Abstract

A live video distribution system has an on-the-spot system including a video signal generating means for generating video signals of a plurality of systems having different display ranges and a communicating means, and a plurality of terminal apparatuses each including a video display means, a display range setting signal generating means, and a communicating means. The systems of the video signals and the terminal apparatuses are associated with each other, the on-the-spot system has a function to determine the display ranges of the video signals of the respective systems on the basis of display range setting signals generated by the terminal apparatuses associated with the respective systems, and a function to send the video signals. Each of the terminal apparatuses can send the display range setting signal, can receive the video signal of the system associated with the terminal apparatus itself, and can display a video image based on the video signal.

Dependent claims

A method of transmitting live video signals to a plurality of terminal apparatuses located at remote locations via a public network simultaneously, the method comprising:

receiving a respective one of control signals sent from a respective one of the plurality of terminal apparatuses located at remote locations;
generating live video signals of a plurality of systems based on images captured by a plurality of cameras;
and
transmitting a respective one of the live video signals of the plurality of systems to the respective one of the plurality of terminal apparatuses which sent the respective one of the control signals via a public network simultaneously,
wherein each of the plurality of cameras is mounted, respectively, on slave apparatuses which move in the air, under the sea, or in cosmic space independently of each other;
each of the slave apparatuses is associated with a respective one of the plurality of terminal apparatuses;
and
each of the slave apparatuses is controlled based on the control signal sent from the associated terminal apparatus.
