Estimating the term…
A system is suggested that allows for transmitting a signal from at least one first camera to a second camera, upon activation by the camera operator of the respective first camera. The signal is displayed in the viewfinder of the second camera. The signal may include an indication that the operator of the at least one first camera has a ‘good-shot’, i.e. is currently capturing images that are ready for broadcasting and/or recording. In one embodiment the signal includes an identification of the camera that transmits the signal. In another embodiment the signal includes the video signal captured from the transmitting camera. In yet another embodiment the second camera displays images coming from multiple first cameras.
A system for recording or broadcasting video signals, wherein the system includes at least two video cameras that can be moved independently from each other, wherein each of the at least two video cameras has a viewfinder, wherein each of the at least two cameras is provided with means for selectively transmitting a signal to a respective other camera of the system, wherein the respective other camera is adapted to receive and indicate the signal in its viewfinder.
A camera for use in the system of claim I one of the preceding claims having means for transmitting a signal, wherein the camera has means for selectively receiving signals from at least one other camera of the system, and that the camera is adapted to selectively display in its viewfinder signals coming from the at least one other camera.
