DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENT Video tape editing control systems for cassette helical scan video tape recorders are known.
Such systems are capable, for example, of providing tape-to-tape editing by transferring selected video information from a "source" video tape recorder to a "record" video tape recorder.
Typical editing control systems are described, for example, in U.
S.
Pat.
No.
4,040,098 which issued Aug.
2, 1977, and also in copending application Ser.
No.
23,759, which was filed Mar.
26, 1979, both of which are assigned to the present Assignee.
The editing control systems described in the aforesaid patent and copending application each include a joystick control, by which manual operation of the joystick control enables a controlled video tape recorder to be moved in a continuously variable manner in a forward or reverse direction.
The video tape editor shown in FIG.
1 is contained in a housing 10, and is equipped with an auto joystick control panel 12, such as described in copending application Ser.
No.
23,759.
A toggle switch panel 14 is mounted on the unit above the control panel 12, and a pushbutton switch panel 16 is also mounted on the unit above the control panel 12, as shown.
As also described in the copending application, a four-position joystick control unit 22 is mounted on the control panel 12.
The toggle switch control panel 14 includes a series of toggle switches 14A-14J which perform certain designated controls, as described in the copending application, and the pushbutton panel 16 includes a series of pushbuttons 16A-16E which, likewise, provide a series of controls, as also described in the copending application.
The auto joystick control panel 12 also includes a number of pushbutton switches 13A, 13B, 13C which perform certain operations, as described in the copending application.
Also, as mentioned above, it includes a joystick 22.
Deflecting the joystick 22 momentarily to the lower position causes a record video tape recorder 32 to be disengaged from the joystick control, and causes a source video tape recorder 30 to become engaged by the joystick control
