DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a video transmitted to a viewer in a television broadcast, the video being transmitted to the viewer by a plurality of cameras at an event such as a baseball broadcast. This is a system in which a viewer can freely select any of a plurality of transmitted videos.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For television broadcasting, images taken by a plurality of cameras for one event are selected and transmitted independently of the viewer's will before being transmitted to the viewer. At present, the same video is transmitted to the entire viewer after the completion of the operation. For example, assuming that the cameras are arranged at the first base, the third base, the back net back, the left seat, the center seat, the right seat, etc. in a baseball broadcast,
For example, a viewer cannot arbitrarily select a video from a direction that he / she wants to view.

[0003]

According to the conventional method, a television broadcasting organization / a television broadcasting-related organization uses a plurality of cameras and other devices to capture an image taken by an unspecified number of viewers. The problem is that the user cannot freely select the video from the direction he / she wants to view and cannot freely select the video.

[0004]

A television broadcasting organization / television broadcasting related organization prepares a storage medium in advance,
A plurality of videos from one event are transmitted to a prepared storage medium, and an unspecified number of users who are viewers are allowed to access the storage medium, and a video to be arbitrarily viewed from among a plurality of videos is provided. Build a system to select and display.

[0005]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A storage medium is set in the middle by changing a conventional method in which a plurality of images in one event are transmitted as one-way images to an unspecified number of users who are viewers. This allows the viewer to freely and freely obtain any video.

[0006]

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 1 shows an event venue where events are held, such as a baseball field, a soccer field, and an indoor concert venue. Represents the field of the event itself held in the event venue. Represents a camera group that complements an event / around the event. Represents a storage medium for relaying an image transmitted from the camera group. Is a device capable of selecting and displaying an arbitrary image from a storage medium representing equipment having a display function.

[0007]

According to the present invention, the user can arbitrarily select a desired video by himself / herself simply by installing a plurality of cameras at a place where an event is held, and also enables a camera operator and video processing to be performed. This has the effect of reducing the number of processors to be implemented or of unmanning. In addition, if the density of the plurality of cameras installed is increased, the user can view the image as if he or she is moving laterally on the display screen, rather than as if selecting the image. In addition, by having functions such as enlargement and reduction, it is possible to possess a further three-dimensional effect and to repeatedly view an image on a storage medium.
