DC 6990P Touchscreen Conferencing™ The council chamber for the European Committee at the Danish Parliament "Folketinget" is fitted with the latest in discussion technology, cameras and web-streaming. However, the integrator Informationsteknik Scandinavia were restricted in what they could do to modify the rooms décor. Therefore the room and the table were remained almost unchanged. The committee room is dominated by a large oval table with 32 seats around it. Each seat is equipped with a conference delegate unit - a DC 6990P with the chip card reader. The unit is also equipped with a touch screen, which can be used for messaging, voting, viewing voting results or reading documents.
The Danish parliament has their own broadcast facility on the site and a dedicated streaming suite. The idea is to feed this with audio, video and data from the discussion in the meeting room. A podium in the middle of the room holds four cameras. These provide face-shots for web-casts or broadcasts and are interfaced with the DIS microphone system to automatically track to the face of the person speaking. A fifth camera is used to provide an overall shot of the room.
In order to get the cameras to communicate with the DIS conference system and respond to its control commands an AMX Netlinx unit is installed. Running parallel to the AV-signals is the meta-data from the DIS conference system. The web streaming server can request almost any piece of information such as name of the speaker, the agenda, the speaking time etc.
