Defines requirements for the quality and transmission of sound and image input to interpreters and specifies the characteristics of the audio and video signals.

This document sets out requirements for the quality and transmission of sound and image input to interpreters and specifies the characteristics of the audio and video signals. The components of typical interpreting systems are specified in ISO20109 . Together with either permanent (see ISO2603 ) or mobile (see ISO4043 ) booths, these interpreting systems form the interpreters’ working environment. In addition to setting out the requirements for on-site interpreting, where participants (speakers and members of the audience) and interpreters are at the same location, this document specifies requirements for different varieties of distance interpreting situations in which the interpreters are not at the same location as one or more of the conference participants.

This document also addresses the work of manufacturers and providers of simultaneous interpreting equipment and technical staff.

In conjunction with either ISO2603 or ISO4043 , this document and ISO20109 provide the relevant requirements both for the quality and transmission of sound and image provided to interpreters and for the equipment needed in the booths, the conference room and the distant site(s).
