(Ration Line) method.

The active video area includes a vertical blanking section (VBK ₁ ) of 9 lines, an optional blanking section (OBK ₁ ) of 10 lines, an active video section (ACV ₁ ) of 244 lines, and a vertical line of 9 lines. It has a blanking section (VBK ₂ ), an optional blanking section (OBK ₂ ) of 10 lines, and an active video area (ACV ₂ ) of 243 lines.

SDI is a so-called D1 format,
This is a format for transmitting uncompressed digital data such as two formats, in which audio data is stored in an ancillary area and video data such as D1 and D2 is stored and transmitted in an active video area. In the SDI format, metadata is inserted into an ancillary area and transmitted.

FIG. 3B shows one line of the SDI format. At the time of transmission, data of 10-bit width per line is transmitted after being subjected to parallel-serial conversion and transmission path encoding.

This is used for a program storage (Archive) process ARV by the archive system 40 or the like.

Various metadata generated by the distribution program organizing system 10 in the pre-shooting stage is transmitted to the archive system 40 via the gigabit Ethernet 1 and stored in the peta site 40B of the archive system 40. The production system 20, the news system 30, the archive system 40, the program distribution system 50, and the acquisition system 60 can take in various metadata stored in the peta site 40B of the archive system 40 via the Gigabit Ethernet 1 as needed. .

Note that various metadata generated in the pre-imaging stage may be changed and rewritten in various processing stages described later.

[0096] The acquisition system 60 fetches metadata necessary for a recording device, that is, an imaging device, and executes a recording process ACQ.

Here, the editing result indicates information on the editing point in which the in point and the out point on the recording medium are represented by the reel number or the time code. At the stage of the main edit (Complete Edit) processing PR5, based on the contents determined at the time of planning, the material stored by the ingesting (Ingesting) processing PR1 and the telecine (Telecine) processing PR2 is roughly edited (Off-line).

In the program creating and distributing system 100, a database for centrally managing metadata together with the essence of video data and audio data and the like in the archive system 40 is constructed.

In addition, a tag indicating the registered metadata is issued at the same time as being registered in the database centrally managed by the archive manager 40A, and the tag is the same as the video information and audio information obtained by the acquisition system 60. Be packaged. In the production system 20, rough editing (Off-l) is performed in the production system 20.

That is, the program creation and distribution system 10
In the case of 0, a support system for automatically generating a staff roll character using metadata can be constructed.

Further, in the program creation and distribution system 100, recording (Acq
Uision) At the stage of processing ACQ, for example, GPS

-Line Edit processing P in
At the stage of R4, the editor can perform time distribution of the program without being aware of the existence of the GPS data. Also,
At the stage of the CG creation processing (PR9), a search is performed from a separately prepared database showing a map using tag data indicating the position and time bundled with the video information and the audio information, and the corresponding map graphic is obtained. Is output, and a program using the map graphic can be completed by the Complete Edit processing PR5.

In this case, as in the case of automatically generating the character, the metadata indicating the position and time is registered in the database centrally managed by the archive manager 40A of the archive system 40, and the CG Generation (CG Creation) processing PR

That is, the program creation and distribution system 10
0, it is possible to construct a support system for generating CG by matching the GPS data with the map data using the metadata.

Here, when attempting to create content using a VTR, a large amount of material videotape is generated during recording. For example, when a 30-minute document is produced, usually about 50 to 100 material tapes are generated, and necessary cuts are selected from the tapes and connected to create a content.

Therefore, the program creation and distribution system 100

The metadata of items such as “cription” is recorded together with video information and audio information. As a result, the production system 20 can read the metadata at the time of reproduction, and can quickly search for a necessary cut from the material tape using the read metadata as a clue. In this case, the metadata of the item reminiscent of the content recorded inside the material tape is recorded in synchronization with the video frame together with the video information and the audio information, or electronically recorded on each video tape. The content is recorded on a label, or recorded on an external storage medium capable of managing and managing the contents of several tens to several hundreds of video tapes collectively.

That is, the program creation and distribution system 10
In the case of 0, it is possible to construct a support system that saves the tape screening work by using metadata.

In the program creation and distribution system 100, in the telecine processing PR2 executed by the production system 20, a vertical rate, a frame rate, a total number of lines /

(Edit) In the process PR5, after an editing operation such as length adjustment, the output trimming position is calculated by using the metadata recorded according to the output format, and the output can be obtained.

In the program creation and distribution system 100, when the essence data and the metadata are transmitted on the Gigabit Ethernet 1, they are converted into the MXF file format.
At the time of editing work, the status of the material used in the editing work is described in the header information as a history. From this header information, you can know the origin of the content,
As described above, for example, Clip_Object refers to a scene or a cut as a clip, and indicates a time length and a time code of a start position thereof. The content is a set of clips, and the time code that is a candidate for a chapter can be known by searching the information indicated by the clip in order from the earliest one. Since the final number of chapter points is less than the number of transition points in the clip,
All the chapters can be determined by selecting necessary ones from the candidates.

Therefore, the program creation and distribution system 100
When the content created by the production system 20 is distributed by a medium such as a DVD or LD, the authoring system 52 searches the header of the MFX file for the package that has been edited by the production system 20. By listing the candidates for chapter points and watching only before and after the candidates, select only the necessary chapter points and select the chapter points,
A format conversion for distribution by a medium such as a media or an LD, that is, an authoring process is performed. That is, in the authoring system 52, the authoring process of the edited video program is performed based on the metadata indicating the logical structure of the video program.

Further, in the program creation and distribution system 100, the right (Rights) regarding the performer for each scene,

By logging information such as s and costing and recording it simultaneously as metadata, it is possible to trace when a clip is cut out.
