A system, such as a video conferencing system, is provided which includes an image pickup device, an audio pickup device, and an audio source locator. The image pickup device generates image signals representative of an image, while the audio pickup device generates audio signals representative of sound from an audio source, such as speaking person. The audio source locator processes the image signals and audio signals to determine a direction of the audio source relative to a reference point. The system can further determine a location of the audio source relative to the reference point. The reference point can be a camera. The system can use the direction or location information to frame a proper camera shot which would include the audio source.
