Portable IP audio codec

TV MODE 

In TV mode, it is possible to make an independent mix for each of the five outputs (HP1, HP2 & HP3, AUX and TX 
Program), represented by five different tabs. 
 
Note: For output HP3 (“Guest” headphones), Talkback sources 1 & 2 are not accessible: 
 

 

 

In the TX Program tab, a button is used to monitor the PGM TX mix, which is streamed towards the studio, in the 
HP1 headphones.  
When the button is turned back to OFF,

 

then the HP1 headphones monitor their mix again. To prevent the user 

forgetting to reset the button to OFF, leaving the page will switch the button to OFF.  
 

 

RADIO MODE 

In Radio mode, the TX Program mix also becomes an input source that can be monitored in each of the headphones 
outputs.
