Composition of Digital Conference System (I)

The digital conference system is a conference system that integrates computer, communication, control, multimedia, image, audio and other technologies. Digital conference system is consisted with central control subsystem, multimedia projection displaying subsystem, speech and simultaneous interpretation, which is conference system, monitoring and alarm system and network accessing subsystem. This article mainly introduces following three systems:

1. Central control subsystem

Central control equipment is the core of the whole digital conference system, which can not only realize automatic conference control, but also more complicated conference management through computer manipulation. The central control equipment mainly controls speech equipment, simultaneous interpretation, electronic voting, video tracking, digital audio and video channels and data channels.
