SYSTEM AND MEDIA INTERFACE FOR MULTI-MEDIA PRODUCTION
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- displaying a context view of a live event on a screen;
correlating a view captured by a first camera to the context view in the screen, wherein the view captured by the first camera is visually demarcated as first sub-portion of the context view;
transmitting, based on received user input, a command to adjust the view captured by the first camera, thereby moving the first sub-portion corresponding to the view captured by the first camera to a different location within the context view;
correlating a view captured by a second camera to the context view, wherein the view captured by the second camera is a second sub-portion of the context view;
upon receiving a predefined user input, switching from visually demarcating the first sub-portion in the context view to visually demarcating the second sub-portion in the context view on the screen; and
outputting the first and second sub-portions to generate a media presentation of the live event.

Abstract
To generate a media presentation of a live event, a user interface is coupled to at least three cameras that share substantially the same vantage point. One of the cameras (e.g., a context camera) provides a context view of the event that is displayed on a screen of the user interface. The views of the other two cameras are superimposed onto the context view to define sub-portions that are visually demarcated within the context view. In one embodiment, only one of views is visually demarcated in the context view at any given time. Based on user interaction, the user interface can switch between the cameras views and control the cameras to capture different portions of the context view. Based the image data captured by the views of the cameras within the context view, the user interface generates a media presentation that may be broadcast to multiple viewers.

9. A computer program product for generating a media presentation, the computer program product comprising:
a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising computer-readable program code configured to; display a context view of a live event on a screen; correlate a view captured by a first camera to the context view in the screen, wherein the view captured by the first camera is visually demarcated as first sub-portion of the context view; transmit, based on received user input, a command to adjust the view captured by the first camera, thereby moving the first sub-portion corresponding to the view captured by the first camera to a different location within the context view; correlate a view captured by a second camera to the context view, wherein the view captured by the second camera is a second sub-portion of the context view; upon receiving a predefined user input, switch from visually demarcating the first sub-portion in the context view to visually demarcating the second sub-portion in the context view on the screen; and output the first and second sub-portions to generate the media presentation of the live event. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A user interface, comprising:
-
a connection interface configured to couple to a first controllable camera, a second controllable, and a context camera; a display screen; and a processing element configured to; receive and display a context view captured by the context camera of a live event on the display screen; correlate a view captured by the first camera to the context view in the screen, visually demarcate on the display screen the view captured by the first camera as first sub-portion of the context view; transmit, based on received user input, a command to first camera to adjust the view captured by the first camera, thereby moving the first sub-portion to a different location within the context view; correlate a view captured by a second camera to the context view, wherein the view captured by the second camera is a second sub-portion of the context view; upon receiving a predefined user input, switch from visually demarcating the first sub-portion in the context view to visually demarcating the second sub-portion in the context view on the display screen; and output the first and second sub-portions to generate a media presentation of the live event. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
