Data editing system for finally editing a recording medium using received compressed data

A data editing-side unit comprising:

• receiving means of receiving data transmitted from a data transmitting-side unit at a remote location, which shoots a video, then records the shot video onto a predetermined recording medium, then digitally compresses said shot video thereby to reduce the amount of data, and then transmits the compressed data by wireless;
• the receiving means disposed at an editing location different from the remote location;
• editing instruction inputting means of accepting the instructions for performing the final editing of the video recorded on said predetermined recording medium by using the data received by said receiving means;
• and
• editing means of performing the final editing of the video recorded on said recording medium depending on said instructions accepted by said editing instruction inputting means;
• wherein the predetermined recording medium itself is delivered from the remote location to the receiving means at the data editing location,
• the compressed data is transmitted from the remote location to the receiving means at the data editing location for performing draft editing and producing editing instructions for the final editing, and
• the final editing of the video recorded on the delivered predetermined recording medium is performed, after performing the draft editing and producing the editing instructions.

A method of editing a video program comprising the steps of:

• (a) shooting a video with a camera at a remote location;
• (b) recording the video shot in step (a) at the remote location;
• (c) digitally compressing the recorded video shot in step (b) at the remote location;
• (d) transmitting the compressed video of step (c) from the remote location;
• (e) receiving the transmitted compressed video of step (d) in an editing location, different from the remote location, for editing;
• (f) draft editing the transmitted compressed video of step (e) to produce editing instructions;
• (g) delivering the recorded video itself of step (b) to the editing location after having received the transmitted compressed video in step (e);
• and
• (h) final editing the delivered recorded video of step (g) by using the editing instructions produced in step (f) to obtain a finally edited video program.
