Off-Air Conference

2-36 Desk Operation
SETUP: CONF
If the DSP configuration contains n-x buses, it is possible to setup an off-
air conference between n–x owner channels. After pressing this key, all n-x
owner channels become half-lit and members of a conference can be selected
(full-lit). As soon as their fader is closed, they will be able to talk to each
other. The conference setup is immediately edited, also while the console is
still in the setup mode. This allows for frequent changes of the conference
members, e.g. during election reports. Talking to a member of the conference
will activate talkback to the whole conference at the same time.
SETUP: CONF ON
The ON key is lit as soon as a conference is set up. The conferencing may
temporarily be deactivated by clicking on the conference icon
bar or by pressing CONF ON on the control bay. In this case the conference
definition is retained. As soon as the conference is reactivated globally (by
pressing CONF ON or clicking on the conference icon in the toolbar again),
the previously selected channels may talk to each other again.
The conference icon in the toolbar has two states:
Conference not deactivated
Conference temporarily deactivated (even if member faders closed).
Note: In certain circumstances, also an AUX master can be selected as a conference
member (indicated by its half-lit LINK / SEL key). This is intended for adding
e.g. an on-air signal to the conference. For more information refer to
4.6.1.1.3.
