[Scan-DC] Movie Fun

Sat, 22 Jun 2002 23:49:25 -0700

Hi,

Not a direct answer to your question, as I'm not familiar with RF-based
devices of this nature.  I am, however, intimately familiar with hearing-aid
devices used in live performance and TV theaters, which operate with zoned
infra red radiators.  Of possible interest, though, might be the wireless
microphone channels around such theaters.  Just a thought.

regards

John Collins
