  • Publication number: 20240007821
    Abstract: Mixer devices for efficiently processing multitrack audio including: at least one audio input port for receiving local audio from an audio input device as at least one local audio input; a memory; a user interface, the user interface including at least one adjuster; and at least one control unit electrically coupled to said receiver, said transmitter; said at least one audio input port, said memory, and said user interface; the at least one control unit programmed to control local gain of the local audio and local mixing. In another aspect, the mixer devices also remotely control the gain of bodypack receivers capable of receiving local audio input in analog or digital form. A novel display is also incorporated to facilitate such control surrounding the adjustor capable of performing the control.

  • Publication number: 20230245682
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wirelessly recording multi-track audio files. In some aspects, each performer is equipped with a local audio device capable of locally recording the respective performer's audio while also transmitting it to a master recorder. Functions of the local audio device may be adjusted remotely. The locally recorded audio may be used to repair or replace any audio lost or corrupted during transmission to the master recorder. Such repair or replacement may be performed electronically or via playback of the locally recorded audio. In other aspects, a master recorder is not required since all locally recorded audio may be combined or otherwise processed post-recording. Locally recorded audio may include identifiers to aid in post-recording identification of such audio. A multi-memory unit is provided to facilitate manipulation and processing of audio files. A method for automatically adjusting local audio device power mode based upon recorder status is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 10061107
    Abstract: Systems and techniques for an optical scanning microscope and/or other appropriate imaging system includes components for scanning and collecting focused images of a tissue sample and/or other object disposed on a slide. The focusing system described herein provides for determining best focus for each snapshot as a snapshot is captured, which may be referred to as “on-the-fly focusing.” The devices and techniques provided herein lead to significant reductions in the time required for forming a digital image of an area in a pathology slide and provide for the creation of high quality digital images of a specimen at high throughput.

  • Patent number: 9904505
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods for processing and recording audio with integrated script mode. A script is displayed to a user in conjunction with auto-selected and/or user configured script parameters. The script is manually advanced during a first recording of a take and the script movement is recorded. In subsequent re-takes of the same take, the script advances automatically, thereby alleviating the need of the user to manually advance the script.

  • Patent number: 9336307
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for wirelessly recording multi-track audio files without the data corruption or loss of data that typically occurs with wireless data transmission. In some aspects of the present invention, each performer is equipped with a local audio device capable of locally recording the respective performer's audio while also transmitting it to a master recorder. The locally recorded audio may then be used to repair or replace any audio lost or corrupted during transmission to the master recorder. Such repair or replacement may be performed electronically or via playback of the locally recorded audio. In other aspects of the present invention, a master recorder is not required since all locally recorded audio may be combined or otherwise processed post-recording. Locally recorded audio may include identifiers to aid in post-recording identification of such audio. A multi-memory unit is also provided to facilitate manipulation and processing of audio files.
