Zoom H3-VR

Zooms H3-VR is a comprehensive solution for recording and processing 360° audio material for VR, AR and mixed reality content in a compact and portable device. Equipped with an Ambisonics microphone with 4 capsules and the integrated A/B decoder, the H3VR records four channels, which are automatically converted for use in 360° audio applications. While processing steps could always be done with extensive hardware rigs and special software solutions up to now, this is now quite simply possible with the Zoon H3 VR Handy Recorder.

In addition to the special capsule arrangement, the device also stands out due to its compact, conical design. Audio material can be recorded in different ways without affecting the recording field of a video camera. After recording, the spatial display can be specifically adjusted with the help of the internal Ambisonics playback features. The hyper-realistic, spatial audio recordings are particularly suitable for filmmakers, video artists and musicians looking for a VR-typical depth. Last but not least, the integrated motion sensor with six axes for the Auto Mic Position and Level Detection functions should also be mentioned. It does not matter how the recorder is positioned from scene to scene - the alignment between the 360° video and audio alignment is maintained at all times.
