Structuring the SDC 8000 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
pressing the MICRO key
ƺ – even simultaneously.
When two interpreters simultaneously interpret into the same target
language, the red signal light ring
¹
and the “Microphone active” LED
ƹ
on their consoles light up”.
Mode in booths: “Override”
Interpreters who are seated in the same booth and interpret into the same
target language can activate their interpreter consoles any time by
pressing the MICRO key
ƺ
– however, activating an interpreter console
will automatically turn off the currently active interpreter console.
In “Override” mode, an interpreter console that was just turned off can
only be turned on again if the interpreter console by which it was turned
off is deactivated.
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
language 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
provided).
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
interpretation channel.
