In TV studios talkbacks are often used to enable crew members to be able to communicate to each other if needed, it is especially used by those who are in different rooms to give instructions or ask a question, an example of this is if the sound operator was wanting to peform a mic check and they are in the control room, they just have to speak through the talkbacks and ask the floor manager on the studio floor if he can get the talent with the microphones on to speak.
Talk-backs should only be used when needed and no general chat is allowed, people must also be able to keep stuff short and be clear, they need to also state who they are and who they want to talk too or it could cause confusion. One final thing you should never do is talk over the director, as he has the most important role and the things he's saying need to be heard clearly.
