Abstract

Methods for audio input at video recording comprising capturing a video sequence by a first apparatus; receiving by the first apparatus a audio sequence from a second apparatus captured simultaneously by the second apparatus; and compiling the video sequence and the received audio sequence, and comprising capturing an audio sequence by a second apparatus; transmitting the audio sequence from the second apparatus to a first apparatus having simultaneously captured a video sequence such that the video sequence and the audio sequence are compilable in the first apparatus, respectively, are disclosed. Apparatuses, system and computer programs for performing the methods are also disclosed.

Claims

1. A method for audio input at video recording comprising

capturing a video sequence by a first apparatus;

receiving by the first apparatus a audio sequence from a second apparatus captured simultaneously by the second apparatus; and

compiling the video sequence and the received audio sequence.

2. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

sending a request from the first apparatus to the second apparatus to capture audio sequence.

3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving of the audio sequence comprises receiving an audio stream of the audio sequence.

4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the receiving of the audio sequence comprises receiving the audio sequence as a file.

5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the audio sequence comprises a time stamp for enabling compiling of the video sequence and the audio sequence.

6. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

receiving by the first apparatus a third audio sequence from a third apparatus captured simultaneously by the third apparatus;

and

compiling also the third audio sequence with the video sequence.

7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the compiling comprises mixing the audio sequences such that each audio sequence is given a mutually relative signal level in an aggregate audio sequence.

8. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

capturing by the first apparatus simultaneously a first audio;

and

compiling also the first audio sequence with the video sequence.

9. The method according to claim 8, wherein the compiling comprises mixing the audio sequences such that each audio sequence is given a mutually relative signal level in an aggregate audio sequence.

10. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

establishing an audio channel between the second apparatus and the first apparatus.

11. The method according to claim 1, further comprising

receiving by the first apparatus a video sequence from the second apparatus captured at least partly simultaneously by the second apparatus;

and

compiling also the video sequence and the received video sequence.

12. A method for audio input at video recording comprising

capturing an audio sequence by a second apparatus;

transmitting the audio sequence from the second apparatus to a first apparatus having simultaneously captured a video sequence such that the video sequence and the audio sequence are compilable in the first apparatus.

13. The method according to claim 12, further comprising

receiving a request from the first apparatus to the second apparatus to capture audio sequence.

14. The method according to claim 12, wherein the transmitting of the audio sequence comprises transmitting an audio stream of the audio sequence.

15. The method according to claim 12, wherein the transmitting of the audio sequence comprises transmitting the audio sequence as a file.

16. The method according to claim 12, further comprising assigning time stamps in the audio sequence comprises for enabling compiling of the video sequence and the audio sequence.

17. The method according to claim 12, further comprising

establishing an audio channel between the second apparatus and the first apparatus.

18. The method according to claim 12, further comprising
