A Closed-Loop Digital Video Editing System
An on-line video editing system has been developed, using a solid-state digital memory and digital videotape to archive scene elements and allow them to be used as many times as necessary for transitions, layering, and effects. Through this method, a single digital mix-effects system, along with a one-source VTR and a single channel of digital video effects, is equivalent or superior to a conventional editing system. The system integrates control of all video equipment from a single workstation, simplifying system management for the operator. In addition, the total hardware costs for a flexible post-production system can be effectively reduced. This article describes the hardware and software developed to implement such a system.
