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
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.

, 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.
