Significant system enhancements to DIGIMIC classic
At the start of the coming year, Brähler ICS will be adding several significant system enhancements to its digital DIGIMIC classic line
The award-winning CMic delegate unit will be enhanced by a channel selector and voting function. The system will feature 7 languages + floor channel and can still be operated as a stand-alone solution. The microphone unit has an OLED display (256 x 32 pixels) with a maximum of five keys. In addition to channel selection, the system features many voting and evaluation functions, such as classic Yes/No/Abstention or For/Against voting as well as information gathering and knowledge tests.
The system’s interpreter console is based on the successful DOLV console of the high-end CDSVAN conference system and can be hooked up to one of the four outputs of the DCen control console. Intuitive handling is facilitated by the console’s clearly laid out controls and the large backlit display, showing all activities.
All classic line DIGIMIC microphone stands can now be purchased with an aluminium faceplate on request. The microphone stand not only looks especially elegant but has a solid and robust feel to it. The perfect solution for rentals or anywhere else where a particularly high-quality look is called for on the conference table.

DIGIMIC now comes with Voice Activation!
DIGIMIC now provides automatic microphone on/off functions to be voice activated allowing hands free operation. The variable ultra fast voice detection of each microphone unit ensures that no syllable is lost.
The Voice Activation is programmable making it possible to allow for various conference settings, rooms, and speakers. In addition to voice detection (sensitivity) the hold time (time a microphone remains active without voice, after been switched on by the speaker's voice), is also adjustable. There is also an integrated voice filter helping to reduce unintentional microphone activation by extraneous “information.”
Of course, the new Voice Activation remains consistent with the original Digimic design philosophy. Simple and Versatile! Allow the customer to determine what is best for the application. Wired, wireless and/or both. DIGIMIC now goes a step further by providing Voice Activation in either and/or both versions.
Threshold can be adjusted within 16 steps, to fine-tune the threshold to conference area, room and speakers, as well as the hold time to adjust the customer's preference.
Several Voice Activation modes are available, e.g. limitation of open microphones to avoid too many micro-phones become active because of loud noises in the room.
If required the Chairperson can use his 'mute all' button to mute all microphone including his own microphone within the system. This feature can be used if a chairperson needs to talk in secret to his delegates, not using any microphone amplification e.g. he does not wanted to be heard from the far end of a video conference system. To keep the connection alive automatically white noise can be distributed to the video conferencing system.
Each microphone can be locally muted, to ensure a microphone remains off, when wanted by the delegate.
This mute function can be switched on or off.
The new VOX mode now comes with the DIGIMIC conference system as a standard feature.
Brähler ICS UK equips the Afghanistan London Conference
Brahler ICS UK was recently selected to provide all simultaneous interpretation and delegate microphone systems at the Afghanistan London Conference.
Brähler ICS was selected by the UK Government through the host broadcasters Feltech after the success of their work at the G20 London Summit in April 2009.
Brähler supplied their flagship CDSVAN digital interpretation system in the ministers meeting room and the main press briefing.
The plenary system composed of a 9 channel interpretation system for 250 delegates together with relay to 600 delegates in a separate marquee. Also supplied was a 90 unit DC10 microphone system integrated with a 5 dome camera system relaying “talking head” pictures to the interpreters and to watching delegates in other areas.
Brahler also supplied another system for 6 languages using the CDSVAN interpretation system for the post conference press briefing in adjoining temporary structures, together with 600 Infrared receivers for local and international media. In addition Brahler also provided 30 separate sound-proof booths in the press areas for use by radio broadcasters.
With less than 1 month between contract award and the event going live this event demanded the very highest level of planning and organisation by all involved. Brahler ICS UK was able to call upon both equipment and expertise from across Europe, once again demonstrating the success of the Brahler Network.
Lancaster House is a grand old venue outside Buckingham Palace however it is not built for large-scale events, due to the scale of the Afghanistan London Conference, Feltech arranged for additional press and delegate areas to be built in a secure compound outside the venue. The timescales and weather were against them but the installation was carried out on time and to plan.
With leaders from across the globe attending, the meeting demanded the highest level of service; Brahler ICS UK are pleased to report that they delivered as per the specification and received positive feedback from the highest levels.
