OPERATION
The on air caller feed source can be any signal appearing at a console input
connector (except the caller inputs and the producer talkback input), any of
the four main buses, or either of the general purpose mix-minus buses. As
mentioned previously, the caller feed will never contain the caller’s own
voice.
Auto Selection of On Air Caller Feed
If this feature has been enabled by the installer, operation of the phone
section is different than described above. First, the phone can only be assigned
to one of the four main buses at a time. Selecting a new bus will turn off the
previous bus assign. Second, when the phone section is on and a bus assign
switch is pressed, the on air caller feed is automatically reselected to be the
assigned bus output, minus the caller’s own voice. If the current bus is
deselected, the caller feed goes back to what was selected for it by the
selection process.
Off Air Caller Feed Selection
Make sure that the phone section is OFF (OFF BUTTON is lit). Press the
SELECT BUTTON. The button lights, the CHANNEL DISPLAY shows
CALL OFF, and the SOURCE DISPLAY shows the current off air caller
feed. The ENTER BUTTON begins to flash. Turn the SELECT KNOB until
the desired off air caller feed shows in the SOURCE DISPLAY, then press the
ENTER BUTTON (the ENTER BUTTON stops flashing) to select the
source. The source name shows in the phone section DISPLAY, and the
SELECT BUTTON light goes off. Each caller will hear the displayed source,
along with the other caller’s voice, when the phone is off air. In each caller’s
feed, the caller’s own voice is absent.
The off air caller feed source can be any signal appearing at a console input
connector (except the caller inputs and the producer talkback input), any of
the four main buses, or either of the general purpose mix-minus buses. As
mentioned previously, the caller feed will never contain the caller’s own
voice.
Selection Timeout
If you don’t hit the ENTER BUTTON or move the SELECT KNOB for
ten seconds the select process will terminate, leaving the selection for the
phone section unchanged.
Bus Assign Buttons
Pressing any of the four BUS ASSIGN BUTTONS causes the audio of
both callers to be included in the output mix for that bus, at a level dependent
on the FADER setting for the individual caller, as long as the phone section
is ON (see ON and OFF BUTTONS). The button will be lit when the phone
is assigned to its respective bus. To remove the phone from a bus to which it
is currently assigned, press the button again; the light will go off to indicate
that the phone is no longer assigned to that bus. As mentioned before, if the
caller on feed auto select feature has been enabled, the phone section can only
be assigned to one bus at a time.
