Abstract
A system for the capturing and relay of sounds from a moving object is described. A plurality of microphone units are positioned at various locations on the moving object to capture sounds. Signals are generated based on captured sounds and transmitted from the moving object to a central receiving station. The central receiving station then takes the signals received and processes such signals for transmission to a communications network for broadcasting the sounds to an audience.
Claims31
A method for determining surround sound from a moving object, comprising the steps of:
- coupling a plurality of microphone units with the moving object to capture sounds;
- transmitting signals indicative of the captured sounds to a central receiving station;
- and transmitting information, from the central receiving station, to a communications network for replaying the sounds to an audience.
A system for capturing and reporting surround sounds of a moving object to an audience, comprising:
- a plurality of microphone units for capturing sounds from the moving object;
- a transmission unit communicatively coupled to the microphone units for transmitting information indicative of the sounds as wireless signals;
- and
- a central receiving station and a television network, the central receiving station capturing the wireless signals and relaying information about the signals to the network, the network broadcasting the sounds to a television viewing audience.
A sound capturing and relaying system for a racecar, comprising:
- a racecar having a cockpit for a driver of the car;
- a plurality of first microphone units for capturing sounds of the racecar, each first microphone unit being mounted within a recessed area formed in the racecar, the recessed areas located distal to the cockpit;
- a second microphone unit located proximal to at least one of the cockpit and a centerpoint of the racecar;
- at least one transmission unit mounted to the racecar and communicatively coupled to the plurality of first microphone units and the second microphone unit for transmitting information indicative of the sounds as wireless signals;
- and
- a central receiving station and a communications network, the central receiving station capturing the wireless signals and relaying information about the signals to the communications network, the network broadcasting the sounds to an audience.
