Abstract:
An editing system for editing a video material recorded on a tape-like recording medium, the editing system comprising:a video camera having shooting means for shooting an object, and recording means for recording video data of a video material shot by the shooting means onto the recording medium; the recording means having first mark data recording means for recording first mark data at a position corresponding to the video data on the recording medium in response to a marking operation by an operator; the first mark data being recorded onto a time code track arranged in a longitudinal direction of the tape-like recording medium at the same time as the video data is being recorded onto a helical track of the tape-like recording medium; and an editing device having reproducing means for reproducing the video data of the video material from the recording medium and editing means for editing the video data of the video material on the recording medium by using the video data reproduced by the reproducing means; the editing device having second mark data recording means for recording second mark data of a type different from that of the first mark data, onto the time code track of the tape-like recording medium having the video data already recorded on the helical track thereof; each time code track corresponds to one frame of the video data and includes a synchronizing signal recording area for recording a synchronizing signal, a plurality of time code recording bit areas for recording the time code, and a plurality of user's data recording bit areas; the plurality of user's data recording areas include a first bit area for recording a start code indicating a start position of the user's data, a second bit area for recording an identification code of the mark data, a third bit area for recording a serial number code expressing a serial number of the mark data, and a fourth bit area for recording check data for checking the start code, the mark identification code and the serial number code; the reproducing means of the editing device having mark data reproducing means for reproducing the first mark data and the second mark data recorded on the recording medium; the first mark data being a shot mark and the second mark data being an edit mark; the editing means of the editing device editing the video material recorded on the recording medium by using the first mark data and the second mark data reproduced by the mark data reproducing means.
