Portable system for live television signal editing
DCFirst Claim
1. A system for editing television signals comprising:
- a plurality of input connectors for receiving separate input video signals, and an output connector;
a mixer for generating at said output connector a real-time output video signal derived from at least one of said input video signals;
a single display monitor for simultaneously displaying each of said input video signals and said output video signal; and
an imager coupled between said mixer and said display monitor for causing at least three images to be displayed on said display monitor in a split-screen format, said at least three images corresponding to said input video signals and said output video signal;
at least one additional input connector for receiving one or more input audio signals and an additional output connector, said mixer further for generating a real-time output audio signal at said additional output connector derived from at least one said input audio signal;
an input panel coupled to said mixer comprising said plurality of input connectors for receiving said input video signals and said one or more input audio signals;
a monitor patch panel coupled between said input panel, said mixer and said imager;
an LCD driver coupled between said imager and said display monitor;
an audio monitoring system coupled to said mixer and said input panel for causing each said input audio signal and said output audio signal to be heard;
a private line (P-L) communication and tally system coupled to said mixer; and
an output panel coupled to said mixer and said P-L communication and tally system comprising each said output connector.
