Abstract

A system for using actuators to position an image sensor and/or lens based on position data of the image sensor and/or lens sensed by position sensors includes a primary camera controller device comprising sensor inputs that receive first sensor data from the position sensors and control outputs that drive first control data to the actuators, at least one secondary camera controller device comprising sensor inputs that receive second sensor data from the position sensors and control outputs that drive second control data to the actuators, and at least one communication link connecting the primary camera controller device and the at least one secondary camera controller device. The secondary camera controller device sends the second sensor data to the primary camera controller device via the communication link. The primary camera controller device processes the first and second sensor data to generate the first control data.
