1.3 System technology
1.3.1 Basic system concept
The system composition of HCS-5300/80 digital infrared wireless conference system is shown in figure 1.2. It is composed of: Digital infrared wireless conference units for
participators Digital infrared wireless conference main unit for
system control Digital infrared transceiver(s) for connection to main
unit The digital infrared wireless conference main unit converts audio and/or control signals into carrier outputs which are transmitted to the digital infrared transceiver(s). In the digital infrared transceiver(s) the carriers are converted into modulated infrared light, sent to all digital infrared wireless conference units. The digital infrared transceiver(s) also receive infrared signals from every digital infrared wireless conference unit and convert the signals into audio or control signals which are transmitted to the main unit.

infrared light has no radio radiation and a license is not required when operating infrared light systems.
1.3.3 Carriers and channels TAIDEN HCS-5300/80 digital infrared wireless conference system adopts 1~8 MHz wave band (IEC 61603 BAND ,,), shown as figure 1.3. This wave band is suitable for the transmission of wide band audio and corresponding signals. Please refer to table 1.1.
Figure 1.3 Standard wave band in HCS-5300/80 system

Figure 1.2 The basic system concept
1.3.2 IR radiation
Audio and control signals of HCS-5300/80 are transmitted as modulated infrared light. Infrared radiation is part of the electro-magnetic spectrum, which is composed of visible light, radio waves and other types of radiation. Its wavelength is longer in comparison with the wavelength of visible light. Infrared light cannot pass through opaque walls and ceilings and guarantees privacy of the meeting by avoiding of being intercepted or disturbed. In addition,

1.4 Aspects of infrared signal transmission

To benefit from the advantages of a digital infrared wireless conference system the signals should be transmitted undisturbed. This is achieved by using digital infrared transceivers well positioned and sufficient in quantity to ensure uniform and adequate infrared radiation for all conference units. When planning a digital infrared wireless conference system, several aspects influencing the uniformity and quality of the infrared signal should be considered. These are discussed in the next sections.
1.4.1 Ambient lighting
HCS-5300/80 system adopts 1~8 MHz wave band, and has very good anti- interference performance (see figure 1.4, figure 1.5).

1.4.2 Objects, surfaces and reflections
Just like visible light, infrared radiation is reflected from hard surfaces and refracted by hyaloid (glassy or transparent appearance) items. Objects in the conference venue as well as structure of the walls and ceilings will influence the distribution of infrared light. Infrared radiation is reflected from almost all hard surfaces. Smooth, bright or shiny surfaces reflect well. Dark or rough surfaces absorb a large part of the infrared energy. Usually, surfaces opaque to visible light are also opaque to infrared radiation. Shadows from walls and furniture will influence the transmission of infrared light. This can be solved by using a sufficient quantity of transceivers. They should be positioned in a manner to provide an infrared field strong enough to cover the whole conference area. Make sure that each infrared wireless conference unit can communicate simultaneously with at least two transceivers to guarantee stable adequate infrared signal transmission.

Figure 1.4 High frequency lights disturbance from HF driven light sources (energy-saving lamps)

Figure 1.5 New generation digital infrared conference system with 1-8 MHz wave band can avoid high frequency
lights disturbance
For meeting rooms with large, unscreened windows, multi-transceiver operation should be considered. For outdoor using, a site test will be required to determine the needed amount of transceivers. With sufficient transceivers, perfect signal transmission can be fulfilled even in bright sunlight.

1.4.3 Infrared service area of digital infrared wireless conference unit

Infrared light is directional invisible light. Infrared wireless conference unit gets best sensitivity when it directly faces a transceiver. Every HCS-5300/80,

HCS-5380 or HCS-5390 series digital infrared wireless conference unit is equipped with infrared glass at its frontage to guarantee maximum receiving angle.

Figure 1.6 Coverage area of digital infrared wireless conference unit 7

1.4.4 Infrared service area of digital infrared transceiver

The type of the digital infrared transceiver determines the covering area. More transceivers can enlarge the covered area. The coverage area is determined by the intersection of the infrared working area of the digital infrared transceivers with the receiving plane determined by the

position of the infrared wireless conference unit. The size and the position of the coverage area are related to the height chosen for mounting the transceiver. If infrared signals between the transceiver(s) and the conference unit can get directly to each other, their intensity guarantees normal communication.

1.4.5 Overlap and multipath effects If footprints of two transceivers overlap, its total coverage area may be larger than the sum of the two separate footprints. In an area with overlap effect, the individual radiation signals of two transceivers are added, resulting in an increase of the radiation intensity, larger than the required intensity.
Figure 1.8 Increased coverage area caused by added radiation power
However, due to the differences in the delays of the signals from two or more transceivers, the signals may cancel out each other (multipath effect). In a worst-case situation, loss of reception at some positions (black spots) may be the consequence. The distance between the main unit and each transceiver must be equivalent to avoid multipath effect.

3.4 Position planning
3.4.1 Precautions in planning the digital infrared transceiver/receiver
Due to strict demands on intensity and stability of infrared signals in an infrared wireless conference system, please read section 1.4 carefully and take all aspects of infrared signal transmission into consideration before planning the mounting position.

3.4.1.2 Stay away from lighting equipment
Although HCS-5300 system has good anti-interference performance to ambient light, the distance of the transceiver/receiver from lighting equipment must be at least 50 cm to guarantee adequate intensity and stability of infrared signals.

3.4.1.1 Avoid direct sunshine
Exposing the transceiver/receiver to sunshine or an infrared illuminant may cause system failure or noise. To guarantee adequate intensity and stability of infrared signals avoid mounting the transceiver/receiver near to an infrared illuminant, as shown in the following figure:

Figure 3.5 Digital infrared transceiver/receiver position (near lighting equipment)
Note: If the position of lighting equipment is higher
than the position of the transceiver/receiver, its disturbance can be ignored.

Figure 3.4 Digital infrared transceiver/receiver position (near window)
Cover the window with a curtain to protect the transceiver/receiver from direct solar radiation;
The distance between the transceiver/receiver and the window nearby must be more than 2 meters.

3.4.1.3 Stay away from wall, pillar and other obstacle
Because objects in a meeting room may cause infrared light reflection (see section 1.4.2), the transceiver /receiver should not be mounted near to a wall, pillar or other obstacle; otherwise, the transceiver/receiver could feature malfunctions by detecting the reflected own infrared signals. The distance of the transceiver/receiver to the obstacle should be at least 30 cm.

Figure 3.6 Reflected infrared light received by the transceiver/receiver
Note: A distance of 30 cm will be adequate to make
the transceiver/receiver unaffected. However, if highly reflective surfaces exist in the meeting room, e.g. mirror, the disturbance still exists. Especially reflections caused by pillars in large halls may cause disturbance.
48

3.4.1.4 Make each conference unit communicating with more than one transceiver As shown in the following figure: when the speaker in the front row speaks in an upright position, the infrared signal will be blocked. In conference rooms with conference units in rows, each conference unit should communicate with more than one transceiver to avoid blocking.
Figure 3.7 Infrared signals blocking So, each transmitter should communicate with more than one receiver to avoid blocking. 3.4.1.5 Stay away from plasma displays When planning an infrared wireless discussion system, plasma displays are not appropriate to be used in the venue. If you want to use plasma displays, infrared wireless conference units and infrared wireless transceivers/receivers should not be used closer than 3 meters to the plasma, or the plasma display should be equipped with an infrared filter.
Figure 3.8 Digital infrared transceiver/receiver position (near plasma display)
49

3.4.2 Planning digital infrared transceiver
The coverage area of the digital infrared transceiver is defined by the distance between the transceiver and the conference unit. Select suitable transceiver type according to the height of the conference room, locate them at reasonable positions and place all conference units within the coverage area.
3.4.2.1 Steps to plan the transceiver 1. Determine the current operating area, e.g. the area
where the conference units are used;

Figure 3.9 Room area and the current operating area
Note: In most applications, the coverage area of
infrared signals is smaller than the area of the whole meeting room. Therefore, first of all, determine the current operating area and the position of the conference units.

Figure 3.10 Two transceivers cannot cover the whole operating area
Apparently, only two transceivers cannot cover the system operating area completely.
Therefore, we select four transceivers and position them evenly in the meeting room. The overlap effect on the border of every transceiver will cover all blind areas (see section 1.4.5).

2. Select suitable transceiver type according to the height of the conference room and determine the coverage area of a single transceiver (see figure 3.3).
Note: HCS-5300TWN/80 Digital IR Tranceiver is
forbidden to use with the HCS-5300TD/ HCS-5300TDS/ HCS-5300TH Digital IR Tranceiver at the same time.

Figure 3.11 Four transceivers cover the whole operating area
Note: The distances between the main unit and every
transceiver must be equivalent to avoid multipath effect.

3. Plan adequate transceivers according to the coverage area of a single transceiver and make sure that they can cover the system operating area;

4. Determine the position of the main unit and distributors (if used). Plan the paths between the transceivers and the main unit according to section 3.4.3. Proceed to cable connection.

50

3.4.2.2 Example for planning the transceiver Square table arrangement
If the transceivers are arranged as shown in the following figure, the coverage area of infrared signals will cover the entire meeting room.

Rectangular table arrangement
Generally: In conference rooms with identical dimensions, the position of the transceivers is determined by the arrangement of the conference units (Figure 2.14 to 2.17)
The following figures show the ideal position planning of the transceivers for a
A) conference style arrangement (circulatory seating)
B) parliamentary arrangement

Figure 3.12 Planning the transceiver (square conference room)
Round table arrangement Apparently, only one transceiver will cover all conference units if these are within the circular coverage area of one single transceiver, However, to avoid blocking communication, two or more transceivers are indicated.

Figure 3.13 Planning the transceiver (round table arrangement)
51

A) Conference style seating (circulatory seating)
Within the circulatory seating operating area of the conference units, the transceivers must be placed evenly. Make sure that all conference units communicate with at least two transceivers.

B) Parliamentary seating
If the transceivers for parliamentary seating would be placed evenly as shown in Figure 3.14, transceiver No. 1 could only communicate with the few conference units in the last row (left row in Figure 3.16), compared to the transceiver placed over the front row. The reason is that the infrared receiving glass is at the frontage of the conference unit and is orientated to the podium. Therefore the transceivers are now placed according to Figure 3.16. Transceiver No. 1 was moved to the right compared to Figure 3.14. The transceiver in the front row can effectively enlarge the coverage area.

Figure 3.14 Arrangement according to the seating style (conference style seating)
The following figure shows the position planning for conference style seating if the conference rooms have distinct areas.

Figure 3.16 Arrangement according to the seating style (parliamentary seating)
The following figure shows the position planning for parliamentary style seating if the conference rooms have distinct areas.

Figure 3.15 Planning the transceiver (conference style seating)
Figure 3.17 Planning the transceiver (parliamentary seating)
52

Balcony venue
In a balcony venue, with a higher ceiling and the shielding from the gallery, the transceiver planning must depend on the height of the ceiling and the style of seating. For example, HCS-5300TH/80 can be used to communicate with the units on the chairman platform and the ground floor for the area not shaded by the balcony.

3.4.3 Planning the path from main unit to transceiver
3.4.3.1 Cautions for cable connecting
The distances between main unit and every transceiver must be equal
If the footprints of two transceivers overlap, the conference unit can receive infrared signals from more than one transceiver. As described in section 1.4.5, overlap effect or multipath effect will occur: the intensity of the receiving signals is enhanced if the two signals have the same phase; but the intensity of the receiving signals will weaken if the two signals have the reverse phase. To avoid multipath effect, the distance between the main unit and all transceivers must be equal. As shown in the following figure, all cables for “A” must be identical in length when the transceivers are installed in the same space.

Figure 3.18 Planning the transceiver (balcony venue)

Figure 3.19 Without distributors, all the cable lengths must be equal
Cable length between main unit and transceiver should not exceed 60 m
Cable length A should not exceed 60 meters in the previous figure.
Avoid parallel cabling of high voltage (power) cables and the cables between the infrared transceivers and the main unit
Communication between infrared transceivers and the main unit may be interfered by high voltage. To reduce the risk of interference, avoid parallel cabling with high voltage cables (includes mains voltage). If this cannot be avoided, please shield the cable with iron pipe.
53

3.4.3.2 Using distributor If using distributors, do not use more than one distributor in one branch, or it will increase high frequency signal loss and may cause system fault. Connections to transceivers with and without distributors in the branch, cannot work together in one system. When installed in several rooms, the cable splitter must be connected to the main unit directly and the cable lengths to different rooms do not need to be equal, as shown in figure 3.20. All cable lengths B1 must be equal; All cable lengths B2 must be equal; B1 and B2 are used for different rooms, and do not
need to be equal;
Figure 3.20 Plan the path from main unit to transceiver with distributor for several rooms
Note: The same rule is also applicable for two systems
installed in one room but have enough distance that they will not interference to each other.
