Specsheet Syncconsole (NUC)

The Syncconsole is the connection between the Podcatcher Portal and the hardware. Standard Syncconsoles delivered by us, will have TeamViewer installed so we are able to connect with the Syncconsole from a distance. If you would like our support, you can always contact our helpdesk. If we have to look into the Syncconsole to resolve a problem, we will inform you first.

We always recommend to connect the Sycconsole onto your ‘guest network’ so your internal network is protected at all times. Your system administrator will be able to do this for you as it’s his responsibility.  

This specsheet gives you more information about the Syncconsole we deliver, a NUC.

Podcatcher instructions (text) and Symbols (.ai) to add on a signage / or language activation panel

If you would like to add (or record) instructions for your visitors, on how to use the Podcatcher, you can use the text below;

ENG

“You start the commentary by pointing the player at an activation point, holding it no more than thirty centimeters (or one foot) away like a remote control. You don’t have to press any buttons; the commentary will start automatically after the beep.

The device has three buttons. Use the button on the left to turn the volume down and the button on the right to turn the volume up. Use the middle button to pause the commentary and then restart it.

If you are asked to select a fragment, the buttons function as options up, down, left, right.”

NL

“U start een verhaal door de speler binnen 30 cm op een activeerpunt te richten, net als een afstandsbediening. U hoeft daarbij geen toets in te drukken, het commentaar start vanzelf na de beep/pieptoon.

Er zitten drie toetsen op het apparaat. Met de linker toets zet u het volume zachter, met de rechter toets zet u het volume harder. De middelste toets gebruikt u om informatie te pauzeren en vervolgens weer te hervatten.

Tijdens een keuzefragment functioneren de toetsen als pijltjes keuzetoetsen”.

We also have icons available which you can use on your signage or language activation point.

These icons are the first steps on how to activate the Podcatcher. You can download the 4 icons here;
