We recommend use TalkBackManager for audio communication with reporter)
Conference Addonis a tool that allows to organize two-way communication between many locations, for example Studio and Reporter or Studio and Guest.
Conference Addon also provides the ability to share screen and manage slides that are broadcast from the Studio using TV Guest encoder. More details about this case you can find here.
The main advantage that the addon gives is that it takes upon itself the creation of a mix-minus audio stream for each participant
Common question is "ConferenceAddon vs CrossLines"
Let explain: CrossLines is low-level tool. It's not create mix-minus audio: you should create mix-minus audio for each participant by other tool (like vMix for example). CrossLines is perfect for 1-2 participants but for many it's not usefull.
In other hand ConferenceAddon does mix-minus audio and use special method for encoding one video feed for many participants.
To open the addon please go to Top Menu-->Tools-->ConferenceAddon. In the first opened window "Participants" select the lines you are going to connect to the Studio and click "OK" button:
After selecting the lines, "Conference Addon" screen becomes available:
The following options are available in Conference Addon:
Master video drop-down
Allows to select the source(line) of video broadcast transmitted to the Studio from the Guest/Reporter.
Turns ON the video broadcast from the Studio to the Guest/Reporter. When click on this button the stream from the Studio is transmitted to all connected lines(Guests/Reporters).
