Structuring the SDC 8000 system

Selectable modes between or within interpreter booths

With the SDC 8000 system, you can choose between three “modes between booths” and two “modes in booth”.

Via the “modes between booths”, you fix the responsibilities of interpreters who are seated in different booths but interpret into the same target language (one on the A-channel and another on the B-channel).

Via the “modes in booths”, you fix the responsibilities of interpreters who are seated in the same booth and interpret into the same target language.

Mode between booths: “Mixed“

Interpreters who are seated in different booths but interpret into the same target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by pressing the MICRO key – even simultaneously.

When two interpreters simultaneously interpret into the same target language, the red signal light ring and the “Microphone active” LED on their consoles light up.

Mode between booths: “Override”

Interpreters who are seated in different booths but interpret into the same target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by pressing the MICRO key – however, activating an interpreter console will automatically turn off the currently active interpreter console.

In “Override” mode, an interpreter console that was just turned off can only be turned on again if the interpreter console by which it was turned off is deactivated.

Mode between booths: “Toggle Override”

Interpreters who are seated in different booths but interpret into the same target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by pressing the MICRO key – however, activating an interpreter console will automatically turn off the currently active interpreter console.

In “Toggle Override” mode, an interpreter console that was just turned off can be turned on again any time by pressing the MICRO key .
