A CrewCom Conference is an administrator-defined grouping of audio entities (inputs such as Radio Packs, wired intercom ports, etc.). Conferences are then created dynamically by mixing one or more audio entities and routing them to Conference subscribers accordingly. This method of subscription-based audio using Conferences is very powerful. Point-to-point associations may also be easily constructed using this method. Each association requires a separate, unique Conference. Conferences in CrewCom are full duplex (i.e. bidirectional) and there can be a maximum of 64.
Default Conferences are included as part of a system’s CrewCom Configuration File Defaults. New Conferences can be created using CrewWare. (See Create Conferences.)
Viewing Conference Information from the CU
Users can view details about each Conference on the system from the Control Unit LCD by accessing the Control Unit's System Configuration menu. Because a system supports up to 64 Conferences, you can sort Conferences (alphanumerically) by Name or by Type. CrewWare is required to create or edit Conferences, but the CU menu does allow you to assign a selected conference to a hardwire port or Aux In/Out from this menu.
