Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable plural operators to simultaneously perform independent editing works by plural VTRs and single editing controller which controls them to perform editing. CONSTITUTION:An editing controller 4 is provided with the multitask function so that plural control consoles 14 and 17, etc., can be connected, thereby, controlling reproducing machines 5 and 6 and editing machines 7 and 8 using VTRs and controlled so that plural operators can simultaneously use them.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an edit controller device capable of remotely operating a magnetic recording / reproducing device (hereinafter referred to as VTR) connected to one edit controller simultaneously from a plurality of operating means.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, commercial VTRs have been widely used in various fields, and the technical development of various editing functions has remarkably advanced.

A conventional editing controller for a commercial VTR will be described below. As shown in FIG.
The editing machine 37 is controlled by the editing controller 37 in response to commands from the console 38. Further, monitor receivers 41 and 42 for displaying and monitoring images are connected to the reproducing device 39 and the editing device 40.

The operation of the conventional VTR editing system configured as described above will be described below. Play the already recorded tape with the player 39 using a VTR,
A method of transmitting a video signal and an audio signal and recording the tape on the editing machine 40 using a VTR has been adopted.

The video signal and the audio signal from the respective VTRs are displayed on the monitor receivers 41 and 42, and the operator inputs an editing position and an operation instruction of the VTR on the console 38, and the editing controller. 37
Was connected to each VTR, and this was controlled.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional configuration, one editing controller can be used by only one operator, and a broadcasting station having many such editing systems in order to monopolize an expensive VTR. In the offline editing room, there was a problem that it required a lot of equipment and a large amount of investment.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems. One editing controller and a VTR controlled by the one editing controller can simultaneously perform independent work from a plurality of consoles located at distant places. The purpose is to provide a device.

[0008]

In order to achieve the above object, the edit controller device of the present invention is connected to a plurality of operator consoles and can be controlled independently from the plurality of operator consoles. , And has a multi-user and multi-task function by a microcomputer.

[0009]

With the above structure, since one editing controller and VTR provided at one place can be remotely controlled independently from a plurality of consoles, an editing system can be added by adding only a console. A cost-effective editing system is possible.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

As shown in FIG. 1, in the VTR room 1, playback devices 5 and 6 using a VTR controlled by an editing controller 4 are provided.
Also, editors 7 and 8 using VTRs are connected to matrix switchers 9, 10 and 11, respectively. On the other hand, in the edit rooms 2 and 3 where the operator is located, monitor receivers 12, 13 and 15, 1 are provided, respectively.
6 and consoles 14 and 17 are provided.

With respect to the VTR editing system using the editing controller device of the present embodiment configured as described above,
The operation will be described. The VTR room 1 in which the editing controllers 4 and the playback devices 5 and 6 using the VTR and the editing devices 7 and 8 are installed, and the editing rooms 2 and 3 in which the operator is installed are monitor receivers 12, 13, 15, Cables 28, 29 for sending video signals and audio signals to 16
Cables 32 and 33 for controlling the consoles 30 and 31 and the consoles 14 and 17 are connected.

Further, the cable 2 for transmitting the video signal and the audio signal in order to monitor the video signal and the audio signal of the VTR selected in each of the editing rooms 2 and 3.
2, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27 can be freely switched, and the matrix switchers 10, 11 and the video signals and audio signals of the playback devices 5, 6 can be edited by the desired editing device 7,
A matrix switcher 9 for connecting with 8 is used. These matrix switchers are operating console 1
The editing controller 4 is controlled by the cables 3 and 4 under the control of 4 and 17.
Switching via 4, 35, 36.

The edit controller 4 operates the operation consoles 14 and 17 to connect each VTR to the cables 18, 19 and 2.
The editing work is controlled by controlling 0 and 21 respectively. In this embodiment, a multi-user, multi-task function is realized by using, for example, a 32-bit microprocessor 80386 manufactured by Intel Corp. for the editing controller 4, and a function of independently processing editing work from a plurality of consoles at a time is realized. is doing.

[0015]

As described above, according to the present invention, by providing the editing controller with the multi-user and multi-task functions, one editing controller can be used by a plurality of operators at the same time, and an editing room can be added. At this time, by adding a monitor receiver and a console, it is possible to realize an excellent editing controller device in which the VTR and the editing controller can be shared.
