Abstract
Video editing apparatus for use with video playback and recording devices, such as video tape recorders (VTR's) wherein signals are reproduced from a first record medium and recorded on a second record medium. The apparatus is provided with a console having a plurality of display registers for displaying record medium position data representing respective positions of the first and second media. Register selector switches are associated with respective ones of the display registers, each such switch being operable to select its associated display register. The console also is provided with a plurality of signal selector switches, each being operable to select a particular type of signal (such as a video or audio signal) reproduced from the first medium to be recorded on the second medium when a pre-selected one of the media reaches a position represented by the position data displayed in a selected display register. Indicators, such as visual indicator devices, are associated with respective ones of the signal selector switches and are operative to apprise an operator of the relative positions at which the particular types of signals are to be recorded on the second medium. The apparatus also is provided with a central processing unit responsive to the operation of a selected signal selector switch and a selected register selector switch for associating the position data displayed in the display register associated with that register selector switch with the selected signal selector switch, whereby when the pre-selected medium reaches the position represented by the associated position data, the particular type of signal selected by the signal selector switch is recorded on the second medium.
