How does the Osmo Pocket 4's spatial audio work, and what distinguishes it from a traditional stereo recording?
Spatial audio simulates a real-world listening environment, providing an immersive experience when wearing headphones. It distinguishes sound sources by their varying distances and directions, resulting in a richer soundstage, more precise localization, and a deeper sense of immersion. In contrast, stereo sound is primarily limited to left-right imaging, which offers less spatial depth and positioning accuracy.
How does the Osmo Pocket 4's built-in microphone audio backup feature function?
The Osmo Pocket 4 allows you to record audio using two transmitters simultaneously. Whenever you have at least one DJI Mic transmitter connected, your video files will automatically include two audio tracks comprising a total of four channels:
Audio Track 1 (Transmitter Audio):
With one DJI Mic transmitter connected: Both the Left and Right channels capture identical audio from that transmitter.
With two DJI Mic transmitters connected: The Left and Right channels capture audio from the respective transmitters independently (e.g., the Left channel records DJI Mic Transmitter 1, while the Right channel records DJI Mic Transmitter 2).
Audio Track 2 (Built-in Stereo):
This track captures the Left and Right channels from the camera’s internal microphone array. It is synchronized with the video file and is generally used to record ambient sound.
When no DJI Mic transmitter is connected, the video defaults to playing the audio from the camera's built-in microphones. If a DJI Mic transmitter is connected, playback will default to the audio captured by the transmitter.
