Audio recording mode#
Camera2 offers to possibility to record audio while recording a video.
A configuration parameter is provided to enable or disable audio recording and to select which audio source to use: drone, controller or both.
Camera 1#
This feature is not available on Camera1.
Camera 2#
Sample code to monitor audio recording mode:
/// Keep reference on MainCamera2 peripheral to get notified of changes.
private var cameraRef: Ref<MainCamera2>?
/// Monitors and prints audio recording mode.
func monitorAudioRecordingMode(drone: Drone) {
cameraRef = drone.getPeripheral(Peripherals.mainCamera2) { camera in
// called on main thread when the camera peripheral changes
if let camera = camera {
// get configuration parameter
if let configParam = camera.config[Camera2Params.audioRecordingMode] {
if configParam.currentSupportedValues.isEmpty {
// parameter value is not relevant
// if there is not supported values in current configuration
print("No supported value in current configuration")
} else {
// get parameter value
let mode = configParam.value
print("Current value is: \(mode)")
}
}
}
}
}
Example of output:
Current value is: mixDroneController
Sample code to modify audio recording mode:
/// Sets audio recording mode.
func setAudioRecordingMode(drone: Drone, mode: Camera2AudioRecordingMode) {
if let camera = drone.getPeripheral(Peripherals.mainCamera2) {
// create configuration editor, starting from current configuration
let editor = camera.config.edit(fromScratch: false)
// retrieve configuration parameter
if let configParam = editor[Camera2Params.audioRecordingMode] {
// change parameter value,
// and unset other parameters conflicting with this new value
configParam.value = mode
// complete configuration, by setting missing parameters values
editor.autoComplete()
// send new configuration to drone
editor.commit()
}
}
}
Trying to change the parameter value to an unsupported value has no effect.
Values supported by the camera are provided by the parameter field configParam.overallSupportedValues
