Video, audio, and remote device control cables: A variety of cables is required for separate
video, audio, and remote device control connections. Unlike a basic DV editing system,
which uses a solitary FireWire cable to transfer video, audio, and remote control signals,
many professional configurations require a separate cable for each of these signals.
Additional scratch disks: Because of large file sizes, one or more internal or external hard
disks, a RAID, or a connection to a storage area network (SAN) are required.
Video and Audio Input and Output Devices
An input device is used to transfer footage to your computer. For output, you record your
finished movie to an output device. Basic editing systems use a DV camcorder or deck
as both an input and output device. Professional editing systems may use multiple video
decks to capture and output to different video formats.
To connect non-FireWire devices to your computer, you also need a third-party video or
audio interface. For more information, see Video and Audio Interfaces.”
Video Device
This is a VTR or camcorder you connect to your computer to capture and output media.
The connectors and signal format on your video device determine what kind of video
interface your computer needs to connect to your device.
Audio Device
This is a device, such as a digital audio tape (DAT) recorder or multitrack audio recorder,
that lets you capture or output audio independently from video.
External Video and Audio Monitors
In the final stages of post-production—color correction and audio mixing—external video
and audio monitors are essential to ensure the quality of your movie. Editing systems
focused on these final phases of post-production are often called finishing systems.
