Digi-Wave Dock Application Guide

Purpose of this Guide

The DigiWave Dock provides a way to connect the DigiWave wireless product to a hardwired system. Audio can be taken from a hard-

wired system and transmitted to listeners in the audience, or, transmitted audio can be received and sent into a hard wired system. The

dock uses DLT 100’s and/or DLR 60’s to send and/or receive audio. In addition to this, the dock also charges DLT 100’s and DLR 60’s.

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.

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, speakers voice, etc. is sent from a sound system or other equipment to the dock input. The dock delivers the audio to

the docked transceiver which broadcasts the audio out to receivers (or transceivers) in the audience.

The docked transceiver should be set to 2-way Chairman Master; this way when listeners enter the room, their receivers (or transceivers)

will synch to the docked unit and begin receiving audio. The dock bay switch for the docked transceiver should be set to the “Auto”

position; this keeps the transmitting unit powered up, the battery charged, and the TALK button on so it keeps transmitting as long as the

dock is powered up.

Digi-Wave Dock Application Guide

Base Station Receiver

The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to receive audio from a Digi-wave transceiver, and send this audio into a sound system. Utilized in this

way, a human speaker can be recorded, heard by the audience using receivers, or heard by the audience through loudspeakers.

How it works:

A speaker/presenter’s voice is transmitted from a DLT 100 2.0 to a docked DLR 60 2.0 receiver (or DLT 100 2.0 transceiver). The dock

sends the audio through it’s outputs into a sound system or other equipment.

The Presenter’s DLT 100 should be set to 2-way mode, Master Chairman; this way when the presenter enters the room, the docked

receiver (or transceiver) will sync with the presenter’s DLT and begin receiving the audio. Using a docked receiver is recommended for

simplicity, but if using a docked DLT, it should be set to 2-way Slave mode. The dock bay switch for the docked unit should be set to the

“Auto” position; this keeps the receiving unit powered up, battery charged, searching for a transmitter if there isn’t one, and receiving when

synced with a transmitter.

Teleconferencing

The dock provides full duplex audio capability when a DLT 100 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 DLT

100 transceivers (shown), or just listen with DLR 60 receivers (not shown). A program such as Skype or other teleconference software can

be used to make the conference call over the internet. The 2-way audio from each dock is connected to the computer in that conference

room.

How it works:

In Conference Room 1, a speaker’s voice is transmitted from a DLT 100 2.0 to a docked DLT 100 2.0. The dock sends the audio through

it’s outputs into 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 dock that has a docked DLT 100 2.0 transceiver. A listener with a DLT or DLR in

Conference Room 2 hears the audio from Conference Room 1.

In the same manner, audio is sent from Conference Room 2 to Conference Room 1, completing the 2-way communication circuit. Typically

this type of system is coupled with a video screen in each conference room, so the people in both locations can see and hear each other

(not shown).

Range Extender

The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to extend the range of an existing Digi-wave System, reaching a larger audience or even audiences in

additional rooms or areas.

How it works:

In Room 1, a speaker’s voice is transmitted from a portable DLT 100 2.0 to a docked DLT 100 2.0. The dock sends the received audio

through an XLR cable to a second dock in Room 2. Room 2 has a docked DLT 100 2.0 transceiver that broadcasts the audio to a listener

with a DLT 100 2.0. The length of the range extension is limited by the type of XLR cable used, but can be as much as 500 feet or even

much more.

In the same manner, audio can be sent from Room 2 to Room 1, if 2-way communication is desired (shown).

Digi-Wave Dock Application Guide

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

(oor). The audience hears the interpreted language (from the IC-2 console) on Ch 1.

How it works:

The main presenter/speaker’s voice (i.e. English) is transmitted from a portable DLT 100 2.0 in 1-way mode on Ch. 0, to a docked DLT 100

2.0 in Interpreter Mode on Ch. 1. The dock sends the speakers voice through an XLR cable to the Floor input on the IC-2. The interpreter

hears the speaker’s voice and interprets into Spanish. Spanish comes back from the IC-2 to the Dock on an XLR cable. The docked DLT

100 2.0 broadcasts the interpreter’s voice to the audience listening with DLR 60 2.0 Receivers on Channels 1-14 (depending on how many

interpreted languages are needed). Additional languages require daisy-chaining additional IC-2’s and additional Dock Bays, one for each

interpreted language - just the rst interpreted language/IC-2/dock is shown here. Note that this “Floor-In” method need only be connected

on the rst IC-2 when daisy-chaining a system, as the oor will be carried on the bus to each IC-2 in the chain.

Interpretation with a Relay

The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to connect IC-2 Interpreter’s consoles for interpretation with a relay.

In this example there is an English-speaking presenter followed by a French-speaking presenter. Members of the audience are on the

channel they need for the language they need to hear. When the English speaker changes to the French speaker, the audience doesn’t

need to change channels. However, the relay translator begins translating French to English when the French speaker starts talking, and

the interpreter who is translating English to Spanish now switches to listen to the relay’s voice.

How it works:

The First Presenter’s voice (English) comes in from a hard-wired microphone, to the IC-2 on the Floor input. The oor’s voice (English) is

sent to the rst Dock and transmitted on Ch. 2 (for the audience), and also travels down the IC-2 bus to the second IC-2 (for the Interpreter

translating English to French). The Spanish-English Interpreter listens to the Floor and translates English to Spanish, with Spanish

coming out on Ch. 1 of the rst IC-2, sent to the rst Dock where it is broadcast to the audience on Ch. 1. Meanwhile the French-English

Interpreter is listening to English (on the bus) from the rst IC-2 and translating English into French. French is sent to the second dock

where is is broadcast on Ch. 3, to the audience.

When the Second Presenter starts speaking in French, the Relay Interpreter switches to translating French back to English. English travels

from the second IC-2 back on the bus to the rst IC-2, and the Spanish-English Interpreter now listens to the Relay channel, and continues

to interpret English to Spanish. The Floor’s voice is now passed through the second IC-2, then transmitted on Ch. 3 using feedtrough, so

the audience still hears French on Ch. 3. English is sent from the second IC-2 to the rst IC-2 though the bus, then fed though to the rst

dock where is it broadcasted on Ch. 2 for the English members of the audience.

Relay’s Voice on Ch. 2, to the audience listening with DLT 100 2.0 Transceivers or DLR 60 2.0 Receivers.

Floor and Interpretation with 2-way Q&A -or- Two-Group Negotiation

The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to easily connect an IC-2 Interpreter’s console for the oor and interpreter - where the audience can ask

questions and hear the answers in their language. In this example the audience can ask questions and hear the answers in their language

in either English on Group 1 or Japanese, from the Interpreter, on Group 2.

This solution can also be used for two groups that need a back-and-forth dialogue in two languages.

How it works:

By using the Ch. 2 Out and Relay-In on the IC-2, the Interpreter hears Group 1 (English) while speaking to Group 2 (Japanese). If a

question is asked in Japenese, the interpreter switches to hear the question in Japanese and interprets Japanese back to English. English

travels back from the IC-2 in the opposite direction. Audience members tune in to whichever language they want, and they can ask and

hear questions in their language (English or Japanese). When anyone in either group asks a question, it is interpreted and both groups hear

the answer.

Digi-Wave Dock Application Guide

4 Simultaneous Talkers (one-way)

The Digi-Wave Dock can be used to add more speakers to an existing DigiWave wireless system. This is accomplished by using the dock

to add-in live microphones to an existing 2-way system. This is one-way communication from the speakers to the audience.

In this example let’s say you have a panel of 4 people, like in a city council meeting. The audience needs to hear all 4 council members.

Since all council members are sitting at the same table, they can hear each other speak, and do not require 2-way communication with

each other. The system example here allows the audience to hear all 4 council members.

How it works:

This example takes advantage of the dock’s ability to mix input signals. By combining inputs at the rst dock, Daryl and Valerie’s voices

(Group 2) are combined with Janet and Bob’s voices (Group 3) are then transmitted out on Group 1 for the audience.

A510

(Group 1)

Taking advantage of the dock’s ability to mix input signals, this configuration alllows 4 people to talk at the same time. By daisy-chaining inputs from one dock to the next, a

speaker’s voice is mixed in, one at a time, to the end of the chain. The return connection from the last bay’s output back to the first bay’s input completes the chain, allowing
