IntroductionAudio TalkbackMakito X User’s Guide, v2.2, Issue 02 40Audio TalkbackThe Audio Talkback feature allows users to stream a mono channel of audio back to aMakito X encoder over a reliable LAN or WAN. Audio talkback enables end users moni-toring a streaming session to “talk back” to individuals at the video source. For example,talkback enables students at remote classroom locations to ask their teacher questions, or achief surgeon observing a surgery to collaborate.Audio talkback uses the InStream software player application or the Makito X decoder(release 1.2 and later) to send the talkback audio to the Makito X encoder. The talkbackaudio stream is output via a speaker or headphones connected to the encoder’s 8-pin Mini-DIN connector (see “Analog Audio Interface” on page 35).
