A menu and associated slider at left in footer of the TalkShow Desktop control the audio supplied to
the 1/4” Phones jack and XLR outputs on the rear panel.
SECTION 3.7 TALK BACK
TalkShow’s unique Talk Back feature permits the operator to selectively interrupt the normal audio
return channel to remote Skype callers to communicate directly with them. Simply connect a
standard headset with microphone to the pink (mic) and green (output) motherboard audio
connectors on TalkShow’s backplane.
Click and hold down the Talk Back buttons beneath the viewport for a channel to talk, and release
to restore standard return audio flow.
Headset Listen Gain for Talk Back can be adjusted in the global Setup panel, opened by clicking the
configuration button (gear) next to the titlebar clock.
Hint: You can latch the Talk Back button in the ON position by holding down CTRL before clicking
it. This lets you speak to several selected remote callers at one time on VS-4000.
SECTION 3.8 TALLY LIGHTS
TalkShow’s production Tally support allows you to drive internal tally indicators
from external devices, and also to trigger an “On Air” overlay that is shown to
remote Skype callers at the appropriate time.
Tally indication can be received at TalkShow over a custom cable connected to the
15-pin Tally port on TalkShow’s backplate. NDI connections are bi-directional, thus TalkShow
outputs over NDI also natively support tally notification.
A red border is drawn around the viewport for a TalkShow channel that is currently visible on
Program output of a connected system with corresponding tally notification features, while a green
border denotes Preview row selection (NDI tally connections only).
