Controlled by a PC, the VCR Commander Author ($729) and Editor ($595) models let you use your VCR and TV monitor or TV with an RF modulator when you need full-motion video to enhance a presentation or classroom instruction, as well as in TV and video research. With the unit, you can select and play multiple segments of videotape without having to manipulate a VCR's controls or reference its tape counter. You use your computer's mouse to indicate the beginning and end of each segment, and you use the keyboard to type in the segment's title. During the presentation, the VCR Commander automatically locates each selected segment and plays it when you click the mouse.
