VIDEO CONFERENCING DEVICE

摘要

Provided is a video conferencing device capable of accurately and clearly sending a conference participant audio and video and associated materials. The position of a camera (2) is fixed by a stay (3) with respect to a disc-shaped sound emitting/collecting device (1). In this position, the camera (2) is arranged in such a manner that it can rotate and be half-fixed at a horizontal-direction state and a vertical-direction state. Here, the state of the camera (2) is detected by using a switch. When the camera (2) is set in the horizontal direction, the camera (2) images a conference participant and extracts and acquires a video of a conference participant who is talking. On the other hand, when the camera (2) is set in the vertical direction, it images a material which is set in advance. Since the camera (2) includes a fish-eye lens, the acquired video is corrected in accordance with the respective states so as to generate image data to be transmitted.
