Publication number: 20170006397Abstract: An audio capture system for a sports camera includes at least one “enhanced” microphone and at least one “reference” microphone. The enhanced microphone includes a drainage enhancement feature to enable water to drain from the microphone more quickly than the reference microphone. A microphone selection controller selects between the microphones based on a microphone selection algorithm to enable high quality in conditions where the sports camera transitions in and out of water during activities such as surfing, water skiing, swimming, or other wet environments.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2016Publication date: January 5, 2017Inventors: Zhinian Jing, Erich Tisch, Ke Li, Joyce Rosenbaum, Magnus Hansson
