Talk-backs enable the crew members to keep in contact with the Director. The camera operators, Floor Managers and Sound/DVD operators are equipped with them so that they can give information (any problems, or if they are ready) to the director, or to recieve advice/directions from them.
The talk-backs should only be used when necessary, as it can be stressful and complicated for the Director to hear genuine difficulties if there are people using them for random chatter. The DVD operator should wait until the DVD is fully ready to be played, so that they ensure that the Director can give the cue to cut to the DVD insert when needed. Camera operators should press the talk-back button and then wait for the Director to respond, as they may be in the middle of picking shots/too busy to answer straight away.
