Sony Linear Editing Station Composition

Overview

This paper describes the composition of a linear editing station, made up of primarily Sony equipment, in the studio of the Broadcast Television Engineering Technology program at Napa Valley College. The intent of this paper is to document the specific components comprising the system and the interconnections among the components, in case the system needs to be reconstructed. This system is referred to in this paper as the Sony Linear Editing Station, or SLES.

System Component

This is the list of components comprising the SLES, including the following:
