1. A method for forming a processed video stream, comprising:
capturing a first part of an input video stream using a camera;
transmitting the first part of the video stream to a processing facility remote from the camera;
at the processing facility, designating a first sub-region of the first part of the video stream for further processing;
in dependence on the designation of a first sub-region, forming a first cropped video stream by cropping the first part of the video stream to that sub-region;
forming the processed video stream incorporating the first cropped video stream,
wherein the camera is automatically adjustable to alter its field of view, and the method comprises, in dependence on the designation of a first sub-region, forming a camera control signal based on the first sub-region with respect to the first part of the video stream and automatically adjusting the field of view of the camera in dependence on the camera control signal.
