First Claim
1. An audio video system comprising:
- a video production studio generating a video signal;
a studio receiving said video signal from said production studio for broadcast propagation and, generating voice control messages for coupling to said video production studio; and
,a remote control panel coupled via a network to control equipment within said video production studio and to control said voice control messages received by said video production studio from said studio receiving.

Abstract
An audio video system comprises a video production studio generating a video signal. A studio receives the video signal from the production studio for broadcast propagation, and the receiving studio generates voice control messages for coupling to the video production studio. A remote control panel is coupled via a network to control equipment within the video production studio and to control the voice control messages received by the video production studio from the receiving studio. The video production studio, the studio receiving and the remote control panel each have different geographic locations. The remote control panel is a graphic user interface displayed on a personal computer and generated responsive to an applet received from the equipment within the video production studio.

16. 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. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

28. 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. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30)

35. 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. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38)

39. 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. - View Dependent Claims (40)
