Remote Retrieval and Editing System for the Large Scale Video Archive

Abstract

According to the expansion of the broadcasting channels, shortage of the contents becomes a problem. Here we report the Multi-point Tele-production system for Large-scale video archives, which enable the remote retrieval of the archive data from a terminal located in the far distance. (Here 10km distance for the experiments). And remote control and remote editing are enabled in the system, which consists of the main editing facility, the satellite editing terminal and the retrieval terminal for the large-scale archive. As the optical fiber connects these locations, co-operative remote editing is done between them. The conventional remote control functions such as server control, VTR control, cut, wipe are also included in the system functions.
