Abstract

Provided is a system for remotely controlling a broadcasting system not only in a broadcasting room but also outside the broadcasting room. A program of controlling the broadcasting system is installed in a PDA. Signals input to the PDA by a user are transmitted using Bluetooth (or wireless LAN, infrared port or the like) that is a transmission medium. A signal converter of a 232C (or 1394, USB or the like) distributor receives the transmitted signals. A microprocessor transmits the signals output from the signal converter to controllers to control the broadcasting system. Accordingly, broadcasting apparatuses can be remotely controlled outside the broadcasting room.

Claims

1. A system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA comprising:

a PDA in which a program of controlling a broadcasting system is installed;

a wireless transmitter for wirelessly transmitting control signals according to the execution of the program installed in the PDA; and

a distributor for receiving the control signals from the wireless transmitter to control the broadcasting apparatus,

whereby the broadcasting apparatuses are controlled by the control signals output from the distributor.

2. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 1, wherein the distributor is selected by at least what one among 232c, 1394, USB.

8. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 2, wherein the fantilt controller controls a fantilting operation of moving an image of a camera in horizontal and vertical directions and zooming and focusing operations.

3. A system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA, wherein control signals of a PDA in which a program of controlling a broadcasting system is installed are transmitted wirelessly, a signal converter of a 232C distributor receives the control signals, the control signals received by the 232C distributor are input to a signal processing circuit that determines priority of the control signals, the signals input to the signal processing circuit are transmitted to a micro-controller for performing a control command, the priority of the control signals is processed by the control command of the micro-controller and input to RS232C drivers to control a main controller, a power controller, a speaker controller, a remote controller and fantilt controller.

4. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 3, wherein the main controller carries out a function of turning on/off an output port, a function of selecting an input source (A/V MATRIX function), a function of controlling a volume and an audio mixer function.

5. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 3, wherein the power controller controls power of apparatuses of the broadcasting room, system power, and power of an electromotive background screen.

6. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 3, wherein the speaker controller turns on/off an individual speaker, a group of speaker or all of speakers of a corresponding channel.

7. The system for remotely controlling a broadcasting apparatus using a PDA as claimed in claim 3, wherein the remote controller controls an A/V apparatus.
