Feature description 3
The DIS Recorder is an interface between a
digital recording application like ‘VRS Recording
System’ and a DCS 6000 Conference System or a
DDS 5900 Discussion System.
The DIS Recorder Interface is used for selecting
the information attached to each recording and
to enable automatic start/stop of the recording
triggered by opening/closing a microphone.
The connection to the DIS Recorder Interface
from the CU is established using a TCP/IP
connection.
The TCP/IP connection is an interface that
allows the DIS Recorder Interface (or other
peripheral) to receive information about which
microphones are turned on and off. Furthermore
it offers a recorder button on the CU web
interface to activate and deactivate recording.
To start receiving recorder interface data,
connect to port 1541 on the CU's Ethernet
connection.
When a connection has been established on port
1541 on the CU, a button will appear in the CU's
microphone control WEB page.
Toggling this button will send a message on the
recorder connection to either start or stop
recording. See section 14.
Whenever a microphone is turned on or off a
message will be sent on the recorder connection
containing data regarding the microphone. See
section 14
Important 3.1
Only 4 channel recording is supported.
