Virtual Comparator View
A dispatcher is not necessarily concerned with the details of master and sub comparators. He or she
wants to know which receiver is the one that is providing the audio. A System view or Virtual
Comparator view is shown below.
Sub Comparator A Sub Comparator B Sub Comparator C Sub Comparator D-1 Sub Comparator D-2
Site 1 Site 9 Site 17 Rx Site 25 Site 33
Site 2 Rx Site 10 Site 18 Vote Site 26 Site 34
Site 3 Rx Site 11 Rx Site 19 Rx Site 27 Rx Site 35 Dis
Site 4 Rx Site 12 Site 20 Site 28 Rx Site 36
Site 5 Rx Site 13 Site 21 Rx Site 29 Site 37
Site 6 Rx Site 14 Rx Site 22 Site 30 Site 38
Site 7 Site 15 Rx Site 23 Rx Site 31 Site 39
Site 8 Dis Site 16 Site 24 Site 32 Site 40
This view shows:
• A display for each receiver for each Sub Comparator
• No indication for the Master comparator
• A Virtual Comparator with 40 inputs.
• A single green "Vote" indication, showing the receiver being heard by the dispatcher.
• "Rx" indications for the receivers that are voted in the Sub Comparators but are not voted in the
master.
The Virtual Comparator view uses a special Master-Sub Comparator feature of the MCNRCD software,
and allows the use of a special Sub-Comparator display table. The Master-Sub feature in the MCNRCD
software allows votes on sub comparators that are not being used by the Master Comparator to be
modified to display “Rx” instead of “Vote”. They will be modified to display “Rx” since their sub
comparators are not the voted audio at the Master Comparator. In this display, there is an immediate
direct indication of which site’s audio (Site 18) is being heard by the dispatcher.
