7.7.3.1.3 Replace Mode

The Replace Mode option was integrated especially for the operation of the

Telephone Hybrid system as a command device. For example (see Fig. 39) the

high quality image and high quality sound are transmitted via satellite to the

studio. The command line is provided to the correspondent via a normal tele-

phone.

FIG. 39 APPLICATION FOR THE REPLACE MODE

To use the advantages of the Hybrid system the incoming signal of the satel-

lite is fed by the correspondent via an Audio interface, to the Hybrid (Re-

placed x). Via the Telephone Hybrid a default connection is established to the

correspondent. Now the system replaces the telephone back channel via the

Replaced line. The command line (channel to the telephone) will not be

changed. It is now possible to have any conference in the studio with several

correspondents. Several alternative Lines, as well as the Hold and On Air

Lines, can be defined as Audio interfaces to the mixer.

All functions of the Hybrid are available. A correspondent can even be trans-

fered to an optional telephone.

Audio Input/Output Interface

Assignment (see CHAPTER 7.7.3.14.2, page 99) can be defined as Replace B

channel Line 1...12. This option defines which line (B channel) is replaced by

which Audio interface. For a better identification the associated Input is indi-

cated in the index.

Additionally, the MAGIC TOUCH user interface displays a symbol on the

particular line (e.g. for input 1) with the relevant Audio input interface

(see Fig. 40).

In total a maximum of 12 Replaced Lines and Hold/On Air/Alternative Lines

is possible since the system provides within the complete build, a total of

twelve

Audio interfaces. A Pre Talk Audio interface can not be defined be-

cause it does not make any sense considering the operating technique.

Until release 3.0 a maximum of only seven Audio interfaces are available.
