Abstract

The presented invention relates to a device and method for controlling the operation of one or more cameras associated with a video conference endpoint in a video conference call. A camera control unit (remote control) according to the present invention is a touch enabled end user component that presents to the user graphical objects representing video conference endpoints currently connected in a conference call, and / or one or more live video feeds currently captured by the video conference endpoint's cameras, and allows the user to manipulate a camera's pan, tilt and zoom using a touch screen display embedded in said camera control unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a touch screen control system for a video conferencing system, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for controlling a video camera of a video conferencing system. Background technique [0002] A conventional videoconferencing system includes several endpoints that transmit real-time video, audio and / or data (commonly referred to as two-way video) streams over and between various networks, such as WANs, LANs, and circuit-switched networks. [0003] In most high-end video conferencing systems, high-quality cameras with pan, tilt and zoom capabilities are used to capture the view of the meeting room and the participants in the meeting. Cameras typically have a wide field of view (FOV) and high mechanical zoom capability. This allows both a good overview of the room and the possibility to capture close-up images of the participants. The video stream from the camera is compressed and sent to one or more receivin...
