Abstract
A camera assembly is provided having a rotary camera and a fixed camera for outputting an image signal. A switching unit receives the image signal from the rotary and fixed cameras and switches between them. The rotary camera rotates on a rotary stand drive. A control unit receives an operation signal and a speaker position signal from an operation panel and a speaker detection unit, respectively. The control unit outputs drive signal and/or switch signal based on the operation signal and/or speaker position signal to control a compression rate. An image coding unit codes the image signal from the control unit and the switching unit. The image coding unit determines a fixed compression rate so as to place primary importance on a movement of the image until the image coding unit receives an operation completion signal from the control unit after receiving the operation notice signal.
