  • Patent number: 12641149
    Abstract: A system 3 synchronises a plurality of AV devices 2 to corresponding multichannel audio. Each device 2 has preloaded images, and a distribution device 4 wirelessly connected AV device. The server 4 triggers preloaded images on each device. A cinema server 6 is connected to server 4 and configured to send time codes signals. A sound mixer 7 is cable connected to the cinema server 6 and receives audio data corresponding to VR images simultaneously with the server 4. The server 4 is cable connected to a wireless access point 5 to simultaneously message each device 2. A speaker element is provided for each channel of audio connected to mixer 7 such that upon receipt of the audio file, the mixer 7 relays each channel audio signal to respective speakers 8 in synchronisation with the VR device images.

  • Patent number: 12108235
    Abstract: A system 3 synchronises a plurality of virtual reality headsets 2 to corresponding multichannel audio. System 3 has a plurality of independently operable virtual reality headsets each having one or more images preloaded thereon and a distribution device 4 in the form of a server is in Wi-Fi communication via a wireless access point 5 with each virtual reality headset where the server 4 triggers the one or more preloaded images on each headset. A sound rack device 6 is in Wi-Fi communication with server 4 and configured to send time codes signals thereto. A sound mixer 7 is in cable communication with the sound rack device 6 and receives audio file data corresponding to virtual reality image content therefrom simultaneously with the server 4. The server 4 is cable connected to the wireless access point 5 and configured to simultaneously message each headset 2.
