Patent ID: 7231233

Claim:
A method for remote monitoring and adjustment of sound or visual parameters in a wireless media system having an audio subsystem and an in-ear monitoring (IEM) subsystem, comprising the steps of: providing an access point in two-way communication with said audio and IEM subsystems, said access point capable of receiving subsystem status data and digitized audio data from said audio subsystem, and further capable of receiving subsystem status data from said IEM subsystem, and further capable of transmitting IEM audio and control data to said IEM subsystem; providing a control surface in two-way communication with said access point, said control surface capable of receiving said audio data and subsystem data from said access point, identifying parameters of said audio data so as to allow said parameters to be monitored, receiving adjustment signals for said parameters from said control surface in the form of IEM control data, and transmitting said IEM control data to said access point for communication to said IEM subsystem; and providing a visual subsystem in two-way communication with said access point, said access point capable of receiving subsystem status data and digitized visual data from said visual subsystem, wherein said control surface is capable of receiving said visual data from said access point so as to allow said visual parameters to be monitored, and further is capable of receiving adjustment signals for said parameters in the form of visual subsystem control data for transmitting to said visual subsystem.
