When Action Audio Apps helped put spectators on the field by enabling them to listen to the comments of the Arena Football League's Orlando Predators players and coaches, Professional Wireless Systems (PWS) was on the sidelines providing frequency coordination for this game-changing experience.
The technology behind this new media application is a partnership between Q5X's innovative player mics and transmitters, the only PlayerMic solution approved by the NBA, and PWS' expert RF coordination. The system was deployed at all Orlando Predators home games this season and was also used at this years Arena Bowl.
The app from Action Audio not only allows users to dial into a particular player or coach but also offers several combined channels, such as the offense or defense channel. Typically four or five players from the offense and four or five players from the defense, along with the coaches and select referees, are micd for the games. The free app can be pre-installed or downloaded once the user arrives at the venue. Within a few simple clicks, fans can access the interactive app's multi-channel keypad and select specific channels for continuous action. In addition, if a user is unable to attend the game, he or she can tune into the locker, which offers replay clips from the previous weeks game.
Signal interference has the potential to be a huge disruption for our apps, so having the frequency coordination experience and expert knowledge of Jim Van Winkle and the PWS team is a huge asset to us, says Sebastian Failla, Action Audio Apps president. As we see and envision our company growing into different sports and leagues and arenas around the country, it's nice to have partners like PWS and Q5X working with us.
At the heart of the system is Q5Xs QT-5000 RemoteMic. The QT-5000 is a rubberized, flexible, water and sweat resistant body pack that will not injure the wearer even if the player falls on it or takes a direct hit. The QT-5000 RemoteMic is part of the Remote Control Audio System (RCAS), a revolutionary way to control transmitter settings. All aspects of transmitter operation (audio level, change the frequency, etc.) can be remotely monitored and controlled from a computer interface, which allows the transmitter to be adjusted remotely without the need to contact the player. This is a stand-out feature for Action Audio Apps since once the game starts, the company typically does not have access to the players to make adjustments.
With a lot more radio devices in use these days, congestion and competition for the RF spectrum is at an all-time high, and PWS has frequency coordination down to an art form, so we always enjoy working with them, says Q5X CEO, Paul Johnson. PWS is really unparalleled in its ability to manage wireless frequencies and keep everything running without interference.
