Connecting other external audio sources
The transmitter has audio inputs to interface with external asymmetrical audio sources.
The audio signals (stereo or mono) are connected to the audio input cinch connectors. When the cinch audio inputs are used in combination with inputs via one of the interface modules, the signals on corresponding channels are mixed.

Carrier (to IR Radiator)
The Integrus system uses high frequency carrier signals (typically 2-8 MHz) to prevent interference problems with modern light sources. The transmission system converts analogue audio signals to digital frequency modulated infra-red light. The digital audio processing guarantees a constant high audio quality. Receivers pick up the digital frequency modulated infra-red signal and convert it back to an audio signal for a headphone.

Slide 84
Radiation requirements
All delegates have to receive the distributed signals without disturbance. An Integrus receiver needs a minimum of 4 mW/m2 to work without errors. (resulting in a 80 dB S/N ratio for the audio channels). Use enough radiators, placed at well planned positions, so that uniform IR-radiation covers whole area.

7.2.2003
I&O Manual
Slide 86
The Sensitivity of the Receiver
The sensitivity of a receiver is at its best when it is aimed directly towards a radiator. The axis of maximum sensitivity is tilted upwards at an angle of 45 degrees (see figure 1.5). Rotating the receiver will decrease the sensitivity. For rotations of less than +/- 45 degrees this effect is not large, but for larger rotations the sensitivity will decrease rapidly.

The Integrus system is immune for the effect of ambient lighting. Fluorescent lamps (with or without electronic ballast or dimming facility), such as TL lamps or energy saving lamps give no problems.

Objects, surfaces and reflections
The presence of objects in a conference venue can influence the distribution of infra-red light. The texture and colour of the objects, walls and ceilings also plays an important role. Infra-red radiation is reflected from almost all surfaces. As is the case with visible light, smooth, bright or shiny surfaces reflect well. Dark or rough surfaces absorb large proportions of the infra-red signal.

Overlapping Footprints and Multipath Effect
When the footprints of two radiators partly overlap, the total coverage area can be larger than the sum of the two separate footprints.
7.2.2003
Slide 98
Overlapping Footprints and Multipath Effect
However, differences in the delays of the signals picked up by the receiver from two or more radiators can result in that the signals cancel each other out (multi path effect).
In worst-case situations this can lead to a loss of reception at such positions (black spots).

General Guidelines

Surface the area that has to be covered with infra-red signals. Use the correct footprints, therefore the following information must be known: the ambient lighting conditions the number of carriers that will be used the type of radiators to be used the mounting place, height and angle of the radiators the receiver position in relation to the radiators Extra radiators may be needed when: participants must also be able to receive infra-red signals when 'walking around. delegates seated on a podium listeners on the Balconies

Signal delay calculation
Setting the radiator delay compensation switches
Differences in cable length between the transmitter and the radiators can cause black spots as a result of the multipath effect.
The IR signal from a radiator with a long cable is delayed with respect to the signal from a radiator with a shorter cable. To compensate these cable length differences, the delay of a radiator can be increased to make it equal to the signal delay of the other radiators. This signal delay can be set with delay switches at the back of the radiator.
7.2.2003
Slide 125
Radiation Signal Delay
A situation in which a radiation signal delay occurs.
For systems with more than four carriers, add one delay switch position per 10 meter difference in signal path length to the radiators which are closest to the overlapping coverage area.
In this Figure the signal path length difference is 12 meter. Add one delay switch position to the calculated switch position(s) for the radiator(s) under the balcony.

Signal delay calculation 1.1
To determine the delay switch position based on cable lengths and calculating manually follow the next steps: 1. Measure the lengths of the cables between the transmitter and each radiator. 2. Multiply these cable length differences with the cable signal delay per meter (the manufacturer specified factor). This is the cable signal delay difference for that radiator. 3. Determine the maximum signal delay.
4. Calculate for each radiator the signal delay difference with the maximum signal delay.
5. Divide the signal delay difference by 33. The rounded off figure is the signal delay switch position for that radiator. 6. Set the delay switches to the calculated switch positions.

To determine the delay switch position by delay measuring tool and calculating manually follow the next steps: 1. Disconnect the cable from a radiator output of the transmitter and connect this to a delay measurement tool.
2. Disconnect the cable from the first radiator in that trunk.

3. Measure the impulse response time (in ns) of the cable(s) between that transmitter and the radiator. 4. Reconnect the cable to the radiator and repeat steps 2 to 4 for the other radiators (started by the next radiator in that trunk). 5. Reconnect the cable to the transmitter and repeat step 2 to 5 for the other radiator outputs of the transmitter. 6. Divide the impulse response times for each radiator by two. These are the cable signal delays for each radiator.

Signal delay calculation with more transmitters
When radiators in one multi purpose room are connected to two transmitters, an extra signal delay is added by:
Transmission from master transmitter to slave transmitter (cable signal delay).
Transmission through the slave transmitter.

Calculation tool
Slide 136
For calculating the delay switch positions for a system with a masterslave configuration, use the following procedure: 1.Calculate the cable signal delay for each radiator, using the procedures for a system with one transmitter.
2.Calculate the signal delay of the cable between the master and the slave transmitter in the same way as for cables between a transmitter and a radiator.
3.Add to the cable signal delay of the cable between the master and the slave, the delay of the slave transmitter itself: 33 ns. This gives the master-to-slave signal delay. 4.Add the master-to-slave signal delay to each radiator connected to the slave transmitter.
5.Determine the maximum signal delay.

Testing the reception quality
An extensive reception quality test must be done to make sure that the whole area is covered with IR radiation of adequate strength. Such a test can be done during installation and during the meeting: Test during installation: 1. Check that all radiators are connected and powered up and that no loose cables are connected to a radiator. Switch the transmitter off and on. (needed for the auto signal equalisation) 2. Set the transmitter in the Test-mode. For each channel a different frequency test tone will be transmitted. 3. Set a receiver on the highest available channel and listen via the headphones to the transmitted test tone. 4. For testing all positions follow the instruction of chapter 1.6 of the Integrus Installation and Operating Instructions

Testing the reception quality
Testing during the meeting:
1.Set a receiver in the Test-mode and select the highest available carrier. The quality of the received carrier signal is indicated on the display of the receiver. The quality indication should be between 00 and 39 (good reception).
2.For testing all positions follow the instruction of chapter 1.6 of the Integrus Installation and Operating Instructions

What about compatibility with IR Analog ?
IR analog and Integrus system can be used simultaneously: Each with its own transmitter, radiators and receivers The analog radiators can be used in Integrus, but with limitations: Maximum 4 radiators, with equal cable length. Not more than 4 carriers (equals 16 channels max). Not more than 100 m cable per outlet. DCN Interface Module can be used with Integrus: LBB 3423/00 version 01.04: no automatic max channel synchronisation LBB 3423/00 version 01.05: front panel has to be removed, fully compatible LBB 3423/20: fully compatible Symmetrical Audio Input and Interpreters Module can be used with Integrus: LBB 3422/10: Resistor has to be removed, then fully compatible LBB 3423/20: fully compatible
