While I don’t have a particular need for an announcer console, I find it fascinating to think about the ramifications of making a talent-facing piece of hardware. I usually think about equipment that is designed to be specified and operated by trained technicians. In these situations, it is okay to have relatively complicated interfaces, because operators can be trained to pay attention to the information that is actually useful to them, and generally appreciate having more knowledge about what is going on in the state of a system. In contrast equipment that is designed to be used by the general public must be very simple to use, and not overly confusing. Unlike technicians, the public’s job is not to understand how their equipment works, just to give their presentation. I do think that it is also super advantageous to be able to remotely monitor and configure the interface. That way a technician supporting the talent can be ready to explain how to use the equipment, and reconfigure it to be as simple as possible for the talent.
