Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable TV viewers to confirm easily speakers in TV pictures by using a speaking display device and a voice level discriminator. CONSTITUTION:Microphones 1 and under-speaking state display devices 2 are provided in response to one or plural participators to a TV conference. These microphones 1 and the devices 2 are connected to the voice level deciding units 3 respectively. The unit 3 decides an under-speaking state if a sound signal higher than a certain level is supplied through the microphone 1. Then the unit 3 actuates the corresponding device 2. Thus only the device 2 corresponding to the speaker in the TV screen of the conference room at the remote side is driven. Thus the participators in the conference room at the remote side can easily confirm the speaker in the TV screen.
