Solution Overview

Problem

In video shooting scenarios, especially where the audio signal source is far from the camera device, the built-in microphone's poor performance and noise interference from camera components compromise the quality of the acquired audio signal, making it difficult to achieve synchronized and high-quality audio and video transmission.

Innovation Solution

An audio and video transmission system that includes a wireless microphone transmitting device connected to an external wireless microphone and an audio and video transmission device, which receives the audio signal, synchronizes it with the video signal, and transmits a mixed audio and video signal to a video receiving end, allowing for improved audio signal quality and simultaneous transmission of both signals over a wireless channel.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a built-in microphone is used in the camera device, then the device structure is simple, but the audio signal quality deteriorates when the distance between the audio source and camera is far

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedevice structureVSAvoidaudio signal quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the audio acquisition function from the video acquisition device. An external wireless microphone is used to acquire audio signals separately, then the audio signal is transmitted to the video acquisition device for mixing with the video signal. This segmentation allows the audio acquisition to be optimized independently from the camera structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If the wireless microphone is directly connected to the video acquisition device, then the audio signal quality is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaudio signal qualityVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The video acquisition device performs multiple functions: it acquires video signals, receives and processes audio signals from the wireless microphone, synchronizes audio and video signals, and outputs the mixed audio-video signal. By making the video acquisition device multi-functional, the system avoids adding separate dedicated audio processing equipment, thus controlling complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Ease of operation

If the audio signal is transmitted wirelessly to the video acquisition device, then the installation flexibility is improved, but the transmission reliability may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinstallation flexibilityVSAvoidtransmission reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The video acquisition device acts as an intermediary that receives the wireless audio signal, synchronizes it with the video signal, and outputs the combined signal. This intermediary approach allows the system to benefit from wireless installation flexibility while maintaining reliability through proper signal synchronization and processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
