makes the conference system merge with intelligent
building networks.

CMU and EMU
The congress main unit forms the core of the entire
congress system. It provides power supply to all
contribution units and serves as key component to link
system hardware to application software. One CMU
has two (8P-DIN) trunk-line cable outlets. If more
congress units are needed, additional extension main
units HCS-8600MEA or HCS-8300MEA2 are required,
each EMU has five (8P-DIN) trunk-line cable outlets.
HCS-4800 system maximum capacity: 378 interpreter
units (63 interpreter booths, 6 interpreter units in each),
4096 discussion/voting units and any number of
channel selectors.
In stand-alone mode without a PC, the CMU carries out
basic management facilities, simultaneous
interpretation, electric voting and 64 CHs digital audio
transmission. By operating HCS-4800 application
software in PC-controlled mode, more comprehensive
management facilities can be implemented.

Contribution units
Contribution units are units used by participants to
contribute to a conference and include: discussion unit
(chairman/delegate), voting unit, interpreter unit,
channel selector, etc. The basic contribution unit has
discussion, voting or channel select facility. The
upgraded units combine discussion, voting and
channel select, furthermore built-in loudspeaker,
IC-Card reader and graphic 256x32/256x64 LCD with
back-lighting, forming a wide variety of product series.
The chairman unit has microphone priority facility with
a priority button to switch off or to mute speaking units.
If required, different functions can be allocated to
delegate stations, including listening, discussion,
request to speak, voting, IC-Card sign-in, short
message, information display, etc.
Depending on the option, congress units can be
divided into tabletop, flush-mounted and component.
Each style consists of various products, which
significantly enriches users’ choices.
Low power consumption design is adopted in
HCS-8600 and HCS-4800 series congress units,
convenient for wiring and installation.
All congress units of HCS-8600 and HCS-4800 series
(except HCS-8368/8668/8638/8665 series) are
supplied by the main unit’s 8P-DIN interface. Since the
power capacity of the 8P-DIN interface is limited, it
must be ensured during installation that the added up
values of a) the total power consumption of all
congress units connected in each path and b) the
power loss in extension cables do in no case exceed
the maximum possible value delivered by each 8P-DIN
interface. Otherwise the system will not work properly
or automatic protection will be triggered.

Application software
HCS-4800 application software is comprehensive,
reliable and user-friendly. It is also an easy-care
software system which helps the operator to manage
the conference efficiently from the very beginning of a
meeting until the post-meeting work. Once the PC
installed and the HCS-4800 application software
integrated into the HCS-4800 system, the operator
manages all aspects of the conference centrally. The
operation turns out to be easy and efficient.
HCS-4800 application software have various of parts:
System Setup Management, Microphone Management,
Voting Management, Simultaneous Interpretation,
Multi-User Conference Control Management, Dual PC
Server Hot Spare, Agenda Control, Dual System Main
Unit Hot Spare, etc.

Installation and transportation
Easy installation is another important feature of
HCS-4800 system. HCS-4800 digital congress units
have a 1.5-meter 8P-DIN cable (with male connector)
and a 0.6-meter 8P-DIN cable (with female connector)
or have two RJ45 sockets (cat5e cable with a drain
wire & RJ45 plug with metal shield for connection). All
congress units are connected together in a daisy chain
configuration and connected to the main unit by the
dedicated extension cable.
