Structuring the SDC 8000 system

The signals of up to three interpretation channels are available at the outputs AUX OUT 3-4-5 of the 9-pole sub-D socket.

Additional interpretation channels can be output via the XLR-3M audio outputs of an SDC 8000 AO analog output unit connected to the central unit.

Transmitting the floor channel or an interpretation channel via a PA system

Via the central unit’s XLR-3M audio output or via an audio output of the SDC 8000 AO analog output unit, you can connect a PA system via which the floor channel or an interpretation channel can be transmitted to e.g. the foyer or another room.

For information on how to select the channel to be output via an audio output, see “Assigning a channel to an audio output” on page 95.

Transmitting the floor channel and the interpretation channels via an infrared transmission link

You can connect the control of an infrared transmitter to the central unit, allowing guests or participants who don’t have their own conference console to follow the conference via infrared headphones. These guests or participants can choose between the floor channel and the interpretation channels.
