Peer to peer audio video device communication

An audio video device comprising:

• detectors for detecting orientation and position of the audio video device and for detecting a distance between the audio video device and a subject targeted by the audio video device;
• a network identifier for locating networkable audio video devices for communication across a network, wherein the network is a peer-to-peer network, wherein the network identifier functions in response to a picture button on the audio video device being partially depressed, and wherein the audio video device is configured to set the audio video device as a master audio video device in response to the picture button being partially depressed;
• a network database for receiving subject data for real time video of the subject from one or more of the networkable audio video devices, wherein subject data comprises, for respective networkable audio video devices, a respective position of the subject, a respective networkable audio video device position based on input from a global positioning system (GPS) unit attached to the respective networkable audio video device, a respective networkable audio video device orientation based on input from a three-dimensional gyroscope compass coupled to the respective networkable audio video device, and a respective range between a respective networkable audio video device and the subject;
• a primary subject audio video device identifier for determining from the subject data which networkable audio video devices are targeted on the subject;
• an audio option engine for determining one or more networkable audio video devices for use in a video, wherein the audio option engine is for determining microphone setting options for the networkable audio video devices;
• wherein the audio video device receives audio video device capability data from the networkable audio video devices, wherein the audio video device determines a range of audio video camera conditions from the networkable audio video devices, wherein the audio video device determines a range of audio and video settings most suitable for the range of audio video camera conditions and communicates those settings to the networkable audio video devices, wherein audio and video settings are optimized according to individual audio video device capabilities;
• a video condition range finder for determining a range of audio video conditions from the networkable audio video devices, wherein the range of audio video conditions for each networkable audio video device comprises a respective amount of background noise from the subject and a respective amount of foreground noise from the subject;
• and
• an audio synchronization engine for synchronizing the audio video device and the networkable audio video devices for recording audio when one or more of the audio video devices are recording a video of the subject.
