OPTIMUM BROADCAST AUDIO CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A processor-implemented method for capturing optimal audio in sports broadcasting, comprising:
- receiving real time data from a first instrumented camera situated in a venue;
processing the real time data to determine a first field position in the venue;
activating a first microphone from a plurality of microphones in a first microphone array based on the first field position; and
sending a first audio clip from the first microphone.

Abstract
The OPTIMUM BROADCAST AUDIO CAPTURING APPARATUS, METHOD AND SYSTEM (“OBAC”) transforms selection request, video feeds, and, audio feeds inputs via OBAC components into synchronized and optimum video and audio outputs. In one embodiment, a processor-implemented method for capturing optimal audio in sports broadcasting is disclosed, comprising: receiving real time data from a first instrumented camera situated in a venue; processing the real time data to determine a first field position in the venue; activating a first microphone from a plurality of microphones in a first microphone array based on the first field position; and sending a first audio selection from the first microphone.
