The improved landscape camera system for use in aircraft utilizes digital
video technology to obtain multiple fields of view that are selectable
for viewing by passengers on the aircraft, from either a single video
frame or from multiple cameras with different fields of view. The camera
module can also receive video input from one or more auxiliary video
cameras, such as a vertical fin mounted video camera, i.e. directed
forward for a view of the aircraft in flight, or a rearward looking belly
mounted camera.
