Abstract
A method for assigning video signals includes receiving a plurality of video signals from a plurality of cameras located at one or more remote sites, the plurality of video signals for display on a plurality of monitors at a local site. The method includes determining an optimal monitor for displaying a first video signal associated with a first camera based on the location and alignment of the first camera in relation to one or more of the plurality of cameras. The method includes calculating a respective difference between a number of video signals assigned to the optimal monitor and a respective number of video signals assigned to each respective monitor of the plurality of monitors. The method further includes assigning the first video signal to the optimal monitor if the respective difference is not greater than a threshold value with respect to each of the plurality of monitors.

20. A computer-implemented method for assigning video signals, comprising:
-
receiving, at an interface, a plurality of video signals from a plurality of cameras located at one or more remote sites, the plurality of video signals for display on a plurality of monitors at a local site; determining, at one or more processors, a first position for displaying on one of the plurality of monitors a first video signal relative to one or more other video signals of the plurality of video signals; wherein the first video signal is associated with a first camera of the plurality of cameras; wherein the one or more other video signals are associated with one or more other cameras of the plurality of cameras; wherein the first position is determined based on; the location and alignment of the first camera relative to the one or more other cameras; and a number of the plurality of video signals relative to a number of the plurality of monitors; and displaying the first video signal at the first position on one of the plurality of monitors. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
