1-1 Features
Chapter 1 Overview
The HDW-M2100/M2100P is a high-definition (HD)
digital videocassette player 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 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) (option)
• Time code input/output
• CUE audio output
Control (CTL) track
a) Supplemental Automatic Tracking signal
Time code track
High-performance heads and compatibility
playback functions
The newly developed high-performance heads and
dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide highdensity playback in narrow tracks with high reliability.
In addition to HDCAM playback heads, the unit is
equipped with Betacam SX playback heads and analog
Betacam DT heads, for playback 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.
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.
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.
DMC editing
This allows automatic playback with a varying speed
memorized beforehand for the desired segment.
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
The unit features a standard definition to high
definition (SD-to-HD) upward converter as standard
equipment. This allows high-quality 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 cuing up and
playback, 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.
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.

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 CH5 to CH8 in MPEG IMX playback,
press the CUE button to switch between CH1 to CH4
and CH5 to CH8, and then select the desired channels.
4 PB (playback) controls
These adjust individually the playback levels on

indication on the level meters in the audio setting
display section.
When the control knobs are pushed in, the playback
levels return to the preset levels, and cannot be
adjusted.
3 Menu control buttons
These buttons are used for function menu (see the
following section “Overview of the function menu”)
and setup menu (see Chapter 9) operations. The page
buttons (V, v, and HOME) select menu pages, and the
