ABSTRACT:
A voice activated camera preset selection system (15) is provided. The system includes a preset storage unit (17) operable to store a plurality of camera presets (21). Each camera preset (21) defines a camera preset location and camera preset data. A preset selector (16) is coupled to the preset storage unit (17). The preset selector (16) is operable to receive position data representing a speaker location based upon the voice of the speaker. The preset selector (16) is also operable to select a camera preset (21) from the plurality of stored camera presets (21) by determining a camera preset (21) that defines a camera preset location that is proximate the speaker location. The preset selector (16) is further operable to provide camera preset data defined by the selected camera preset (21) to a camera controller (18) such that a camera (19) can be automatically moved to view the camera preset location defined by the selected camera preset (21).
