1.4 Features

System reliability
System reliability, as described below, has always been
the guiding principle while designing HCS-4100/50
Fully Digital Congress System:

Dual congress main unit hot spare

System software imports the hot-spare dual
server structure by operating the main server and
the back-up server at the same time

Dual connection backup is implemented between
the HCS-4100MA/FS/50 congress main unit and
the HCS-8300ME/FS extension main unit via
optical fiber and Cat.5 cable

“Closed Loop - Daisy Chain” connection topology:
breakdown or replacement of a congress unit
and connection failure of a cable will not
influence other congress units

Built-in communication auto termination function
to prevent system collapse if the TCP/IP cable is
pulled out

Auto recovery function, supports PnP

If PC malfunction happens, the CMU will return to
control status automatically and take over control
of the meeting, ensuring continuation of the
meeting process

System technological progress
HCS-4100/50 Fully Digital Congress System - based
on TAIDEN originated independent intellectual property
rights digital processing and transmitting technologies
MCA-STREAM - adopts embedded hardware structure
based on high performance dual CPU. TAIDEN
conference management system software is based on
Client/Server and hot-spare dual server structure. CMU
and PC use advanced TCP/IP protocol for
communication, perfectly integrated to benefit from
modern technologies.
Furthermore, Conference Sign-in System and Central
Control System can be integrated into TAIDEN
HCS-4100/50 Fully Digital Congress System to provide
the first complete and efficient solution in the world.

System operability
CMU controls efficiently: basic microphone control,
simultaneous interpretation, video tracking, voting -
without the intervention of an operator.
With a PC and TAIDEN conference management
system software, more functions can be achieved,
including enhanced microphone control, simultaneous
interpretation, delegate information management,
sign-in control, meeting data management and
distribution, voting control and output audio processing.
TAIDEN conference management system software can
also be set up according to user requirements.
TAIDEN conference management system software
adopts Client/Server structure - the process of the
meeting is controlled by the operator from any PC
within the same LAN. If PC malfunction occurs, CMU
will return to control status automatically and take over
control of the meeting, ensuring continuation of the
meeting.

Fine extensibility
The interpreter unit of HCS-4100/50 has a maximum of
64 channels (including floor channel) and satisfies the
requirements of large-scale international meetings:
allocating a language for each channel, selecting a
channel, interlock facility. To avoid reciprocal
interference and crosstalk the language of each
channel can be released separately. The system
supports a maximum of 4096 congress units and an
infinite number of channel selectors.
HCS-4100/50 system is modular: just daisy-chain
HCS-4100/50 units to set-up a configuration. If extra
system capacity is needed, units can be connected
easily, starting from any access point.

Economical and convenient installation
In virtue of the fully digital techniques of HCS-4100/50
system, system installation becomes simple and
economical, especially in conjunction with the
economical and durable HCS-4100/50 system
dedicated 6-PIN cable (substitutable by shielded Cat.5
cable). The cable, suitable for the requirements of any
kind of meeting, transmits up to 64 high quality audio
signals, control data and information simultaneously.
Every delegate unit is assigned an individual ID for
convenient setup and perpetual prevention of double
ID.
