Abstract: A new on-line videotape edit facility at CBS Television City in Hollywood incorporates some unique features. The system was the first to utilize the new broadcast-quality one-inch helical videotape recorders. This computer-controlled edit facility employs custom VTR remote control panels at the operator's console to provide the editor with full control of the low- and high-speed search of these VTRs. The system also employs Vertically Encoded SMPTE Time Code, or VEST, to achieve frame identification in the still-frame mode. The paper discusses major design and operating features of this unique system.
