NewsCutter System
The Avid Media Processor is a computer that serves as the central
processing unit (CPU) for NewsCutter. The system and peripheral
boards installed in the Avid Media Processor convert the incoming
video and audio analog signals into digital format for storage.
A user interface (UI) monitor displays the user interface, including
command menus and buttons. The keyboard and mouse serve as
communication devices for entering commands and operating the
system. A customer-supplied playback monitor displays material the
system is playing or recording.
When the system records, it stores the audio and video media data in
digital format on storage drives. The system plays back the digital
material from the drives
During playback, the system converts the digital media stored on disk
to the correct output format (either analog or serial digital format
depending on the type of video board installed in the system).
