Listening is metered at the bottom of the peak / talk / listen meter of each channel (see
8-1). Many users running live sessions to the same Multi-Media site can listen in at

once. All sound sources are mixed at a Multi-Media operator's station, regardless of the
number of sites being monitored at once.
Caution
Do not use a dial-up connection for live audio in combination with live
video. Video can be corrupted due to the bandwidth limitations of dial-up.
Recorded video and audio can be saved to a clip and the clip transferred
to an Operator's PC. Only combine Live video with audio on a network
connection.
A Multi-Media unit offers two channels of audio. Each channel of sound can be monitored
independently or together. When the mouse pointer is placed on a button, a tool tip
appears to identify the channel.
Minimizing Background Noise
Background noise can build-up as an operator monitors more sites at the same time. To
reduce this background noise, end the audio monitoring of the Multi-Media sites that you
do not need to monitor.
Click the Channel 1: Talk button on the audio toolbar, the Channel 2: Talk button or both.
Talk is metered in the center of the peak / talk / listen metering of each channel (see
8-1). An operator can broadcast on one or both channels, and all at once to many
Figure
sites that have audio (as many as can be opened).
