Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are described for recognizing and focusing on at least one source of an audio communication as part of a communication including a video image and an audio communication derived from two or more microphones when a relative position between the microphones is known. In certain embodiments, linked audio and video focus areas providing location information for one or more sound sources may each be associated with different user inputs, and an input to adjust a focus in either the audio or video domain may automatically adjust the focus in the another domain.
