Abstract
A camera controller for providing a camera control signal for commanding movement of a camera, the camera controller comprising: an input device, the input device being capable of sensing input position over a range of motion; and an electronic circuit for receiving sensed input position from the input device and forming the camera control signal, the circuit being arranged to form the camera control signal according to one of a plurality of control laws and to select independence on the sensed input position the control law to be used.
Claims8
A camera controller for providing a camera control signal for commanding movement of a camera, the camera controller comprising:
- an input device comprising a housing, the input device being configured to sense a position and/or angle of a user input element which is movable relative to the housing to form a sensed input position;
- and
- an electronic circuit configured to receive the sensed input position from the input device and form the camera control signal, the electronic circuit being arranged to form the camera control signal according to one of a plurality of control laws and to select in dependence on the sensed input position the control law to be used, the plurality of control laws comprising a positional control law and a velocity control law, wherein the positional control law forms a camera control signal which commands the camera to move by an amount proportional to an amount moved by the user input element and the velocity control law forms a camera control signal which commands the camera to move with a velocity proportional to a rate of movement of the user input element.
