System Configuration

You can configure a variety of editing systems around
the ES-7 EditStation. The main types are as follows.

• Analog hybrid editing system

• Digital hybrid editing system
• Digital non-linear editing system
Analog Hybrid Editing System
As the video switcher, this system employs the
optional ESBK-7021 Basic DME Switcher Board or
ESBK-7023 Advanced DME Switcher Board. As the
three-dimensional effects processor, it employs the
optional ESBK-7022 3D Effect Board for Basic DME
Switcher or ESBK-7024 3D Effect Board for
Advanced DME Switcher.
The configuration includes two analog player VCRs
and one analog recorder VCR. This enables hybrid
editing, which is the application of special effects
while switching between video stored on the disk
recorder and video stored on tape.

The following sections show how each type of editing
system is configured.
For editing with a large number of short cuts, video
clips can be copied from tape to the disk redorder. This
improves editing efficiency by taking advantage of the
rapid cue-up times for clips stored on disk. Longer cuts
can be recorded directly from tape, saving the time
required to copy clips to the disk recorder. Depending
on the materials and contents of the edit, you can
choose whichever method is most efficient.
The results of the edit are recorded on tape by the
recorder VCR. The MO drive is used to store and
access edit data.
