  • Patent number: 6052508
    Abstract: Editing interfaces for a moving picture recording device that includes a random-access, computer-readable and writable storage medium to provide non-linear access to recorded clips. The device provides digital capture of both video and audio information. The editing interfaces include dedicated keys for performing standard recording functions as well as a display with associated input keys having adaptive functions. The display indicates the function currently associated with the input key. This display provides a simple technique for editing video without a mouse or other external input device or complex graphical user interface. One editing interface allows a user to select tracks of audio to be recorded. An indication of each track which is available for recording is displayed in one or more rows of the display. Selection of one of the input buttons causes the status of the track displayed in the display to change by toggling through the set of available choices for the track.
