Bosch Security Systems has improved its DCN conference system (DCN Next Generation and DCN Inalámbrico) with automatic control of Full HD cameras. The new HD solution includes a conference dome camera designed for this application with HD-SDI output (Serial-Digital-Interface), resulting in crystal-clear, high-quality images. Small, compact and fanless for cooling, The camera is quieter and more discreet than standard cameras for these conferencing applications. Besides, software developed by Bosch fully integrates the HD camera into the DCN conference system.

Available solution

The rapid adoption of HD quality as a standard, Enables room managers to introduce automatic HD camera control into their conference systems. The digital signals from the HD output have more applications than the previous analog signals, enabling the speaker's image to the room screens, or distributing these signals to other rooms without loss of quality.

Until now, Integrating HD cameras with conference systems required special software, which was usually developed by the integrator for each client/facility and allowed a third-party HD camera to communicate with the system. The new solution introduced by Bosch frees integrators from the effort and expense of developing special software and purchasing HD cameras from third parties. This solution provides highly competitive, out-of-the-box equipment that meets your customers' HD conferencing needs..

Automatic camera control gives a visual dimension to the meeting that not only helps keep attention on the topic under discussion but at the same time shows the image of who is speaking.. A PTZ camera automatically focuses on the speaker and displays his or her image plus name on monitor and projector screens, For example, in the main meeting room, lobby, interpreter booths or group rooms. The camera is automatically activated when the microphone button on the delegate unit of the conference system is pressed.
