Programmübertragungssystem und -verfahren

摘要

Video programme information is edited from a plurality of prerecorded source media (1, 2, 3) onto an edited record medium (4). Each source medium (1, 2, 3) includes video programme information of a common scene which may be recorded at a location on the medium (1, 2, 3) relative to a beginning location thereof that differs from the location relative to the beginning location on another source medium (1, 2, 3) on which the same common scene is recorded. Each source medium (1, 2, 3) includes address data representing discrete positions thereon and when the programme information of the common scene is played back concurrently from the source media (1, 2, 3), the address data associated with the respective media (1, 2, 3) are also played back. The played programme information is monitored (5), and when a scene location in the common scene is played back substantially simultaneously from the plurality of source media (1, 2, 3), the address data from each source medium (1, 2, 3) representing the actual position at which the scene location is recorded on that source medium (1, 2, 3) is stored (44) as synchronized address data. Edit points on individual ones of the source media (1, 2, 3) are selected; and the selected edit points are referenced to the synchronized address data.
