5.3 LBB 4172/00 DCN NG Simultaneous Interpretation
Simultaneous interpretation is an essential component
in the international congress venues of today. The
Simultaneous Interpretation program supports the
preparation of simultaneous interpretation facilities and
the monitoring of interpreter activities during a confer-
ence. It can accommodate 31 interpreter booths, each
with up to 6 interpreter desks.
Features and benefits
• Can accommodate 186 interpreter desks
• Online monitoring of interpretation activities
• Facilitates normal and relay interpretations
• Microphone mode options
• Specifying a language for each of the system interpretation
channels
• Determining the microphone interlock mode
• Online monitoring of interpreter activities during a confer-
ence
• Onscreen help facility
The main window has two display modes, both rich in
graphics for easy assimilation of information. One gives a
channel-oriented overview of system status, such as
which language is present on that channel, the mnemonic
for that language, on which language the interpretation is
based, and the number of the desk and booth generating
that language. The other display mode gives the same
information in a different form, providing an overview of
the status of each desk in each booth. This includes booth
and desk status (active or non-active), and the language
in and out of each active desk.
In addition, the software enables the operator to establish
microphone interlocks, between booths and within
booths, with or without using an override facility. In
interlock mode, the active microphone must first be
turned off before any other microphones can become
active. In override mode, any microphone can automati-
cally override the current active microphone and become
active.
The interpreter system settings are stored in an inter-
preter configuration file. There are a number of options
available to the user for working with these files, all of
which are standard DCN NG file options. These consist
of opening, creating and saving files under a new name.
A print function enables a hard copy printout of desk
and channel language assignment – ideal for use as a
reference to current system settings.
