Chapter 1 Overview
The HDW-S2000/S2000P 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, this unit can also play back tapes recorded in
the 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.

Chapter 1 Overview
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-precision digital signal processing
and range of interfaces
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.
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.
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.
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 input/output
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.
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.
1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
Page 9
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.
DMC editing
This allows automatic editing with a varying playback
speed memorized beforehand for an edit 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 recording,
playback and editing, and source data management.
Remote control function
Chapter 1 Overview
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.
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 unit is in recording or playback mode. You can
use the setup menu to switch the display mode
between PEAK.0 (0 dB is maximum level) and
REF.0 (0 dB is the reference level). You can also
use the DISPLAY FULL/FINE button 2 to
enlarge the display only near the reference level.
Input channel indicator: Indicates the input channel
from which audio signals are recorded on the
audio track. Two numbers light to indicate that
signals from the corresponding input channels are
mixed for recording.
Monitor channel L and R indicators: Indicate
whether or not the signals of the track are output
to the MONITOR OUTPUT L/R connectors and
PHONES jack. ‘L’ lights to indicate output to the
left monitor channel, and ‘R’ lights to indicate
output to the right monitor channel.
EMPH (emphasis) indicator: While the unit is in
recording or playback mode, this lights when the
emphasis setting is on for the audio signal on the
corresponding track.
4 Audio monitor signal selection buttons (CH1 to
CH4, and 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.
When the CH1 to CH4 buttons are pressed, the
selected signal cycles between HDSDI t AES/
EBU t ANA(LOG) t HDSDI.

, or playback mode.
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). The settings
for signal mixing become valid when the MIXING
button is pressed.
Note
Before selecting signals from two input channels
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.
The EMPH indicator in the audio setting display
section lights for channels with the emphasis
setting on.
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.

Adjusting the audio recording levels
To use the emphasis function
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
–20 dB indication for an input of +4 dBm).
Manually adjusting the recording levels
For each channel, press to protrude the REC control in
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
2-11) and the PB/EE setting in function menu HOME page
(page 9-3).
To change the display range of the audio
level indications
Press the DISPLAY FULL/FINE button (see page
2-5).
To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or
analog playback audio signal, set the EMPHSS to ON
(see page 9-6).
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

Setting a user bit value
The user bit values recorded on the time code track
provide for eight hexadecimal digits, which can be
used to hold the date, time, or other information.
Use the following procedure.
1 Set the CTL/TC to UB.
2 Carry out the procedure in steps 2 to 6 under the
heading above, “Setting an initial time code
value”.
You can set each digit to any hexadecimal value,
SET EXIT
represented by 0 to 9, and A to F.
Note
If any of the settings in item G03 (see page 6-3) of the
shot mark operation menu is set to ON (to write a
recording start mark), then the user bits are overwritten
with the shot mark data for 20 frames from the start of
recording in crash record mode, assemble edit mode,
or insert edit mode.
Pressing the F2 (t) button moves the flashing
digit position to the right, and pressing the F1 (T)
button moves the flashing digit position to the left.

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.
• 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 (LTC and VITC) present in the
HDSDI signal input to the unit
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an
external signal, use the following procedure.
Z
• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the
HDSDI signal input to this unit:
TCG (F1): SDI
PR/RGN (F2): LTC
• To synchronize to VITC data contained in the
HDSDI signal input to this unit:
TCG (F1): SDI
PR/RGN (F2): 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.
Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1)
is set to EXT or SDI has the effect as setting PR/
RGN (F2) to LTC.

5-1 Automatic Editing
Chapter 5
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
With this unit, you can use the following two edit
modes for automatic editing.
• 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.
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
PR/RGN (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.
Chapter 5 Editing
You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes.
In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

player are set, the PREVIEW button and AUTO
EDIT button flash, and it becomes possible to
carry out a preview or editing operation.
Automatic setting of edit points
Editing requires four edit points: the IN and OUT
points on both the recorder and player. However, once
any three of these points are defined, the last point is
set automatically. For example, if you set the recorder
IN and OUT points, and the player IN point, the player
OUT point is set automatically.
Note
In the following cases, the DELETE button begins to
flash and you cannot carry out automatic editing.
• The OUT point is before the IN point.
•All four of the recorder IN and OUT points and the
player IN and OUT points have been set.
Use the DELETE button to delete a redundant edit
point, or set the edit points correctly.

Split editing requires a total of eight edit points: four
video edit points (player IN and OUT and recorder IN
and OUT) and four audio edit points (player audio IN
and OUT and recorder audio IN and OUT). However,
as soon as you set five points, the system automatically
calculates and sets the remaining three points.
Specifically, once you have set three of the four video
edit points and two audio edit points, the remaining
three edit points are set automatically, regardless of
whether these points are for the recorder or player.

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 9-7).

5-3 Special Automatic Editing Methods
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 F2 (OUTREF)(see page 9-7) in
function menu page 4 to REF, and set item 309 in the
extended setup menu to AUTO1 (see page 10-15) 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.
Chapter 5 Editing
1 Set F2 (PB/EE) in function menu HOME page to

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.
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
Chapter 6
Shot Mark Function
to the list. This is not written on the tape itself.
Cuing 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
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.

Tele-File
7-1 Overview of Tele-File Functions
Chapter 7
Tele-File is a non-contact data carrier system.
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.
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
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
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.
UMID Basic Instance Number
Source Pack Date/Time
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.
