Apparatus and method for interfacing analog video camcorder and personal computer with each other

摘要

An apparatus for and a method of interfacing an analog video camcorder and a personal computer with each other. A horizontal synchronous signal used for the analog video camcorder is delayed for a desired time in order to prevent a phenomenon in which a picture is displayed on a monitor of the personal computer while having a black portion at the leading portion thereof and being clipped at the trailing portion thereof when using a personal computer interface unit for digital video camcorders. By virtue of the delayed horizontal synchronous signal, the personal computer can receive information from the analog video camcorder without any problem. The apparatus and method are appropriately applied to portable imaging devices.
