be On Air. If for example, three callers are in the Pre Talk mode and one of
them is switched into the On Air mode, then the other two are automatically
put into the Hold mode.
The Next-Mode was especially implemented for game shows. This provides
the possibility of putting the callers on Hold immediately without a Pre Talk.
By pressing the (Next) button on the MAGIC TOUCH user interface
the caller who has been waiting the longest time in the system is automatically
put On Air. By pressing the operating key (Next) once again the next
caller is put On Air.
FIG. 36 NEXT MODE
What happens to the previous caller is defined by the After ON AIR state op-
tion. Selecting DROP drops the connection, PRE TALK puts the caller in the
Pre Talk mode and HOLD puts the caller in the Hold mode. To mark that a
caller is already On Air, the Pre Talk and Hold mode are highlighted
with a red font.
If the Mix caller in HOLD to PRE TALK output option is active, the signal of
the caller in the Hold mode is mixed together with the signal of the caller in
the Pre Talk and the common signal is transmitted to the Pre Talk Audio in-
terface. This function is quite useful for recognising that a caller wants to say
something but no extra Hold Audio interface was defined (see CHAPTER
7.7.3.14, page 98).
7.7.3.1.2 Alternative Audio Line Mode
So far, only the Pre Talk, perhaps the Hold and the On Air Audio interfaces
were used. Additionally all callers On Air or in the Pre Talk mode were auto-
matically mixed in the system. If it is desired to put several callers On Air or
to use several Pre Talk Audio interfaces - without mixing them- the alterna-
tive Audio Line Mode can be used. Depending on the construction of the sys-
tem up to four alternative On Air and up to six alternative Pre Talk Audio
interfaces are possible.
The release of this operating mode is done by the Enable Configuration of Alt.
Audio Lines option. Therefore, at first, there are four alternative Lines avail-
able for On Air and Pre Talk for the configuration of the Audio interfaces (see
L
Of course, at any time each caller can be put manually in the On Air mode or
into another mode. All functions are available as usual.
