ABSTRACT:
An automated system for compensating the pan and tilt of a camera head for the movements of a camera support structure and/or a subject matter. A processing system receives signals relating to the movement of the camera support structure, such as the swing, boom and telescope of the crane arm, the movements of a dolly, and preferably the movements of a subject matter. The system employs these inputs to determine the position of the camera and subject matter in a defined world coordinate system and sends signals to compensate the pan and tilt of the camera head so that the field of view of the camera is generally centered on the subject matter being filmed as defined within the system.
