1-1 Features

The HDW-2000/M2000/M2000P is a high-definition

(HD) digital videocassette recorder based on the

HDCAM format.

This unit uses large scale integrated circuits for signal processing, and has a simple internal construction, allowing it to provide functionality at least equivalent to a conventional VTR in a compact (4U size), lightweight, and low power consumption design.

In addition to HDCAM format recording and playback, the unit can also play back tapes recorded in the digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, Betacam SX, and analog Betacam formats.

HDCAM format

The HDCAM format uses the same 12.65-mm width tape as the conventional Betacam series. It provides high definition images, offering up to two hours of recording. For video signal compression, prefiltration and coefficient recording technologies are used.

Direction of tape travel

Direction of head motion

SAT a)

High-precision digital signal processing and range of interfaces

The digital signal processing uses HD 4:2:2 component video signals complying with SMPTE

292M, which are converted into parallel data and then compressed into HDCAM format.

The audio signals are based on AES/EBU format, and are subjected to digital signal processing without being compressed.

The unit is equipped with a high definition to standard definition (HD to SD) downward converter, and has the following interfaces as standard equipment, for ease of connection to different external devices.

• SD analog composite signal output

• SD analog component signal output

• Analog audio signal input/output (4 channels)

• HDSDI SMPTE 292M input/output (HD digital video/audio, 4 channels)

• SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/ audio, 4 channels)

• AES/EBU serial digital audio input/output (4 channels)

• SDTI SMPTE 305M input/output (HDCAM video/ audio data) (Option)

• Time code input/output

• CUE audio input/output

Control (CTL) track Time code track a) Supplemental Automatic Tracking signal

High quality four-channel audio

High quality 20 bit/48 kHz AES/EBU digital audio is supported. There are four digital audio input/output channels, and four analog audio input/output channels.

High-performance heads and compatibility functions

The newly developed high-performance heads and dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide highdensity recording and playback in narrow tracks with high reliability. In addition to HDCAM recording and playback heads, the unit is equipped with Betacam SX playback heads and analog Betacam DT heads, for compatibility with existing recording formats. The

VTR automatically detects the recording format of tapes when they are loaded, so that no menu settings need to be made when changing formats.

Recording and playback of SDTI compressed data (optional)

This unit can be fitted with SDTI input/output complying with SMPTE 305M, and can therefore be used for transferring HDCAM data, audio data, metadata, and so on to a VTR or nonlinear device via an SDTI interface.

Multifunction control panel

While built in a compact 4U size, this unit has a front panel which provides a wide range of functions while maintaining existing operability.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1

1-1 Features

Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle dial

The basic buttons and jog/shuttle dial for VTR and editing operations are provided in the conventional

VTR layout, ensuring continuity with conventional operating panels.

DMC editing

This allows automatic editing with a varying playback speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.

Time data display

This can be selected to display a CTL counter value, time code value, or time code user bits. It can also display edit points and edit durations.

Menu-based control interface

The time data/menu display shows not only various values and settings, but also the pages of a menu system for commonly used functions. You can use the function keys and MULTI CONTROL knob to easily change settings.

Other operation settings, including interfacing with external devices, can be set from the control panel by the same type of setup menu system as on a conventional VTR.

Split editing

In insert editing, this allows editing with the audio IN and OUT points to be displaced from the video edit points.

Preread editing

This allows you to play back prerecorded video and audio material, edit it by applying effects with an external device, and then rerecord in real time on the same tape.

Cross-fade editing

In audio editing, to avoid unnatural effects at edit points, you can fade the audio track. You can select cut-in, fade-in, fade-out, or cross-fade.

High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback

DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During

Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved through unique multihead playback technology.

In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as for a conventional analog VTR.

Wide range of editing functions

By combining two units, you can carry out both assemble editing and insert editing automatically. All of the necessary editing functions are provided to set and amend edit points, to preview and review results of editing, and so on.

Downward converter function

The unit has an HD-to-SD downward converter function, and can output standard definition SDI, analog component and analog composite signals even while playing back an HDCAM format tape.

Upward converter function (HDW-M2000/

M2000P only)

The HDW-M2000/M2000P features a standard definition to high definition (SD-to-HD) upward converter as standard equipment. This allows highquality HD signals to be output even when playing back tapes recorded in formats other than HDCAM.

Tele-File functions

Tele-File enables data writing/reading between cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases the efficiency of operations such as recording, playback and editing, and source data management.

Chapter 1 Overview

Remote control function

This unit can be controlled from an external remote controller or editor through an interface complying with RS-422A (serial 9-pin). Since two remote control connectors are provided, you can also control a number of VTRs simultaneously.

Additionally, a parallel (50-pin) interface is also fitted as standard, supporting easy external control through the parallel interface.

Rack mounting

Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor, you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation

Manual.

When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is played back, it is automatically subjected to deemphasis processing.

Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing enables the dynamic range to be improved by reducing highfrequency noise.

4-1-2 Recording Time Code and

User Bit Values

There are three ways of recording time code, as follows:

• Setting an initial value, then recording the output of the internal time code generator

• Recording the output of the internal time code generator synchronized to an external time code generator

• Recording the output of an external time code without modification

To monitor the simultaneous playback of the recorded video and audio signals

Set the CONFI to ENABLE (see page 8-3) to light the

CONFI indicator. It is now possible to simultaneously monitor the video and audio signals being recorded.

To set an initial value then record the time code

If necessary, change the settings in function menu page

Setting the time code value to the real time

With the settings in function menu page 1 set as follows, carry out the foregoing procedure under the heading “Setting an initial time code value”. In steps 3 and 4, set the value slightly after the current time, then carry out step 6 at the instant the real time catches up with the setting.

TCG (F1): INT

PR/RGN (F2): PRESET

RUN: FREE

DF: DF (59.94 Hz mode only)

Setting a user bit value

The user bit values recorded on the time code track provide for eight hexadecimal digits, which can be used to hold the date, time, or other information.


1

Set the CTL/TC to UB.

2

Carry out the procedure in steps 2 to 6 under the heading above, “Setting an initial time code value”.

You can set each digit to any hexadecimal value, represented by 0 to 9, and A to F.

Note

If any of the settings in item G03 of the shot mark operation menu is set to ON (to write a recording start mark), then the user bits are overwritten with the shot mark data for 20 frames from the start of recording in crash record mode, assemble edit mode, or insert edit mode.


4-3

4-1 Recording

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an external signal

Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the playback time code signal from an external VTR without deterioration of the signal waveform.

In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.

You can synchronize the internal time code generator to either of the following external time codes.

• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code generator or external VTR connected to the TIME

CODE IN connector of the unit

• The time code (LTC and VITC) present in the

HDSDI signal input to the unit

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an external signal, use the following procedure.

Z

• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the

HDSDI signal input to this unit:

TCG (F1): SDI

PR/RGN (F2): LTC

• To synchronize to VITC data contained in the

HDSDI signal input to this unit:

TCG (F1): SDI

PR/RGN (F2): VITC

This starts the internal time code generator running in synchronization with the external time code generator.

Once the internal time code generator is synchronized with the external time code generator, even if the external time code generator connection is removed, the internal time code generator continues to run.

Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1) is set to EXT or SDI has the effect as setting PR/

RGN (F2) to LTC.

4-2-3 Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback

Overview

DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode

(from –1 to +2 times normal speed) and store the varying speed in memory for later playback at the same varying speed.

For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event you can set the start and end points of highlights while recording, and then provide immediate DMC playback of those highlights.

During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the following figure.

5-1 Automatic Editing

This section describes how to carry out automatic editing with this unit and another VTR connected to the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector.

Sequence of editing operations

The following flowchart outlines the sequence of operations in automatic editing with two VTRs.

Selecting the editing mode (page 5-3)

5-1-1 Overview

Editing mode

With this unit, you can use the following two edit modes for automatic editing.

• Assemble editing

This is the editing mode in which successive portions of the edited result are recorded on the end of the already completed section.

The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and time code are all newly recorded on the tape.

• Insert editing

In this mode, new material is recorded at an intermediate point of an existing recording.

The CTL signal is not recorded. The video signal, audio signal, and time code signal can all be independently recorded.

You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes.

In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

Using CTL to interpolate time code values

When you are using time code values as edit point addresses, the time code must be recorded on the tape in correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in strictly ascending time order).

If the time code values are all in correct time sequence, then if there are any discontinuities in the time code, the unit allows them to be interpolated using the CTL counter.

Recording time code

For automatic editing, regardless of the TCG (F1) and

PR/RGN (F2) settings, time code is recorded continuously from the previous time code recorded on the tape.

Using setup menu item 610, it is also possible to record time code according to the settings in the function menu.

• In preread editing, if an input video signal is used as the reference signal for the output video signal, this forms a feedback loop. To prevent the occurrence of feedback, set the F2 (OUTREF)(see page 8-7) in function menu page 4 to REF, and set item 309 in the extended setup menu to AUTO1 (see page 9-15) so as to use an external reference signal.

• When the preread mode is selected, to prevent feedback due to the loop connection, whatever the editing mode of this unit, no E-E video output is available.

When the PREREAD is set to OFF after preread editing, however, if the loop connection remains and an E-E signal is output, feedback will occur.

To prevent this, select PB mode for the video and digital audio channels in all the modes before the preread editing, as follows.

1

Set F2 (PB/EE) in function menu HOME page to

PB.

2

Set the F6 (PREREAD)(see page 8-7) in function menu page 4 to ON.

3

Make the necessary connections for the preread editing.

4

After selecting the desired insert editing mode, carry out the preread editing.

5

When the preread editing is completed, remove the connections.

6

Set the PREREAD to OFF.

7

Check that no loop connection remains.

6-1 Overview

This unit can record shot marks or use shot marks recorded on HDCAM tape. Shot marks are indications at desired points on a tape which enable faster cuing.

Types of shot mark

This unit supports the following three types of shot mark. This chapter describes recording start marks and

Shot mark type Writing on a camcorder, etc.

Recording start mark Automatically written at the start of recording.

Shot mark 1 and shot mark 2

Post mark

Written by a manual shot mark operation during recording or editing.

Not written

(Written only by this unit) post marks, treating them as varieties of shot marks.

Writing on this unit

Written or not according to a separate menu setting for each recording mode (crash recording, assemble editing, insert editing).

For each mode for which the setting is “ON”, the mark is written automatically at the start of recording.

Written by a button operation during crash recording or assemble editing. A menu setting determines which of three types of mark is written: shot mark 1, shot mark 2, or post mark.

Written by a button operation during playback, while stopped, during a search, or during recording (crash recording or assemble editing).

Modifying and deleting on this unit

Possible

First, the shot mark functions of this unit are described in simple terms.

Reading shot marks

This unit reads in shot marks written on a tape and stores them in memory (to a maximum of 200).

Once this data is stored in this unit, it is preserved even when the power is turned off.

Cuing up to shot marks

By selecting a desired shot mark from the shot mark list, you can cue up immediately to that position. By means of a button operation, you can also cue up to the shot marks adjacent to the current tape position (index function).

Writing and erasing shot marks

For recording start marks, a menu setting determines whether or not they are written each time recording starts. Shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post mark types can be written at any point on a tape, and also erased or rewritten.

Shot data display

When the tape includes shot data (camera, time, and other information captured at the time of shooting), you can read this in, and display the details on a monitor. It is also possible to display the shot mark list and shot data simultaneously.

Shot mark list operations

On the monitor, you can display a list of the shot marks read in by this unit, select required shot marks, delete shot marks, and so on. You can also add a memo mark (#) to a shot mark in the list.

During tape playback, you can add virtual shot marks to the list. This is not written on the tape itself.

Sorting shot marks by cassette

When the tape includes shot data, this unit recognizes which cassette each shot mark comes from. You can therefore sort the read-in shot marks by cassette in time code order.

7-1 Overview of Tele-File Functions

Tele-File is a non-contact data carrier system.

Tele-File enables data writing/reading between cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases the efficiency of operations such as recording, playback and editing, and source data management.

Memory label

Data management in clip units

In Tele-File, data is managed in units called “clips.” A clip consists of the following data items, whose settings can be displayed and changed.

• Cue point

• Write protect

• Mark

• Recording start point

• IN point

• OUT point

• Take number

• Cut number

• Scene number

• Comment

Newly developed IC

The Tele-File system employs a newly developed memory IC with the following features.

• Thin design: With a thickness of 0.5 mm, the IC can be attached to cassettes as a memory label.

• Memory capacity: 1 KB (user area, rewritable)

• Data transfer speed: 100 kbps

• Security functions: Reading and writing authorization can be controlled through multiple passwords and permission settings.

Data library management with handy reader/writer

An optional handy reader/writer (supporting Memory

Stick) is available to facilitate data library management.

10-1 Removing a Cassette When Tape Slack

Occurs

For details, refer to Section 1-17 in the Installation Manual.

If tape slack occurs in the unit, it is necessary to remove the upper lid and sound baffle. This job should always be entrusted to a technician who has undergone service training.

10-2 Head Cleaning

To clean the video heads and audio heads, always use the special-purpose Sony BCT-HD12CL cleaning cassette.

If you insert the cleaning cassette, it is automatically ejected after a head cleaning operation which lasts for

5 seconds.

Follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning cassette can damage the heads.

Notes

• When carrying out head cleaning without using the automatic cleaning function, be sure to eject the cleaning cassette after use in order not to damage the heads.

• You cannot use the BCT-5CLN cleaning cassette.

10-4 Moisture Condensation

When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm location, or used in a very humid place, moisture from the air can condense on the head-drum. This is called moisture condensation. If the tape is run in this state, it can adhere to the drum. To prevent such a condition from occurring, the unit is provided with a moisture detecting function.

If moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit is in use, the ALARM indicator lights and “ERR-10” is displayed in time data display area 1.

Z

If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and the cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the durm starts to rotate again to dry its surface. In this state, the unit is not operable. When the moisture has evaporated, the error message disappears and the

ALARM indicator goes off.

If “ERR-10” appears and the ALARM indicator lights immediately after powering the unit on

Leave the unit powered on and wait until the error message disappears and the indicator goes off.

While the indicator is lit, you cannot insert a cassette.

When the indicator goes off and the error message disappears, you can use the unit.

If you move the unit from a cold to a warm location

Leave the unit powered off for about 10 minutes, in order to give the unit time to detect moisture condensation.

ALARM indicator

If moisture condensation occurs, “ERR-10” appears in time data display area 1.
