Digital information editing system

摘要

According to a digital information editing system, a personal computer (P11) controls a hard disc device (H11) and a digital VCR (500) to transmit all or part of an AV/subcode digital stream signal obtained in the digital VCR (500) and the personal computer (P11), between a first hard disc (100) of the personal computer (P11) and a second hard disc (101) of the hard disc device (H11) through a first IEEE 1394 bus (B11). The AV/subcode digital stream signal is edited by using the second hard disc (101) capable of interfacing with the first IEEE 1394 bus (B11), according to editing programs determined while monitoring images from the digital VCR (500) reproduced by a monitor TV (504). In this case, a recording area for audio and video digital stream signals is set on the second hard disc (101) in such a way that the recording positions of the digital stream signals are continuous, and only the digital stream signals are recorded in this area so as to maintain the continuity of data in recording and reproducing the digital stream signals, thereby allowing the stream signals to be edited without changing any of their digital signal status. <IMAGE>
