Remote cinematography viewing device
First Claim
1. A remote video monitoring and control system for use in cinematography using a remote camera capable of transmitting video signals and receiving control signals, the system comprising the following:
- A. an ergonometrically balanced display device capable of displaying video images from the remote camera, the display device being of sufficient size and resolution to display images useful in cinematography;
B. a handgrip secured to the display device;
C. a stand arrangement secured to the ergonometrically balanced display device, the stand arrangement being adapted and constructed to render the remote video monitoring and control system freestanding on generally planar surfaces;
D. a power source secured to the base;
E. a video signal receiving mechanism operatively connected to the display device, said video signal receiving mechanism being adapted and constructed to receive video signals from the remote camera;
F. a camera control arrangement secured to the display device, the camera control arrangement being adapted and constructed to generate camera control signals from an operator of the camera control arrangement, said control signals being selected from a group consisting essentially of camera aperture and zoom; and
G. a camera control signal transmitting mechanism operatively associated with the camera control arrangement, the camera control signal transmitting mechanism being adapted and constructed to transmit camera control signals from the camera control arrangement to the remote camera.

Abstract
A remote video monitoring and control system for use in cinematography includes an ergonometrically balanced display device of sufficient size and resolution to display images useful in cinematography. A handgrip base is secured to the display device, and a power source is secured to the base. A video signal receiving mechanism is operatively connected to the display device, and receives video signals from a remote camera. A camera control arrangement is operatively connected to the display device to generate camera control signals from an operator of the camera control arrangement. A camera control signal transmitting mechanism transmits camera control signals from the camera control arrangement to the remote camera.

18. A remote video monitoring and control system for use in cinematography, the system comprising the following:
-
A. an ergonometrically balanced display device of sufficient size and resolution to display images useful in cinematography; B. a handgrip secured to the display device; C. a stand arrangement secured to the ergonometrically balanced display device, the stand arrangement being adapted and constructed to render the remote video monitoring and control system freestanding on generally planar surfaces; D. a power source connected to the display device; and E. a camera control arrangement operatively connected to the power source; Whereby an operator of the remote video monitoring and control system uses the camera control mechanism to change operational aspects of the remote camera based on images received from the remote camera and displayed on the display device. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21)
