An editing apparatus of relatively small size for editing material information highly efficiently and accurately with simplified processing capabilities has a plurality of tape transports, a selector for selecting input and output paths for the tape transports, a playback device for processing reproduced output signals from the tape transports, a temporary storage device for temporarily storing an output signal from the playback device, a signal processor for processing output signals from the tape transports and the temporary storage device, and a controller for controlling the tape transports, the selector, the playback device, the temporary storage device, and the signal processor, and determining the execution of a re-try playback mode for storing an output signal from the playback device again into the temporary storage device.

Method of and apparatus for editing information recorded on magnetic tape

An editing method and an editing system can considerably improve an efficiency for editing. This editing system includes a reproducing-side VCR (2), a temporary recording medium (3), a DME (5), an audio mixer (6), a recording-side VCR (8) and an editing controller (10) under which control image data indicative of a first cut reproduced by the reproducing-side VCR (2) is recorded by the recording-side VCR (8), a part of image data indicative of the first cut is recorded on the temporary recording medium (3), image data indicating a second cut and an output from the temporary recording medium (3) are processed by the DME (5) and the audio mixer (6) and processed results are recorded by the recording-side VCR (8).

Method of and apparatus for editing video signals using a temporary

A single unit video camera recording apparatus comprising multiple recording devices for accommodating removable recording media. Each of the recording devices has a circuit for detecting the remaining amount of the recording medium available. The recording apparatus has a control circuit for switching between the multiple recording devices in response to a comparison with the detected remaining amount and a preset value along with other factors, including the operating mode that has been selected for the apparatus.
