Line Button Columns
Talent Mode
Each line has 2 buttons, the left column for Caller 1 and the right column for Caller 2. Pressing
a line button places the caller on that line on-air using the corresponding hybrid.
Note: When the Nx12 is using a two-studio Show Mode (see Section 5.7), only the left column
will be active.
Pressing a line button when a call is already on-air locks the call. To unlock, press the line
button a third time.
If the handset is lifted or hands-free is active (the LED next to the hands-free button is illumi-
nated), the left line column will connect the line to either the handset or the Director’s internal
speaker/mic, rather than to the usual on-air hybrid. e right line column will continue to work
as usual. To move a caller on the handset to air, press the line button on either the left or right
columns.

column line button while you have a call on the handset (or in hands free mode) locks the caller.
