  • DeviceName = Microphone Array (Creative Senz3D VF0780) - name of the recording device used by the FFmpeg.
  • AutoSelectDevice = True or False - if another video recording device should be used, if the device with DeviceName is not found. Default is True.
  • Extension - output file format, default is mp3.
• Session configuration:
  • Bitrate : int (optional) - bitrate of the audio recording in kbps. If not specified, default value is 256.
