Configuration
- Select "Use Masseter Headsets" under Tools > Preferences > Administrator

- Click the Advanced button, and configure the Headsets to their appropriate roles
- Ensure the Headsets are appropriately assigned to the Subject and Examiner roles.
- Without input, LXSoftware is unable to identify which headset is in which role
- Any video recorded will be dubbed with subjects headset outputs and inputs.
The examiner role can also be routed to any speaker and microphone using the custom entry option
Note: In some instances, the names assigned to these devices by windows may change. If this occurs, you will need to repeat Step 2 in order to restore functionality.
- The Masseter Headsets should now be ready to use. All Masseter headset microphones and speaker endpoints will be recorded in the PF.
- Any video recorded will be dubbed with the Subject speaker output on one stereo channel, and their microphone pickup on the other.
- Examiner speaker output and microphone pickups are also recorded and preserved for future reference
- Text-to-Speech and Multimedia presentations will be recorded if they are routed to the subject speakers. See the follow sections for more information on how to configure these options.
Text-to-Speech
