The Fidelio Receiver is the device that an audience member obtains from the theater customer
service kiosk. 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).
