Chapter 1 Overview

1-1-1 Features of the SRW-5000/ SRW-5500

The SRW-5000/ video cassette recorder using the HDCAM-SR format. It is a small and light unit incorporating LSIs for signal processing and is comparable to the HDCAM HDW-F500 in size, weight and functionality. The SRW-5500 only is a recorder supporting both the HDCAM-SR and HDCAM formats.

HDCAM-SR Format

The HDCAM-SR format exploits technological advances in signal processing and magnetic recording, to provide functionality comparable to that of the HDCAM format, while offering HD digital recording and playback with high image and sound quality. The technology incorporated in this unit includes the following.

•Highly efficient and mild data compression using newly developed MPEG-4 Studio Profile.

• 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.

These technologies allow 120 minutes of recording on an HDCAM-SR cassette (L type), the same size as the HDCAM cassette.

Digital Signal Processing

In this unit, 4:2:2 component video signals obtained by quantization according to ITU-R709, SMPTE 274M and BTA S-002B (SMPTE 260M) are compressed using MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Audio signals are processed uncompressed, according to the AES/EBU format.

Input interface

The input interface is based on the HDSDI (HD Serial Digital Interface) format BTA S-004B/005B/006B (SMPTE 291M/292M/299M) and ARIB STD B-4, allowing a single BNC coaxial cable to carry one component video signal, twelve digital audio channels, and time code in time division multiplex; this is

SRW-5500

is a high-definition digital

model

separated for conversion to parallel data. Audio recording can be switched between the digital audio signal multiplexed with the HD SDI signal and the audio signal from an AES/EBU digital interface.

Bit rate reduction encoder

The component video signal undergoes frame shuffling. It is then compressed by a process in which it is subjected to DCT (discrete cosine transform) or DPCM (differential pulse code modulation), quantization control, and variable length word encoding. This is the core of the newly developed MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Interlaced signals are compressed in fields and progressive signals are compressed in frames.

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. Reed-Solomon codes are 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-SR format adopts a scrambled i-NRZ channel coding system, giving consideration to off-track and noise characteristics.

Playback signal processing

The playback digital signal is equalized by an equalizer circuit. It then passes powerful inner and outer ECCs which can correct dropouts in the reproduced signal. It further goes through an error concealment circuit to have errors still remaining in the signal rectified.

Output interface

Component video data is converted into serial data and multiplexed with audio data and time code, then output in the HD SDI format. With an HD-SD converter board installed, the unit can output both D1 SDI and analog composite signals. Besides audio data is output as digital data multiplexed with the HD SDI signal, it is also output via an AES/ EBU digital interface. Analog data converted from digital data is also provided.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 Features

HDCAM Format

The HDCAM format uses tape with the same 12.65 mm width as the Betacam series to enable recording of up to two hours of high-quality HD video. Video signal compression uses prefilter and coefficient recording technology.

Advanced Recording and Playback Functions

High-quality digital recording

This unit uses a component system to record video signals. An AES/EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 12-channel audio recording. A unique and powerful error correction circuit and concealment circuit are used in digital signal processing. Accurate and stable video signal output is made possible by setting and adjusting the internal digital video processor.

possible, and with the additional installation of an HKSR-5003, conversion from a 4:4:4 signal to a 4:2:2 signal.

Noiseless playback with DT heads

When using the HDCAM-SR or HDCAM format, the dedicated playback DT heads allow you to perform noiseless playback in the range from –1 to +2 times normal speed, including still-picture playback. When using the Digital Betacam format, the playback range is from –1 to +3. However, Digital Betacam playback requires the HKSR-5002 (option).

Video and audio confidence heads

Video and audio (channels 1 through 12, or 4 channels for the HDCAM format (SRW-5500 only)) signals can be recorded and simultaneously played back to check the recording.

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.

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 audio level control

It is possible to adjust the recording and playback levels either independently on each channel or simultaneously on all 12 channels (or 4 channels for HDCAM format (SRW-5500 only)) while monitoring the peak values.

Internal format conversion function

By installing an optional HKSR-5001, when the operating mode of this unit is 23.98PsF or 24PsF, a

59.94i or 60i mode HD SDI output (audio/VITC
