Additional talkback destinations may be configured to the programmable
buttons at the right-hand side of the main screen. This feature requires editing
an XML file and cannot be configured by a normal user.
Every location (TB from external, from CR, from Studio 1 - 3) has up to
four TB groups available. The operator can talk from one location to several
different TB destinations at a time by pressing a single TB group key.
Note: For dual-desk operation, both desks use the same TB groups when
using the same location (e.g. parallel operation). In case of A/B desk opera-
tion, every desk has its own TB groups.
TB groups are set up as described in the steps below:
• Press the STORE key on the desk, or touch the STORE button on the
MON - TB SP page.
• Select the TB group to be defined (escape by pressing STORE again). All
currently active talkbacks from this location are turned off. All destinations
of this TB group existing already will be selected. Pressing the TB GRP x
key (or button) again will clear the selected group.
• Collect the destinations by selecting them with their keys or buttons (or
GPI, if available). TB destinations to N–X can be selected either by press-
ing the TB key on the fader strip, or by touching the joker button configured
with the TALK function on the CHAN - FDR/Bus page.
Please note: Only destinations within the TB group's own location may be
selected. On a split desk in a different location, N–X cannot be selected. TB
destinations of the studio microphones no. 2 to 4 can be selected only when
using GPI.
• End by pressing STORE again.
The TB group settings are saved in the initial and assignment snapshots.
STORE and TB GRP x key functions may be assigned to any desk key, channel-
related keys excepted.
TB group activation, together with the momentary/latching key function (refer
to chapter 1.2), is very flexible and intuitive:
• You can, for instance, activate or deactivate a TB group permanently by
hitting its key ('latching'), or just for a short while by holding its key for
as long as required ('momentary').
• A TB group's member that already has been active when the group is
activated, it remains active.
• While a TB group is active, you can deactivate one or several of its mem-
bers permanently by hitting the TB key of the desired group member – or
just for a short while by holding its key for as long as required.
• When a talkback destination is member of more than one TB group, and
both groups have been activated at the same time, this destination is deac-
tivated as soon as one of the corresponding TB groups is deactivated.
• You can even de-activate a group with its TB group key while momentarily
holding down the TB key of one of this group's members, then this member
remains active until its TB key is released.
• While a TB group is momentarily activated (i.e. by holding its TB group
key), its members cannot be deactivated individually.
• As long as a TB group is active, its own key is illuminated, together with
the keys of all of its members.
