MICROPHONE MANAGEMENT

11.3 CONTROLLING MICROPHONES

Conference procedures

To successfully set-up, conduct and organise a conference it is necessary to provide microphone management procedures which facilitate many differ- ent types of conference or discussion.

The system operator (or conference chairman) requires a choice of operat- ing modes for controlling delegates waiting to speak, and the number of delegates who can speak at the same time. In addition, an automatic mode of operation, that does not need operator (or chairman) involvement, is essential.

Microphone operation modes

Allowing conference delegates to activate their microphones whenever they desired would almost certainly lead to confusion. However, in some smaller discussion groups, it is acceptable to allow a certain amount of freedom.

Microphone operation modes must allow for all circumstances.

NOTE: In this manual, reference is made to the request list, response list and speakers list. However, it is not possible to view these lists on-screen using Synoptic Microphone Control. For more details, refer to the Microphone Management user manual.

To manage and control the way delegates and/or the system operator activate microphones, five microphone operation modes are possible:

•Microphone control by operator with request list

•Microphone control by operator with request and response list

•Microphone control by delegate with request list

•Microphone control by delegate with override

•Microphone control by delegate with voice activation

NOTE: All modes are selected using the ‘System Mic. Mode...’ command in the ‘Settings’ menu. For more information refer to chapter 3, ‘Preparing

for a Conference’.

Microphone control by operator with request list - is useful in structured meetings where participants join a ‘request-to-speak’ list by activating a key on their delegate unit. They can only be promoted to active status (speaker) via the operator.
