Structuring the SDC 8200 system

Mode in booths: “Mixed”

Interpreters who are seated in the same booth and interpret into the same target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by press- ing the MIC key – even simultaneously.

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

Mode in booths: “Toggle Override”

Interpreters who are seated in the same booth and interpret into the same target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by press- ing the MIC key – however, activating an interpreter console will auto- matically 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 MIC key .

The “auto-floor” function

If the original floor language is not a language of which all interpreters have a complete understanding and from which they work, you can enable the auto-relay interpretation function (auto-floor): The original floor lan- guage is interpreted into a language understood by all interpreters. This interpretation is automatically “relayed” to the floor channel of all other interpreters and serves as the basis from which they interpret into their respective target languages.

Example:

The active languages at a conference are English, German and French (active languages are the languages into which interpretation is pro- vided).

However, some of the delegates speak Russian, a language of which only one interpreter has a complete understanding. This interpreter interprets the contributions of the Russian delegates into English, which the other interpreters then interpret into their respective target languages. The English interpretation is also fed to the English inter- pretation channel.
