Interprefy Routing Panel
Learn how the Routing Panel manages audio flow between your event, the Interprefy platform, and your attendees
Interprefy Routing Panel (RP) manages audio flow between your event audio equipment, the Interprefy platform, and attendees. It ensures that floor audio, interpretation, and translated content are correctly routed throughout the event — from the venue to the Interprefy cloud-based platform and back to the attendees.
What is the Interprefy Routing Panel
The Routing Panel is used to control how audio feeds are distributed during an event. It allows you to select the floor language, choose input and output devices, and define how event audio, interpreter, or AI audio feeds are routed to specific channels.
By managing audio sent to and received from the Interprefy platform, RP ensures that all participants — whether interpreters, speakers, or attendees — receive the correct audio streams in real time.
How the Interprefy Routing Panel works
The Routing Panel supports two main audio flows:
- Sending audio to the Interprefy platform
(floor audio, microphones, and/or interpreter audio sent from the venue to the Interprefy platform) - Receiving audio from the Interprefy platform
(interpreted or AI-translated audio returned to the venue and/or attendees)
Depending on your event setup, the Routing Panel can manage audio sent to the Interprefy platform (for simpler configurations), or both audio sent to and received from the platform for more advanced setups involving on-site interpreters and venue audio distribution.
While the Routing Panel is primarily used to manage audio flows, it also supports video stream handling where required as part of the overall event setup.
Routing Panel modes
The Routing Panel operates in two modes, allowing it to support events ranging from simple setups to complex AV environments.
The selected mode depends on the complexity of your event setup and the type of audio infrastructure used at the venue.
1. Routing Panel Essentials
Routing Panel Essentials mode is designed for simple and quick setups, where the main goal is to send floor audio to the Interprefy platform for translation.
The translated audio and captions are then delivered to attendees through the Interprefy Mobile App or displayed on on-site caption displays.
Essentials mode is easy to configure and is well suited for events where a dedicated AV technician may not be available, but basic audio connections can be managed.
To find out more about RP Essentials, please visit our Routing Panel - Essentials user guide.
In this mode:
- Floor audio is sent from the venue to the Interprefy platform
- Floor language must be selected in the Routing Panel interface
- Captions are enabled automatically, once the Floor audio feed is started
- Minimal configuration is required
Recommended use cases:
- Events requiring AI translation
- Setups without complex AV infrastructure, using a dedicated laptop with a (USB) sound interface
- Attendees accessing AI translation via Interprefy Mobile App
- Non-technical operators managing the setup
- On-site Caption screens or mobile-based listening experiences
2. Routing Panel Advanced
Routing Panel Advanced mode is used to manage more complex audio setups, where greater control over audio routing is required. It supports both analogue connections (such as XLR-based systems) and digital audio environments using Dante.
This mode is designed for events involving more complex AV setups, on-site or remote interpreters, and hybrid configurations where multiple audio sources need to be managed and distributed.
To find out more about RP Advanced, please visit our Routing Panel - Advanced user guide.
In this mode:
- Multiple audio inputs can be managed
- On-site interpreter audio can be integrated
- Remote speaker audio can be integrated
- Audio can be routed both to and from the Interprefy platform
- Audio distribution to venue systems (e.g. wireless headsets) is supported
- Dante/Dante Virtual Soundcard (DVS) can be used for digital audio routing
Recommended use cases:
- Events with on-site or remote interpreters
- Integration with existing AV systems
- Hybrid events combining on-site and remote audio sources
- Complex setups involving Dante or professional audio infrastructure
