Interpretation Equipment – Console, Radiators, Transmitters

Interpretation Equipment

Interpreter Consoles

Apart from interpretation booths, microphones, speakers, and headsets, our basic infrastructure includes components like interpreter consoles, transmitters, radiators, the entire cabling, and security elements. We ensure that the system can provide you with the best simultaneous interpreter, equipment, and technicians to micromanage every single aspect of your event.

Make use of our stock of Beacons. We carry different brands and sizes (e.g., portable, secured stationary). Maintain coring the required audio setup for the venue.

Interpretation Equipment Infrastructure

Beyond the basic technology of microphones, speakers, headsets or interpretation booth we provide all other infrastructure including transmitters and radiators, the cabling as well as security components.Interpretation Equipment Infrastructure: How transmitters and radiators workThe transmitters use different frequencies and many channels in each frequency range, ensuring clear voice signals in many languages. Our transmitters are also integrated into our central management application software to remotely fine-tune any required changes.

The stationery transmitter connects to the central audio system. The high-quality audio signals are broadcast to wireless speakers, wireless receivers, and stationery receivers. As a result, everyone in the audience can hear the translation clearly in the specific language channel load. With the usage of radiators, the signal of transmitters is extended into larger venues. The radiators are fixed in different locations based on thoroughly measuring the event venue’s particularities. We also provide a comprehensive range of receivers that help the audience to listen to the audio stream. Our stationery transmitters fulfill the need to transfer the audio signals from one point to another.

Interpreter Consoles

Different Interpreter Consoles are available in different locations to integrate well with transmitter, receivers, and the auxiliary audio system. Some of the basic models are listed below.

Compact Transmitter MSI8D

The Compact Transmitter MSI8D is used within the INFRACOM conference system to transmit 8 audio channels by infrared light. The audio signals are converted into frequency-modulated infrared light and then transmitted with IRad radiators, which are directly connected to the MSI8D. The original (OR) and up to 7 additional languages can simultaneously be transmitted on different carrier frequencies by narrow-band frequency modulation.
The transmitted signals are received by the IRX32 receiver and can then be monitored with headphones. The frequency band can be chosen with miniature switches on the front panel, and the channels can be switched ON or OFF. With a rotating switch, assigning up to 32 transmission channels is possible. 3 infrared transmitter diodes allow monitoring for the technician without radiators. Eight green LEDs (INT) indicate the status of the interpreter channel. LEDs on the front panel indicate the operation mode: channel ON (red) and audio signal available (green).

OR-IN (1 x XLR-socket) for the input of the original language (OR)
OR-OUT (1 x XLR-plug) for balanced output of the original language, adjustable (-14 – +6)dBV/ 600Ohm

Interpretation System Radiators

The radiator IRad belongs to the latest generation of infrared power radiators of the INFRACOM wireless audio distribution system. With a corresponding IR transmitter, up to 32 channels in FM quality can be transmitted simultaneously to the radiator IRad and emitted in a frequency range within band II and band IV according to the IR transmission standards of the conference technology (IEC61603-3 and IEC61603-7).
The metal swivel bracket can be mounted on a wall, ceiling mounting bracket, or tripod. The mounting thread is of 3/8″. The high-power radiator requires no cooling fan; heat exchange is secured by natural convective cooling and heat sink of metal on the rear, thus guaranteeing totally silent continuous operation.
Operation modes: The IR-power output is split between half and full. The corresponding switch on the rear side selects the operation mode.
Protection circuit: In addition to the ESD protection, the radiator is equipped with a temperature control. This control decreases the radiator’s output power or switches completely off if the temperature is too high. This mode is indicated by different-coloured LED lights at the front.

Carrier frequency range: 40-4000 kHz (band II and band IV)
Number of transmitter diodes: 336
Average radial angle of the IR diodes: 30°
Average IR transmission power: 20W
Switch for 50% / 100% IR power output
Switch for line termination
Highly linear input and output signal quality
Mains power connector on the rear of the radiator (recessed IEC panel plug) with ESD-protection
The IEC mains socket connector placed next to the mains power connector can be used for connecting the next radiator in line
RF-input with one BNC-connectors (50 Ohms). The second parallel electric BNC socket is used to loop through the signal Accessories (in delivery)
4.0 meter mains connection cable
3.5 meter BNC – cable
Status Indication: A LED (multicolor) displays the current mode of operation: OFF (Standby), Blue permanent: ON (full IR power out), Yellow permanent: ON (half IR power out), Red flashing: failure, e.g. excess temperature, one or more diode-lines are defective, other malfunction

Conference Moderation Software

Our moderation software can be used for almost any application that requires sharp filtering of priorities, sequences, vulgarity or personal information. Moderators also focus on the complicated situations that require human interference. The moderation feature allows users to submit their content changes for approval or rejection before they are published or put online. You can go for one or several content moderators designated to enable the moderation of all microphones via a central software solution.

Simultaneous Interpretation Infrastructure

Apart from the interpretation booth, microphones, speakers, and headset, our basic infrastructure includes components like transmitters and radiators, the entire cabling, and security elements. We ensure that the system can provide you with the best simultaneous interpreter, equipment, and technicians to micromanage every aspect of your event.
