Abstract
There is disclosed an editing machine for performing a nonlinear edit by a fewer number of video tape recorders than heretofore without requiring a dubbing operation. Where the nonlinear edit is an insertion of other signal, the editing machine comprises a first video tape recorder for reproducing a signal from tape, a second video tape recorder, and a switcher. The first video tape recorder has a delay circuit for delaying the reproduced signal to produce an output signal delayed by a first amount and an output signal delayed by a second amount. The switcher selects one of the signals from the first video tape recorder and the reproduced signal from the second video tape recorder. In the output signal from the switcher, the reproduced signal from the second video tape recorder has been inserted in the reproduced signal from the first video tape recorder.
