3.2 Using the hybrid channel
The hybrid channel manages 2 standard telephone li-
nes , and one cell phone input. Cell phone connects
using the “free hands” cable set (please see “2.2.6.2
Connecting a cell phone”). The three communications
can be in simultaneous conference.
It also supports communication conference 'Vox-IP',
made from a computer connected to channel 7
(USB). Turning the key "Return to Vox-IP", the hybrid
channel audio returns the phone lines to the PC
through the REC bus.
3.2.1 Operation
Its use is simple and error free due to its logic of secu-
rity and automatic control.
When a call enters, a blue LED in the corresponding
line will blink with each ‘ring'.
You can answer in two ways:
a) From the telephone associated to that line ;
b) from the console, by pressing the correspondent
line button. When doing it, you will take the line and
the blinking LED will be stopped.
HYBRID FADER must be closed so that the commu-
nication takes place through circuit of CUE. In these
conditions, you will listen to the caller by loudspeaker
CUE of the console and at the operator’s headpho-
nes. You can fit to the level with the control “CUE le-
vel”; and with the knob “Cue level” of the own hybrid’s
channel. In order to engage in a dialog, use the mi-
crophone of the talkback system, pressing button
TALK (when two lines are taken, the talk-back MIC is
sent to both callers). You will engage in a dialog in
mode half duplex.
When the private dialog finalizes, you can raise the fa-
der HYBRID towards the position “ HOLD ”, that sends
the on-air signal to the telephone lines to retain the
caller in waiting mode. The caller listens to the radio
(PGM signal). The CUE return disconnects automati-
cally in this position.
If now you raise still more the fader, you send the
calling to the air . The final position of fader is obtai-
ned verifying the level of the calling in the PROGRAM
VU-meters of the console.
SWITCH PGM - REC: So that the communication be
on air, switch PGM-REC must be on PGM . The hybrid
signal is sent to AIR or to recording output according
to the position of this switch. Please see “3.6.1 - Re-
cording of telephone lines”.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE AUDIO OF THE HYBRID
ON THE AIR; CHECK THE POSITION OF THE
SWITH “PGM-REC”. THIS MUST BE “PGM”
In order to quit the calling from the air and to send it to
the CUE circuit, close the fader HYBRID. If you want to
take the communication on the telephone set, you
must off-hook the telephone before to release the line
at the console (remember that the associated telepho-
ne is connected in parallel). If the telephone is hung,
the communication ends when release the line button.
3.2.1.1 Use with a CELL PHONE
The procedure is the same one that for land telephone
lines. The difference is: the call is not answered from
the console, but from the own cell phone.
