audio to a View operator.

1. Install a sound card on the View operator’s PC.
2. Connect a microphone to the PC’s sound card.
3. Connect a powered speaker to the PC’s sound card.
Fig. 39. Audio tab, set to deliver sound to and from the View operator’s PC to two
channels of audio, at one Multi site.
The Audio tab is unavailable on PCs without a soundcard.
!46 To monitor and record
You can monitor, record or do both, for each channel.
1. Click the Enable boxes to enable transmission of sound from point to point and
monitor it.
2. Click the Record box to record sound along with the video from the site.
!47 To enable “talking to” a site
• Click the monitor Talk boxes, as needed for each channel; see fig. 39. An
operator can broadcast on either or both channels, and to as many sites at
once as can be opened, that have audio.
Loud alarms can interfere with microphones or a speaker at times when they
could be needed most.
Onsite Audio, Using LocalView
Local View can be used to test or permanently monitor audio onsite.
