A successful Skype call relies, of course, on the remote caller being both signed in and
available for calls. Additionally, the contact must either a) list the account you sign into
TalkShow™ with as a contact, or b) configure their local Skype client settings to allow
calls from users that are not included among their personal Contacts.

Your Skype call is now active. TalkShow automatically presents audio and video from the
remote caller to its outputs for use in your production, including:

Video

o The SDI OUT port (Section 3.6.2)
o AirSend™ network output (Section 3.6.1)
o The Incoming and SDI Out preview monitors in the upper part of the

interface.

o The large preview monitor in the Call pane opened from the TalkShow™

Dashboard.

Audio

o The XLR connectors in the AUDIO OUT group (Section 3.6.3)
o The ¼” (6.35 mm) phone jack labeled Monitor (located beside the

Genlock input). (This output also carries the return audio, allowing you
to monitor the entire conversation.) Note that level control for this
output is provided in the Setup tab.
