A method for implementation by one or more data processors forming part of at least one computing system, the method comprising: receiving, by at least one data processor, data characterizing a mother video feed acquired by an endoscopic video capture device, the mother video feed for characterizing an operative field within a patient; identifying, using at least one data processor, a first predefined marker within the mother video feed and associated with a first surgical instrument in the operative field; identifying, using at least one data processor, a second predefined marker within the mother video feed and associated with a second surgical instrument in the operative field; generating, using at least one data processor and the data characterizing the mother video feed, a first daughter video feed comprising a first sub-portion of the mother video feed, wherein a location of the first daughter video feed within the mother video feed and a zoom of the first daughter video feed is based on the identified first predefined marker; generating simultaneously with generation of the first daughter video feed, using at least one data processor and the mother video feed, a second daughter video feed comprising a second sub-portion of the mother video feed, wherein a location of the second daughter video feed within the mother video feed and a zoom of the second daughter video feed is based on the identified second predefined marker; tracking the first predefined marker and the second predefined marker through the mother video feed, wherein the first daughter video feed automatically pans through the mother video feed by changing the location of the first daughter video feed and based on the tracking of the first predefined marker; and wherein the first daughter video feed automatically changes a level of magnification within the mother video feed by changing the zoom of the first daughter video feed and based on the tracking of the first predefined marker; and providing, using at least one data processor, the first daughter video feed and the second daughter video feed. receiving, by at least one data processor, data characterizing a mother video feed acquired by an endoscopic video capture device, the mother video feed for characterizing an operative field within a patient; identifying, using at least one data processor, a first predefined marker within the mother video feed and associated with a first surgical instrument in the operative field; identifying, using at least one data processor, a second predefined marker within the mother video feed and associated with a second surgical instrument in the operative field; generating, using at least one data processor and the data characterizing the mother video feed, a first daughter video feed comprising a first sub-portion of the mother video feed, wherein a location of the first daughter video feed within the mother video feed and a zoom of the first daughter video feed is based on the identified first predefined marker; generating simultaneously with generation of the first daughter video feed, using at least one data processor and the mother video feed, a second daughter video feed comprising a second sub-portion of the mother video feed, wherein a location of the second daughter video feed within the mother video feed and a zoom of the second daughter video feed is based on the identified second predefined marker; tracking the first predefined marker and the second predefined marker through the mother video feed, wherein the first daughter video feed automatically pans through the mother video feed by changing the location of the first daughter video feed and based on the tracking of the first predefined marker; and wherein the first daughter video feed automatically changes a level of magnification within the mother video feed by changing the zoom of the first daughter video feed and based on the tracking of the first predefined marker; and providing, using at least one data processor, the first daughter video feed and the second daughter video feed.
