Abstract
A wireless microphone system for use with a mobile digital recording system is disclosed. The wireless microphone system is comprised of a wireless microphone with a built-in transceiver and an in-vehicle transceiver that is connected to a mobile digital recording system. The wireless microphone can transmit audio information in real-time to the in-vehicle transceiver when the wireless microphone is in radio range of the in-vehicle transceiver. The wireless microphone can operate out of radio range of the in-vehicle transceiver by saving recorded audio data to a memory. The saved audio information can be downloaded to the in-vehicle transceiver when the wireless microphone is back in radio range of the in-vehicle transceiver, and the system is enabled to synchronize the saved audio information with other information collected by the mobile digital recording system during the time that the wireless microphone was out of range of the in-vehicle transceiver.

11. A process for recording, authenticating, synchronizing, and storing digital audio and telemetry information using a wireless microphone associated with a mobile digital recording system installed within a vehicle comprising:
-
a) initiating activation of audio recording automatically;
b) associating at least one Body Pack Transceiver (BPT) with a mobile digital recording system through an In-Vehicle Transceiver (IVT) installed within a vehicle;
c) associating said IVT to send and receive communication signals to and from at least one BPT;
d) performing a pairing activity between said IVT and at least one BPT;
e) monitoring all associated BPTs for signal in-range and out-of-range status;
f) recording an incoming audio data stream;
g) creating and recording an Audio Watermark and embedding said Audio Watermark with said recorded audio data stream;
h) storing said audio data stream and Audio Watermark within a high capacity storage device;
wherein said audio data stream and Audio Watermark may be retrieved, in-whole or in-part from the high capacity storage device for later synchronization with recorded video and meta data for use in evidentiary proceedings. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14)
