Remote studio management and control

A method for obtaining control of an audio video studio comprising:

• a) contacting to a network server and booking an audio video studio;
• b) receiving an interne protocol address and key for said audio video studio;
• c) contacting said audio video studio and receiving an applet defining a graphic user interface;
• and,
• d) controlling said audio video studio with said graphic user interface.

A method for control, comprising:

• forming a graphic user interface having graphical representations of control commands for equipment forming an audio video studio;
• presenting said graphical representations in groups, wherein said groups include at least one of;
• a first group representing a video camera control unit,
• a second group representing controls for audio processing equipment
• a third group representing interruptible feedback controls
• manipulating one of said graphical representations and forming a control command signal for said equipment represented by said one of said graphical representations;
• transmitting said control command signal to said audio video studio;
• and,
• asserting said control command signal to control said equipment represented by said one of said graphical representations.

A remotely controlled audio video studio comprising:

• a video camera;
• an audio processing equipment;
• and,
• an audio communication processing equipment;
• wherein said video camera, said audio processing equipment and said audio communication processing equipment are coupled for control by digital signals formed by a central processing unit in response to signals received by a via a web server.

An audio video studio comprising:

• a camera,
• microphone audio equipment, and,
• digital equipment coupled to receive a video image signal from said camera and an audio signal from said microphone audio equipment for combining to form a first signal for transmission and a second signal for monitoring;
• and,
• said video image signal and said audio signal exhibit a timing difference therebetween, wherein said digital equipment receiving said audio signal being controlled responsive to a digital control signal such that said audio signal is one of advanced and retarded in time relative to said video signal.

An audio video studio comprising:

• a camera;
• microphone audio equipment;
• audio communications equipment;
• digital equipment coupled to receive a video signal from said camera and a first signal from said microphone audio equipment and a second signal from said audio communications equipment;
• and,
• said digital equipment being controlled responsive to a digital signal received from a network interface such that said first and second signals controllably form a single signal for coupling via said network interface to a monitoring location.

A method for studio control, comprising:

• forming a graphic user interface for controllably processing an interruptible feedback signal within said studio;
• displaying a graphical representation of a button for muting said interruptible feedback signal within said studio;
• generating a control command responsive to manipulating said graphical representation of said muting button;
• coupling said control command signal to said studio;
• and,
• muting said interruptible feedback signal by controlling said processing with said control command.

A method for video camera control, comprising:

• receiving a control command and placing in a queue;
• removing from said queue a prior duplicate of said control command;
• asserting said control command in said video camera if execution is not conflicted;
• rejecting said control command and replacing in said queue if execution is conflicted;
• counting said rejection and reasserting said control command in said video camera until execution is not conflicted;
• removing said control command from said queue responsive to a predetermined value of said counting;
• generating a control value responsive to assertion of said control command;
• and,
• communicating said control value for display.
