GLOSSARY
All Call
For talk key assignment only. Activating an All Call key will also activate all
talk keys to the left of the All Call key (up to, but not including another All
Call key).
Alpha
Alphas are the user-changeable names which identify destinations
(intercom ports, party lines, etc). Change Alpha names for intercom ports
using the Port Alpha button in ADAMedit. Change Alpha names for
everything else using the Other Alpha button. When you assign a
destination to a talk key, the alpha name will appear in the alphanumeric
display for that key (on keypanels so equipped).
Auto Follow (AF)
A key assignment for listen keys only. Auto follow causes a key's listen
assignment to always be the same as the talk assignment. Thus, if you
change the talk assignment, you do not also have to change the listen
assignment. You can manually activate an auto-follow listen key
independently of the talk key. If you want auto-activation (or deactivation)
of listen during talk, use one of the other auto key assignments, such as
auto listen or auto mute.
Auto Functions
Auto functions are special key assignments that work with other key
assignments. For further information, see the glossary descriptions of
individual auto functions: auto-follow, auto-listen, auto-reciprocal, auto-
mute, auto-table, all-call, DIM.
Auto Listen (AL)
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto
follow, except that listen automatically activates during talk, Auto listen is
sometimes a good assignment for use with party lines or other non-
keypanel devices that do not have talk-back control of matrix crosspoints.
Auto Mute (AM)
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto
follow, except that listen automatically mutes during talk. Auto mute can
help prevent feedback or echo when talking to certain destinations. In
some cases, you may find it works better to disable talk latching for this
type of key, because if you accidentally leave talk latched on you will
never be able to hear the destination. To disable latching, in the
Keypanels / Ports menu of ADAMedit, check the "D" check box for any talk
key that has auto mute selected as the listen assignment.
Auto Reciprocal (AR)
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment forces you to
continuously listen to whatever is assigned to the talk key. It is used
commonly on keypanels which are not equipped with listen keys, to allow
listening to party lines. It is also useful to force listening when it is
desirable to have an operator continuously hear a party line or other
source.
Auto Table (AT)
A key assignment for listen keys only, when the corresponding talk key is
assigned to an IFB. Auto Table causes a listen key's assignment to always
be the same as the Listen Source for whatever IFB is currently assigned to
the talk key. (You define the Listen Source in ADAMedit during IFB setup.)
Auto Table is convenient in a broadcast environment when a director
needs 2-way communication with the IFB talent, AND the IFB keys are
frequently reassigned during the course of a program to talk to new talent
locations. Using ADAMedit, several IFBs can be set up in advance, and
their Listen Sources can also be defined during setup. Then every time an
IFB talk key is reassigned on a keypanel, the Listen Source for each new
IFB will automatically become the listen key assignment for that key. For
further information about Auto Tables, Listen Sources, and IFBs, search
for "IFB" in ADAMedit help.
Crosspoint
The term "Crosspoint", like the term "Matrix" is inherited from intercom
systems, such as the RTS CS9500, CS9600, and CS9700, that use a
switching matrix to route intercom audio. In those systems, the crosspoints
are the actual switches that close or open to connect or disconnect talk
and listen paths.
