LBB 3520/10
Interpreter Desk with LCD Screen
• Can accommodate up to 15 languages including
the floor language
• Pre-select keys for language selection
• 'Quality indication' of incoming languages
• Backlit LCD screen for clearer information display
• Improved ergonomic design to simplify operation
The LBB 3520/10 is a single-user interpreter desk which
conforms to internationally-agreed standards. This
innovative and stylish microprocessor-controlled unit
(A-B type) can accommodate up to 15 different lan-
guage channels plus the original floor language. A maxi-
mum of six desks can be installed per booth. An LCD
screen shows the selected language and other related
information. The LCD screen has backlighting, which
makes it easier to read, especially in conditions of poor
lighting, and removes the need for external light
sources.
Improved ergonomic design with coloured controls
simplifies the use of this unit. In addition, new lines on
front panel create a clearer link between buttons and the
on-screen display, which also improves ease-of-use.
The LBB 3520/10 is suitable for stand-alone use or as
part of a more comprehensive system. When used
stand-alone, the built-in microprocessor is manually
programmed to allocate language channels, channel
routing and interlocks. In operator-controlled systems,
the desk is used in combination with DCN dedicated
software (and other interpreter desks) to form a com-
pletely integrated interpretation network.

Three pre-select keys on each unit eliminate the need to
manually search through all available language chan-
nels. Interpreters can quickly pre-select the three
incoming language channels of their choice, including
the floor language. This leads to quick switching
between languages and reduces the chance of operator
errors. The desk alphanumeric display gives an at-a-
glance indication of the selected language.
A further refinement is an indication of the 'quality
level' of the incoming languages. Previously, interpreters
had no way of knowing if they were receiving a direct or
an indirect interpretation. This facility gives them the
option of avoiding the use of an indirect interpretation
if a direct interpretation is available.
