Section 6: CS 5 IU Interpreter Station
Refer to
fig. 8
on page 29.
10 Loudspeaker: The loudspeaker is automatically muted when a pair of headphones is connected to the headphone
output (18).
When no headphones are connected to the Interpreter Station, the loudspeaker reproduces the selected incoming
signal. The rotary controls (6), (7), and (8) adjust the loudspeaker signal.
OUTPUT SELECT: These keys select one of two pre-selected target language channels and allow the interpreter to re-
quest the talker to speak more slowly or to call a technician for assistance (provided a technician is available).
11 A: Routes the microphone signal to the target-language channel specified for this booth.
12 CALL: This key has two functions:
• Pressing <CALL> momentarily sends a "speak slowly" signal to the talker. The red LED above the <CALL>
key and the green LED on the microphone arm of the talker's Delegate Station will flash for about 5 seconds.
The display (5) shows the message "SENDING SLOWLY PLEASE". Pressing <CALL> momentarily again before
the five seconds have elapsed will stop the signal.
• Holding down <CALL> for at least 3 seconds activates an appropriate message on the computer monitor
alerting the technician that an interpreter needs assistance. To cancel the signal, hold down <CALL> again for
about 3 seconds.
13 B: Routes the microphone signal to the source-language channel specified for this booth.
14 MICROPHONE: This toggle switch provides three positions:
• OFF: The microphone is off and the LED on the microphone arm is dark.
• ON: The microphone is open and the LED on the microphone arm is lit.
• MUTE (cough button function): The microphone is muted and the LED on the microphone arm is dark for as
long as you hold the switch in the MUTE position. The switch will return to the ON (center) position as soon as
you release the switch.
15 Microphone input.
16 External microphone input: This mini jack allows you to connect the microphone of a headset if the client spec-
ifies headsets for the interpreters instead of microphone arms and separate headphones.
17 System port: RJ45 connector for CS5 MK.. LAN cables. (Refer to section 2.2 for example wiring diagrams.)
18 : Mini jack for stereo headphones.
6.3 Setting Up
Important:
• According to international practice as specified by the AIIC, each interpretation booth must provide
two Interpreter Stations because interpreters never work alone. Having an interpreter work alone in a
booth would be unethical.
Note: In the following sections, the terms "source language", "target language", and "relay language" will be used
frequently.
The source language is the language an interpreter translates into another language. That other language is
called the target language.
A relay language is a target language that is used as a source language by another interpreter if that inter-
preter is not qualified to interpret the original source language.
6.3.1 Making Connections
1. Screw the microphone capsule on the gooseneck.
2. Screw the gooseneck into the microphone input.
3. Use the appropriate CS5 MK.. cables to connect the system ports on the microphone station to the system ports
on the preceding and subsequent microphone stations.
