ABSTRACT:
An interface, which permits, through the aid of a computer, to pilot 8 mm video cameras and VTR's and other accessories such as a video switching device, the pause function of an audio tape recorder and VTR's or other electrically or electronically remotely controllable apparatus. It is comprised of an electronic converter card series/parallel-parallel/series which converts the RS232 series signals from a computer into a set of parallel signals, which will be transformed by a master card into series signals for the remote control of 8 mm video cameras and VTR's and into remote control signals for other accessories. Thus, all functions of this apparatus can be piloted by computer. The delineation of video sequences on 8 mm video cassettes of the video cameras and VTR's is realized through a device integrated with the master card, which decodes the information in the remote control signal from the counter which is sent to the computer through a series/parallel-parallel/series converter card. Two other optional cards, one a video switch which allows the selection of the video source to be viewed, the other a set of remote control exit interfaces, are integrated with the interface. The interface according to the present invention is particularly designed for computer interactive image applications, as an editing table, or to make animated films.
