1-1-1 Features of the HDW-F500

The HDW-F500 is a HD digital videocassette recorder using the HDCAM conventional digital Betacam in size, weight, and easeof-use, the HDW-F500 is a small, lightweight HD digital VTR using integrated circuit technology.

format. Comparable to a

Bit rate reduction encoder

The component video signal data is compressed by a factor of about four by a process in which it is subjected to frame shuffling, blocking, DCT (discrete cosine transform), quantizing adjustment, and variable length word encoding. This is the core of the newly developed coefficient recording system.

ECC encoder

HDCAM Format

The outer ECC (Error Correction Code) is added to the compressed video and audio data, followed by the

The HDCAM format was developed from the digital Betacam format, and retains the same ease of use of digital Betacam, while yielding high performance HD digital recording and playback. The HDCAM format uses the following technologies:

•Pre-filtering and a new coefficient recording system, compressing the data by a factor of seven.

•Powerful error-correcting codes

•High-performance, high-accuracy heads and drum with dynamic tracking (DT)™, together with a new auto-tracking technique, yielding highly reliable narrow track recording and playback.

Together, these technologies allow 120 minutes of

recording on a (large size)

/2-inch HDCAM cassette, the same size as a conventional digital Betacam cassette.

Digital Signal Processing

In an HDCAM VTR, the signal processing takes a 4:2:2 component signal which has been quantized according to ITU-R709/SMPTE 274M/SMPTE 260M(BTA S-002B) standards, and subjects it to prefilter, and then further applies data compression by using a coefficient recording system. Audio signals are processed using full bit processing based on the AES/EBU format.

Input interface

The input interface is based on the SMPTE 291M/

inner ECC, ID data, and sync data. The ReedSolomon code is employed in this error correction system.

Channel coding

Video and audio data with the ECC added is recorded in the form of serial data. The HDCAM format adopts a scrambled NRZI channel coding system for off-track and noise characteristics.

Playback signal processing

The playback digital data is equalized by equalizer circuits and error-corrected by powerful inner and outer ECC, which can correct most data disturbed by noise and dropouts in the reproduced signal. Data that cannot be completely corrected in this way is passed through a bit reduction decoder and corrected by an error concealment circuit.

Output interface

Component video data are converted into serial data and multiplexed with audio data and time code, then output in the HD SDI format. By installing an HD-SD Converter Board (HKDV501A; optional accessory), D1 SDI or D2 SDI and analog composite outputs are also available. Audio output can be data from the AES/EBU digital interface or analog audio converted from digital signals.

292M/299M(BTA S-004B/-005B/-006B) /ARIB STD B-4 HD component SDI(Serial Digital Interface) format, allowing a single BNC coaxial cable to carry one component video signal, four digital audio channels, and time code in time division multiplex; this is separated for conversion to parallel data. The interface can be used to record audio data from an AES/EBU digital interface or digitally converted analog signals.

4-1 Registering and Storing Menu Settings

Chapter 4 Menu Settings

The operating conditions of the VTR are set using the menu operation section on the lower control panel. Menu items are divided among six different menus (HOME, TC, CUE, PF1, PF2, SET UP). Of these menus, the PF1/PF2 (Personal Function) menus can be used to register frequently used menu items from the other menus, allowing faster setting of VTR operating conditions. Eight VTR memory banks are provided for storing up to eight sets of menu settings. The contents of the eight VTR memory banks can, in turn, be stored on a memory card for later recall.

4-1-1 Menu Configuration

This VTR has two kinds of menus.

PF1&2 ASSIGN menu

This menu contains items that can be registered to the PF1/2 menus. Press the [F4] (PF1&2 ASSIGN) button in the SET UP menu to display this menu.

For details on registering items in the PF1&2 ASSIGN menu to the PF1/2 menus, see Section 4-1-3, “Registering Items to the PF1/2 Menus” on page 4-3.

VTR SETUP menu

This menu contains items that specify the initial operating conditions of the VTR. You can change these settings directly without registering the items to the PF1/2 menus. Press the [F6] (VTR SETUP) button in the SET UP menu to display this menu.

For details on setting operating conditions of the VTR, see Section 4-7-1, “VTR SETUP Menu” on page 4-61.

There are two ways to record time codes on the VTR. One way is to record the output of the VTR’s internal time code generator. The other is to directly record time codes that are input from an external time code generator. The output from the internal time code generator can either be set to a specified initial value, or synchronized with an external time code generator. The internal time code generator time code settings are made with the [F6] (TCG SOURCE)/[F7] (TCG MODE) buttons. Menu selections and settings are shown below.

Note

•This setting is only active when the frame frequency of the unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.

Chapter 4 Menu Settings

Note

1) Drop frame mode

In order to compensate for differences between time code values from the time code generator and the actual time that occurs when the field frequency of this unit is

59.94 Hz, the drop frame mode causes the time code generator to omit the first two frames (frame 00 and 01) in each minute except the tenth.

2) Non-drop frame mode

In this mode, drop frame mode processing is not performed. Since there is no frame cutting, a discrepancy of about 86 seconds occurs each day (in the case of a field frequency of 59.94 Hz).

You can perform backspace editing with the CUE menu. In backspace editing, assemble editing is performed from the recording end point. Since the data specifying recording end point are cleared when you eject the tape, after inserting a tape, you must record for at least one minute or so on the tape before you can do backspace editing. After recording, the present end of the recorded position becomes the recording end point. When you press the REC/EDIT button afterwards, the VTR automatically prerolls a few seconds before the recording end point and starts assemble editing. If no data for the recording end point exist, backspace editing is not performed.

Note

Cue point data is cleared when a cassette is inserted. However, cue point data recalled from a memory card before a cassette is inserted is not cleared when a cassette is inserted.
