System for personalized field of view in a broadcast environment

摘要

A video processing personalization system or server (VPPS) coupled to at least one source of video 17-19 and audio content and to at least one end user unit for providing a personalized perspective of a broadcast event. The VPPS includes a receiver for receiving composite video signals representing more than one than one perspective of the broadcast program. An input 350 receives signals representing a selection of at least one perspective of the broadcast program; and a transmitter presents the selected perspective or perspectives to an end user. The VPPS can be implemented at various points along the distribution route from the source to the user (viewer). As shown, video inputs 17-19 from three cameras are used to provide a composite image in store 200. According to the camera location/angle/zoom setting selected by the end user, a UPP 320-325 provides the derived image from the composite image in store 200.
