Abstract:
An apparatus for interfacing an analog video camcorder which outputs a video picture and a personal computer having a monitor with each other, comprising:a unit providing clock signals and control signals including a horizontal synchronous signal to be used for the analog video camcorder; a horizontal synchronous signal delay unit to delay the horizontal synchronous signal so that the video picture output from said analog video camcorder is to be displayed on the monitor of the personal computer while being included, as much as possible, in a screen region defined on the monitor; and an interface unit to interface the personal computer to the analog video camcorder, said interface unit to perform an interfacing operation for the video picture output from the analog video camcorder in response to the delayed horizontal signal and the remainder of the control signals, wherein the horizontal synchronous signal delay unit delays the horizontal synchronous signal by an average that the interface unit clips a leading portion and a trailing portion of the video picture.
