What are they talking about?

[moresound]

If I read THIS correctly they have a card that they insert (much like a hotel key) into the microphone to be able to enable the microphone ..... Is this right?

I think they're talking about THIS SYSTEM which members of the Scottish Assembly use to identify themselves so the cameras a mics know where they're sitting and make sure their votes are counted but only once.

Wish there was a good picture of the microphone system.

From memory, they're pretty conventional conference-style mic (a smallish capsule on an extension tube) mounted on each desk.

All the card system does is let a single click on the member's name on a computer open the right mic (wherever he's sitting) and zoom the TV cameras in on the person speaking.

Kinda cool.

I'd pass on it, you'll end up losing the card and what not, to much fuss

That's all right- she's a politician. They knew she was lying without the mic anyway- her lips were moving.-Richie
