Installation manual

Headset Stations are wired to both channels A and B and are used by the video and graphics people.

This allows them the flexibility of communicating on either Channel A or Channel B.

Program feed audio is connected to the Remote Station so it can be heard by the Director as well as

the Talent and Announcers. A Call signal can interrupt the program audio that feeds into the Remote

Station. Talent and Announcers use Talent Receivers which are connected to Channel B. The Director

and Assistant Director must be able to interrupt this program audio to cue the Talent and Announcers,

so Channel B would be programmed as follows:

The Momentary Talk B option switch on the Main and Remote Stations must be set to the ON

(down) position. This will cause the Channel B Talk button to have a momentary only action and not

latch. Refer to the appropriate User Manuals for the location of these settings.

The Call on Talk B option switch on the Main and Remote Stations must be set to the ON (down)

position. This will cause the Channel B Talk button to activate the Call signal.

The Channel B On-Off-Interrupt switch on the Remote Station must be set to the INTERRUPT posi-

tion. The Channel A On-Off-Interrupt switch must be set to the OFF position, assuming that pro-

gram audio should

not

be heard on this channel.

The Channel B Program Level trimpot on the Remote Station should be adjusted so that the pro-

gram feed is at a comfortable level for the Talent and Announcer.

If desired, the Director could turn on the Party Line Link (A+B) switch on the Main Station during re-

hearsals to combine the communication between everyone on both channels.

The Main or Remote Station speaker can be turned on whenever necessary, when others in the area

need to hear. If it is turned on, it will automatically dip in level whenever the panel or headset micro-

phone is on.

A PA amplifier can be connected to the Announce Output of the Main Station, allowing the Director to

make announcements to everyone in the studio. The Relay Out connection can be used to switch the

PA amplifier if necessary. Depending upon the situation, these announcements may tend to interfere

with communication on the intercom line. If this is a problem, set the Interrupt Announce Option Switch

on the Main Station to the ON position. This will prevent announcements from being heard on the in-

tercom line.

Although this application was illustrated using 2-channel Main and Remote Stations, it could have been

implemented using 4-channel (or more) stations. Doing so could further split the functional areas and

allow more individual conversations to occur at once.
