Live demonstrations and successful field testing of product have been televised by ESPN at the Great Outdoor Games, X Games, MLB Sunday night and All Star Games, NHL All Star games, WNBA and College Football. The development project, named ‘the MicroPlayer Transmitter,’ has enabled broadcasters to attach a very small voice transmitter to athletes, which has been used by the networks to broadcast players’, athletes’, or officials’ audio at any event.
The system measures 2.3" (52mm) length, 1.75" (32mm) in width, and 0.65" (13mm) thick, and weighs just one ounce. The QT-256 has a very sophisticated combination of transmitter technology and a small lavalier microphone one tenth of an inch in diameter. The power output is 100mW, with eight hours battery life. The frequency is selectable from 690-750 MHz.
