1.3 Simultaneous Interpretation and Language
Distribution Equipment
Interpretation.
Using the same trunk-line cabling DCN’s interpreter desks can easily be integrated into existing
systems, offering comprehensive facilities for simultaneous interpretation. The desk can accommodate
up to 15 different language channels, plus the original floor language. A maximum of six desks can be
installed per interpreter booth. They can be used stand-alone or as part of a more comprehensive
system. When used stand-alone, the units built-in microprocessor is manually programmed to allocate
language channels, channel routing and interlocks. In PC operator-controlled systems, the desk is used
in combination with DCN dedicated software, and other interpreter desks (if required) to form a
completely integrated interpretation network. An in-built facility enables direct or auto-relay
interpretation to cater for less well known languages. Each desk has two output channels, one for the
normal interpretation and one for second or auto-relay translation.

Language Distribution
Distribution of languages to individual delegates can be by wired or wireless language distribution
systems. A wired language distribution system uses delegate contribution units that include a language
channel selector, or dedicated language channel selector units. A wireless language distribution system
uses the Infra-red transmission technique.

1.5 Application software packages
A comprehensive range of software packages is available for use with centrally controlled PC-systems.
These packages run under Microsoft® Windows® integrate conference preparation management
and control into this versatile graphical computer environment. Any combination of packages can be
down-loaded according to specific system requirements. DCN software packages are generally used
in larger scale systems where operator control is required.

The PC running the software is connected to the DCN system and therefore has direct
communication links with contribution, interpretation and control equipment via the systems trunk-
line data bus or the CCU’s serial communication port. Therefore all aspects of conference
management can be brought to a single point of control, Leading to increased ease of use, efficiency
and data distribution.
