Key Off Colour 

The ten lazy keys may be green for off and red for active or clear for off and red for 

active.  

 

Mic Live keys 

The mic live A, B and Guest keys may be used as just ‘on air’ indicators, or as 

momentary or latching ‘cough’ keys where pressing the relevant button will take the 

commentator off air (muted mic amp). When selected to off the keys will do nothing 

apart from indicating off air when a lazy key is pressed. Momentary will take the 

commentator off air only while the key is pressed. Latching will switch off air and 

remain off air until the key is pressed again. Latching mode also enables the GPI 

relays. 

 

TX Light Colour 

The TX switch lights (Mic Live A, B and Guest) may be selected to be green when the 

mic is live and red when not live OR red when the mic is live and off when not live. 
Press the TX Light colour button to toggle between the two selections. 

 

Sidetone 

Sidetone (or commentators hearing themselves) may be assigned in several 

combinations. This is an example for commentator A. 

Off: 

 

 

 

No sidetone, all ‘pot’ inputs are Dante assigned. 

Self A3, Co-comm A4   

Pot A3 = comm A voice, Pot A4 comms B and G. 

All A4   

 

 

Pot A4 = All commentators voices. 

Self A7, Co-comm A8   

Pot A7 = comm A voice, Pot A8 comms B and G. 

All A8   

 

 

Pot A8 = All commentators voices. 

When a potentiometer is assigned to sidetone its associated Dante input is no longer 

available.
