System Design and Plan

Before using our conference system, there are some basic points for you to plan/design a conference room.

The processor control unit is powered by 110V~220V wide range power supply, while it has a basic control capacity (with power relay devices it can load more devices). Here we list a basic capacity of active units for one processor control unit.

Port

1

| Port

2

| Port

3

| Max.

total

| Max.

total

VIS-DEC-T VIS-DED-T| 0m| 30| 30| 30| 90| 120
05m| 30| 30| 30| 90| 120
10m| 28| 28| 28| 84| 112
20m| 24| 24| 24| 72| 96
50m| 20| 20| 20| 60| 80
100m| 10| 10| 10| 30| 40

The capacity is decided by:

1. Number of active units in the system
2. Length of extension cable from the first delegate unit to VIS-DCP1000

NOTE: Extension cable has direct effect on the control capacity. The longer and extension cable you use, the less power is available to drive the devices connected in the system. You  must to choose the length of the extension cable exactly according to the practical situation

Install in the 19’rack

The central unit can be installed in a standard 19-inch cabinet. The unit has standard accessories of a pair of installation supports. See the following diagram for installation:

CU/DU

Use the CU/DU socket to connect to the chairman/delegate unit or extension main unit and use the VISSONIC tested CAT5E cable or better.

There are three connection ways available for CLEACON conference system.

131.951 mm

1. Hand-in-Hand-Loop-Network is an important feature for CLEACON conference system. You can use this connection way to make the system more steady.

Hand-in-Hand-Loop-Network connection is only available between channel 1 and channel 2,or channel 2 and channel 3,but not valid between channel 1 and channel 3.

2. **Hand in Hand Connection

3. Hand in Hand Connection+ Hand-in-Hand-Loop connection
   

4. Connection box+ Hand-in-Hand-Loop connection
   

CONTROL

Full digital conference system can use a variety of control systems via RS-232 serial interface.
Upper COM connected to video switcher/matrix for camera tracking or connect to the central controller

The default switching command is
Baud rate：9600bps, parity:8，Stop: 1

If you need other commands is needed to tell us for update the firmware.

Bottom COM connected to cameras or HD camera auto tracking controller VIS-MSDI.

COM port pin is described as follows：

Configuration and Operation

Configuration on the VIS-DCP1000

Use the configuration menu of the processor unit to configure the processor and the system.

Use the ETHERNET socket to connect to the PC and use CAT5 cable or better.

Basic Setting

The indicators show the system working status MIC mode ‘Override, Voice, Open, Apply’ ,the maximum active number ‘1,2,4,6’,volume output ‘0dB’, ‘-3dB’, ‘-5dB’, ‘-10dB’, ‘-15dB’, ‘-20dB’ and USB recording status.

MIC mode

On the main screen, press the button ‘Mode’ to set the microphone mode. When the conference processor is connected to the PC, you also can set the microphone mode from the PC software.

Apply
Voice
Override| The microphone mode of           CLASSIC-D conference system
Mode| Description
---|---
Open| In the open mode, delegates can enable their microphones with the microphone button on their contribution units. When the maximum number of delegates speaker, the next delegate that enables his or her microphone is added to a request-to-speak list. The microphone is not enable until another delegate disables his or her microphone.
Apply| In the apply mode, delegates can apply to enable their microphones with the microphone button on their contribution units and the green LED on MIC will be on. When the chairman unit press the APROVAL button to enable the applying delegate microphone according to the applying order. When the maximum number of delegates speaker, the system allowing the same maximum number of applying microphone on the waiting list.
Voice| In the voice mode, the unit will be activated by the voice and no need the press the MIC button.
Override| In the override mode, delegates can activate their microphones with the microphone button on their contribution device. When the maximum number of delegates speak, the next delegate that activates his or her microphone automatically deactivates the microphone that was activated for the longest time.

Press the button ‘ACTIVE MICRO’S’ to change the max. active MIC number.

2. Press the button ‘MODE’ and ‘ACTIVE MICRO’S’ at the same time and hold.
3. Switch on the system
4. All the indicators will lighting on/off two times and release the buttons.
5. The default setting is ok.

Camera Auto-tracking Setup & Application

Here we need to install the software “Digital Conference Menu Control” and set your PC to the same IP range,192.168.10.XXX.
Connect the Software to the main unit VIS-DCP1000 and start set the camera tracking.

the camera model, The value ‘CUSTOM’ mean the processor connect the camera tracking controller VIS-MSDI and the preset information is saved on the camera controller and don’t need to set the sub-menu ‘ Camera map ‘ and ‘Start Set’
Camera map(Note: If you use the cameras  using SAMSUNG  or PELCO-D  protocol need to set this menu.  Use  VISCA protocol, no need to set this menu)| Camera select Camera addr. Video channel| 001 to 016
Off,001to 255
Off,001 to 255| Camera select –select the camera to setup, there totally support 16 cameras.
Camera addr. –set the camera address for the camera selected on submenu ‘Camera select’.(if SAMSUNG,PELCO-D need to set the address, VISCA is not need to set as Off) Video channel –Bind the camera(which set on submenu ‘camera select’) to the video channel number of video switcher, .(There are no video switcher connected to the main unit for camera tracking by RS232, just set as Off.)

Note: To set next camera, we just repeat the same steps:

‘Camera Select->’Camera add’ ->’Video channel’

The main unit will record every times of setup for each cameras.

Start Set| –| 01 to 16| Select the camera no.1 to 16 to start the camera tracking setting.

Step 1 :Select H01H on main unit for no.1 camera Step 2: Adjust the camera to shoot the microphone.
Step 3 : Press ON and press Off the microphone that camera are shooting
Step 4 : Adjust the camera to shoot the next microphone.
Step 5 : Press ON and press Off the microphone that camera are shooting
Step 6 :Repeat the step 2 to step 5 until you preset all position for the camera ’01’
Step 7 : Select H02H on main unit for no.2 camera
Step 8 : Repeat the step 2~step 6 to finish the camera ’02’. More camera are set as the same way.
Step9: After setting the last microphone (on and off the MIC),we can adjust the camera to give a full view of the meeting and press ‘ESC’ to quit from the menu of ‘Start Set’. The preset of full view will be active while there are no microphone on.
Note: When exit the camera setting, the system will record the final camera position as the full view preset, so we finish the setting of last MICs covered by this camera, we need to adjust the camera to get the full view preset and next to exit the setting of the camera. (You can consider the chairman unit as the full view preset.)

Example

here we need to set up 2 cameras with VISCA, SAMSUNG/ PELCO-D or CUSTOM protocol and switch the video by a video switcher or camera auto-tracking controller VIS-MSDI

Step 1.Connect the main unit to the cameras or camera auto-tracking controller VIS-MSDI with the bottom CONTROL port.

1. Use the VISCA protocol camera

2. Use the SAMSUNG/ PELCO-D protocol camera

3. Use the CUSTOM protocol camera (Set up the camera auto tracking by VIS-MSDI, please reference its user manual)

Step 2. If we don’t use the VIS-MSDI on Step 1,here we need a seamless video switcher or HDMI camera switching recorder VIS-CRS02 to switching the video from cameras, we need to connect the main unit to the video switcher or switching recorder VIS-CRS02 with the upper CONTROL port.

1. RS232 control the seamless video switcher

2. RS232 control HDMI camera switcher and recorder VIS-CRS02.

Step 3 Set the camera information to the main unit by the front panel and adjust camera to shoot the position by remote controller ,keyboard controller or CLEACON conference software as the bellowing step flow.

Chairman unit and delegate unit operation

Microphones

The colors of the LEDs of the microphone buttons and the LED ring of MIC show the condition of the microphone that connected to the discussion unit
