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:

    “Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
    —Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)

    “Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an autobiography.... For autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form—it may be called fleeting or eternal—is in neither case the stuff that life is made of.”
    —Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
