ABSTRACT:
Video conferencing, wherein the outputs of a plurality of television cameras at one location are transmitted to a second location so that parties at the first location are perceived as present by parties at the second location, has received some attention directed toward bandwidth reduction. The subject invention relates to an improved video conferencing system for reducing bandwidth by advantageously applying temporal resolution and spatial reduction to a video picture provided by each camera. The temporal resolution of a picture from one or more of the cameras can be automatically adapted to a control signal, for example, to a speech level control signal so as to advantageously interleave and to give priority to a picture from one camera over a picture from other television cameras. The spatial reduction of each picture obtains by transmitting and displaying less than the total picture, illustratively the middle two-thirds of the picture from each camera.
