The Bosch DCN multimedia conference system
The DCN multimedia conference system is the latest innovation in conferencing systems from world leading manufacturer Bosch.
More than just a brand new conference system. Designed from the ground up to inform, impress and inspire the audience, while providing key benefits to other stakeholders such as investors, installers and technicians.
DCN is ideal for meeting areas such as city councils, regional councils and boardrooms. And like all Bosch products, it is backed by the world-renowned Bosch customer support and service commitment.
Inform
DCN integrates audio, video and meeting content with internet access in one single system. Emphasis has been placed on putting people and their content at the core of the system concept. This increases presentation effectiveness and enhances interaction between people.
Documents can be shared, presentations retrieved and displayed, and the Internet accessed using multimedia conference devices with high-resolution capacitive touch-screens. This makes it easier for people to convey their message, to get their story across, to explain and convince.
Moreover, the possibility to have documents available electronically for all participants can lead to major savings in printing and paper costs.
Designed to impress both participants and audience, not only with its elegant design, unobtrusive microphone and excellent ergonomics, but also with its extremely high sound quality and its unique IP based system architecture.

Innovative technologies for acoustical excellence
Innovative technologies for acoustical excellence
- Several Bosch technologies are at the heart of this acoustic excellence.
- The unobtrusive, plug-able microphone developed by Bosch uses high-directive technology allowing ultra-clear speech, without the speaker having to pay attention to the location of the microphone.
- The multimedia devices feature a built-in two-way loudspeaker system to represent the sound spectrum more accurately, resulting in outstanding intelligibility and extremely high sound quality.
- Makes use of unique, built-in, intelligent Acoustic Feedback Suppression developed by Bosch. It automatically adapts itself to the environment and maximizes speech intelligibility when higher volumes are required.
- And as each conference room is different in acoustics, the intelligent system features advanced equalization that optimizes acoustics throughout the room and even at individual seats.
The first IP-based conference system
- The first IP-based conference system built on the OMNEO media networking architecture. Developed by Bosch, OMNEO operates on standard Ethernet networks to guarantee cost-effective installation and maintenance.
- Devices can be connected in star configuration using standard CAT5e (or higher) cables and Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches. This means existing building infrastructures can be used, resulting in cost-effective installation and maintenance.
- Next to this, daisy chain configurations can be realized by using Bosch powering switches and Bosch system network cables.
- Star and daisy chain configurations can be combined, making DCN multimedia a time-saving, flexible conference system.
Dicentis Flush – Bosch adds modular product range with installation convenience to its IP-based conference portfolio
- Attractive, modular flush-mounted design allows easy system scalability with the option of cost-saving dual-seat setups with microphone sharing
- Offers installation convenience by using existing IP-infrastructure and Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), and by sharing a similar footprint as Bosch DCN devices
- Delivers best-in-class user experience – superior audio quality and large microphone button design with possible-to-speak indication
Eindhoven/Grasbrunn – Following last year’s introduction of the Dicentis Flush language selector, Bosch is pleased to extend its IP-based Dicentis Conference System with Dicentis Flush, a new range of devices for permanent installations.
The modular design of Dicentis Flush empowers the specifier/installer to tailor the system to the required meeting type. Offering installation convenience in a distinctive stylish design, Dicentis Flush is ideal for use in governmental, non-governmental or intergovernmental organizations, as well as for conference applications in commercial buildings and financial institutions. Dicentis Flush modules have a sleek form factor and black finish that complements any interior, making it suitable for both modern and historic conference locations.
Easy, cost-effective installation
Incorporates the OMNEO* media networking architecture, which enables cost-effective installations by using existing IP infrastructure and PoE. Its modular design allows future additions as needed, with functions including voting and identification. In combination with a single base device in dual-seat setup, it supports up to four delegate positions when two microphones are shared, for when social distancing restrictions are lifted. This feature further contributes to space saving and cost reduction.
All modules have a click-to-fit mechanism for easy flush-mounting into metal or wood surfaces such as tabletops or seat armrests. The fitting or removal of the units is possible from either the top or bottom of the table. Blank panels are available in wide and slim designs to cover/reserve unused space. For additional convenience, the range shares the same installation footprint as DCN Flush devices from Bosch (with the exception of the loudspeaker panel), allowing easy replacement without major rework of the conference location.
Easy integration
Can be seamlessly combined with other Dicentis tabletop devices, or with the Dicentis interpreter desk as a fully ISO-compliant interpretation solution. Once connected, it immediately adopts the Dicentis settings – no need to restart the system. The unique Dicentis server-based system architecture makes integration with third-party applications and future cloud-based services easy, and offers a remote desktop application for maintenance purposes.
Enhanced user experience
The intuitive design of the modules contributes to an improved, more natural discussion atmosphere. Participants can choose their preferred language, listen to a speech and/or address the delegates. Depending on the meeting requirements, all deployed modules combine into one functional, straightforward device. User actions (language selection menu, possible-to-speak button, etc.) only light up when the respective function is active, allowing delegates to focus on the discussion.
The Dicentis Flush range offers best-in-class audio quality and speech intelligibility. The loudspeaker module features the same high-quality speaker as the award-winning Dicentis tabletop devices, which also allows the loudspeaker and microphone to be active at the same time. In addition, the audio quality is protected by the shock-mount design of the microphone connection panel, minimizing ambient noise and tabletop vibrations. For convenience, short- and long-stem microphone options are available with screw lock connections.
The Bosch Flush range will be continuously complemented with more features and modules. The new Dicentis Flush range will be available worldwide from December 2021 onwards.
