Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a video editing device that creates one video image from a plurality of video images.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when performing video editing, target video images have been displayed on individual monitors, and specific video images have been selected or combined to be edited.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, multiple monitors were required at the same time, and a relatively large space was required. Furthermore, there is a problem in that the operation for selecting a video image is cumbersome.

An object of the present invention is to provide a video editing device that is easy to operate and requires only one monitor.

[Means to solve the problem]

To this end, the first invention provides a selector that outputs a plurality of input video signals as they are and also selects one video signal from the plurality of input video signals and records it on a VTR in response to a selection command; The apparatus is configured to include a monitor for displaying images of a plurality of video signals outputted from a plurality of sub-screens on a plurality of sub-screens and for displaying the selected one video signal on a main screen.

A second invention provides a selector that outputs a plurality of input video signals as they are, and also combines two or more video signals from the plurality of input video signals and records them on a VTR according to a selection command, and outputs from the selector. The apparatus is configured to include a monitor that displays images of a plurality of video signals on a plurality of child screens and displays the synthesized video signal on a main screen.

〔Example〕

Examples of the present invention will be described below. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of one embodiment.

1 to 3 are VTRs (video tape recorders), and 4 is a selector. VTR1 and 2 are used for playback, and
3 is used for recording edited images. Reference numeral 5 represents a monitor having a function of displaying two small screens, and reference numeral 6 represents a remote control transmitter that controls selection control of the selector 4 and switching of the main screen of the monitor 5.

In this embodiment, when no command is given to the selector 4 and monitor 5 from the remote control transmitter 6, images A and B reproduced by the VTRs 1 and 2 are input to the monitor 5 via the selector 4 as they are; Each is displayed on sub-screens 51 and 52 (see FIG. 2). At this time, no video signal is output to the VTR 3.

Here, for example, first transfer the reproduced image A from VTR1 to VTR3.
When recording, set the VTR 3 to the recording state, and then control the selector 4 and monitor 5 with the remote control 6, so that the selector 4 sends out the video signal of the reproduced image A to the VTR 3, and the monitor 5 The reproduced image A is displayed on the main screen 53.

At this time or after this, the VTR 2 is operated to cause a still reproduction of a specific screen of image B to be edited next. - This still image of image B is displayed on the sub-screen 52 of the monitor 5.

Then, at the same time as the reproduction of image A from the VTR 1 ends, the recording of the VTR 3 is temporarily stopped. Also, by operating the remote control 6, the video signal of image B is sent from the selector 4 to VT.
At the same time, the image B is displayed on the main screen 53 of the monitor 5.

Next, in this state, if recording on the VTR 3 is started at the same time as normal playback on the VTR 2, image B will be recorded following image A that was previously recorded.

As described above, since a plurality of images to be edited are displayed on the monitor 5, only one monitor is required. Also, since the monitor 5 and selector 4 are switched simultaneously by the remote control transmitter 6 to determine the image to be selected for editing,
Its operation is also easy.

Note that the number of images to be edited is not limited to two, and may be three or more. In this case, the monitor 5 should have a sub-screen display function for displaying that number of images, and the selector 4 should have a sub-screen display function for displaying that number of images.
In addition, the three or more video signals are manually processed, and one of them is
Allow you to select items.

Further, although the method described here is one in which one of a plurality of video signals is selected and edited, the method can also be applied to the case where a plurality of images are combined and edited. In this case, the selector 4 may be provided with the synthesis function, and the synthesized video signal may be outputted to the monitor 5 for display on the main screen. Therefore, in this case, only the selector 4 is required to be controlled by the remote control transmitter 6.

[Effects of the Invention] As explained above, according to the present invention, there is an advantage that only one monitor is required and the operation is simplified since a selector is used.
