Abstract:
A system for editing high definition television resolution video data comprising:a non-linear editor including a random-access, computer-readable and re-writeable storage medium that stores a plurality of sequences of digital still images representing high definition video data in media files, wherein the non-linear editor provides a configuration control signal that defines a video program to be edited using the stored high definition digital still images, and wherein the non-linear editor includes a input serial digital interface and an output serial digital interface to provide the high definition video data to be edited;a multiformat video router for directing the high definition video data between the non-linear editor and a video processing equipment, wherein the router is connected by a video interconnect to the input serial interface and the output serial interface of the non-linear editor, wherein the router receives the configuration control signal from the non-linear editor to initialize the configuration of the router, wherein the router is connected by a video interconnect to provide video data to the video processing equipment, and wherein the router is connected by a video interconnect to receive video data from of the video processing equipment; andwherein the video processing equipment has an input for receiving high definition video data to be edited from the multiformat router and an output for sending edited high definition video data to the multiformat router, and has an input for receiving the configuration control signal from the non-linear editor to determine processing to be performed on the received high definition video data.
