Bosch Dicentis supports IPC General Assembly in Bahrain

A Dicentis conference system from Bosch was selected by the organizers of the recent International Paralympic Committee (IPC) General Assembly and Conference which took place in Manama, Bahrain, at the end of September 2023. The event saw participation from more than 350 attendees from different National Paralympic Committees, International Federations, Regional Organizations and International Organizations of Sport for the Disabled.

The Dicentis system comprised 201 delegate devices, including eight multimedia devices, seven discussion devices with voting and 186 discussion devices with touchscreen. The conferencing solution for the event was provided by local Bosch partner Mohammed Fakhroo & Brothers W.L.L. The Dicentis discussion device with voting was specifically chosen for the General Meeting because of its accessible options for visually impaired participants. The orientation sheet as an optional accessory added clearly noticeable braille cells to help distinguish between the different voting buttons. Added to this, audible feedback from the device helped to facilitate voting - when a participant casts a vote, a beep sounds in their headphones to confirm the action.

To further aid communication at the event, interpreter booths ensured that delegates could select between six languages to hear proceedings clearly. Ahead of the General Assembly, the IPC also hosted two days of board-level meetings in the Bahraini capital. These meetings relied on a CCS 1000 D digital discussion system. The conference required a large amount of customization in preparing the agenda and the synoptic view showing the voting results. This was achieved using the software from Bosch IPP Partner MVI AudioVisual Global B.V.

“There were a lot of extended requirements from the customer, which included a touch display for the president of the IPC to enable and disable microphones, voting grid showing individual country/organization’s name and their selection, a separate display for the president to show the queue and active speakers, a display of results for scrutineers which once verified was passed to the president to display on the main screen and many more”, says Varun Raj Khanna, Technical Manager at Mohammed Fakhroo & Brothers W.L.L.
