A method of providing edited media content is described. The method comprises: generating captured content and a representation of the captured content, the representation of the captured content having a smaller size than the captured content; providing the captured content over a first network path across a network and the representation of the captured content over a second network path across the network, the first network path having a higher latency than the second network path; generating an edited version of the received representation of the captured content; and providing an edited version of the captured content, the editing of the captured content being based on the editing of the representation of the captured content.

A system on a chip (SoC) implementing dynamic grouping of multiple cameras in an image processing system is disclosed. The SoC includes an image signal processor (ISP) configured to receive a signal corresponding to an image from two or more cameras, dynamically group the cameras into groups based on a measured view brightness and/or color temperature observed by each of the cameras, and assign cameras with a group of the groups to a same exposure/gain setting. The SoC further includes a statistics engine configured to receive the image signals and statistics related to the image signals from the ISP and determine a measurement of image brightness and/or color temperature of each image based on the image signals for forwarding to the ISP.

An imaging apparatus acquires an image capturing instruction, performs an image capturing processing in a case where a position of an eye of a user is a first condition upon acquiring the image capturing instruction, and requests a second imaging apparatus, which is different from the imaging apparatus, to perform the image capturing processing in a case where the position of the eye of the user is a second condition upon acquiring the image capturing instruction.

A system and method is provided for minimizing delay time for controlling media content capture during live video broadcast production. The system includes a video production receiver that receives media content streams from one or more cameras that includes live media content captured by the cameras and encoded in a first encoding format. Moreover, a multi-view interface displays the media content and a video production controller generates control instructions based on inputs to the interface to change operation of the cameras capturing the respective media content. A camera controller is included that transmits the generated control instructions to the cameras to change the operation for capturing the respective media content. Moreover, the video production controls production of a live video stream for video broadcast production using media content that is captured from the cameras and that is encoded in a second encoding format different than the first encoding format.
