Bosch adds digital recording and playback
to its CCS 800 Ultro Discussion System
To-the-minute recording of proceedings
MP3 recording and playback of proceedings
Recordings stored on Secure Digital (SD) cards
Built-in buffer allows on-the-fly SD card replacement during
recording
Bosch Security Systems has updated
its CCS 800 Ultro Discussion System with built-in MP3 recording
capability to enable record and playback of actual to-the-minute
meeting proceedings.
The Bosch CCS 800 Ultro has already proven itself as a discussion
system for small and middle-sized gatherings and conferences
in, for example, city council chambers, courtrooms, and local
business centers. Simple to install and straightforward to
use, the system has all the facilities required for achieving
full control of meetings and discussions, without the need
for an operator. Participants follow the proceedings on tabletop
loudspeaker units and, when necessary, can take part using
the microphone integrated in the Bosch CCS 800 Ultro tabletop
unit.
The new MP3 recording facility has been added to enable digital
recordings of sessions to be made for later playback or archiving.
Built into the system's control unit, the MP3 audio recorder
enables users to record MP3-compatible audio recordings on
individual Secure Digital (SD) Cards. The recordings can be
played back via a monitor loudspeaker integrated into the
control unit or via the Bosch CCS 800 Ultro tabletop unit.
The control unit also features an LCD screen that displays
information such as the date and time of a recording, file
name, elapsed recording time, number of recorded tracks, and
memory status. The SD card can be removed from the control
unit and processed on a PC for transcription purposes. Recordings
can also be retrieved by connecting the PC to the control
unit's USB port.
An audible beep and a flashing LED indicate when the SD card
is almost full, requiring replacement with a new card. Seamless
switchover between cards is assured by a recording buffer.
When the full card is removed, the recording is continued
to the buffer and then automatically written onto the new
card when it is inserted into the control unit.
Like the earlier version, the new Bosch CCS 800 also features
a digital acoustic feedback suppression facility. This automatically
eliminates acoustic feedback to improve speech intelligibility
by allowing the speaker volume to be turned up as loud as
required without any risk of feedback.
The control unit can control up to 150 tabletop units. This
includes the chairman unit, which features a priority button
with an attention tone to allow the chairperson to temporarily
or permanently mute all delegate unit microphones.
The system can also easily handle most external equipment,
including separate microphones and a public address system
for the audience.
