  • Page 9: Introduction

    1 Introduction 1.1 Overview The AccessLink is an audio distribution system that is used with non-Doremi cinema servers to provide two stereo channels from a single transmitter unit to a number of receiver units. AccessLink is designed to interface with the Fidelio system to enhance and assist people who are visually and/or hearing impaired in a motion picture theater.

  • Page 10: Requirements

    1.3 Requirements The installer will need to provide two (2) BNC to BNC cables for each AccessLink Transmitter being installed at the complex. The length of these cables will depend on your specific installation requirement. Specifically, the distance depends on where the transmitter will be from the Fidelio Audio Interface box.

  • Page 12: Overview

    2.1.1 AccessLink Transmitter The AccessLink Transmitter is the device that will transmit the Hearing Impaired (HI) or Visually Impaired Narrative (VI-N) audio track from the Digital Cinema Package (DCP) to the Fidelio Receiver. You will need one AccessLink Transmitter for every auditorium you choose to enable (Figure 1).

  • Page 13: Fidelio Receiver

    This receiver is to be configured for the auditorium number that is enabled for AccessLink transmission. The patron then takes the receiver into the assigned auditorium to receive the transmission from the AccessLink Transmitter. Depending on the configuration assignment, the receiver will either receive the HI audio track, the VI-N audio track, or both the HI + VI-N audio tracks (Figure 2 and Figure 3).
