SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING A PLURALITY OF CAMERAS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an operation system and a photographed video image distribution system for a control system of a plurality of cameras for enabling an operator to intuitively change the view point and the range of displayed video images for a stereoscopic video display device capable of displaying a plurality of the view points. SOLUTION: A plurality of cameras are replaced with a cylindrical volume expression and intuitive user interface 12 for instance and presented to an operator 9, the operator 9 is made to specify the size, height and position, etc., of the cylindrical volume, the variable of the plurality of cameras is obtained on the basis of parameters inputted by the operator, and the respective cameras in photographing systems 17 and 17' are automatically driven according to the obtained variable as the result of analysis. Thus, the plurality of cameras are easily and intuitively controlled and content photographing and content distribution for the stereoscopic video display device 18 are performed.
