System Considerations for Off-Line Disc Editing

The optical video disc is a natural device for editing applications. The disc players are fast (worst case access time about 1.5 seconds), have a reasonable capacity (30 minutes), and are inexpensive and reliable. There are, however, certain requirements and restrictions that must be adhered to for successful disc based editing. Because the disc editor is an “off line” device, the requirements depend in part on the originating and release media. Several common combinations are possible: (1) Material originated on video tape to be released on video tape. (2) Material originated on 24 fps film to be released on video tape. (3) Material originated on 24 fps film to be released on film and video tape. (4) Material originated on 24 fps film to be released on film.
