21 Cue and Talkback Operation
The codec supports both cue and talkback functions. Cue provides:
·
Offline communications between local announcers via the headphone jack outputs when the
TB CUE button is pressed on inputs 1-3.
·
Offline monitoring of the auxiliary input via headphone output 1 (HP1 only by default).
Talkback communication is available on inputs 1-3 between the remote codec and the studio. This
requires a dedicated IFB connection when using a:
·
Mono Peer-to-Peer + IFB program, or
·
Stereo Peer-to-Peer + IFB program.
It is also possible to broadcast mono program and use a separate communications channel, with
either the Tieline Music or Music PLUS algorithm, over a stereo program using the G3 Mono Peer-
to-Peer + IFB program template.
Configuring Cue and Talkback Matrix Routing
There is a separate Cue/TB matrix for each headphone output and for each program type, e.g.
mono, stereo, Mono + IFB, Stereo + IFB. To view these matrices open the
selecting HOME
displayed at the top of the matrix.
There are three ways to view the Cue/TB Mix screen from the Matrix Editor screen:
1. To momentarily view Cue/TB Mix routing, briefly press the TB CUE button on inputs 1-3, or
the CUE button on the stereo auxiliary input.
2. To view the Cue/TB Mix screen and edit routing press and hold the TB CUE button on
inputs 1-3, or the CUE button on the stereo auxiliary input for 3 seconds. Note: it is possible
to overlay more than one Cue/TB Mix on the screen simultaneously. The TB CUE button is
illuminated if a mix is active. Cue and talkback audio is also audible.
3. View and edit the Cue/TB Mix screen via Menu
.
Cue and talkback crosspoint routing is overlaid in the matrix and indicated in yellow. In the following
default stereo cue matrix example, when the TB CUE button for input 1 is pressed, audio from input
one is audible locally in the right side of headphones 1-3. In other words, the Cue/TB Mix overrides
Matrix Editor audio routing while the button is pressed.
