Set Up Interpretation Channels - Shure DDS 5900 Manual

DDS 5900 Digital Discussion System
Interpreters use the portable DC 5980 P to transmit simultaneous language interpretation of the discussion. Partic-
ipants listen to their desired language channel on any microphone unit with a headphone output.

Set Up Interpretation Channels

1. Begin by programming the portable DC 5980 P as an interpreter station.
1. Power on the unit by properly connecting it to the DCS-LAN chain.
2. Press and hold the '-' and '+' volume buttons. The Speak light flashes to indicate the unit is ready for pro-
gramming.
3. While continuing to press the volume buttons, press the channel button. Interpreter mode is set when both
channel LEDS are illuminated.
2. Select one of the two channels for audio transmission from the interpreter unit. The channel LED will illuminate
to indicate the selected channel.
Note: Multiple microphone units can be set for the same interpreter channel to support multiple interpreters at
once.
3. Program another DC 5980 P for the second language and select the other channel for transmission.
4. For each participant in the meeting, select the headphone channel that corresponds to the interpreter lan-
guage. Listen to the interpretation channels on any microphone unit with a headphone output.
Note: Flushmount DC 5900 F units are not programmable as interpreter units.
