Overview
The BKMW-E3000 is a network interface board for
installation in an MSW-2000 series digital videocassette
recorder. With this board installed, the VTR can be added
to a 10/100/1000Base-T network to transfer video, audio,
and metadata as MXF files. You can use MXF data
received over the network to record video, audio, and
metadata to cassettes. MXF (Material Exchange Format) is
a file format that stores video, audio, and metadata in a
single package. It enables communications between
network devices such as VTRs and servers.
Windows application network services
Installing e-VTR Manager, the supplied Windows
application, allows FTP file transfer and monitoring of
video and audio from the application.
Using the e-VTR control panel to transfer
FTP/HTTP files
You can use the control panel operation of the e-VTR
instead of the supplied Windows application e-VTR
Manager to transfer FTP or HTTP files. If you specify IN
and OUT points in advance, you can then transfer the
section between the points as a file. Up to 5 servers can be
registered as transfer destinations. These destination
settings are saved even after the power to the VTR is turned
off.
e-VTR Functions
A VTR with this board installed (called an e-VTR below)
provides the following functions in addition to functions
provided by standard MSW-2000 series VTR.
MXF file transfer and reception (file
management)
MXF files containing video, audio, and metadata can be
sent and received over a network (using FTP protocol).
MXF Proxy AV file transfer
You can store low-resolution video, audio, and metadata as
an MXF file and handle the file at a low transfer rate. Files
that contain such low-resolution video and audio data are
called “MXF Proxy AV files.” MXF Proxy AV files are
played back using the supplied Windows application
software e-VTR Manager.
Copying of timecode from the source
material
Timecode (LTC) from the source tape in the transmitting
VTR can be copied as is to the cassette tape in the receiving
VTR. The Setup menu of the receiving VTR (ITEM-252:
TCG NETWORK REGEN MODE) can be used to specify
whether the timecode is regenerated or copied as is from
the source tape.
e-monitor functions
Video and audio can be monitored on a computer screen.
Video is sent from the e-VTR using JPEG compression,
and audio is sent using A-Law compression.
Network transmission data rate limitations
Limitations can be placed on data transmission rates for
transmissions from the e-VTR to the network. This can
prevent congestion and severe degradation in performance
when the network is busy.
Automatic acquisition of IP addresses and
other network settings
Network settings for the e-VTR (IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway) can be automatically acquired from a
DHCP server when the VTR is turned on and the VTR set
according to the information. In order to utilize this
function, it is necessary to install a DHCP server or a
DHCP relay agent on the same network as the e-VTR.
Network operation using a host name
(DNS client function)
When connecting with external devices via network,
operations can be achieved using the host names as well as
the IP addresses. Specifying a server to be connected by
its host name pemits the server to be easily identified.
Web server network services
Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator can be used for the following operations:
When the tape already contains data defined as MXF files,
you can jump between neighboring files and play the files
back.
Automatic creation of MXF files from tape
or memory label information
MXF files can be automatically created from information
in the timecode (LTC) on the tape (rec start marks, shot
marks, post marks) or from information recorded on the
Up to 5 users can be registered for one e-VTR.
One of the registered users is “superuser,” and the other
users are “general users,” registered by the superuser.
The privileges of the users are as follows:
e-VTR Manager Application Software
Functions
The supplied e-VTR Manager application software can be
installed on a computer connected to the e-VTR to enable
control of the e-VTR from the computer.
The software provides the following functions.
Superuser
• Can register general users.
• Can view video and audio recorded at any location on
cassette tapes.
• Can create files at any location on cassette tapes.
• Can change the properties of files owned by all users.
General users
• Can change own password.
• Can view file segments in files to which the user has
access privileges.
• Can modify attributes of files for which the user has
attribute modification privileges.
The superuser registers general users on the user
registration page of the Web application (see page 42).
General users can use the same page to change their own
passwords.
Backing up Setup menu settings
Setup menu settings of the e-VTR can be saved to the
computer via a network. The saved file can then be used to
recover settings or copied to other e-VTRs.
SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) function
The SNMP function allows management information on
network devices (i.e., the e-VTR) to be monitored from
external monitoring software. SNMP settings for each eVTR on the network can be made through the maintenance
screen of the Web browser.
External server link of metadata
A meta-data file in an external server can be downloaded
and stored with video and audio data as a single MXF file
enabling file transmission. You can thus operate metadata
under external control and video/audio data recorded on
tapes in collaboration.
MXF file transfers between FTP servers,
including the e-VTR
The application can control MXF file transfers between eVTRs and between e-VTRs and servers, You can register
multiple network devices on a single computer and control
the devices individually.
e-VTR file creation, modification, and
deletion
Files can be created by defining the top and end of
previously recorded sections on the tape. These files can be
modified and deleted.
e-VTR video and audio monitoring
The contents of video and audio files on the e-VTR can be
monitored in real time on the computer. You can create
files while checking video and audio.
Storage and playback of MXF Proxy AV
files
You can load MXF Proxy AV files from an e-VTR to a
local disk of your PC. It is also possible to play back MXF
Proxy AV files stored on the local disk.
Trademarks
• Windows is a registered trademark of Microsoft Corporation in
the United States and/or other countries.
• Netscape is a registered trademark of Netscape
Communications Corporation in the United States and/or other
countries.
Automatic file-system data operations with
an external server
Information regarding the file system is normally stored in
the Tele-File. You can set your e-VTR to write and
automatically read these data to/from an external server.
This permits you to specify many files regardless of the
Tele-File capacity.

Rotate the MULTI CONTROL knob.
To change a value
Rotate the MULTI CONTROL knob while holding the

To set the default gateway
Bring the cursor to M52: DEFAULT GATEWAY in
step 4.

Restart the e-VTR, or operate M58: M50-M52
RENEW to apply the changes to the network settings.
For automatic assignment of network settings (such
as IP address)
Set the IP address to “000.000.000.000” or
“255.255.255.255.”
When the e-VTR is turned on, the network settings are
automatically assigned.
Notes
• If the IP address is set to “000.000.000.000” or “255.
255.255.255,” the IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway are automatically assigned. In this
case, step 7 below is unnecessary.
• If automatic assingment is active, M51: SUBNET
MASK and M52: DEFAULT GATEWAY are not
displayed.
• For automatic assignment of network settings, a
DHCP server or a DHCP relay agent must be
installed on the same network as the e-VTR.
• If network settings are automatically assigned, the IP
address may change whenever the e-VTR is
restarted. To prevent this, the IP address for the
hardware address of the e-VTR should be defined in
advance on the DHCP server. The hardware address
can be confirmed on the Network Interface page
(see page 45) of the Web application.

Enabling File Reception when Using
a Cassette without a Memory Label
It is normally necessary to attach a memory label to a
cassette to enable FTP file reception. Follow the procedure
to below enable FTP file reception when using a cassette
without a memory label.
Note
In the case of a cassette without a memory label, recording
of a file by the e-VTR begins from the tape position at the
time the FTP command is received. Keep in mind that all
