Nureva facilitates nautical training through simulators at the MSTC

In it MSTC The Dual HDL300 audio conferencing system has been installed Nureva, what, thanks to Microphone Mist technology, Provides full room coverage and reduces the effect of background noises.

He maritime simulator training center (MSTC) has renewed its audio system to promote communications in its educational environment using technology from Nureva.

Located in the Netherlands, he Instituto Marítimo Willem Barentsz collaborates with the MSTC to provide education and training in nautical simulation. The latter is the only maritime center where you can gain sailing time through intensive training in a simulator.

In the MSTC bridge simulation environment, Students move around the space to perform various tasks. The audio must be sent to the teacher at the instructor's station and to a closed circuit television system that records the sessions for playback to students during debriefing sessions..

Initially, The audio was handled by a series of XLR microphones which only provided live feedback to the instructor station. Later, changed to a stationary microphone connected directly to the CCTV camera system. This system did not provide adequate pickup as students moved through the space. Besides, there were problems with too much background noise (engine sounds, etc.) in the transmission.

Staff members researched various microphone systems online. They then contacted Comcross, a meeting room technology provider, for additional information. Provided MSTC with a demo of the audio conferencing system HDL300 from Nureva for medium-sized rooms.

After this they decided to install a Dual HDL300 system for large spaces. A test of the HDL200 system was also performed for its smaller bridge spaces.

Whether in a meeting room, a classroom or a nautical simulator, Nureva products use patented technology Microphone Mist to provide full room coverage so speakers can be heard no matter where they move in a space.

The technology also significantly reduces the effect of background noises through position-based gain control, as well as intelligent sound orientation, that identifies unwanted persisters (like engines) and stop catching them.
