DVCAM Format

DVCAM is a professional 1/4-inch digital recording format developed by Sony from the consumer DV component digital format (4:1:1 for DSR-2000/4:2:0 for DSR-2000P).

Wide track

The recording track width is 15 µm, 50% wider than the 10 µm of the DV format. This ensures adequate reliability for professional use.

PCM digital audio for high sound quality

The PCM encoding method yields a high audio quality, with wide dynamic range and high signal-tonoise ratio. There are two recording modes: two-channel mode (48-kHz sampling and 16-bit quantization), which offers sound quality equivalent to the DAT (Digital Audio Tape) format, or four-channel (32-kHz sampling and 12-bit quantization).

Playback compatibility with DV and DVCPRO formats

A DV cassette recorded on a DV format VCR as well as a DVCPRO(25) format recorded cassette can be played back on this unit.

High image quality and high stability

The luminance and chrominance signals are encoded separately, with a quality video image. Since this is a digital system, nth-generation copies created by repeated dubbing show virtually no loss in picture quality.

/5 compression, giving a stable high

Note

When playing back a tape recorded in DVCPRO (25M) format, the SDTI and i.LINK outputs (see the section “Digital interfaces” on the next page) of this unit are muted. Furthermore, it is not possible to playback the cue-audio track of the tape.

Usable Cassettes

This unit can use the DVCAM cassettes listed below.

Model name Size

PDV-64ME/94ME/124ME/184ME Standard size PDVM-12ME/22ME/32ME/40ME Mini size

The numbers in each model name indicate the maximum recording/playback time (in minutes) for each model. For example, the PDV-184ME has a maximum recording/playback time of 184 minutes.

Cassettes usable for playback only

All consumer DV cassettes and L- and M-size DVCPRO (25M) cassettes are usable for playback only.

Notes

•If you insert an incorrect type of cassette, it will be automatically ejected.

•When operating this unit as a player, you can also use DV cassettes on the unit. However, it is the best choice to always use DVCAM cassettes because they are more reliable than DV cassettes whatever your purpose may be: playback, editing, or long-period storage of recordings.

•Cassettes that have been recorded by a DV-format recorder can be played back on this unit but cannot be used for recording at editing operation such as the setting of edit points. When you insert such a cassette into this unit, the NOT EDITABLE indicator lights up in the lower control panel display section.

Notes on using cassettes

•Before storing the cassette, rewind the tape to the beginning and be sure to put the cassette in its storage case, preferably on end instead of flat on its side. The storage case of a DVCAM cassette is specially designed to ensure a long-period storage of the tape. Storing a cassette in any other condition (not rewound, out of its case, etc.) may cause the video and audio contents to become damaged over time.

•If the cassette memory connector (contact point) becomes dirty, connection problems may occur, causing a loss of functions. Remove away any dust or dirt from this area before using the cassette.

•If the cassette is dropped on the floor or otherwise receives a hard impact, the tape may become slackened and may not record and/or play back correctly.

For information about how to check the tape for slack, see the next section.

Checking the tape for slack

Using a paper clip or a similar object, turn the reel gently in the direction shown by the arrow. If the reel does not move, there is no slack. Insert the cassette into the cassette compartment, and after about 10 seconds take it out.

Synchronizing the Internal Time Code Generator With an External Signal—External Lock

Chapter 2 Setting/Displaying Time Data and Text Information

You can synchronize the internal time code generator to an external time code signal (TC) input to this unit. Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of a number of VCRs, or to carry out recording maintaining the synchronization between the source video and time code. In this case, the settings of the FREE RUN/REC RUN switch and DF/NDF switch on the subsidiary control panel are ignored. You can synchronize the internal time code generator to one of the following external time codes.

•The time code (TC) output of an external time code generator or external VCR connected to the TIME CODE IN connector

•The time code (VITC) present in a video signal input to the unit

•The time code (TC) input to the SDTI(QSDI) INPUT connector or i.LINK connector (when fitted with the optional DSBK-190) of the unit

To synchronize to an external time code signal

Proceed as follows.

TIME CODE

OUT

1 • When synchronizing to an external time code

TC SELECT switch: TC or VITC according as you are

synchronizing to TC or VITC

NT/EXT–PRESET/REGEN switch: EXT–REGEN (left position) VITC switch: ON (when recording 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.

Note

When the input mode is V:SDTI, SDTI or i.LINK (the V:SDTI, SDTI or i.LINK indicator is lit in the input selection/audio mode display section), then setting the INT/EXT−PRESET/REGEN switch to EXT−REGEN automatically synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time code transferred through the SDTI(QSDI) INPUT connector or i.LINK connector (when fitted with the optional DSBK-190).

Note that when the INT/EXT−PRESET/REGEN switch is set to EXT− REGEN, the advance mode and frame count mode (DSR-2000 only) are automatically set as follows.

Digitally Dubbing Signals in DVCAM Format

(Optional DSBK-190 Required When Using i.LINK Interface)

In addition to straightforward tape dubbing, you can also use this unit to digitally dub signals in DVCAM format automatically from the beginning of the tape to the end, through an i.LINK or SDTI(QSDI) interface. When a tape recorded on a DSR-1/1P Digital Videocassette Recorder or DSR-300/300P Digital Camcorder is dubbed, the ClipLink log data held in the cassette memory is also copied.

For information about connections and basic settings, see the section “Connections for Digitally Dubbing Signals in DVCAM Format” (page 133).

Notes

•Use a tape which is recorded in the DVCAM format. A tape recorded in DV format cannot be used as a source tape for dubbing through an SDTI(QSDI) or i.LINK interface.

•Regardless of the audio channel settings made in the input selection section of this unit, dubbing is performed with the original audio recording mode unchanged (two-channel mode (48 kHz) or four-channel mode (32 kHz)).

•Approximately the last 2 minutes of the tape may not be copied because of differences in tape lengths. (If an Index Picture is recorded in this portion, it may also not be copied.)

•A continuous recorded section of approximately 5 seconds is required before the recording start point. It is recommended to record beforehand color bars or a similar signal at the start point of the recording tape to be used on this unit.

Editing

This section describes how to carry out automatic editing with this unit and another VCR connected to the REMOTE-IN or REMOTE-OUT connector.

Overview of Automatic Editing

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

•Assemble edit mode

•Insert edit mode (In this Operating Instructions, these two modes are also referred to simply as assemble mode and insert mode, respectively.)

Assemble edit mode

In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials in order from the start of the tape. In addition to video and audio, time code is also recorded. This edit mode is convenient when you are recording on a new tape.

Note

Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a new tape, a video signal, e.g. a black signal, and time code must be recorded on the tape in advance of the recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the preroll time.

Chapter 4 Editing

Chapter 4 Editing 67

Automatic Editing

Insert edit mode

In insert editing, you insert video, audio, and time code at desired positions on an already recorded tape. You can insert all three types of data at the same time or insert one of the types separately.

Note

Before you use an unrecorded tape in insert editing, a video signal, e.g. a black signal, and time code must be recorded on all over the tape.

You can carry out DMC editing in both edit modes. In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

To record a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape

When recording a video signal and time code on an unrecorded tape to use it as a recording tape in insert editing, you can use a test signal generated by the internal signal generator of the unit. An example procedure follows.

1 Insert an unrecorded cassette in the unit and rewind it.

Chapter 4 Editing

2 Using the VIDEO IN button in the input selection section (see page

14), select the video test signal (SG) as the input video signal.

3 Set switches on the subsidiary control panel (see page 25) as follow.

INT/EXT-PRESET/REGEN switch: INT−PRESET (right position) FREE RUN/REC RUN switch: REC RUN DF/NDF switch: Set as required.

4 Set an initial time code value (see page 39) 5 Carry out recording (see page 48).

Recording time code

For automatic editing, regardless of the settings of the INT/EXT− PRESET/REGEN switch, time code is recorded continuously from the previous time code recorded on the tape.

Using extended menu item 610, it is also possible to record time code according to the settings on the control panels.

Video and audio signals already recorded on the recorder tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as the VCR uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance from the tape. The video signals read out by the preread heads can be sent to a video switcher, and combined with video signals from the player for recording. The audio signals read out by the preread heads can be sent to an audio mixer for mixing with audio signals from the player for recording, and can be recorded either on the original channels or on other audio channels.

Preread Editing

Note

•You cannot carry out preread editing using SDTI or i.LINK signals.

•When the preread mode is selected (the PREREAD button is lit), to prevent feedback in the loop connection, no E-E video out is available, regardless of the operating mode of the unit. When preread mode is turned off after preread editing, however, if the same channel remains connected to both input and output, an E-E signal is output, and feedback will occur. To prevent this, select PB mode as in step 1 of the following procedure.

To carry out preread editing, use the following procedure.
