IFB or Interrupted Feedback systems are used in filmmaking and video production for television crew communication, audio monitoring and cueing. The IFB is a special intercom circuit that consists of a program feed sent to an earpiece worn by talent via a wire, or radio receiver (audio that is being "fed back" to talent) that can be interrupted and replaced by a television producer's or director's intercom microphone. On a television news program for example, a producer can talk to the news anchors, to tell them when they are live on the air and when to begin reading off the script on the teleprompter or cue cards.
You can rent multiple IFB receivers if more than one person wants to "listen in" to the live audio of a production.
