Chapter 1 Overview

1-1-1 Features of the HDW-F500

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

HDcam Format

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:

•Bandwidth restrictions 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) 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 S002B) standards, and subjects it to 3:1:1 bandwidth restriction, 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/ 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.

/2-inch HDcam cassette, the

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

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

Chapter 1 Overview

Advanced Recording and Playback Functions

High-quality digital recording

The HDcam system uses a component system to record video signals. An AES/EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 4-channel audio recording. A unique and powerful error correction circuit and concealment circuit are used in digital signal processing. Accurate, stable video signal output is made possible by setting and adjusting an internal digital video processor.

8 kinds of record/playback modes

As the record/playback mode, you can select from the following 8 modes.

59.94i/60i/50i/23.98PsF/24PsF/25PsF/29.97PsF/30PsF

HD pull down

By installing an optional HD Pull Down Board HKDV-507, the HD SDI output (to which the audio signal and VITC are multiplexed) of 59.94i or 60i mode are also available when the unit is operated in the 23.98PsF or 24PsF mode.

Noiseless playback with DT heads

Using the playback DT heads, you can perform noiseless playback at 51 speeds ranging from –1 to +2 times normal speed, including still-picture playback.

Video and audio confidence heads

Video and audio (channels 1 through 4) signals can be recorded and simultaneously played back to check the recording.

Capstan override function

You can adjust the playback speed by ±15% to ensure synchronization between, for example, two VTRs playing back the same program.

Independent level controls

The recording and playback levels of each of the four audio channels can be adjusted independently while peak values on all four audio channels are monitored.

Features for Ease of Operation

Compact, lightweight, low power consumption

The VTR is small and light enough to be used in outside broadcast vans or in EFP (Electronic Field Production) assignments.

Remote control operation

The VTR has a serial RS-422A 9-pin connector to allow control of the VTR by an external control unit through RS-422A communications. The VTR also comes with 9-pin REMOTE1-IN(9P) and OUT(9P) connectors to support bridge connection of multiple HDW-F500 units or other VTRs equipped with 9-pin remote connectors for simultaneous operation. Furthermore, by using the optional BKDW-509 Parallel (50-pin) Interface Kit, you can control the VTR from an external control unit with a parallel interface.

Digital hours meter

Three different hour displays and one cycle count display are supported, showing total elapsed time since the VTR was turned on, total drum revolution time, total tape running time and total number of threadings and unthreadings.

Internal time code generator and reader

The internal time code generator allows you to record time code (LTC or user bits) together with video and audio signals. Time codes (LTC or user bits) can be read during playback using the time code reader.

Computer servo system

Computer-controlled servo motors provide direct drive for the drum, capstan, and two reels, enabling quick and accurate tape access.

1-2 Chapter 1 Overview

Self-diagnosis

This function allows the VTR to perform self diagnostics when a malfunction occurs. An error message is displayed and a history of all errors that have occurred is recorded.

Easy-to-maintain plug-in boards

The VTR uses plug-in circuit boards to simplify servicing and inspection.

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 4-46.

Selecting the time data display

Press the [F1] (TIMER SEL) button repeatedly to select the desired time data display.

CTL: Counts the CTL signals on the playback tape

or the CTL signals being recorded on the tape, and displays the tape running time in hours, minutes, seconds, and frames.

TC: Displays the value read by the time code reader

or the value generated by the time code generator. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.

UBIT: Displays user bits data inserted in time code

being played back, or the user bits data inserted in time code being recorded. To switch between VITC and LTC, press the [F5] (TCR SEL) button.

Chapter 4 Menu Settings

Time data for IN, OUT, AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT points are also displayed.

1) LTC and VITC

LTC cannot be read when the tape speed is very slow or is changed suddenly. VITC, on the other hand, can be read more accurately than LTC when the VTR is stopped or the tape speed is very low. VITC, however, cannot be read when the tape speed is very fast.

2) CTL signals

CTL (control) signals are pulse signals that are recorded horizontally in each frame.

3) User bits

Comprising a part of the time code, user bits record supplementary information and consist of an eight-digit number or hexadecimal A to F.

Note

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

•When the [F7] (TCG MODE) button is set to regene, the drop frame mode is inoperative since the time code generator is synchronized to the playback time code.

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).

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.
