3 Purpose of this Guide The Digi-Wave Dock provides a way to: (a) connect Digi-Wave wireless product to a hard-wired system, (b) hard-wire wireless product together, and (c) charge Digi-Wave s and/or DLRs This guide is designed to present various ways the Digi-Wave Dock can be utilized. The dock is a versatile piece of equipment, and the following examples are by no means exhaustive. These examples are provided as a starting point for more creative or complex uses. in this guide refers to 300 or DLR in this guide refers to DLR 60, DLR or DLR 360. Note: The 100 and DLR 50 units do not have active audio pins to send or receive audio through the 30-pin connector on the Dock. So these units cannot be used in any of the scenarios described in this guide. The 100 can be charged in the dock (only). Cannot be used in any scenarios this guide: 100 DLR 50 Can be used in applicable scenarios in this guide: DLR 360 DLR DLR 60 3

4 Base Station Transmitter The Digi-Wave Dock can be used as a method of transmitting audio from a sound system to the audience listening with transceivers or receivers. How it works: An audio program, presenter s voice, etc. is sent from a sound system or other equipment to the dock line input. The dock delivers the audio to the docked transceiver which broadcasts the audio out to receivers (or transceivers) in the audience. Required Equipment: One Digi-Wave Dock, one 300 Transceiver 4

6 Base Station Receiver The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to receive audio from a, and send this audio into a sound system. Utilized in this way, a presenter can be recorded, heard by the audience using receivers, or heard by the audience through loudspeakers. How it works: A presenter s voice is transmitted from a 300 transceiver to a docked DLR 360 receiver. The dock sends the audio through it s line outputs into a sound system or other equipment. Required Equipment: One Digi-Wave Dock, one DLR 360 Receiver 6

The presenter s should be set to 1-way mode-main Speaker/Master; this way when the presenter enters the room, the docked receiver (or transceiver) will sync with the presenter s and begin receiving the audio, automatically. Using a docked receiver is recommended for simplicity, but if using a docked, it should be set to 2-way Slave mode. This will not work if the docked is in one-way mode.

8 VOLUME POWER VOLUME POWER Digi-Wave Dock Application Guide Teleconferencing The dock provides full duplex audio capability when a Transceiver is docked. Utilized in this way, two-way communication can be established between two conference rooms, with audio sent/received over the internet. People on both sides can speak/listen with transceivers, or just listen with DLR receivers. A program such as Skype or other teleconference software can be used to make the conference call over the internet. The two-way audio from each dock is connected to the computer in that conference room, and the audio from the dock is routed into a sound system in that room. Additional s can be added for hearing assistance, asking and answering questions, or for presentations where a person will be standing or walking. How it works: In Conference Room 1, people s voices are picked up using the internal microphone* on a portable on the conference room table. This audio is transmitted to a docked. The dock sends the audio through it s outputs to a computer. The computer sends the audio through the internet where it is received by a computer in Conference Room 2. The computer in Conference Room 2 sends its audio to a sound system for people in Conference Room 2 to hear. Additional s can be used for hearing assistance or Q&A. In the same manner, audio is sent from Conference Room 2 to Conference Room 1. Typically this type of system is coupled with a video screen in each conference room, so the people in both locations can see each other. *a conference microphone could also be used for improved pickup of multiple voices (not shown) Required Equipment: Two Digi-Wave Docks, four s, four 3.5mm to RCA cables, conference microphone if desired Conference Room 2 COMPUTER Conference Room 1 POWER HEADPHONE POWER AMPLIFIER COMPUTER POWER HEADPHONE POWER AMPLIFIER 8

10 Range Extender The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to extend the range of an existing Digi-wave System - for reaching a larger audience, reaching audiences in additional rooms or areas, or for establising two-way communication that is outside the normal range of wireless operation (shown). How it works: In Building A, a talker s voice is transmitted from a handheld to a docked. The dock sends the received audio through it s output, through the first XLR cable, to the input of a second dock in Building B. The second dock has a transceiver that broadcasts the audio to a person listening with a handheld. When the person in Building B speaks, audio travels from the handheld, to the docked, and back along a second XLR cable to Building A where it enters the first dock s input, completing a two-way communication path. The length of the range extension is limited by the type of XLR cables used, but can be as much as 500 feet or even much more. Required Equipment: Two Digi-Wave docks, two long XLR cables, and 4 Transceivers Handheld Docked Building B Building A (2) XLR cables Distance = 500 ft or more Docked Handheld 10

12 Interpretation with Wireless Presenter The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to easily connect an IC-2 Interpreter s console and provide a wireless transceiver for the main presenter (floor). The audience hears the interpreted language (from the IC-2 console) on Channel 1, or the original presenter on Channel 0. How it works: The main presenter s voice (i.e. English) is transmitted from a portable in 1-way mode on Ch. 0, to a docked in Interpreter Mode on Ch. 1. The dock sends the presenter s voice through an XLR cable to the Floor input on the IC-2. The interpreter hears the presenter s voice and interprets into Spanish. Spanish comes back from the IC-2 to the Dock on an XLR cable. The docked broadcasts the interpreter s voice to the audience listening with DLR receivers on Channel 1. Additional languages (Channels 2-14) require daisy-chaining additional IC-2 s and additional Dock Bays, one for each interpreted language. In this example just the first interpreted language/ic-2/dock is shown. Note that this Floor-In method need only be connected on the first IC-2 when daisy-chaining a system, as the floor will be carried on the bus to each IC-2 in the chain. Required Equipment: One Digi-Wave dock, one IC-2 Interpreters Console, 2 Transceivers, 2 XLR cables, audience DLRs as required. 12

14 Two-Way, Two-Language Question and Answer This solution can be used for two groups who speak different languages and need a back-and-forth dialogue. A single interpreter alternates between languages, first interpreting English to Spanish, then interpreting Spanish to English, and so on. The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to easily connect an IC-2 Interpreter s console for this setup. In this example the audience can ask questions and hear the answers in their language ( English on Group 1, or Spanish on Group 2). How it works: By using the Ch. 2 Out and Relay-In on the IC-2, the Interpreter hears Group 1 (English) while interpreting to Group 2 (Spanish). If a question is asked in Spanish, the interpreter switches to Relay-In/Ch 2 Out OFF mode to hear the question in Spanish and interprets Spanish back to English. English travels back from the IC-2 in the opposite direction. Audience members choose the Group for whichever language they want (Group 1 for English, or Group 2 for Spanish). The Audience stays in their Group (they don t need to change Groups), and they can ask questions, make statements, and hear questions and answers/ statements in their language. When anyone in either group asks a question, the audience members hear it in their language, and they also hear the answer in their language.

17 Five Simultaneous Talkers with a 2.0 System The 2.0 series Digi-Wave System is limited to two simultaneous talkers within the wireless system. Now the Digi-Wave Dock can be used to add three additional speakers for a total of five. This scenario is set up as one-way communication from the presenters to the audience. In this example, a city council meeting has five council members that need to speak at any given time. The audience needs to hear all five council members. Since all council members are sitting at the same table, they can hear each other speak, and do not require two-way communication with each other. The system example here allows the audience to hear all five council members. Note that many other configurations are possible to allow a free-floating transceiver for audience questions/comments - and in that case this would have to be set up as a two-way communication system, with transceivers in the dock. A wireless microphone system could be mixed into the dock if a wireless microphone system is available. How it works: This example takes advantage of the dock s ability to mix input signals. By combining inputs at the first dock, the voices of Council Members 2 & 3 (Group 2) are combined with the voices of Council Members 4 & 5 (Group 3), then combined with the voice of Council Member 5 (Group 1). The combined audio from all groups is transmitted out to the audience on Group 1. Required Equipment: Two Digi-Wave docks, six s (1 docked, 5 for talkers), two DLRs (both docked), one stereo RCA cable, one XLR cable, audience s/ DLRs as required. Group 3 Group 1 Group Council Members Group 1 Group 1 Group 1 Group 1 (All five voices) 17

20 Extending a 2.0 Series system with 300 Series Product The 2.0 series systems are not directly compatible with the newer 300 Series systems. However, by using the Digi-Wave Dock, these systems can now be used together. The dock can also be used to extend the range of a 2.0 system by adding 300 Series product. How it works: A is inserted into one bay, and a 300 is inserted in the second bay. The bays are tied together with standard XLR cables, routing the outputs of each bay to the inputs of the other bay. By doing this, two-way communication is established. The s are set to 2-way mode. Audio level adjustments will need to be made to balance voices. Required Equipment: One Digi-Wave dock, one , one 300, two XLR cables, and talker s per system as required (in this example, three 300 s and two s). 2.0 Series System 300 Series System 20
