Abstract

The device enables a studio presenter to signal to remote presenters being interviewed over a satellite link so that they can reply earlier than they otherwise would do, thus preventing a gap between question and answer being apparent to viewers. The device can be adjusted to suit varying delays in individual communication channels.

Description

Description
This invention relates to television and radio broadcasters interviewing reporters in remote locations over a satellite link.
When a television presenter in a studio is interviewing another presenter in a remote location via a satellite link or telephone there is a small but noticeable delay in the transmission. This means that when one presenter finishes speaking it takes several seconds for the other presenter to realise and start answering, resulting in a few seconds of silence noticeable to viewers.
The device is a simple hand held push button device used by the studio presenter that transmits a signal over the satellite link that is inaudible to the viewer but can be detected heard by the remote presenter. The presenter will be trained to press the button when they know they are about to finish speaking. When the other presenter hears the signal, played through his earphone and again inaudible to the viewers, he will start answering even though to him the other presenter will carry on speaking for a few seconds. To viewers at home he will appear to start speaking just after the first presenter finishes.
The studio based device can have an adjustable delay to allow for the different delay in the signal depending on where in the world the remote presenter is and how the signal is being transmitted. The studio based host would be trained to always signal at a certain time, five seconds for example, and if the actual delay for that interview is two seconds then the device will delay the alert signal for three seconds. This means the studio presenter will not have to change his timing for each and every interview.
The studio based device can also incorporate a feature that can pause and delay the outgoing speech of the studio presenter by a length of time equal to the length of the audible signal to ensure that the audible signal does not obscure any part of the outgoing speech. The outgoing speech will be relayed live until the audible signal and then delayed after it, resetting to live after a pie set time.

Claims (5)

  1. CLAIMS1. A device for signalling a remote presenter by a studio presenter to enable them to reply before they hear the studio presenter finish speaking.
  2. 2. A method for the studio presenter to signal at their discretion having been trained to do so when they expect to finish speaking in a pre determined amount of time.
  3. 3. A method for an audible signal to be sent to the audio feed to the remote presenter that they can hear but will not be heard by the audience.
  4. 4. A device to delay the sending of the signal by an amount of time that can be set to correspond with different transmission channels to enable the signal to arrive at the appropriate time for that particular channel.
  5. 5. A method of storing and delaying the studio presenters audio signal before it is sent to the feed to the remote presenter by an amount of time equal to the length of the audible signal so that the audible signal shall not obscure any part of the studio presenters speech. a. * * a. * iS aa e* **s * S *.. tern. * Si * S S..S *0S
