Abstract: An editing system in which a personal computer is easily configured as an editing apparatus that performs editing processing in synchronization with predetermined timing. According to the invention, a personal computer 2 transmits an acquisition command C1 to a timing notice apparatus 4 over a USB cable 3, as a result, the personal computer 2 receives a timing notice signal S2 transmitted from the timing notice apparatus 4 under frame timing over the USB cable 3. Thus, it becomes possible to notify the personal computer 2 of the frame timing as reception timing of the timing notice signal S2 by connecting the timing notice apparatus 4 to the personal computer 2 over the USB cable 3 without the need of troublesome works such as installing a PCI board in a main body of the personal computer 2, thereby realizing an editing system 1 in which the personal computer 2 is easily configured as an editing apparatus that performs editing processing in synchronization with predetermined timing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an editing apparatus including: acquisition means for acquiring identification information for identifying a camera that has shot a picture selected out of pictures shot by a plurality of cameras; generation means for generating meta data, which indicates the switching timing for switching among a plurality of pictures shot by the plurality of cameras, in accordance with the identification information acquired by the acquisition means; and editing means for editing pictures, which have been shot by the plurality of cameras, by using the meta data generated by the generation means.
