The Use of Interpretation Equipment

This 1.5h workshop explains how to properly use interpretation equipment inside

and outside of the courtroom. This workshop covers:

• Radio Frequency vs. Infrared

• Receivers – different models, set-up, and troubleshooting

• Portable Transmitters: Range, dual channel, interference, different

microphones and advanced settings

• Alternate use of transmitters as a feed for the interpreter
• DigiWave – Why is it better and how to set it up?

• Stationary Transmitters – uses and settings

• Interpreter Control Unit – controls on the face, side, and back of unit

At the conclusion of this workshop, participants will have enough information to

setup, monitor, and troubleshoot the most commonly used equipment.
