Structuring the SDC 8000 system
45
Using external equipment
External audio signals can be fed to the conference and interpretation
system and channels (floor channel and interpretation channels) can be
output.
You can, for example,
y connect a wireless microphone, enabling a speaker to move around
freely and to speak from anywhere in the room,
y feed external audio signals (e.g. the soundtrack of a video, music,
announcements from a tape, etc.) into the system,
y connect a PA system,
y connect an infrared language distribution system,
y directly transmit channels to broadcasting and TV stations,
y and record individual channels for documentation or archiving purposes.
Note!
Please note that a total of two audio sources can be connected to the
central unit and that a total of three channels plus the floor channel can
be output. If you wish to output more channels, you require the
optional SDC 8000 AO analog output unit.
Connecting external audio sources
Via the two XLR-3F sockets (AUX IN 1 and AUX IN 2) of the central unit,
external audio sources which output a balanced mono signal can be
connected to the conference system.
External audio sources are, for example:
y wired microphones
y wireless microphones
y the audio output of a video recorder
y a CD player
The signals available at the audio inputs AUX IN 1 and AUX IN 2 are fed to
the floor channel which is output via the consoles’ built-in loudspeakers.
For information on how to turn on the audio inputs and how to adjust the
volume and the input sensitivity, see:
y “Turning the audio inputs or outputs on and off” on page 95,
y “Adjusting the input level of an audio input” on page 96 and
y “Adjusting the input sensitivity of an audio input” on page 96.
Transmitting the floor channel and the interpretation channels to
broadcasting and TV stations
Important conferences and specialist congresses are of great interest to
the public. The SDC 8000 conference and interpretation system, therefore,
allows you to transmit the floor channel and the interpretation channels
e.g. to broadcasting and TV stations.
The floor channel is available at the XLR-3M audio output (AUX OUT 1) and
the 9-pole sub-D socket (AUX OUT 2).
