Chapter 1 Overview

The DVW-M2000/M2000P/2000/2000P is a digital videocassette recorder based on the digital Betacam 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),

Digital Betacam format

The digital Betacam format is characterized in that the video and four-channel audio signals of each field are recorded onto the tape with six helical tracks, at a slightly slower tape speed and three times faster drum rotation speed than the analog Betacam formats: Betacam, and Betacam SP. As for longitudinal tracks, the digital Betacam format has a CTL track, a time code (LTC) track and a cue audio track, similarly to the analog Betacam formats.

lightweight, and low power consumption design. It not only offers recording and playback in digital Betacam format, but can also play back tapes recorded in Betacam SX format, analog Betacam format, or MPEG IMX format

However, it does not have a channel-1 audio track, and this is a solution to expand the space for the helical tracks. Digital Betacam VTRs have a greater drum diameter than that of analog Betacam ones to ensure optimum digital recording, but their built-in time base corrector circuit enables them to play analog Betacam tapes (analog Betacam playback compatibility).

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 Features

High-performance heads and compatibility playback function

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 the digital Betacam recording and playback heads, this unit is also equipped with Betacam SX format playback heads, MPEG IMX playback heads, and analog Betacam DT heads, to provide compatibility playback functions, and allowing a wide variety of recorded resources to be used effectively. Note that the compatibility playback functions differ depending on the models covered by this manual.

High-precision digital signal processing and range of interfaces

While supporting a wide range of input and output signals, all of the VTR internal processing is digital, providing high stability and reliability. The audio signals, similarly, are based on AES/EBU format, and are subjected to digital signal processing while still uncompressed.

The following interfaces are standard equipment, for ease of connection to different external devices.

•Analog composite signal input/output

•Analog component signal input/output

•Analog audio signal input/output (4 channels)

•SDI (Serial Digital Interface) SMPTE 259M input

(component digital video/audio (4 channels))

•SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/

audio (DVW-M2000/M2000P: 8 channels; DVW2000/2000P: (4 channels))

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

•AES/EBU serial digital audio output (DVW-M2000/

M2000P: 8 channels; DVW-2000/2000P: 4 channels)

•Time code input/output

•Cue audio signal input/output

High quality four-channel audio

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

Newly developed multifunction control panel

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

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.

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.

1) The DVW-2000/2000P is equipped with no Betacam SX playback heads, no analog Betacam DT playback heads, and no MPEG IMX playback heads.

1-2 Chapter 1 Overview

Page 11

Chapter 1 Overview

High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In digital Betacam or MPEG IMX format1) playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed. In analog Betacam compatible playback also, similar dedicated DT heads allow noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed, and in Betacam SX format compatible playback, special multi-head playback technology allows noiseless playback from –1 to +2 times normal speed. In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as 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.

Cross-fade editing

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

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.

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.

DMC editing

Rack mounting

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

Split editing

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

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.

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.

1) The MPEG IMX and Betacam SX formats are not supported by the DVW-2000/2000P.

4 Audio signal selection buttons (CH1 to CH4, CUE)

The function of these buttons depends on the signal selection mode set with the audio selection function selector buttons (INPUT, MIXING) 1 as follows.

Input signal selection mode (the input signal indicator flashes): The buttons in the upper row

select signals for each audio input channel. Each time you press the CH1 (CH2, CH3, CH4) button, the selected signal cycles through SDI (channel 1 (2, 3, 4)) t SDI (channel 5 (6, 7, 8)) t AES/EBU t ANA(analog) t SDI (channel 1 (2, 3, 4))... Press the INPUT button to confirm the input signal selections.

Mixing setting mode (the MIX indicator flashes):

The buttons in the lower row (REC row) select the tracks (audio channels on the tape) to contain the mixed signals. In the audio setting display section, the MIX indicator for the corresponding track flashes. The buttons in the upper row (EXT row) select the input channel signals to record on the corresponding track. By pressing two buttons at the same time, you can specify that the signals of two input channels be mixed for recording. For example, if you want to record the mixed signals of input channels 1 and 4 on track 3, press the CH3 button in the lower row (REC row), and then simultaneously press the CH1 and CH4 buttons in the upper row (EXT row).

Note

Before selecting signals from two input channels

Chapter 2 Location and Function of Parts

for recording in one recorder channel, check to be sure that the emphasis settings (ON or OFF) of the two input channels are the same. Recording and playback of mixed signals cannot be carried out correctly if the emphasis settings are different. For audio tracks with emphasis on, the EMPH indicator in the audio setting display section lights.

Monitor signal selection mode (the input signal indicator and the MIX indicator do not flash):

The buttons in the upper and lower rows select tracks to be output to the MONITOR OUTPUT L and R connectors on the connector panel or the PHONES jack on the upper control panel. The buttons in the upper row (L row) select tracks for output to the MONITOR OUTPUT L connector, and the buttons on the lower row (R row) select tracks for output to the MONITOR OUTPUT R connector. You can obtain the mixed output of multiple tracks by simultaneously pressing multiple buttons in the upper or lower rows. For example, simultaneously press the CH1, CH2, and CH3 buttons in the upper row to mix the signals of audio tracks 1, 2, and 3 for output to the MONITOR OUTPUT L connector. To monitor channels 5 to 8 in MPEG IMX playback, press the CUE button to switch between CH1 to CH4 and CH5 to CH8, and then select the desired channels.

Adjusting the audio recording levels

When carrying out audio recording at a reference level

Leave the REC controls pressed in. The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level (a reference 0 dB indication for an input of +4 dBm).

Manually adjusting the recording levels

For each channel, press to protrude the REC control in

Chapter 4 Recording and Playback

the upper control panel, and adjust so that the audio level indication is 0 dB for an average volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description of the REC button in the tape transport control section (page 2-10) and the PB/EE setting in function menu HOME page (page 11-3).

To change the display range of the audio level indications

Press the DISPLAY FULL/FINE button (see page 2-4).

To use the emphasis function

To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or analog playback audio signal, set the EMPHSS to ON (see page 11-6). 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 11-3) 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

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.

Chapter 4 Recording and Playback

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

•The time code (SMPTE RP188) present in an SDI signal input to the unit

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

2 Perform the following settings in function menu

page 1.

•When synchronizing to an external time code output (LTC) or the time code (VITC) in an input video signal:

TCG (F1): EXT TCG (F2): REGEN VITC: ON (when recording VITC) TCR: LTC or VITC according as you are

synchronizing to LTC or VITC (If set to AUTO, LTC is used.)

•When synchronizing to the time code (SMPTE RP188) in an SDI signal:

TCG (F1): RP188 TCG (F2), VITC, TCR: Any setting

Note

When the TCG (F1) is set to RP188, when settings of the TCG (F1) and VID.IN conflict with each other, or when the input signal selected with the VID.IN is not present, the TCG (F1) setting display flashes.

5-1 Automatic Editing

Chapter 5 Editing

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

5-1-1 Overview

Editing mode

•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.

Sequence of editing operations

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

(page 5-7)

(page 5-6)

(page 5-8)

(page 5-9)

Chapter 5 Editing

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 TCG (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.

Using an editing control unit

When controlling this unit with an editing control unit, set an edit delay on the editing control unit so that cut in and cut out instructions are output 5 frames before the actual edit point.

Notes on video output to the monitor

In E-E mode, the video output of the unit is delayed by the time for video circuit processing with respect to the input video signal (8H). Unlike the playback operations described in Chapter 4, for playback to be carried out in editing mode with both the player and recorder specified, you can use setup menu item 701 to delay the SYNC phase, delaying it by 8H.

press the PLAY button.

Editing ends, and the recorder continues with playback.

7 Press the STOP button to stop the recorder

playback.

5-3-5 Preread Editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as this unit uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance from the tape. The signals read out can be send to a mixer for mixing, and can be recorded either on the original channels or on other digital audio channels. For preread editing, set the PREREAD to ON (see page 11-8).

1 Press the RECORDER button, turning it on. 2 Use the search dial in jog or shuttle mode to find

the editing start point (the recorder IN point), and stop the tape just before this point.

Notes

•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 OUTREF in function menu page 4 to REF, and set item 309 in the extended setup menu to AUTO 1 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 PB/EE in function menu HOME page to PB. 2 Set the PREREAD in function menu page 4 to ON. 3 Make the necessary connections for the preread

editing.

Chapter 5 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.

Chapter 6 Shot Mark Function

This unit can record shot marks or use shot marks recorded in digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, or Betacam SX format.

Types of shot mark

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

Shot mark type

Recording start mark

Shot mark 1 and shot mark 2

Post mark

Writing on a camcorder, etc.

Automatically written at the start of recording.

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

Not written (Written only on this unit)

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).

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.

Shot marks are indications at desired points on a tape which enable faster cueing.

post marks, treating them as varieties of shot marks.

Chapter 6 Shot Mark Function

Cueing 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).

Shot data display

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 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.

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.

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

Chapter 7 Tele-File

Tele-File is a non-contact data carrier system. Tele-File increases the efficiency of data management and operations such as recording, playback, and editing by enabling information to be exchanged between VTRs with data reading and writing functions and cassettes with Tele-File labels.

Memory label

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 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

Data library management with handy reader/writer

An optional handy reader/writer (supporting Memory Stick) is available to facilitate data library management.

8-1 Overview of UMID Functions

Chapter 8 UMID Functions

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a type of meta-data in video and audio materials. It has been internationally standardized in SMPTE Standard 330M. This unit supports recording and generation of UMIDs. The UMID is made up of a section called the “Basic” section and a section called the “Source Pack” section. The Basic section contains information such as the

UMID Basic

Source Pack

device that recorded the material and whether the material is the original or a copy. The Source Pack section contains information about when/where/who recorded the material. A UMID with a Basic section only is called a Basic UMID. A UMID with both Basic and Source Pack sections is called an Extended UMID. The following figure shows a general overview of the information contained in a UMID.

Instance Number Copy or original

Material Number Which device recorded the original

Date/Time When was it recorded

Spatial Co-ordinates Where was it recorded

Stored Ownership Who recorded it

8-1 Overview of UMID Functions

8-2 Recording UMIDs

UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals with this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or automatically or forcibly generate a new UMID.

Selecting the type of UMID to record

Select whether to record a Basic UMID or an Extended UMID by using setup menu item 655 UMID RECORDING.

See page 12-18 for more information about setup menu item

655.

Selecting whether to inherit or generate the UMID

When recording a UMID, you can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or generate a new UMID. Make this selection by using setup menu item 656 MATERIAL NO.

See page 12-19 for more information about setup menu item

656.

Selecting the Instance Number generation method when inheriting UMIDs

Chapter 8 UMID Functions

If you choose to inherit the UMID contained in input signals, almost all of the information in the UMID is copied without change, but the Instance Number changes to a value which indicates that “this UMID is a copy”. The new value can be generated from a 16-bit pseudo-random number with the addition of the number of copies (1 byte), or it can be generated from a 24-bit pseudo-random number. Select the method used to generate the Instance Number by using setup menu item 654 UMID GENERATE METHOD.

Selecting the SDI VANC line to insert the UMID

You can select the VANC 1) line into which the generated UMID should be inserted. Make this selection by using setup menu item 652 UMID SD VANC LINE.

See page 12-18 for more information about setup menu item

652.

Note

UMID data in the input signal may not be readable if the line where UMID data is inserted into SDI input signals is the same as the line where this unit inserts VITC (setup menu item 601 (page 12-16) and setup menu item 602 (page 12-16)), or if that line is subject to blanking (setup menu item 723 (page 12-24)). In cases like these, change the setup menu settings.

To avoid the above situation, the following settings are recommended.

•For setup menu item 652, chose a line that is different from the lines chosen for setup menu items 601 and

602.

•Do not use setup menu item 723 (page 12-24) to blank the line chosen for setup menu item 652.

To set Stored Ownership

If you wish to set Stored Ownership (data in the Source Pack which indicates “who”) when generating a UMID, call up item 029 STORED OWNERSHIP in the setup menu and proceed as follows.

See Section 12-2 “Setup Menu Operations” (page 12-2) for more information about basic setup menu operations.
