Microphone Activity Indicator

Release Version(s)Controller (5.4)Launch DateOctober 8th, 2021

Product description

When video recording, a microphone activity icon will now display next to the recording timer. This icon will change dynamically to represent the intensity of the input and will only show if a mic is connected and enabled.

Problems solved

Some of our customers like to capture commentary while performing an inspection, however in the past if their microphone stopped working they'd have no way of knowing. This led to recording entire missions where users  thought their audio was being picked up, only to find afterwards that this is not the case. To remedy this frustration we've added the activity indicator so customers can use it to ensure their audio is working for recordings.
