About This Operation Manual 5 (E)

1-1 BKMA-505 Overview

The BKMA-505 is a dedicated control panel for use with the MAV-555 Multiaccess Video Disk Recorder. This unit provides a rich range of functions to exploit the suitability of a hard disk as a nonlinear editing device. The adoption of a large colour liquid crystal display enables monitoring of record and play screens, and enables GUI operation.

MAV-555, MAV-555A, or MAV-555SS Ver. 2.32 is required in order to use this version of BKMA-505.

1-2 Features

VTR-like user interface

For ease of use by users familiar with VTRs such as the DVW digital Betacam recorders, a VTR-like panel layout is adopted. The MAV-555 can be handled with the operability of a conventional VTR, and thus introduction is smooth.

Chapter 1 Overview

Multi-port operation

Using this control panel, all of the internal ports of the MAV-555 can be operated.

Use of 6.4-inch colour liquid crystal display

To display high-function information such as MAV-555 multi-port operations reliably and clearly, the large (display area 130 x 97 mm) and high-resolution (640 × 480 pixel) colour liquid crystal display is used. As well as providing full information display functions including monitoring, this also provides GUI operability.

Operations exploiting the features of a nonlinear device

Using this control panel, you can take full advantage of the MAV-555 hard disk recorder’s capabilities as a non-linear device. The following operations can be performed.

• Material data stored in the MAV-555 can be edited immediately, regardless of the actual length of completed material. Further, modifications can also be made immediately once editing is complete.

• Multiple material items can be recorded or played back simultaneously.

• Material can be edited as it is being recorded.

Direct input of numeric values

Timecode and user’s bit values can be directly entered as numeric values, using function keys.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-1 (E)

1-2 Features

Management functions for material

This control panel provides material management functions for the material held on the MAV-555 (material mode). In material mode, as well as displaying lists of material and detailed information on each item, functions are provided that allow operations such as sorting, renaming, and deleting items of material.

Edit Using EFFECT

When editing in Audio Channel mode, you can use material edited with the Effect Transition feature of the BKMA-560 optional board installed in the MAV-555.

Note

When operating from the BKMA-505, materials with patterns held on the BKMA-561 cannot be specified.

A/V Data Transfer

When the BKMA-540 optional board is installed in the MAV-555, you can transfer (send/receive) A/V data through an SDTI.

Time Difference Function

This function allows you to make reservations to record, preview, and play material (Timer Rec/Play mode). In Timer Rec/Play mode, in addition to being able to make various settings for Cue Sheet units, you can also sort event lists, delete Cue Sheets, and register templates.

Simultaneous playback function for two materials

This function allows you to set the IN and OUT points, and the playback port of two different pieces of material, such as a material that uses effects and a key signal material. With a single operation, you can load and unload the material and then simultaneously play back the two pieces of material that you have set (Dual Play mode).

MAV-555A and MAV-555SS support

The BKMA-505 supports the MAV-555A and the MAV-555SS (which supports Super Motion cameras). When using the MAV-555SS in SS mode, it is possible to use -3/3 to 3/3 times playback speed with the BKMA-505.

DST. IN

PAGE NO.

Destination Material

One of the features of this control panel is its ability to manage multiple edit points, allowing recordings to be modified (through retouch editing) from the control panel. The control panel manages data equivalent to one edit cut as one page. The following are recorded on one page: IN and OUT points for original edit material (referred to below as source material), IN and OUT points for edit destination material (referred to below as destination material), and the source material name and page number.

SRC. IN SRC. OUT

Source

Destination

DST. IN

SRC. NAME SRC. IN SRC. OUT

Edit Data Page

DST. OUT

PAGE NO. DST. IN DST. OUT

A stack of pages for the same destination material is called a program. Page numbers indicate the sequence of edit cuts in the destination material. By tracing the contents of pages according to page number sequence, you can reproduce the contents of the destination material from the beginning. Because one page corresponds to an edit cut in the destination material, the page number and overlap section of edit point data may change after editing.

In the following diagram, the source material numbers indicate the editing sequence, but the pages are arranged in the time sequence of the destination material.

Once editing is complete, you can immediately call up pages for modification. There is no need to play through the entire recording, as is the case with ordinary linear editing. The control panel can only manage one program at a time. A program is effective as long as a page is being created or edited through continuous editing for a single destination material. In other words, if you switch destination materials, the program for the destination material that was being edited is cleared.

2-1 Front Side of Panel

Note on the liquid crystal display

The liquid crystal display fitted to this unit is manufactured with

high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels (at most

0.01%) may be “stuck”, constantly on or constantly off. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously.

These problems have been kept to the absolute minimum, but are an

unavoidable characteristic of liquid crystal technology.

✕ Not selectable

• Pressing the TIMER SEL button cycles the display through the sequence

LTC → VITC → TM1 → TM2.

• Pressing the TC/UB button toggles between TC and UB display. During TC display, the TCG indicator appears in the liquid crystal display, and during UB display the UBG indicator appears (for a playback port, the indicator switches between TCR and UBR ). Since TM1 and TM2 have no UB, the TM1/TM2 indications do not change if you press the TC/UB button.

• On the RECORDER port timer mode attributes are also saved. Further, when the same port is selected for both the Player and Recorder, you can switch the timer mode setting simultaneously as you press the PLAYER button and the RECORDER button.

• The following figure is a state transition diagram illustrating the time data display relation to the TIMER SEL and TC/UB buttons.

4-3 Specifying Picture Quality

Every time you record material from the BKMA-505, you can select the desired picture quality for each material before it is registered.

Notes

• When the MAV-555 is in the BVE mode, you cannot specify the picture quality from the BKMA-505.

• If you change the picture quality after registration of a material has begun, until the material has been unloaded, the quality of the material being registered cannot be changed.

• When the disk capacity is shown in the remain time display for the current port, this is an estimate based on the setting for the 035 VIDEO COMP. RATE item in the MAV-555 Setup menu.

• When a material of different picture quality is edited, the higher picture quality is displayed in the material selection information.

Specifying Picture Quality for Registration

1 In the 0003 Record Picture Quality item of the CP Setup mode, enter the

value for the desired picture quality.

2 Registration begins.

For details, see “Record Picture Quality” in “3-6 CP Setup Mode” (page 3-34).

4-4 Recording Operations

4-4-1 Loop Recording

To execute loop recording

You can now record from the beginning to end of a material and store it as a loop.

Note

You cannot specify loop recording from the BKMA-505 with the MAV-555 in the BVE mode.

1 In the CP Setup mode select “Loop” for 0002 “Record Loading Option”.

When you want to specify a recorder port (R1 to R3), set to “Individual”. CP setup mode items 5001, 5002, and 5003 “Record Loading Option R1 (R2 or R3)” become effective, and “LOOP” becomes available. At the same time CP setup mode items 5004, 5005, and 5006 “Record Allocate Length R1 (R2 or R3)” become effective and time can be allocated to each recording port (R1 to R3) at the time of recording.

2 Use the PORT SELECT button to select the Port where you want to

record.

3 Hold down the REC button and press the PLAY button to start recording.

You will see “LOOP” displayed in the current port area of the LCD display.

Notes

• If the reference points in a program are overwritten when loop recording, you can update the program and continue editing.

• If the power goes off during loop recording, turn on the power, and at an unused recorder port, press function key B1 (Load) while pressing the EDIT button and reload the appropriate material. Resume loop recording.

For details about loading material, see section “3-2-6 Loading and Unloading Material (LOAD/UNLOAD)” (page 3-7).
