User Manual DIS Digital Recorder Interface.docx 6

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.
