Chapter 1 Overview

The HDW-2000/M2000/M2000P is a high-definition (HD) digital videocassette recorder based on the HDCAM 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), lightweight, and low power consumption design. In addition to HDCAM format recording and playback, the unit can also play back tapes recorded in the digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, Betacam SX, and analog Betacam formats.

HDCAM format

The HDCAM format uses the same 12.65-mm width tape as the conventional Betacam series. It provides high definition images, offering up to two hours of recording. For video signal compression, prefiltration and coefficient recording technologies are used.

High-precision digital signal processing and range of interfaces

Chapter 1 Overview

The digital signal processing uses HD 4:2:2 component video signals complying with SMPTE 292M, which are converted into parallel data and then compressed into HDCAM format. The audio signals are based on AES/EBU format, and are subjected to digital signal processing without being compressed.

The unit is equipped with a high definition to standard definition (HD to SD) downward converter, and has the following interfaces as standard equipment, for ease of connection to different external devices.

• SD analog composite signal output

• SD analog component signal output

• Analog audio signal input/output (4 channels)

• HDSDI SMPTE 292M input/output (HD digital video/audio, 4 channels)

• SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/ audio, 4 channels)

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

• SDTI SMPTE 305M input/output (HDCAM video/ audio data)

• Time code input/output

Control (CTL) track

a) Supplemental Automatic Tracking signal

Time code track

High-performance heads and compatibility functions

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 HDCAM recording and playback heads, the unit is equipped with Betacam SX playback heads and analog Betacam DT heads, for compatibility with existing recording formats. The VTR automatically detects the recording format of tapes when they are loaded, so that no menu settings need to be made when changing formats.

High quality four-channel audio

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

Recording and playback of SDTI compressed data (optional)

This unit can be fitted with SDTI input/output complying with SMPTE 305M, and can therefore be used for transferring HDCAM data, audio data, metadata, and so on to a VTR or nonlinear device via an SDTI interface.

Multifunction control panel

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

Chapter 1 Overview 1-1

1-1 Features

Chapter 1 Overview

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.

DMC editing

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.

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.

Cross-fade editing

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

High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved through unique multihead playback technology. In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as for 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.

Downward converter function

The unit has an HD-to-SD downward converter function, and can output standard definition SDI, analog component and analog composite signals even while playing back an HDCAM format tape.

Upward converter function (HDW-M2000/ M2000P only)

The HDW-M2000/M2000P features a standard definition to high definition (SD-to-HD) upward converter as standard equipment. This allows highquality HD signals to be output even when playing back tapes recorded in formats other than HDCAM.

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.

1-2 Chapter 1 Overview

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.

Rack mounting

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.
