Shangri-La Dialogue Singapore 2016

Date:

• 3, 4, 5 June 2016

​

Location:

• Shangri-La Hotel, Singapore

​

Plenary Statistics:

• 411x conference microphones on the floor of the plenery

• 4x conference microphones on the head table

• 6x interpretation booths- remotely located behind the backdrop. Each booth is set with 2 interpreter desks and a monitor, so they can see the person speaking

​

Greatest Challenge:

• The 411 Conference Microphones needed to be set-up overnight between Midnight and 6am. This was an extremely difficult task and took a lot of planning to get right in such a short time.

​Technical Challenges

Multi- CCU
411 Microphones is far more than the maximum limit of 245 microphones for a single CCU, so the 2 x CCUs were set-up in Master Slave configuration.

Multi PC
There are many things happening on the system. Too much for a single PC. There the system needed to be configured in Multi-pc Mode.

• 1 x PC for the chairman to control the Queuing from the stage

• 1 x PC as the Server.

• 1 x PC for the Congress Rental Operator to support the chairman and tidying up the queue, located at the op’s area at the back of the room.

• 1 x PC showing a synoptic view of the room, located at the Ops area, but distributed to the chairman to guide him where to look in the room to find the delegate speaking and also distributed to the video director in order that his cameramen can find the delegate more easily.

• 1 x PC in the registration area to encode the smart cards

​

The delegate registration badge is also the Access Card, so 600 Cards specifically manufactured to the Bosch standard.
