PC, there will be no warning message, but the
application will not start until leaving installation
mode, when it will start automatically. However, it is
always possible to start applications when not in
installation mode.
i Note
If seats have to be assigned to delegate units
during a conference, this can be done from the
server PC using System Installation or limited
installation (i.e. assigning free seat numbers to
units.)
Microphone Management
This module can run in master mode and in slave
mode.
i Note
In Microphone Management, slave functionality
is not restricted to monitoring. You also have
microphone control, such as switching a
microphone on or off.
When Microphone Management is running in slave
mode, the following restrictions apply:
• Only the ‘Exit’ and ‘Print Activity’ options can be
selected from the ‘File’ menu. Creating, opening,
saving and deleting files is not possible.
• Only ‘Mic Activity’ can be selected from the
‘Settings’ menu. Setting the system microphone
mode, attention tone, ambient microphone
control, microphones off after shift and testing
the microphones is not possible.
• The ‘Speech Time’ menu is not available. This
means that setting a speech time limit is not
possible.
i Note
In either master or slave mode, request lists,
notebooks and the speakers’ list can only be
changed by one Microphone Management
application at a time.
i Note
Altering the system microphone mode or
testing microphones is not possible if this is
simultaneously being done by a Synoptic
Microphone module in master mode on another
PC.
For each PC in a multi-PC system, you can specify
whether the microphone activity logging is sent to
file, printer and/or an auxiliary destination.
Synoptic Microphone Control
This module can operate in master mode and in
slave mode.
i Note
In Synoptic Microphone Control, slave
functionality is not restricted to monitoring. You
can also control microphones e.g. switching
them on/off.
When Synoptic Microphone is running in slave
mode, the following restrictions apply:
• Only the ‘Exit’ and ‘Print Activity’ options can be
selected from the ‘File’ menu. Creating, opening,
saving and deleting layout files and importing a
bitmap are not possible.
• The module can only function in control mode.
This means that the ‘Edit’ menu is disabled and
it is not possible to create a layout file.
• It is not possible to set the system microphone
mode, attention tone, ambient microphone
control, microphones off after shift function or
test the microphones.
With respect to activity logging, the module has the
same functionality as Microphone Management.
i Note
Altering the system microphone mode or
testing microphones is not possible if this is
simultaneously being done by a Microphone
Management module in master mode on
another PC.
Layout files and background bitmaps
The layout file that is used by the master application
is used by slave applications. When a slave
application is started and no layout file has been
opened by the master application, the slave
application will not have a layout. When the master
application is editing a layout, a slave application will
show the layout file as it was last saved. But when the
master application returns to control mode, the
layout file will be saved and all slave applications will
automatically show the new layout file.
i Note
If the master application is editing the layout file
for the first time, the slave applications can
have no layout file.
