AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO GENERATION APPARATUS AND METHOD OF GENERATING AUDIO AND/OR VIDEO SIGNALS
First Claim
1. An audio and/or video generation apparatus configured to generate audio and/or video material representative of an audio and/or visual source, said audio and/or video generation apparatus comprising:
- a recording unit configured to record audio and/or video signals representing said audio and/or video material on a recording medium; and
a metadata generation processor configured to receive said audio and/or video signals, and to generate metadata automatically in response to said audio and/or video signals, wherein said metadata includes time code data representative of edit points of one or more parts of the audio/video material, and said metadata includes one or more picture stamps providing a digital representation of an image generated from the video material.

Abstract
An audio and/or video generation apparatus which is arranged in operation to generate audio and/or video signals representative of an audio and/or video source, the audio and/or video generation apparatus including a recording unit which is arranged in operation to record the audio and/or video signals on a recording medium, wherein the audio and/or video generation apparatus is arranged to receive metadata associated with the audio and/or video signals generated by a data processor, the recording unit being arranged in operation to record the metadata on the recording medium with the audio and/or video signals. The data processor may be arranged to receive signals representative of the time codes of the recorded audio/video signals, and the metadata may include time code data representative of the in and out points of a take of the audio/video signals generated by the data processor.

14. A non-transitory computer readable medium encoded with a computer program having computer executable instructions, which when loaded on to a data processor causes the data processor to perform a method of generating audio and/or video material representative of an audio and/or visual source, said method comprising:
-
generating audio and/or video signals representative of an audio and/or visual source; recording said audio and/or video signals on a recording medium; and generating metadata automatically in response to said audio and/or video signals, wherein said metadata includes time code data representative of edit points of one or more parts of the audio/video material, and said metadata includes one or more picture stamps providing a digital representation of an image generated from the video material.
