Operating the Interpreter Desk
The display below shows the interpreter’s desk in its operational mode, displaying three incoming
language channels. Channel 2ENG, channel 3FR, and Channel 4GER. For a list of language
abbreviations refer to Table 11.1, (PAGE 11-25).
The following display gives an example of the language Quality Indication function. The display
indicates that Channel 2ENG is the original floor language, while Channel 4GER (German) (+) is a
direct translation based on the original FLOOR language, whereas Channel 3FR (French) (-) is an
indirect translation based on a translation of a translation of the original FLOOR language.
11.10.5 Interpreter desk Listening
Two tone controls (bass , and treble ) and one volume control enables the adjustment of
the sound level and sound quality when using headphones or a headset when listening to the floor or
selected translations.
A built-in loudspeaker with volume control enables the interpreter to monitor the floor language only.
All interpreter desk loudspeakers within a booth are muted, when an interpreter’s microphone within
that booth is switched on.
11.10.6 Outgoing Channel Selection
To select the required outgoing language channels, the interpreter desk provides the following keys:
FIG 11-11 Outgoing Channel Selection
The interpreter desk offers three methods of distributing a translation. Using the A-output only, using
both the A-output + B-output, and using both the A-output + B-output with the Auto-relay facility.
A- Output
The A-channel is normally reserved for the interpreter’s most familiar outgoing language. Press the ‘A-
Channel select’ key to output on the A-Channel, its associated red LED illuminates.
A+B- Output
As well as using the A-output as described above, the interpreter can also select a second outgoing
language for distribution on channel B (if programmed), by using the desks ‘B-select’ up/down keys.
Pressing the
‘B-Channel select’ key, activates the Outgoing B-channel, while switching off the
Outgoing A-Channel. Their associated red LEDs act accordingly.
A+B-Output + Auto-relay facility
As well as using the outgoing A and B-channels, an additional facility is available for use where an
exotic language is unfamiliar to the majority of interpreters. In the desk programming mode the
Outgoing B channel of an interpreter desk can be assigned with the auto-relay facility. This facility
automatically replaces the incoming floor channel with the assigned auto-relay language, which is
distributed to other interpreters to base their translations. To output the auto-relay procedure, the
assigned interpreter simply presses the ‘Outgoing B’ key on his desk.
