How does Remote Simultaneous Interpretation work?

Remote Interpretation works differently depending on who is remotely connected

Delegates are remote

Picture
  • If the interpreters are on-site, we take the interpreter’s audio and directly stream the combined audio and video feed to delegates. To their mobile phones, laptops & PCs

​

  • Each language has its own dedicated stream, allowing delegates to enjoy a consistent viewing & listening experience.

Interpreters are remote

Picture
  • Our expert technicians will take the presenter’s audio and video presentation and provide this through the remote platform to the interpreters.

​

  • The interpreter's audio is then fed into a dedicated language channel that both on-site and off-site delegates can tune-in to.

Presenters are remote

  • The platform will capture the interpreted audio, combine and with the video from the remote presenter.

 

  • It then streams the event to delegates through either the organiser’s preferred streaming platform or the Congress Rental streaming platform.
