Description

Application for application of Article 30, Paragraph 2 of the Patent Act filed December 10, 2021 Yoshiura Building Limited Company (Hii Kawamura Kobo) (explains the structure and dimensions of the case of the video editing system) December 15, 2021 Jonan Civic Center Hall (video editing system operation test)

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a portable video editing system for editing acquired video by connecting a camera or a microphone.

In recent years, videos taken by individuals and the like have been distributed over the Internet. This video can also be captured using equipment such as a smartphone that is equipped with an integrated camera and microphone. However, when editing video and audio captured using multiple cameras and multiple microphones to create a realistic video, it is necessary to use a switcher that switches the video captured by multiple cameras, and multiple microphones that collect sound. It is configured by connecting multiple editing devices, such as a mixer that mixes audio, a recorder that records video and audio data, and an encoder that edits video and audio data and converts it into streaming data for distribution over the Internet. A video editing system is required.

Conventionally, the work of recording and editing multiple videos is performed in a studio where multiple cameras, multiple microphones, and a video editing system are ready for use. A TV broadcast system is also used for recording and editing outside the studio. Patent Document 1 discloses a TV relay system in which a TV camera, an equipment rack storing a plurality of editing devices, and a movable trolley carrying the equipment rack are loaded onto a cargo vehicle.
