CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion System

Power boost and enhanced functionality for CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion System from Bosch

The CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion System from Bosch redefined user-friendliness and meeting productivity in conference technology. Compact yet versatile, the highly flexible system is the ideal solution for small to medium-sized meeting areas – including town halls, local business centers and courtrooms – as well as for mobile installations used by rental companies.

A new extension unit and software update will extend the functionality of the CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion System from Bosch. The system’s extension unit provides extra power, allowing venue owners, rental companies, building managers and participants to expand their CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion Systems to up to 245 devices. In addition, Bosch will provide a software update, which extends the system’s functionality and gives participants and system integrators more flexibility.

Expanding the system to 245 participants
The CCS 1000 D Extension Unit from Bosch allows the system to cater to meetings of up to 245 participants. It can be easily connected to Bosch’s Digital Discussion System and includes a built-in splitter for easy installation at any point in the system. The CCS 1000 D Extension Unit offers three power supply outputs and is protected against short circuits.

Software updates enhance functionality
Multiple users can connect to the central unit to control a meeting or to view the system’s status. For example, a clerk can control the system from his own device in line with city council protocols. With the new interruption microphone setting, a Discussion Device can be set as a central microphone. Positioned at a podium, the device can be used by a guest speaker, overriding all other participants’ microphones. Users can now set the discussion units to standby mode, a feature that both saves energy when meetings are paused and prevents being heard while talking over the unit during breaks.

Furthermore, an Application Programming Interface (API) now enables the individual adjustment of each microphone’s sensitivity and connection to third-party solutions, as well as system control and the retrieval of status information. Using the API, system integrators can now build customized software solutions or interfaces to external applications. Thanks to the software update the CCS 1000 D Digital Discussion System from Bosch ensures also increased compatibility by supporting common third party video switchers.

Congress Rental Network counts on Bosch latest conference technology systems, in order to continue being the leader in the conference and simultaneous interpretation technical support. Constant improvement in the members’ in-house inventory and high-level services are the main factors that challenge each one of them in the conference and events that they support in their every-day business. We thank Bosch for always being by our side and for providing all the time to our members technical solutions, so as our members to be able to answer all their clients’ request and technical demands!

DCN Next Generation Conference System

Bosch introduced some years ago the DCN Next Generation Conference System family. Among this family a number of different devices that are spread among the inventory of all Congress Rental Network members. Most famous and latest addition to this family, the DCN-D Discussion Unit which combined an elegant, innovative design with a superior acoustical performance. With its sleek control panel and intuitive layout, this brand new discussion unit has an instantly familiar feel. The large, ergonomic buttons allow for an easy operation. Advanced acoustic technology makes it easy to hear exactly what’s going on, so that even new users can feel at ease and in control.

The curved shape, slim design and elegant combination of stylish silver and black in a matt finish ensure the DCN-D Discussion Unit perfectly fits with the decor of all kinds of different conference rooms. This is vital to create an environment that encourages constructive dialog.

All discussion units feature built-in loudspeakers, a microphone which can be activated with a single touch, headphone sockets and volume control. Every unit can be configured to become the chairman unit. Once done the unit allows the chairman to control the proceedings by registering requests to speak and overriding delegates with a priority button.

There are five versions of the DCN-D Discussion Unit available. From a basic version with fixed microphone allowing a delegate to simply talk and listen, up to an extended version with pluggable microphone, electronic voting facility and a built-in channel selector for language selection of up to 31 interpretations.

With its attractive design and imp
roved acoustical performance, the DCN-D Discussion Unit fits perfectly into Bosch’s DCN Next Generation Conference System portfolio and offers customers a range of options to best fit their individual conferencing needs.

In 2013 The DCN-D Discussion Unit of the Digital Congress Network (DCN) Next Generation Conference System from Bosch has been honored with the prestigious German iF product design award by the International Design Forum Hannover (iF) in the category “Audio/Video”. The iF in Hannover has been granting its globally recognized design awards since 1953. The jury is made up of 32 international experts, with Professor Fritz Frenkler as its chairman (Frenkler is a German Designer and a professor for Industrial Design at the Technical University Munich in Germany). Among the criteria iF uses to select award-winning products are quality of design, processing quality, material selection, and functionality, as well as brand value and branding.

Moreover, during the same year the DCN-D Discussion Unit, part of the Digital Congress Network (DCN) Next Generation Conference System family from Bosch, has been honored with the prestigious German red dot award for high design quality in the category “product design 2013”. The Design Zentrum Nordrhein-Westfalen has created one of the world’s most internationally acclaimed design competitions, which this year attracted 4,622 entries in the “product design” category alone. The “red dot” itself has long since become a coveted quality mark for excellent design. The award-winning products are displayed in the red dot design museum for at least one year, and bear the red dot logo for the remainder of their life cycle. The winning design of the DCN-D Discussion Unit strikes the perfect balance between aesthetic appeal and ergonomic efficiency.
