The purpose of this project is to design, build and test an affordable video editing system so that editing a video tape would become much easier than before. The system uses a Macintosh PC as the CPU, along with Intel Microcontrollers (8751), to control the VCRs which will do the editing process. Composite video signals are fed through an analog circuitry which will count the number of frames, thus numbering them. Given the correct number of frames, the CPU will control the VCRs to "edit" the tapes. This PC-based project utilizes some features of the PC and VCRs which open some interesting alternatives in designing the system.
