundant main unit can be added to protect against system failure, and extra PC can be added as well. Contribution units can be wired in a closed loop. For the advanced Multimedia Conference System (view section 02), even the power supply and network switches can be made redundant.

Room Combining > For 2 rooms: a direct connection via fiber optic between the main units in each

room is sufficient to allow room combining.> For 2 to 8 rooms: All room main units should centrally connect to the TAIDEN

Room Combiner unit (picture on the left).> For up to 24 rooms: view Campus-wide Room Combining, page 50.In all scenarios, an intelligent central control system should be used to enable room combining and dividing.

Audio MixerThe first digital audio mixer for conference systems gives audio engineers and systems operators control over the audio level of conference microphones, interpreter consoles and system inputs/outputs.> 15-channel hardware mixer, with fader attenuation at a range of -30dB to 0dB.> Dynamic processor with 5-band equalizer for the microphone, line in and line out

channels, and a 3-band EQ for interpretation channels.> Other audio controls: high pass filter, mute capability and peak indicator.

CongressMatrixTM

With the proprietary CongressMatrixTM technology, TAIDEN offers the first conference system to integrate an nx8 audio matrix processor. 8 discrete audio outputs are provided:> Line 1 output: 15 band graphical EQ; 8 band parametric

EQ; dynamic range compressor.> Line 2 output: 5 band graphical EQ; dynamic range compressor.> Group output 1-5: 5 band graphical EQ; dynamic range

compressor; time delay.> Group output 6: 5 band graphical EQ; dynamic range

compressor; time delay.Operators are able to selectively assign units to any number of outputs, and create unique mixes for audio destinations based on conference needs. This is especially useful for combining and separating conference rooms. Connecting to external multi-channel audio devices grants versatile expansion of the system.

Communication ProtocolsTAIDEN solutions incorporate the latest and most-used media networking protocols to ensure seamless communication with third-party systems and the maximum flexibility for signal routing and processing:> Dante: delivering uncompressed, multi-channel, low-latency

digital audio over a standard Ethernet network. Now the preferred choice of AV professionals.

> Fiber optic: Duplex SC single-mode optical fiber interface. to combine two widely separated conference rooms and to operate as one unique coherent system.

> Other: AES/EBU digital input/output, RS-232, TCP/IP, CobraNet.

System RedundancyTAIDEN offers multiply levels of redundancy for hardware and software points to ensure complete reliability at the most important meetings.> Hardware: primary and back up main unit configuration;

with any hard unit failure, the system automatically reverts to the backup unit.

> Software: a secondary computer can automatically resume the conference control functionalities in case of primary computer failure.

In both instances, system switching is seamless, with no human intervention, no loss in audio or data, and unnoticeable to end users.

CAMPUS-WIDE ROOM COMBINING & ASSET SHARING

Campus-wide Room Combining & Asset SharingFor large facilities, where room combination is needed for a large number of rooms and individual assets may be borrowed from one room to another, the TAIDEN design works with two key components: the Local Room & Booth Combiner (1 needed per room) and the General Controller for Room and Booth Combiners. Here again, the fiber optic backbone is used to connect devices and allow room combining with the help of a control system. Up to 24 rooms can be connected; up to 14 rooms can be combined as one system or several smaller combinations all operating at the same time.Enabling room combining allows transmittal of floor audio, all language channels, and meeting management settings. It is also possible to combine and merge data and voting capability. Adding asset sharing is particularly useful for facilities hosting multi-lingual conferences; because of space limitations, having the ability to combine interpretation booths from another room (even if that room is in use) gives superior flexibility to meet the demands of the most complex multilingual meetings.

Houses of Worship

Most houses of worship have acoustical challenges. In addition, older adults – with higher instances of hearing loss – make up a large part of their audience. Assistive listening technology is essential for congregants to hear the service properly and receive the messages of inspiration.

Public Assembly Areas

Most government agencies dictate that public venues shall be made accessible to people with physical disabilities, including hearing loss. This includes a requirement to provide assistive listening systems in all assembly areas, including council chambers, courtrooms, class-rooms or theatres.

Tour Groups

Tour guide systems are used in museums, factories, large corporate campuses and any loud environment where it is essential to keep a group together. A system with portable transmitter will allow freedom of movement and broad-cast the guide’s voice to everyone at a comfortable audio level.
