Video tape editor with fade control functions

摘要

A video tape editing apparatus for use with first and second video playback devices and a video recording device allows effective editing of homemade video tapes which produces clean, professional transitions of the edit-points. The editing apparatus includes a fade control circuit having a fade selector switch for generating a fade-out control signal to shunt the composite video signal components in a video amplifier when the fade switch is in a first position and for generating a fade-in control signal to remove the shunting of the composite video signal components in the video amplifier when the fade switch is in a second position.
