The SDC 8200 CU-M central unit
The SDC 8200 CU-M central unit is the core of the SDC 8200 conference and
interpretation system and, at the same time, serves as an interface for
additional audio systems.
Via the operating menu of the SDC 8200 CU-M central unit, the conference
and interpretation system can be configured for any room, any number of
participants and any conference use.
The central unit serves to manage the entire conference and interpretation
system.
On the SDC 8200 CU-M central unit, you can choose between ten
conference modes. However, the selection of some of the conference
modes only makes sense if your conference and interpretation system is
PC controlled.
The SDC 8200 CU-M central unit has a built-in power supply for powering
up to 50 conference consoles. However, it is not possible to interconnect
several SDC 8200 CU-M central units in order to realize larger conference
systems.
The floor channel and four interpretation channels can be operated
license-free.
The system cables
Power supply of the conference consoles is via the system cables which
also transmit the digital audio and status information.
The software control

entire conference via a PC. In contrast to controlling the conference via the
central unit, the software control provides several extra functions:

by name. Individual conference consoles can be directly activated or
deactivated by clicking the mouse key.

Display of voting results as diagrams:
The results of votings can be presented graphically and can, for example,
be displayed via a connected projector. In addition, it is possible to take
voting sessions with chip cards. Chip cards make sure that only those
who have a chip card have access to the voting function.

Configuration of special conference consoles:
The conference manager can configure more than one chairman unit as
well as VIP units.

Interpreter management software:
