Next, the operation of the data editing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described.

For the sake of convenience in the following description, archeological sites have been excavated in Nara, and a broadcaster in Osaka has dispatched a photographer to the excavation site to cover the event, and edited the video taken by the photographer. The operation of the data editing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention will be described by taking as an example a case in which news about "excavation of archeological sites in Nara" is broadcast within a 3-minute frame of a news program on the evening of the day. In addition, it is assumed that a notification that "the archeological site has been excavated in Nara" arrives at the broadcast station at 2:00 pm, and that the broadcast station receives the notification and dispatches a photographer to the archeological site in Nara.

First, the cameraman receives an instruction to shoot an image for excavation of archeological sites, and at the same time, goes to the archeological site of archeological site in Nara with the data transmitting unit 1 and shoots an image of archeological sites with the camera 2. The microphone 3 picks up the sound during the excavation work. Then, the data transmitting unit 1
Then, the recording means 4 records the photographed video and the collected sound on the tape 5. The tape 5 has 1
It is assumed that coverage data for 30 minutes is recorded as high-quality video and high-quality sound.

In the data transmitting unit 1, together with the recording of the news gathering data on the tape 5, the compression means 6 digitally compresses the video captured by the camera 2 and the audio collected by the microphone 3 in real time. Then, the mobile phone 7 connected to the compression means 6 transmits the data compressed by the compression means 6 to the broadcast station wirelessly using radio waves in real time. In addition,
It is assumed that the video and audio when the data compressed by the compression means 6 is reproduced have low quality.

Next, in the data editing unit 8 arranged in the broadcasting station, the receiving means 9 receives the data from the mobile phone 7 of the data transmitting unit 1. Then, the real-time distribution means 15 can distribute the entire coverage data of “1 hour and 30 minutes concerning“ excavation of archeological sites in Nara ”on the Internet 18 in real time in the order received by the receiving means 9. Data is stored in a server 17 on the Internet 18. In this case, the real-time distribution means 15 transmits the program advertisement information on the broadcast channel and the broadcast time to the server 17 when the video about “excavation of archeological site in Nara” is broadcast from the broadcast station.
To accumulate. Since the data received by the receiving means 9 is data compressed by the compressing means 6, the video and audio distributed in real time on the Internet 18 are of low quality.

As described above, the real-time distribution means 15
However, since all the images about “excavation of archeological sites in Nara” are sequentially distributed in real time on the Internet 18, the user can use the user-side transceiver 19 to improve the image quality and sound quality, but “ Excavation of archeological sites ''
You can watch all the videos about in real time. In addition, according to the advertising information of the news program including "excavation of archeological sites in Nara" added to the real-time video,
The user can view “excavation of archeological site” in high-quality video when news about “excavation of archeological site in Nara” is broadcast later.

In the data editing unit 8, when the receiving means 9 receives the data from the data transmitting unit 1, the reproducing means 10 sequentially reproduces the received data.
Based on this, the display 11 displays the image. The quality of the video is not good. This is because the data on which the video is based is the data that has been compressed by the compression means 6 and has been reproduced.

Then, the editor of the news program of the broadcasting station receives the video by the receiving means 9 while watching the video displayed on the display 11 so that the news program falls within a predetermined frame of, for example, three minutes. Editing of the data “excavation of archeological sites in Nara” is performed using the rough editing machine 12.

Note that the editing in this case is editing for generating data that cannot be directly used for broadcasting because the quality of the video and audio to be edited is not good, and is referred to as coarse editing. However, as will be described later, by using the roughly edited data, the tape 5 on which the video and audio are recorded by the recording means 4 of the data transmission unit 1 reaches the broadcasting station after the tape 5 reaches the broadcasting station. The normal editing time for high-quality video and audio recorded in the DVD is shorter than before.

Here, the rough editing performed by the editor using the rough editing machine 12 will be further described. As described above, the editor picks up a necessary frame and performs the rough editing while watching the video displayed on the display 11. At that time, the rough editor 12 is picked up by the editor. The frame number is received by the receiving means 9
From the number added to each frame in the data from, and outputs the specified frame number to the editing instruction input means 13.

As described above, when the frame number picked up by the editor during the rough editing is specified, when the regular editing is performed by the main editing machine 14 after the tape 5 reaches the broadcasting station, the specified frame number is used. By using, the editor does not need to watch the video reproduced from the tape 5 again.

Next, when the tape 5 on which the video and audio are recorded by the data transmission side unit 1 reaches the broadcasting station, the main editor 14 sends the data from the tape 5 and the rough data from the editing instruction input means 13. Based on the frame number specified by the editing machine 12, the video recorded on the tape 5 is properly edited. By the way, since the frame number to be picked up at the time of the rough editing has already been specified as described above, the normal editing performed by the main editing machine 14 is performed in a short time. Therefore, the editing time after the tape 5 reaches the broadcasting station is greatly reduced.

Then, at the time corresponding to the news program, the broadcasting means 16 broadcasts the video and audio of “excavation of archeological sites in Nara” which have been duly edited by the main editor 14. Note that the quality of the broadcasted video and audio is high. This is because they are based on a high quality recorded tape 5.

The broadcasting means 16 broadcasts “excavation of archeological sites in Nara”, and transmits all data that is the source of the broadcast data, including data not used for broadcasting. The user broadcasts information indicating that it is available by using the Internet 18 using the user-side transceiver 19. The information includes
As shown in FIG. 2, the address displayed on the upper right of the screen of the user-side display 20 is included.

Here, if the user is interested in the broadcasted “excavation of archeological site” and wishes to view all the video data of the “excavation of archeological site”, the user may select the address displayed on the user side display 20. Click. By the operation, the user-side transceiver 19 and the Internet 1
The server 17 is accessed via the Internet 8 and all video data of "excavation of archeological sites" is sequentially displayed on the user side display 20 via the Internet 18 and the user side transceiver 19, thereby satisfying the user's demand.

In the above-described first embodiment, the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to an example in which a broadcast station in Osaka covers an archeological site excavated in Nara, edits the coverage data, and broadcasts. Explained the operation of the data editing system.
The data editing system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is not limited to those used for editing and broadcasting of the news gathering data of the scene described above. For example, the above-described first embodiment is also applicable to a case where a broadcasting station reports an event that occurred in a geographically distant place or an event such as a sport or a concert, edits the reporting data, and broadcasts the edited data. Use of a data editing system is possible.

In the first embodiment, the data editing unit 8 is arranged at the broadcasting station. However, the data editing unit of the data editing system of the present invention is arranged at the broadcasting station. It is not limited to what is performed.

Data is acquired wirelessly in advance, and using the data acquired in advance, a video or the like on a recording medium such as a tape on which the video is recorded is regularly edited.

In the first embodiment, the compression means 6 of the data transmitting unit 1 performs digital compression in real time. However, the present invention is not limited to real time compression. For example, digital compression may be performed with a certain delay after the video is captured. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the mobile phone 7 transmits the data compressed by the compression unit 6 in real time. However, the data transmission may be performed after a certain time delay as described above. In this case, it is desirable to transmit the information of the shooting time of the video together with the data. In addition, the transmission data does not need to be all the captured data. For example, one frame out of ten frames of a captured video may not be transmitted.

In the first embodiment, when the editor performs the rough editing using the rough editing machine 12, the rough editing machine 1
2 specifies the number of the frame picked up by the editor and outputs the specified frame number to the edit instruction input means 13, but the editor inputs the frame number directly to the edit instruction input means 13. You may. Further, the picked-up frame may be specified by, for example, the elapsed time from the beginning of the place where the frame is located on the tape 5. For example, 30 from the top
The frame may be specified as a frame 15 minutes later.
Alternatively, when performing regular editing, the editor may input an instruction for regular editing to the editing instruction input unit 13 while watching the reproduced video of the coarsely edited data again. In short, the editing instruction input means 13 only needs to input an instruction for performing regular editing.

Further, the mobile phone 7 of the data transmitting unit 1 according to the above-described first embodiment is used to store the location and time of the video image captured by the camera 2 of the data transmitting unit 1, Ancillary information such as a topic related to photographing received from a user (for example, a cameraman) may be transmitted to the data editing unit 8 by radio waves. An example of a topic corresponds to the type of pottery excavated during archeological excavation. When the attached information is transmitted in this manner, the data editing unit 8 can perform regular editing using the attached information. Note that examples of the attached information include the weather at the time of capturing the video, the brightness of the video location, the direction in which the target was captured, and the direction in which the sun is located. There is an advantage that knowing the direction where the sun is located can be used to determine the direction in which shadows can occur.

In the first embodiment, the portable telephone 7 is used as an example of the transmitting means of the data transmitting unit of the data editing system of the present invention. However, the transmitting means is another mobile digital communication device. There may be. The transmitting means is not limited to a mobile digital communication device such as the mobile phone 7.

In FIG. 3, the mobile phone 7 of the data transmitting unit 1 receives the information from the transmitting unit 22 of the data editing unit 8, and the received information is displayed on the viewfinder of the camera 2 which the photographer looks through. . Therefore, in the case of FIG. 3, the mobile phone 7 corresponds to an example of the receiving unit that receives the information transmitted from the data editing unit 8, and the viewfinder of the camera 2 corresponds to the example of the information output unit. Become.

For example, if earthenware is unearthed while a photographer is photographing the above-mentioned "excavation of archeological site", the editor of the broadcasting station desires to have the earthenware enlarged and photographed. There are cases. In that case, in the system shown in FIG.
When the information is input to 1, the transmitting means 22 transmits information "Let's magnify" to the data transmitting unit 1. Then, in the data transmitting unit 1, the information is received by the mobile phone 7 and the information of “enlarge and shoot” is displayed on the viewfinder of the camera 2 as shown in FIG. There is an effect that the pottery can be enlarged and photographed based on the instruction of the editor.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, the portable telephone 7 is used as an example of the receiving means for receiving the information transmitted from the data editing unit 8, but the receiving means is provided separately from the portable telephone 7 on the data transmitting side. It may be provided in the unit 1. Also,
In the example of FIG. 3, the viewfinder of the camera 2 is used as an example of the information output unit. However, the information output unit is not limited to the viewfinder, and may output information by sound. In short, the information output means only needs to output information information from the user of the data editing unit 8.

As the information receiving means 21 and / or the transmitting means 22 of the data editing unit 8, a mobile digital communication device such as a mobile phone may be used.
