Claims
- 1. An audio-visual peripheral, comprising:
a capture system configured to convert an analog audio-visual signal into digital audio-visual data; an interface configured to transfer the digital audio-visual data to a computing system programmed to execute an audio-visual editing application; and a control console configured to control execution of the audio-visual editing application via the interface.
- 2. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the capture system includes at least one analog input configured to receive the analog audio-visual signal.
- 3. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the capture system includes a memory.
- 4. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 3, wherein the memory includes volatile semiconductor memory portions.
- 5. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the capture system includes an analog-to-digital converter.
- 6. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the capture system includes a data compressor.
- 7. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the interface includes a wired transmission mechanism.
- 8. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 7, wherein the interface includes a Universal Serial Bus.
- 9. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the interface includes a wireless transmission mechanism.
- 10. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the control console includes a control adapted to control frame advancement during execution of the audio-visual editing application.
- 11. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the control includes a jog dial.
- 12. The audio-visual peripheral of claim 1, wherein the control includes a shutter wheel.
- 13. An audio-visual peripheral for a computing system configured to run an audio-visual editing application, the audio-visual peripheral comprising:
an analog audio-visual interface configured to receive an analog audio-visual signal from an audio-visual device; a conversion system configured to receive the analog audio-visual signal from the analog audio-visual interface and convert the analog audio-visual signal into digital audio-visual data; an interface configured to transfer the digital audio-visual data to the computing system; and a control console including a plurality of user operable controls for issuing commands to the computing system, wherein the commands cause the computer to edit the digital audio-visual data via execution of the audio-visual editing application.
- 14. An audio-visual peripheral, comprising:
means for receiving an audio-visual signal; means for converting the audio-visual signal into digital data; means for transferring the digital data to a computing device programmed to execute an audio-visual editing application; and means for controlling the computing device during execution of the audio-visual editing application.
- 15. An audio-visual editing kit, comprising:
a computer readable medium including a plurality of instructions that provide for editing audio-visual content when the instructions are executed by a computing system; and an audio-visual peripheral configured to operationally cooperate with the computing system, the audio-visual peripheral including:
an audio-video capture system configured to convert an analog audio-visual signal into audio-visual data, wherein the analog audio-visual signal and the audio-visual data represent the audio-visual content; an interface configured to transfer the audio-visual data to the computing system; and one or more user operable controls configured to cause the computing system to execute the instructions that provide for editing the audio-visual content.
