Position the CoCon components

CoCon radiator position

The position of the radiators is very important for a successful set up. Depending on the layout of your room, the radiators need to be set up in different places of the room. Below you can find some examples of different setups and the position of the radiators.

To see the effect of the position and angle of all radiator on the footprint of the radiators and the IR reception in the room, use the calculator tool. You can find the calculator on Sharefile in the folder TCS-Marketing > Public > Technical Documentation > Calculators.

In the first example all seats are pointing towards the stage in the same direction. In order for everyone to receive the infrared signal, you need to place two radiators in two corners of the room to cover the entire room (by reflected and direct radiation).

When the length of the cables from the transmitter to the radiators differs, then this difference should be corrected using the automatic delay line calibration.

In cases where beam width is an issue, you can position multiple radiators on a cluster. The loop through the different radiators in the cluster should be done with a short cable (1m).

For rooms where the rearrangement can change or rooms where seats are positioned concentrically, radiators should be present in every corner of the room.

In case of rooms with a balcony, an additional radiator needs to be present under the balcony to ensure the transmission of the signal to the seats under the balcony.

Figure 1-14 Radiator setup for room with a balcony. The balcony blocks all radiation therefore you should place an additional radiator below the balcony to extend the signal to the people sitting below the balcony.
