Abstract:
A video data transmitting apparatus for transmitting a source digital video signal prior to having editing performed thereon from a transmitting side to a receiving side, comprising:video signal encoding means for encoding said source digital video signal to generate an encoded video signal at said transmitting side;edit point data generating means for generating edit points data at said transmitting side comprising a plurality of edit points which are associated with said source digital video signal and which are used to define actual edits that are to be performed on said digital video at said receiving side, but which are maintained apart from source digital video data, and therefore do not edit the source digital video data at said transmitting side;multiplexing means for multiplexing said encoded video signal and said edit points data to generate multiplexed data; anddata transmitting means for transmitting said multiplexed data from said transmitting side to said receiving side so that an editing operation is performed on said video data at said receiving side based upon said edit points data to generate edited video data.
