5.1 Introduction
The CS5 VU can be configured either as a delegate station with a voting function or as a chairperson station with vot-
ing and priority functions. Like the CS5 DU, it provides a microphone connection, talk button, two built-in loudspeak-
ers, and two headphone jacks.
The loudspeakers reproduce the main mix ("floor signal") while the headphone jacks allow the user to listen to the floor
signal or one of 63 interpreted languages.
In addition, the CS 5 VU incorporates a chip card reader for user identification by conference control software. A liquid-
crystal display and five soft buttons allow the user to call the meeting to order, initiate ballots, cast their vote, select lan-
guages for the headphone outputs, etc.
