Two-Way, Two-Language Question and Answer
This solution can be used for two groups who speak different languages and need a back-and-forth dialogue. A single interpreter
alternates between languages, first interpreting English to Spanish, then interpreting Spanish to English, and so on. The Digi-Wave Dock
can be used to easily connect an IC-2 Interpreter’s console for this setup. In this example the audience can ask questions and hear the
answers in their language ( English on Group 1, or Spanish on Group 2).
How it works:
By using the Ch. 2 Out and Relay-In on the IC-2, the Interpreter hears Group 1 (English) while interpreting to Group 2 (Spanish). If a question
is asked in Spanish, the interpreter switches to “Relay-In/Ch 2 Out OFF” mode to hear the question in Spanish and interprets Spanish back
to English. English travels back from the IC-2 in the opposite direction.
Audience members choose the Group for whichever language they want (Group 1 for English, or Group 2 for Spanish). The Audience
stays in their Group (they don’t need to change Groups), and they can ask questions, make statements, and hear questions and answers/
statements in their language. When anyone in either group asks a question, the audience members hear it in their language, and they also
hear the answer in their language.
Required Equipment:
One Digi-Wave dock, One IC-2 Interpreter’s Console, two DLTs, 3 XLR cables, one XLR-RJ45 IC-2 cable, audience DLTs/DLRs as required.
