Computerize Control for High Definition Camera

Abstract

Abstract In recent years television channels witnessed a rapid development to become the fourth power. The transmitted image quality became the greatest concern to these channels, which prompted the presence of cameras control unit which concerns about image quality by adjusting the photo coefficients like zooming, focus, color adjustment, this is done by the director instead of the camera operator.

The existence of cameras control unit leads to a significant improvement in image quality, but it is expensive, also it needs a screen to monitor the form of the image as well as the complexity of the design.

In this project a control system for the cameras has been proposed through the computer by simulating the control circuit through interface and by using of the computer screen at the same time to monitor the image.

The proposed circuit is designed and operated using C + +, but due to the difficulty of affording television cameras the circuit has been tested on a web camera, the tests showed that the circuit is simple and it reduces the cost dramatically to more than 80%
