rather than the floor language can receive it using the incoming channel selectors on their interpreter units. If the automatic relay facility is used, then the transfer interpretation is automatically fed to interpreters headphones instead of the difficult-to understand floor language. This automatic facility eliminates both the delay caused by manually switching over and the possibility of the interpreter selecting the incorrect channel.

The example on the following page demonstrates how ‘auto relay’ works:

active. In override mode, any microphone making a request to speak will automatically override the current active microphone and become active. If none is chosen all microphones are merged. These settings can be specified within a booth (i.e. between desks) or between booths.

Figure 2 An example of ‘auto relay’

The floor language - Japanese - is one that not all European interpreters can understand. Therefore the Japanese interpreter is assigned to interpret this into a language, which will be understood by the other interpreters - in this case, French. The input to the other interpreters desks will not come from the floor, but from the desk of the transfer interpreter. Thus the other interpreters hear French and not Japanese through their headphones.

This is accomplished as follows: the transfer interpreter selects the B output on his/her interpreter desk. All desks in the Japanese booth have been preprogrammed for Auto Relay (for details of how to do this, refer to paragraph 3.3.1), and for French on channel 2 (explained in paragraph 3.3). The transfer interpretation replaces the floor language as the input to all interpreters desks in other booths where the floor language is selected as the incoming audio signal. The French interpreter at desk 2 has no translating to do, as the transfer interpretation is transmitted on the French channel by the Japanese interpreter using the B output (channel 2 - French) on his desk.

1.2.4 Microphone settings

There are three microphone settings possible; interlock, override, or none (neither of the two). In interlock mode, the active microphone must first be turned off before any other microphones can become
