Patent number: 6658194Abstract: An editing device and editing method are capable of remarkably shortening editing time. In the case where the edited video and audio obtained as a result of editing have any parts that cannot be transported at a specified output rate, only the untransportable parts are extracted and subjected to the editing processing before the actual transmission so as to cope with the output rate. In this way, an editing device and editing method capable of remarkably shortening the editing time can be realized.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2000Date of Patent: December 2, 2003Assignee: Sony CorporationInventor: Shigeru Omori
