- Live-show crews using talkback comms
- Worth noticing
- The page says it can identify talkbacks from a screenshot of a console channel list or patch list.
Field notes
The setup begins by routing talkback microphone feeds to inputs on audio interfaces the Mac can see, then naming them or using a screenshot of a patch list. The page describes LTC timecode input, including automatic frame-rate detection, and lets operators configure notes to appear, flash, speak aloud, or play a recording at a specified moment. Remote buttons can send OSC to compatible software or equipment.
