NONLINEAR EDITING DEVICE AND NONLINEAR EDITING METHOD

摘要

A hard disk unit (101) holds coded video data coded in multiple compressi on formats and reads required coded data. The coded video data read from the ha rd disk unit (101) is decoded according to an instruction of an editing control section (109) by a first multiformat decoder (102) or a second multiformat decoder (104), and f ed to a first format converter (103) or second format converter (105). Data subjected to video format conversion by the format converters is combined by a DVE (106), subjected to video format conversion by a third format converter (107), and outputted fro m a video output section (108).
