Abstract
Techniques are presented for controlling views of plurality of imaging units, where each imaging unit outputs a feed comprising video. A set of parameters are determined, and the set of parameters defines a given selected view of a region able to be visually covered by the plurality of imaging units. The given selected view is one of a plurality of predetermined selected views of the region. Each of the plurality of selected views corresponds to a portion of the region and to one or more of the imaging units able to visually cover the portion of the region. Further, each selected view is defined by a corresponding set of parameters. It is determined which of the one or more feeds correspond to the given selected view, and the one or more feeds that correspond to the given selected view are output.
