From the beginning of the Space Age, imagery, particularly motion imagery, has been a part of crewed and uncrewed missions. As technologies have evolved the imagery gets better, more compelling, and more useful for operations and monitoring of systems, crew, and spacecraft. Film, video and live television have engaged the public and sparked the imaginations of engineers, scientists, and artists alike. As we look forward now to crewed missions beyond low-Earth orbit, such as the Deep Space Gateway being considered as a pre-cursor to future crewed Mars missions, there are both opportunities and challenges in implementing a multi-faceted imaging system that advances mission capabilities and technology.This paper will present a vision for an imaging system that is relevant for operations of the ISS and future crewed missions in deep space, with a detailed look at some of the key innovative technologies required to enable such a system. In addition, impacts to Space Operations, video distribution to the public and to science investigators, and video system interoperability will be presented. Opportunities where standardization can enable interoperability are also identified for those imagery and communications functions planned for inclusion in the Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) Blue Book.
