1. A video camera system comprising:
- a mobile video camera, comprising;
means of acquiring images, andmeans of radio transmission of the acquired images;
a base station comprising;
means of radio reception for receiving the acquired images; and
decoding means for decoding the images and for using redundant image information to correct errors;
evaluation means for evaluating the quality of image transmission between the camera and the base station, wherein the evaluation means measures a gain required for correct reception of the images a number of errors corrected by the decoding means and a modulation error ratio corresponding to an average of discrepancies between symbols received and transmission symbols, to determine a quality of transmission; and
display means for displaying information relating to the quality of transmission.

13. A base station for at least one video camera comprising:
-
means of radio reception for receiving images acquired by said at least one video camera, gain means for providing gain to the received images, decoding means for decoding the images and for using redundant image information to correct errors, and evaluation means for evaluating a quality of reception of the images originating from said at least one camera, wherein the evaluation means measures a gain required for correct reception of the images, a number of errors corrected by the decoding means, and a modulation error ratio corresponding to an average of discrepancies between symbols received and transmission symbols, to determine the quality of image reception. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
