United Nations Interpretation Service - The Interpretation System Sequence

The Interpretation System Sequence

  1. The speaker talks to a "microphone discussion system" connected to a central system.
  2. The central control system distributes the signal to the audience that do not need interpretation and to the simultaneous interpreter.
  3. Audio consoles are placed in the interpretation booths. Interpreters receive the signal, and are still able to capture the environment of the meeting.
  4. The interpreter talks to his or her transmitter and the signal goes back to the central console.

Famous quotes containing the words system and/or sequence:

    “Society cannot share a common communication system so long as it is split into warring factions.”
    —Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)

    “We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
