1. A method for processing video signals, comprising the steps of:
- (a) transmitting a first capture signal from a video processing system to a video camera;
(b) receiving a first video frame from the video camera by the video processing system in response to the first capture signal;
(c) processing the first video frame with the video processing system; and
(d) transmitting a second capture signal to the video camera at a time during the processing of the first video frame to request a second video frame.

Abstract
A method and video processing system for receiving and processing consecutive sets of video signals from a video camera. A first capture signal is transmitted to the video camera. A first set of one or more video frames is received from the video camera in response to the first capture signal. The first set of one or more video frames is processed by the video processing system.

6. A method for processing video signals, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) transmitting a first capture signal from a video processing system to a video camera, wherein the first capture signal specifies a first frame capture rate for the video camera; (b) capturing with the video camera a first plurality of video frames at the first frame capture rate in response to the first capture signal; (c) receiving the first plurality of video frames from the video camera by the video processing system; (d) processing the first plurality of video frames with the video processing system; and (e) transmitting a second capture signal to the video camera to request a second plurality of video frames, wherein the second capture signal specifies a second frame capture rate based on the status of the processing of the first plurality of video frames. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8)
