1.4 Features
z
Global leadership in high-speed large-scale voting
systems
z
Bandwidth 100 Mbps, voting time for 1000 voting
units less than 1 ms, display time less than 0.5s.
z
System reliability
System reliability, as described below, has always been
the guiding principle while designing Large-Scale
Voting System:
Voting system resistive to 12 kV static, excels
IEC CISPR 24
Waterproof facility of voting units, equipped with
ferromagnetic cover to protect the unit from
damage during the adjournment
Specially designed application software for
large-scale meetings, multiple operating error
protection and debug mechanism
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. While the
main server is processing, data are stored real
time on the back-up server to prevent conference
related information from loss in case of a crash of
the main server, thus improving security and
reliability of the conference system remarkably.
“Closed Loop - Daisy Chain” connection topology:
breakdown or replacement of a voting unit and
connection failure of a cable will not influence
other voting 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
Built-in detection facilities: detect the unit’s LEDs
and voting keys prior to start the meeting.
z
Technological progress
Large-Scale Voting System - based on TAIDEN’s
proprietary development digital processing and
transmitting technologies MCA-STREAM - adopts
embedded hardware structure based on high
performance dual CPUs. 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
intelligent central control system can be integrated into
TAIDEN Large-Scale Voting System to provide the first
complete and efficient solution in the world.
z
System operability
CMU controls efficiently without the intervention of an
operator.
With a PC and system software, more functions can be
achieved. Large-Scale Voting System can also be set
up according to user requirements.
Large-Scale Voting System 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.
z
Outstanding expandability
Large-Scale Voting System supports a maximum of
4096 voting units.
The voting system is modular: just daisy-chain voting
units to set-up a configuration. If extra system capacity
is needed, units can be connected easily, starting from
any access point.
