4.3 Setup
To realize the simultaneous interpretation function, the
interpreter unit should be incorporated in the congress
system and they should be setup before the meeting.
Any operating status of the interpreter unit will be
displayed on the LCD. Setup can be done via dialog
menu and the buttons on its panel. We will introduce the
configuration and operation of the HCS-8685 interpreter
unit in detail.
4.3.1 Direct interpretation, relay interpretation and
auto relay interpretation
Before the setup of the interpreter unit, you should
arrange booths according to the actual requirements of
the meeting. Assure yourself on the correct allocation of
all the interpretation channels.

Direct interpretation
Usually, if all interpreters can understand the speaker’s
language, they just listen to the floor language and are
doing simultaneous interpretation. The interpretation
languages are distributed to different channels, as
shown in figure 4.7. This is called direct interpretation.

Relay interpretation
In the second case, if an interpreter is not familiar with
the floor language, he/she cannot proceed to direct
interpretation. He/she needs to listen to the translation of
another interpreter and has to do “secondhand”
translation, as shown in figure 4.8. This is called relay
interpretation.

Auto relay interpretation
When relay interpretation is needed, the interpreter can
select a language by the monitor channel shortcut switch
button (1/2/3/4/5/6/7) and the Primary knob. Due to the
fact that the output language of each booth is arranged
beforehand, the relay booth must be setup before the
meeting. If the interpreter cannot understand the
speaker’s language, he/she does not need to select the
input language manually. His/her interpreter unit can
switch to his/her familiar language automatically. This is
called auto relay interpretation.
Example:
Booth 1 is for translation between English/Chinese.
Output channel A is English, output channel B is Chinese,
and output channel C is “None”. Booth 2 is for translation
between French/Chinese. Output channel A is French,
output channel B is Chinese, and output channel C is
“None”. We configure now booth 1 as relay booth for
booth 2.
When the speaker is speaking Chinese and if all the
interpreters of booth 1 and booth 2 are familiar with
Chinese, they can do direct interpretation. As shown in
figure 4.7.
When the speaker is speaking English, the interpreters
in booth 1 setup output channel B (Chinese) as
interpretation language. The interpreter units in booth 2
will take Chinese as their input channel. When the
microphone ON/OFF switch in booth 1 is pressed, the
floor channel indicating light in booth 2 will be turned off
and its Auto-relay indicating light will be activated. It
indicates that auto relay interpretation function is working.
The interpreters in booth 2 can do relay interpretation. As
shown in figure 4.8.
