The Stereo audio system (StereoSound™ performed well with the camera in wide angle (zoomed out) to include a group of conference participants. The stereo audio then helped to identify the position of the participant speaking in the group. In close- up however the stereo image did not alter so that the picture showed a close up view of the presenter but the accompanying sound still matched the wide angle shot. In other words, the video image showed the speaker ‘centre stage’ while the stereo audio ‘image’ remained with the speaker off to the right or left. This disconnection of the video picture and the stereo audio ‘image’ could be distracting.
