JPS58100284A - Recording system for information edited for unifying cm - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To simplify and ensure the retrieving operation at the time of CM- broadcasting, by recording unified editing information on the front end part of a unified tape in one lot. CONSTITUTION:On a unified tape, CM frame codes 3a, 3b... and CMs in every CM frame 2a, 2b... corresponding to each frame are recorded. Unified information 4 containing the CM frame information and tape positions where each CM is recorded is recorded corresponding to a header 1 at the front end of the tape. When the information is read by an on-air controlling device at the time of on- air, therefore, the retriveing operation at the time of CM-broadcasting is performed easily and surely without using plural rolls of tapes and plural sets of VTR.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a CM (commercial message) unification editing system for television broadcasting, and particularly to a recording method of unification editing information.

In general, commercials for television broadcasting are created by extracting the necessary commercials from the mother file videotape and editing them into a single video tape in the order of broadcasting, or by creating a video chibzuma Zion Air tape in which multiple videos are compiled in the order of broadcasting. So-called C
It was processed by the M unified editing system.

Figure 1 shows the conventional unification procedure, in which EDPS (Electronic Data Proc.
essingSystem), the broadcast order of commercials given to the commercial editing department from the management department of the broadcasting station in the next few days,
The unification information such as contents is read into the unification controller using STETSUNO■. Then, in step (2) prior to the unification work, a header, which will be described later, is written on the video track of the on-air tape, and thereafter, the unification work in step (2) begins.

Figure 2 shows the recording pattern of the on-air tape created in the unification procedure shown in Figure 2. In the figure, 1 is the video signal recording section called the header, which indicates the start of unification. In this case, a color par signal is recorded. Also 2a, 2b・
. . . is a 0M frame that is recorded in one piece in broadcast order.

Then, the information about what kind of 0M slots are included after 3h, 3b... for each 0M slot 2a + 2b
This is the CM frame code recorded just before the ``...'' etc.

By the way, in the case of television broadcasting, for example, when a sports broadcast is carried out as scheduled, it is called Program A, and when it is carried out for an extended period of time, it is called Program B. Furthermore, there is a so-called staircase program in which the 0M transmission format is changed depending on the situation, such as program C when the program is canceled due to rain or the like.

FIG. 3 shows the conventional 0M transmission format for such a staircase program, in which the automatic program control device APC transmits data via the on-air control device 0A (4r 0AC2r 0AC3, etc.).
Multiple volumes of program A, program B, program C, etc., for each situation as described above, which were edited in accordance with 7.
By using VTR3-- and switcher SW, 0M transmission can be performed depending on each situation.

However, in the 0M transmission mode of such a staircase program, multiple rolls of tape and multiple VTRs are prepared, and the operator manually searches each time based on the information for each CM frame mentioned above. This has the drawback of making the search process extremely complicated.

In other words, as mentioned above, when creating an on-air tape that unifies the commercials to be sent out in the order of broadcast, the on-air tape contains information for each CM frame (CM frame) as information regarding the recorded CM. Code 3 a, , 9 b
..., etc.) are recorded.

Therefore, this invention was made in view of the above-mentioned points, and it is an object of this invention to prepare multiple volumes of ``--'' and multiple VTRs as in the past for 0M transmission of television broadcasting, and to avoid complicated searches. The purpose of this invention is to record CM integrated editing information on an on-air tape so that it can be easily searched without any work, and to provide an extremely good CM integrated editing information recording method that makes it easy to search. .

That is, the CM unification editing information recording method according to the present invention unifies into one unification editing information including 0M frame information in the tape to be unified and the Q76 position information where the main part of the CM frame exists. It is characterized by recording all at once at the beginning of the tape.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

In other words, step ■ as shown in the unification procedure shown in Figure 4.
The unification information of the CMs to be sent specified by the EDPS is read into the unification controller in step (2) using, for example, a floppy disk. Then, in step ① prior to the unification work, a header is written to the video track of the on-air tape, and at the same time, based on the above unification information (0M frame information (code) and the main part of the current commercial frame) After writing the unifying editing information including the existing tape position information, proceed to step 11 "Next Step (2) unifying work."

Fig. 5 shows the recording pattern of the on-air tape created by the unification procedure shown in Fig. 3, and 1 in the figure is the header. h, 2b, . . . are CM frames that are recorded in one piece in broadcast order, and 3a.

3b is a CM frame code 5- indicating subsequent 0M frame information, which is similar to that in FIG. Then, 4 is 0 recorded all at once at the beginning of the on-air tape to be unified.
This is unified editing information including M frame information and tape position information where the main part of the CM frame exists.

The on-air tape for sending out a CM created in the manner described above is processed by the on-air control device (not shown in the figure), when the on-air tape is first aired. The broadcasts will be broadcast in sequence after being loaded into the program.

In the staircase program as mentioned above, if a search request is made specifying the necessary CM frame depending on the situation, the desired CM frame code and the corresponding This means that it is possible to search for the position information of the main story and skip to the recording position of the corresponding CM frame.

According to this, it becomes possible to easily search for a commercial frame to be sent out on a single VTR from one volume of on-air tape, and it also brings about various operational effects. I hope I can do it.

It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the single embodiment described above and illustrated, and that various modifications and applications can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.

Therefore, as detailed above, according to the present invention, it is possible to easily search for commercials on TV Noyon broadcasting without having to stock up on multiple rolls of tape and multiple VTRs and perform complicated search operations. It becomes possible to provide an extremely good CM unification editing information recording system in which CM unification editing information is recorded on an on-air tape.
