convex hull of pairs of matrices

Is there a simple description of the the convex hull of all the pairs of $n$ by $n$ matrices $(A,B)$ such that $$AA^t+BB^t=A^tA+B^tB=I$$ This is a convex set in dimension $2n^2$, and I am hoping for a simple characterization of the pairs of matrices that belong to it.
