Conference Systems by Bosch
The market for conference solutions has changed rapidly in recent years, with a trend away from standalone systems towards fully integrated solutions. In these integrated solutions, information such as audio, video, social media and meeting data is shared over standardized infrastructure and interfaces. This in turn has created higher demands on flexibility in system design and the ability for remote interaction. These trends highlight the need to maximize meeting efficiency and increase ease of integration with third parties. Bosch is committed to deliver the most innovative conference platform to fulfill current and future market needs. This is why Bosch introduced its IP-based product family: DICENTIS. DICENTIS is a revolutionary platform for the integrated conference world of tomorrow.
The system that always delivers
Highly reliable and secure
Inherent cable and power supply redundancy built into the DICENTIS Conference System, ensures no data is lost in the rare event of system failure. In addition, all audio and control data running through the system is securely encrypted by proven industry technologies, satisfying the most stringent and internationally recognized standards. This protects data against tampering and unauthorized access extremely important in highly secure or sensitive meeting situations.
Latest functionality – always
With regular software updates, the DICENTIS Conference System easily expands to incorporate newly-developed functionality – without the need for
expensive hardware replacements. This includes the licensed system and seat software but also additional system features via third-party AndroidTM apps. Bosch offers a Software maintenance agreement (SMA) to help customers maintain their system. This service keeps the entire DICENTIS Conference System operating seamlessly across the platform and servers. It includes software and compatibility plugins for the system as well as a variety of Internet based applications.
Automatic camera control
The DICENTIS system supports multiple IP camera control protocols (e.g. ONVIF), simplifying the integration of automatic camera control. ONVIF is the market’s leading, global standard for networked video, and it ensures that conference participants always see the person speaking on the hall display. In addition, DICENTIS also supports Sony and Panasonic cameras with CGI protocols.
Environmentally friendly
DICENTIS is designed to have minimal impact on the environment. For this reason, the system can be switched to stand-by mode. This patent-
feature allows the chairperson to power off all the participant devices at once, significantly reducing power consumption and saving energy between
meetings and during breaks.
Unique conference devices with industry-leading features
- High directive microphone and intelligent Acoustic Feedback Suppression ensure crystal clear speech reproduction
- Loudspeaker and microphone can be active simultaneously to provide excellent speech intelligibility
- Optimal ergonomic design
- Advanced discussion functionalities, such as the “Possible to speak” indicator, to immediately engage in the discussion when the function is available
Clear, natural sound
All DICENTIS conference devices use intelligent Acoustic Feedback Suppression which is unique to Bosch, maximizing intelligibility when higher volume levels are required. This technology helps to avoid echoes and howling, resulting in clear speech intelligibility. In addition, the microphone and loudspeaker are active at the same time, providing a natural sound. At all times, the participants and chairperson can listen to the meeting comfortably and focus on the discussion at hand.
Pluggable microphones
Three pluggable microphones can be used with any DICENTIS conference device: Long Stem, Short Stem and the High directive microphones. The High directive microphone employs high directive Bosch technology, allowing for crystal-clear reproduction of the spoken word, while the discrete design helps the speaker to convey their message in a natural way. For acoustically challenging locations, or for when people want to speak standing upright from a rostrum, the uni-directional Microphone with long or short stem is the best solution
Encouraging clarity
Design plays a key role in how people interact and it is central to creating an environment that encourages constructive dialogue. That’s why Bosch has committed substantial resources to the research and development of the physical design of the DICENTIS conference devices. The result Superior ergonomics, excellent ease of use, and a stylish yet unobtrusive appearance.
Keeping the meeting on track
The DICENTIS system is designed to optimize meeting structure and efficiency. Basic discussion settings can be defined for whichever DICENTIS conference device is being used. The meeting can be managed by an operator or chairperson, who can open or close a meeting, open voting rounds and decide which participant can speak and how many people can speak at the same time. The chairperson can also use the priority button to override all participant microphones whenever necessary
