4.1 Desktop Director
The Telos Desktop Director is both a control surface for putting calls on-air and a telephone
set for conversations with callers on the studio telephone lines. The Director has two modes of
operation – Producer (screener) mode and Talent (on-air) mode.
Tip
Since certain functions work differently in Talent versus Producer mode, it is important to
understand that there are two modes, and how to switch between them.
Status Symbol Icons
The Desktop Director uses Status Symbol icons displayed on the LED matrixes located between
the two columns of line select buttons. Here is what each icon means:
Line is ready for incoming or outgoing calls
Line is in-use by another studio (in two-studio modes only)
Line is ringing
Call is on hold
Call is On-Air – Column 1
