Radio Frequency (RF) and Wireless Technology Information

Operational Description

The Interactive Character Head Audio Controller (WDC# 6110-414070; Disney Drawing Number:

MLLHEADSA0002), also known as the Interactive Controller, or Belt Pack Controller, provides a means to

playback pre-reordered audio and animation, wirelessly receive and transmit real-time audio, and

wirelessly receive and transmit real-time data to and from an Articulated Character Head or electrified

costume application.

The human-worn belt pack device receives wireless data commands and audio from an external Audio

Base Station (WDC# 5830-413983; Disney Drawing Number MLLHEADSA0020), and also transmits audio

and data back to the Audio Base Station. Therefore, it can be considered a wireless transceiver for data

transmission, and a full duplex audio intercom, allowing mono audio to travel from the ABS to the belt

pack (for performer worn ear buds) and mono audio from the Belt Pack to the ABS (for microphone

surveillance built into the character head).
