Conference rooms with ceiling microphones and ceiling speakers

Steffen Höllein — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 06:54:13 +0000

Conference rooms with ceiling microphones and ceiling speakers

Highest audio quality with high-quality ceiling microphones

Optimal audio coverage is the starting point for us and the most important thing in the design. High quality ceiling installation is always preferable – if possible.

Innovative microphone arrays that can be mounted on the conference room ceiling ensure perfect high-quality audio coverage in any meeting room.

The manufacturer Shure in particular offers a high-quality yet cost-effective conference room solution with outstanding audio quality with its STEM ecosystem.

Shielding from ambient noise

With Audio Fencing, important meetings are no longer disrupted by noisy office environments and street noise. Stem Ceiling's Audio Fencing mode blocks out distracting ambient noise so participants can focus on what's important and every voice in the room is captured with optimal audio quality.

Design, test, optimize

This test setup at the customer's site determines the optimum height for the ceiling microphone. The display already installed is good for presentations while standing. If participants are shown here via video, they are higher than the colleagues on site, which is not good. A height-adjustable display can be a smart solution here.

Every room is different, and small details can change the acoustic starting position elementarily. Talk to our team about your initial situation.

Modern conference rooms communicate via network technology. Individual components – even from different manufacturers – can be combined so well. A conference room usually consists of a controller (usually touch screen controller), a network hub, speakers (ceiling, wall, table), microphones (increasingly microphone arrays, with multiple intelligently controlled microphones) and camera technology – and yes, this is now automatically and intelligently controlled.

Supervisory Board Meetings – online, hybrid, digital, classic?

Steffen Höllein — Fri, 12 May 2023 07:13:20 +0000

Supervisory Board Meetings – online, hybrid, digital, classic?

A supervisory board meeting is a meeting of the supervisory board of a company or organization at which the members of the supervisory board meet to discuss important matters relating to the management and development of the company.

Digital?

Unlike this traditional meeting where all participants gather in one physical location, a digital meeting allows participants to attend from different locations.

Some of the benefits of a digital board meeting include:

Efficiency: A digital meeting can be faster and more efficient than a physical meeting by eliminating travel and preparation time. Participants can join the meeting from their own desktops or from any location.
Cost savings: By avoiding travel costs and expenses, organizations can save significant costs.
Flexibility: A digital session gives attendees more flexibility in scheduling their appointments and work. They no longer have to interrupt all their work to attend a meeting.
Easier collaboration: Digital tools such as screen sharing and collaborative working on documents facilitate collaboration and can help make decisions faster.
Better traceability: Digital records of the meeting can be more easily created and retained, enabling better tracking of discussions and decisions.

However, there can also be disadvantages, such as limitations in terms of interaction and the difficulty of interpreting nonverbal signals. A digital board meeting also requires suitable technological infrastructure and a certain level of technology know-how on the part of the participants.

As your technology partner, we can take care of and ensure all of this.

Interpreter systems

You can choose between two basic types of interpreting equipment – according to your needs: wireless interpreting equipment such as infrared equipment and radio equipment with interpreter booth for groups from about 50 up to several thousand people or even for small delegations within a larger conference primarily with lecture character. The participants receive a small receiver with headphonesto hear their speech. Speech contributions are only made via microphones on stage or wireless microphones in the hall that can be passed around.

Discussion and interpreter systems with interpreter booths are ideal for discussion-intensive meetings, e.g. at the "round table". Here, each participant can directly at the place via a microphone station to have their say. At the same time, one or two participants can connect their headphones to the microphone unit to hear their individual translation. The prerequisite, however, is that the participants are seated at tables and that 1 – 2 participants are allocated a microphone unit for each.

The radio interpreter system

In addition to our classic infrared interpreting systems, our wireless radio interpreting systems offer an optimal alternative for providing several hundred participants with interpreted sound.

The advantages over infrared technology are obvious: faster installation, more discreet appearance, reliable transmission and flexible use.

The details in detail: The installation of a single transmitter at the sound control room eliminates the sometimes very complex installation (especially at large events) of infrared emitters throughout the room or in the trusses. This also makes the entire setup more visually appealing, as there are no infrared emitters (possibly on a stand) to obscure the view of the stage and audience. As hand-held microphones and neckband microphones are also available for this system, it can be used flexibly both in the conference room and with the same receivers for factory tours and city tours.

The infrared interpreter system

Our wireless infrared interpreting systems, along with our radio interpreting systems, offer probably the most common system solution for multilingual meetings. Here, several hundred participants can use handy infrared receivers to listen to a translation of their choice. Music transmissions in stereo up to the best hi-fi quality are also possible here with this digital system.

Up to 32 voice channels are available, depending on the manufacturer. The batteries in the receivers you see on this page ensure operation for three to four conference days before they have to go back to the charging station.

EWC: European Works Council Meetings – online, hybrid, digital, classic?

Steffen Höllein — Fri, 12 May 2023 06:32:37 +0000

EWC: European Works Council Meetings – online, hybrid, digital, classic?

Comprehensibility is the basis

European works councils have many challenges in which we provide active support: Organization of cross-border work, language, information and consultation, intercultural issues, co-determination. We assume that European Works Councils will become more and more important in the future. As specialists in multilingual and barrier-free communication, we are happy to cooperate in this development.

In our view, professional audiovisual equipment is the important basis for every successful EWC meeting:

The language barriers must not be increased by poor speech qualities. Good miking and excellent reproduction of the spoken word are essential.
Multilingualism must be promoted. Today, the use of interpreters can be well supported from the Interpreting studios take place. The works council meets in person. The interpreters travel to the nearest interpreting studio. This can save costs but maintain quality.
Translations, recordings and protocols can be automated. We recommend quality control, proofreading and adaptation by an experienced human, whom we can provide.

Digital or in person?

Time saving, sustainability, budget saving, flexibility, easier participation are the big advantages of online meetings. Connection, commitment, understanding are of course best achieved and experienced in a face-to-face meeting. Our recommendation: encourage personal exchange – both digitally and in person and meet in person whenever possible.

Love goes through the stomach

A competence we have acquired over decades: Take catering seriously, shape it, use it. This is especially true for the EWC meeting. Which countries and regions do the participants come from? What is healthy, wholesome and sustainable there. Use the connecting element consciously and actively.

Hospitality, attention and international cuisine also goes hybrid and digital. Perhaps not everywhere as easily as in our Interpreting Hub and office in Berlin Kreuzberg, with excellent cuisine from all corners of the world. Do you know our Market Hall Nine? If not, quickly find a reason to visit us in Berlin and let yourself be seduced and inspired by the international and European flair here.

Accessibility

Steffen Höllein — Mon, 01 May 2023 07:24:37 +0000

Accessibility at conferences and events – technical solutions, consulting, implementation

We help you to make events, meetings, conferences, conventions barrier-free. We offer technical solutions to enable and simplify access for people with disabilities and limitations:

Audio description

Content is described and commented live for people with a visual impairment. We offer transmission techniques and workstations for the interpreters for this purpose: Participants receive audio receivers with headphones that they can use to listen during the event. We can also integrate the audio description into video conferences.

Written interpreting / text interpreting

We provide subtitles for video conferences or on-site on displays or via projectors. Written interpreters create the subtitles live during the spoken content at events. We can also provide subtitles for participants' mobile devices.

The common symbol in Germany and Europe for "audiodescription. It is also common for hearing films and for films with audio description.

Pictogram for "audio description" used by the United States National Park Service. You will find it increasingly in e-learning offerings.

Sign language interpretation

We offer camera technology and transmission technology to record sign language interpreters live and superimpose them on displays, projections or in video conferences/online events. We can do this using picture-in-picture technology (i.e. inserting a small image at the bottom) or using separate displays.

Accessibility with artificial intelligence

We offer a comprehensive range of interpreting and translation services supported by artificial intelligence. Our solutions include speech-to-text, speech-to-speech, live subtitling and text interpreting in over 63 languages. This allows us to provide flexible and accurate communication for your events.

Induction technology for hearing aid connection

We offer induction technology that allows audio signals to be transmitted directly to participants' hearing aids. This works via so-called induction loops or induction loops. We can offer this for entire rooms, individual areas or as mobile solutions.

Interpreting Light Language

We transmit an audio channel with easy language to audio receivers. The event or conference is simultaneously translated into easy language by professional interpreters. This works both on-site and for online events or video conferences.

In addition to technical systems, there are a large number of areas where attention must be paid to accessibility: Stair-free access and elevators, width of doors and hallways, signage in easily recognizable colors and fonts, markings in Braille, signage in easy language and much more. We will be happy to advise you here. You are also welcome to take these points into account when selecting the event location and explicitly ask about the accessibility of the location before booking.

By the way, language barriers can be easily overcome with our simultaneous interpretation solutions for on-site events, online events or video conferences.

Barrier free access

By the way, language barriers can be easily overcome with our simultaneous interpretation solutions for on-site events, online events or video conferences.

The International Symbol of Accessibility (ISA), also known as the wheelchair symbol, identifies areas where access has been improved, especially for people with disabilities.

Maintenance

Steffen Höllein — Thu, 20 Apr 2023 06:11:17 +0000

Maintenance and servicing of media technology systems – Reliable, predictable, professional

The reliable and consistently stable operation of media technology systems is now a decisive factor for successful communication in companies, educational institutions, and organizations. Failures in audio and video technology, conference room technology, or AV-over-IP systems cause high costs and disrupt processes. Professional, continuous maintenance of media technology is therefore becoming increasingly important.

We offer service and maintenance packages for media technology systems, even for systems that were not installed by us. This ensures that your AV technology remains functional in the long term and increases the service life of your investments.

We offer maintenance. Independent of manufacturer. We create with you a maintenance strategy and implement maintenance measures efficiently.

Maintenance according to DIN 31051 — explained in an understandable way

The DIN 31051 standard defines four basic maintenance measures. We implement these professionally as part of our maintenance packages:

There is a standard DIN 31051, which divides maintenance into four basic measures:

Maintenance:
Regular measures to maintain technical condition and delay wear and tear. These include cleaning, functional tests, DGUV tests, firmware updates, and adjustments to your AV systems.
Inspection:
Recording and evaluating the current condition of the system. We check for wear and tear, measure signal quality, analyze networks (e.g., AV over IP), and document any anomalies.
Repair:
Restoration of the target state in the event of a fault –, including replacement of defective components such as microphones, speakers, displays, control units, or transmission technology.
Improvement:
Optimizations to increase reliability and future-proofing. Examples: Switching to energy-efficient AV technology, modernizing control systems, or integrating digital transmission solutions.

Manufacturer-independent maintenance of all media technology systems

We are completely independent of manufacturers and support:

Conference and presentation technology
Audio and video technology
Signal distribution & AV over IP
media controls
Network-based AV systems
hybrid meeting and event technology

We work with you to develop a customized maintenance strategy that minimizes downtime, makes operating costs predictable, and keeps your technology reliable in the long term.
