| rdfs:comment | - A mobile emitter' is a piece of technology from the twenty-ninth century in the Star Trek continuum. It is used by holographic characters to travel outside of holodecks and other specially-equipped areas. Voyagers EMH has one, as does the Bashir Hologram. In the PPC, Agent Cornelius, an artificial intelligence in the DIAU, uses a mobile emitter combined with a D.O.R.K.S. to project a holographic form for use during missions. Unfortunately, the combination of technologies is unstable, so the form can only be maintained for short periods of time.
- The mobile emitter is a piece of equipment of the 29th century which allows a hologram, such as the EMH, to walk freely on any ship or planet, without the use of a holodeck or holo-emitters. (JB: "Just Between Friends").
- This small palm sized autonomous machine was a self sustaining mobile holographic emitter that was created with the intention of remotely powering and enabling a hologram to function any distance away from any holoemitters. This piece of future technology was constructed of poly-deutonic alloy and generated photons as well as the forcefield necessary to allow a hologram to remain active in any environment. The nature of the device allowed its capabilities to be transferred from one Holographic program to another. The emitter was able to be placed either on the exterior "skin" of the hologram or was capable of being enveloped by the hologram instead thus hiding it from view. (VOY episode: "Renaissance Man")
- The mobile emitter was a wholly self-contained holographic projector, generating the photons and force fields necessary to allow a hologram to physically interact with its environment. The emitter was either affixed to the exterior of the active holoprogram and thereby visible, or it could be covered or enveloped by the program, effectively hiding it from view. (VOY: "Renaissance Man")

| abstract | - A mobile emitter' is a piece of technology from the twenty-ninth century in the Star Trek continuum. It is used by holographic characters to travel outside of holodecks and other specially-equipped areas. Voyagers EMH has one, as does the Bashir Hologram. In the PPC, Agent Cornelius, an artificial intelligence in the DIAU, uses a mobile emitter combined with a D.O.R.K.S. to project a holographic form for use during missions. Unfortunately, the combination of technologies is unstable, so the form can only be maintained for short periods of time.
- The mobile emitter was a wholly self-contained holographic projector, generating the photons and force fields necessary to allow a hologram to physically interact with its environment. The emitter was either affixed to the exterior of the active holoprogram and thereby visible, or it could be covered or enveloped by the program, effectively hiding it from view. (VOY: "Renaissance Man") The exact power source of the emitter was never revealed, but it would appear to be capable of operating in most conditions without charging; during the alternate timeline of the Year of Hell, The Doctor was forced to rely on the emitter for the better part of a year after sickbay was destroyed in the first wave of the Krenim attacks, showing no sign that this was any kind of serious handicap to him and none of the crew expressing concern that the emitter's continued power supply might run down even as Voyager itself was left in increasingly battered condition by the Krenim attacks. (VOY: "Year of Hell", "Year of Hell, Part II") In another alternate timeline, the entire ship was frozen on an ice planet for fifteen years after a crash-landing killed all on board, but once Chakotay and Harry Kim found the ship, they were able to reactivate the Doctor's program in sickbay and transfer him to the mobile emitter with no sign that the program or the emitter had suffered from over a decade on the ice planet (VOY: "Timeless"). When the Doctor went on a solo away mission to a planet where time was moving at a rate of a day a second, he was essentially trapped on the planet for three years with only himself to rely on and the emitter apparently maintained his program perfectly well during that time, although this may have been due to the temporal anomalies of the planet meaning that the emitter was only operating for eighteen minutes from an outside perspective, or because the Doctor found a way to discreetly recharge it on the planet (VOY: "Blink of an Eye"). Although a durable piece of technology, the emitter could be disrupted by certain conditions; when Voyager spent a month passing through a nebula, prolonged exposure to the nebula's environment affected the emitter's ability to operate, and The Doctor's attempt to circumvent this issue by tying the emitter into the EPS manifold was only a temporary solution.
