How To Create A Studio Talkback On IP-12/IP-16
If the console is being deployed into a talk studio environment, a customer may want to create a talkback button to interrupt the studio speaker and/or the host headphones.
Instructions
In the IP Console GUI, set the function of Programmable Button 1 to Momentary/Surface LED. Apply.
In Navigator, go to the console blade and click on LIO Info. (you may need to click to expand the Surface 1 Spares section)
Go to Surface 1 Spares, double-click in the Momentary Connection field for Spare Btn 1. Turn on Momentary Connection and choose the destination (studio 1 speaker) and source (control room mic).
That’s all there is to it. Changing the button in the IP Surface GUI to give a momentary connection and light the LED enables the logic and setting the momentary connection in Navigator gives that logic its function. A momentary connection will route the designated source to the destination, then when the connection lets go, restores the original route.
Note that this momentary connection will override monitor muting. If the mics are on and muted and the board op hits this talkback button, the control room mic will still be heard in the speakers. When the button is released, the studio monitor source will be re-routed and if the mics are still on, will be muted.
