Outboard

Details: 14 March 2016

An exciting extension to the well-known facilities of the TiMax system from Outboard, Track the Actors (TTA) is a WiFi-based tracking system using the 2.45GHz band - available in most countries - developed by some enterprising audiophiles in Norway. Tiny digital transmitters with a 6-hour (rechargeable) battery on board are placed on up 64 actors and used to provide location information to TiMax so amplified vocalisation can literally follow the actor using the TiMax audio imaging manipulation. The clever bit is the 16 spiral antennas packed into a 10cm square plate that sits up in the flies and provides the triangulation needed to make this work.A worthy PLASA Award winner.
