SYNOPTIC MICROPHONE CONTROL 1 1.1 ABOUT SYNOPTIC MICROPHONE CONTROL What is Synoptic Microphone Control? The Synoptic Microphone Control software program is one of a family of modules designed for controlling and monitoring conferences and discussions using the DCN contribution equipment. It is used for configuring and controlling microphones connected to the system, and uses icons to produce a graphical representation of a conference seating plan.
SYNOPTIC MICROPHONE CONTROL 1.2 WHAT IS A SYNOPTIC LAYOUT? 1 Making a graphical representation A synoptic layout is a graphical representation of the actual location of the DCN microphones, delegate units and chairman units in a room or hall. What you create on screen is a plan view of how your conference venue looks. The layout mode of Synoptic Microphone Control contains tools for creating and editing such layouts.
MICROPHONE MANAGEMENT 1 1.3 CONTROLLING MICROPHONES Conference procedures To successfully set-up, conduct and organise a conference it is necessary to provide microphone management procedures which facilitate many different types of conference or discussion. The system operator (or conference chairman) requires a choice of operating modes for controlling delegates waiting to speak, and the number of delegates who can speak at the same time.
MICROPHONE MANAGEMENT The operator can see which delegate is has been waiting longest to speak, as this microphone is represented by a flashing green icon. The operator can grant active status to this delegate, or indeed any other delegate on the request-to-speak list. The microphone of the delegate who has been speaking longest is automatically switched off to make room. The maximum number of active microphones (speakers) can be preset by the operator.
MICROPHONE MANAGEMENT Microphone control by delegate with override - is useful for smaller discussions where participants are given active status by activating a contribution unit key. The microphone of the speaker who has been speaking the longest is automatically switched off. No operator action is required. 2 There is no request-to-speak list (this mode is sometimes called ‘first-in-firstout’ or FIFO mode). The maximum number of active microphones (speakers) can be preset by the operator.

PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE Lavalier microphone - a mobile microphone carried by the user on a neck strap or tie-clip. Screenline - gives the screenline of the delegate as specified in the Delegate Database application. There are two other elements in the tool box: 3 Total Mics: 18 Microphone total - the total number of microphones with a valid seat number that remain to be positioned in the synoptic layout is displayed. Go to Control Mode - there is also an icon with ‘Control’ written underneath.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE 3.2 MAKING A LAYOUT Layout Options When creating a layout, there are a number of options in the ‘View’ and ‘Settings’ menus that make this task easier.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE NOTE: The seat numbers assigned using ‘Auto Numbering’ are the seat numbers in the current installation file. If all installation file seat numbers have been used, any further icons will not be given seat numbers. Small or large icons - if you are planning a layout with a large number of microphones (more than 50, for example), the ‘Small Icons’ option reduces the size of the screen icons and the tool box icons. To do so: • Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Small Icons’.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE The following dialogue box appears: 3 Fig.5 The ‘Select Grid’ dialogue box • Click on the radio button for the desired grid size. • Click on the ‘Ok’ push button. NOTE: Clicking on the ‘Cancel’ push button closes the dialogue box without carrying out the option. This applies to all dialogue boxes in Synoptic Microphone Control. Snapping to the grid - enabling this option causes icons to automatically align to the grid. To do so: • Select the ‘Settings’ menu and click on ‘Snap’.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE 3 Fig.7 With ‘Snap’ Fig.6 Without ‘Snap’ Rotating icons- causes the layout to automatically rotate clockwise in steps of 90°. To rotate the synoptic layout. • Select the ‘View’ menu and click on ‘Rotate Image’. Positioning icons on a layout To create a layout, the first step is to position the icons according to the actual layout. To do so: • Click on the appropriate icon type in the tool box and drag it to the desired location.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE Editing icons in a layout The Synoptic Microphone Control main window includes an‘Edit’ menu with commands for undoing commands and cutting, copying, pasting and deleting icons. This menu also allows you to edit an icon’s seat number. Individual or groups of icons can be cut, deleted, copied and pasted. To select more than one icon: • Click on the first icon required. • Press and hold the key. 3 • Click on further icons while holding the key.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE • Select the ‘Edit’ menu and click on ‘Cut’. The selected icon(s) are moved from the layout to a ‘clipboard’ buffer memory (which is not visible).

The mouse pointer turns into a cross-hair cursor in the centre of this area. • Position the cut icons by moving the mouse. • Click on the mouse button to paste the icons.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE Editing seat numbers - if an icon or icons have been deleted, copied or pasted into the layout, the seat numbers must be edited. To do so: • Click on the icon whose seat number requires editing. • Select the ‘Edit’ menu and click on ‘Number’. The seat number beneath the microphone icon becomes an edit field. • Type in the new icon number. 3 • Press the key. This performs a check on the seat number that has been entered.
PREPARING FOR A CONFERENCE To do so: • Open the DCN.INI file in the C:\windows directory. • In the section of the DCN.INI file titled [Synoptic], enter the command line: , where # is a number between 0 and 15. • Save the DCN.INI file then exit it. 3 • Close the application and restart it from Startup to implement the change.

CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE 4.1 WHAT IS CONTROL MODE? Monitoring and controlling a conference In control mode, the layout created in layout mode is used as a basis for monitoring and controlling a conference. The icons in the layout are functional, rather than just representational as in layout mode. They indicate the status of each microphone and function as buttons for the microphone the icon represents.
CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE • Flashing red - last minute of speaking time NOTE: This is only applicable if a limit has been set on speaking time using Microphone Management (LBB 3570). • • • • Green - microphone in request-to-speak list Flashing yellow - response microphone in request-to-speak list Flashing green - microphone is first in the request-to-speak list Red diagonal line - microphones that are disconnected are shown by an icon crossed with a red diagonal line.
CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE 4.2 CONTROL MODE DISPLAY OPTIONS There are a number of options in the ‘View’ and ‘Settings’ menus that make controlling a conference easier: • Small or large icons • Displaying seat numbers • Rotating an image • Displaying a red background for active microphones NOTE: These options are also available in layout mode, and are described in section 3.2.
CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE 4.3 USING CONTROL MODE Before using control mode, you should be familiar with the characteristics of each of the five microphone operating modes. Please refer to chapter 1.3 (‘Controlling Microphones’) and page 3-13 (‘Specifying the Microphone Operation Mode’) for further information. Switching microphones on and off In control mode, depending on the microphone operating mode, the operator can switch inactive microphones on, and switch them off again.
CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE Switching microphones off - to switch an active microphone off: • Click on the active microphone icon. 4 • In ‘Operator with Request List’ mode and ‘Operator with Request and Response List’, clicking on an active microphone icon turns the microphone off but does not remove it from the speakers list. Clicking on the icon again turns the microphone back on. • In ‘Delegate with Request List’ mode, turning an active microphone off causes a shift action to occur.
CONTROLLING A CONFERENCE The following dialogue box appears: 4 Fig. 1 The ‘Action Box’ NOTE: The ‘Shift’ push button is only enabled in ‘Operator with Request List’ mode and ‘Operator with Request and Response List’ mode. The ‘Clear Requests’ push button is only enabled in ‘Operator with Request List’ mode, ‘Delegate with Request List’ mode and ‘Operator with Request and Response List’ mode. The action box can be moved around the window as required.
