    ZH3VR - Overview

    Whether you're a game developer, filmmaker or musician, virtual reality is the undeniable future of content creation. While 360-video is exploding in popularity, the ability to easily create 360-audio has lagged behind, until now. The ZOOM H3-VR virtual reality audio recorder is the complete solution for capturing and processing spatial audio for VR, AR and mixed-reality content. With a built-in Ambisonic mic, recorder and decoder, the H3-VR puts 360-audio in the palm of your hand.

    In the past, capturing VR audio required a dedicated Ambisonic mic, a separate recorder and a computer for encoding the audio from raw Ambisonics A format to VR-ready Ambisonics B format. Now, with the H3-VR, all of the encoding and decoding is done on board, saving time, money and effort at every step. The H3-VR's compact, conical design captures audio from multiple angles without getting in the way of the camera or the action. Auto Mic Position and Level Detection make placing the H3-VR simple. Whether positioned upright, upside down, endfire or endfire inverted, the H3-VR automatically calibrates so your audio and video are already aligned for post.

    The slam of dungeon doors, growl of monsters or howl of the wind can make or break a player's fantasy. With the ability to capture high-quality in-game audio, you can elevate your player's experience to new levels. Monitor your audio live in stereo binaural or use the H3-VR's onboard Ambisonics Decoding to simulate your recorded 360-experience during playback. Perfect for live streaming, video conferencing, direct recording and more, the H3-VR's audio interface mode turns it into a USB 360 mic for your computer or stereo mic for your iOS device.

    Staying out of the shot can be tricky when recording a 360-degree video, which is why the H3-VR Control App lets you remotely access transport controls, level settings, and metadata notes right from your iOS device. The H3-VR's companion ZOOM Ambisonics Player software takes the work out of post-production by easily converting your Ambisonics files to Stereo, Binaural, 5.1ch surround and more. Play, trim, re-orientate and export your audio files in minutes.
