1.5 Application software
A comprehensive range of software modules is available
for use with PC-controlled DCN systems. These modules
run in Microsoft Windows, and integrate conference
preparation, management and control into this versatile
graphical computer environment. Any combination of
modules can be loaded according to specific system
requirements. This software is generally used in larger
scale systems where operator control is required.
The PC running the software is connected to the DCN
system and therefore has direct links with contribution,
interpretation and control equipment via the network
cabling. Thus all aspects of conference management can
be brought to a single point of control, which leads to
ease of use, efficiency and data distribution.
Running DCN software under Windows
Windows permits more than one application to be run
at a time and information transfer between applications
is possible. As many DCN software modules interact
with each other and rely on shared data, the multi-
tasking aspect of Windows is an important feature.
The Windows graphical user interface is also highly
visual, and the DCN software also makes full use of this
capability to control conferences. DCN elements such

as contribution units are represented by icons, and
these can be arranged and controlled easily using a
mouse. Information such as channel/language assign-
ment and voting results is shown using clear graphical
displays rather than just lines of text.

every imaginable conference requirement. The range
includes:
• Microphone Management
• Synoptic Microphone Control
• System Installation
• Parliamentary Voting
• Multi Voting
• Delegate Database
• Simultaneous Interpretation
• Text/Status Display
• Attendance Registration
• ID-Card Encoding
• Message Distribution
• Intercom

There is also a Multi-CCU control software package,
which runs under OS/2 and allows control of systems
using more than one CCU.
