1.1 ABOUT SYNOPTIC MICROPHONE CONTROL
What is Synoptic Microphone Control?
The Synoptic Microphone Control software program is one of a family of
modules designed for controlling and monitoring conferences and discus-
sions using the DCN contribution equipment. It is used for configuring
and controlling microphones connected to the system, and uses icons to
produce a graphical representation of a conference seating plan. The result
is a highly visual ‘push-button’ conference control program. Synoptic
Microphone Control has two modes:
• Layout mode
• Control mode
Layout mode - is used to create a synoptic view which contains an arrange-
ment of icons corresponding to the positions of actual microphones in the
conference venue. Each type of contribution equipment (delegate unit,
chairman unit, etc.) has its own icon. Synoptic layouts can be created and
modified in layout mode.
• Refer to chapter 3, ‘Preparing for a Conference’.
Control mode - is used to monitor and control a conference. In control
mode, the colour of a particular icon depends on the state (request-to-speak,
active, etc.) of the actual microphone it represents. Synoptic layouts gener-
ated in layout mode are used in control mode.
• Refer to chapter 4, ‘Controlling a Conference’.
