Benefits of technology
[0011]By employing one of several new, small, inexpensive storage media such as PCMCIA-based disk drives, and by utilizing data-compression technology, the off-line editing capabilities are achieved in an economical system, with the digital-tape-based formats providing broadcast-quality required even for demanding applications. Recording duration capacity for these media is 60 to 120 minutes or longer for conventional NTSC or PAL video formats, and a natural extension to HDTV formats (with comparable program duration capacity) is achieved as commercial availability of storage media having higher recording densities becomes economically practical. Where compatibility to film materials is desirable, operation of the various system components at 24 frames-per-second is implemented.
Problems solved by technology
Each of these recording formats is incompatible with any other format, and all require sophisticated system facilities, including synchronization systems, edit controllers, audio and video switchers and processors, digital video effects (DYEDVE) systems, character generators, and other equipment.
This, in turn, requires extensive physical plant facilities for electric power, air conditioning and air filtration, storage space, and maintenance equipment.
Furthermore, large operational and maintenance staffs are required to keep the equipment in good working order.
Because of the relatively high cost of these storage media when long-duration recording periods are required, such systems are relegated to use as off-line editing systems applied to the preparation of edit decision lists (EDLs) for use in edit suites incorporating linear editing systems.
As currently implemented by many manufacturers (such as AVID and videoCube), PC-based hard disk storage is very expensive.
Because these two digitizing steps must be performed in real time, this is an expensive, time-consuming process which requires well-trained and expensive operational and engineering personnel.

Embodiment Construction
[0017]FIG. 1 shows a portable dual-format digital video recorder according to the invention, optionally implemented as part of a camcorder system. A lens 2 and viewfinder 4 are mounted on the body of a camera frame. The usual optical-splitter, CCD sensors and driver circuitry, and digital signal processing circuitry are located at 6, with optional battery-pack capability being shown at 10. The various analog and digital output signals and any input audio, video, or control signals, all shown generally at 16, are interfaced through appropriate connectors disposed on the rear-panel 12 and sub-panel 14. Provisions are included as shown for the input of analog audio signals, and for the output of both analog and digital audio signals. Preferably fiber-optic cabling is employed as a signal-carrying medium.
[0018]The internal video recording facilities are comprised of two parts. First, a lower data-compression-ratio digital audio / video signal is recorded on a stationary-head or rotary-hea...

Abstract
An audio / video production system is implemented on a PC-based platform, preferably utilizing various forms of removable magnetic, optical, or magneto-optical storage media. Specially modified cameras or other sources provide digitally data-compressed audio and video program materials in two formats, a first format having a higher data-compression ratio and intended for use in off-line systems to develop edit decision lists, and a second format having a lower data-compression ratio and intended for use in on-line editing and to produce the final representations of the programs. Off-line editing decisions may thus be developed on a PC using removable storage media, and final representations of the programs may be produced on-line in accordance with stationary-head or rotary-head digital-tape-based formats, such as DAT, 6-mm or 8-mm tapes. In an alternative embodiment, automatic and unattended editing, or extended program playback of more than 40 hours duration of digital video, is available.
