Abstract
A trackable camera beacon is provided that is mountable onto a camera, so that the camera can be more easily tracked and automatically controlled. The camera beacon obtains lens data from the lens of a camera, position data corresponding to the camera beacon, and outputs a unified and synchronized data packet. The unified and synchronized output includes position, orientation and lens data. This can be used to also control the camera, such as the focus, iris and zoom parameters of the lens.
