Live Broadcasting Cart (LBC) Operation |
| Plug power cord from LBC into 110v power outlet. Make sure
the power switch on the cart is set to the "on" position. |
| Plug broadcast cable into broadcast jack on the Classroom
Control Panel or in the Data Plate on the wall (usually near
the floor). Be careful not to bend the pin! |
| Turn volume all the way down on the preview monitor and
mute all TVs in the broadcasting area to eliminate feedback.
(For microphone use, see Audio Notes) |
| Position LBC so the person who is operating the camera
is facing the monitor screen. |
| Turn camera on and remove lens cap. |
| Center the video image on the monitor screen. Do not use
the eyepiece on the camera! |
| Adjust picture lighting by changing the settings on the
cameras, if light adjustments are available on camera.
Note: Colors may appear differently depending on the type
of lighting used. |

Audio Notes |
| If an audio mixer is present on cart, external microphones
may be used. |
| Plug external microphones into back of mixer or external
connection box, if present. |
| Adjust mixer settings to "5" for each audio device
you are using. |
| MASTER volume on mixer should always be set at "5"
or higher. |
| To eliminate background noise, set the mixer volume for
CAMERA to "0." |
| Background music/effects can be added by plugging a CD/tape
player (or other audio device) into the AUX port on the cart.
Adjust the mixer volume on the AUX dial to an appropriate setting
(usually below "4"). |
| While playing a pre-recorded tape in the camera during
a broadcast, the CAMERA volume must be set at "5."
The audio from the video tape will be broadcast and the microphone
on the camera will be essentially "turned off." |
