Abstract:
A method for controlling a video camera which is configured to capture and process image frames prior to encoding. The method comprises determining whether the video camera is going to encode an image frame as an intra-frame or an inter-frame. If the image frame is going to be encoded as an inter-frame, the video camera is controlled to capture and process the image frame using first settings prior to encoding. If the image frame is going to be encoded as an intra-frame, the video camera is controlled to capture and process the image frame using second settings prior to encoding, wherein the second settings are modified in relation to the first settings to further reduce a level of noise in the image frame.

Claim (Index 13):
A video camera comprising:\n an image sensor for capturing image frames; an image processor for processing captured image frames; an encoder arranged downstream of the image sensor and the image processor for encoding captured and processed image frames; and a controller for controlling the video camera, the controller comprising:\n a processor configured to: \n determine whether the video camera is going to encode an image frame as an intra-frame or an inter-frame; \n control the video camera to capture and process the image frame using first settings prior to encoding if the image frame is going to be encoded as an inter-frame; and \n control the video camera to capture and process the image frame using second settings prior to encoding if the image frame is going to be encoded as an intra-frame, wherein the second settings are modified in relation to the first settings to further reduce a level of noise in the image frame; \n wherein the controller is configured to control the image sensor to capture image frames and the image processor to process the captured image frames prior to encoding by the encoder.
