Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 MAV-555SS Overview

Chapter 1 Overview

The MAV-555SS is a multi-access video disk recorder that supports Super Motion Camera recording of video conforming to the MPEG-2 4:2:2 Profile@Main Level compression format, yielding an excellent image quality. The MAV-555SS is also capable of simultaneous recording of Super Motion images and playback in Sony Super Motion mode (henceforth, SS mode) or Standard Motion mode (henceforth, SD mode). These two motion modes can be selected from the setup menu. High compatibility with VTR-based editing systems is preserved by a VTR-like interface, with the added benefits of high-speed search functions and nonlinear editing made possible by hard disk recording. In SS mode, the internal hard disk drive (henceforth, HDD) provides a maximum recording time of 6 hours and 20 minutes (30 Mbps/16-bit audio). Recording bit rates of 30, 40, or 50 Mbps can be selected. Input/output can be

1-2 Features

configured as 1 input/1 output. The signal type is SDI (4:2:2) for video input/output. AES/EBU is available for audio input/output. In SD mode, the HDD provides a maximum recording time of 19 hours and 20 minutes (30 Mbps/16-bit audio). Recording bit rates of 30, 40, or 50 Mbps can be selected. Input/output can be configured as 2 input/2 output, 1 input/ 3 output, or 3 input/1 input. The signal type is SDI (4:2:2) for video input/output. SDI (4:2:2) and AES/EBU are available for audio input/output. Regardless of the motion mode, installing optional boards (BKMA-513, BKMA-570) allows the use of analog input and output. An optional dedicated control panel (BKMA-505) is available for real-time control of recording and playback, nonlinear editing, and more.

For details about the SD and SS modes, see Section 3-1, “MAV555SS Modes” (page 3-1).

■ SS mode only

Super Motion video and audio synchronized playback

In SS mode in the 1 input/1 output configuration, you can record video with an image quality 3 times sharper than normal and perform synchronized playback of video and audio.

Easy changing between the SS and SD modes

When the MAV-555SS is not in SS mode, it is possible to change to SD mode from the setup menu and perform normal operations in 2 input/2 output, 1 input/3 output, and 3 input/1 output configurations.

Material sharing between modes

In SD mode, you can play back (at 1/3 speed) and edit material recorded in SS mode.

Compatible with two different Super Slow cameras

The MAV-555SS simultaneously supports three SDI inputs from the BVP-9500WS System (Sony Super Motion Camera System) and provides one SDI Super Motion output. It can do the same for the Philips LDK23 Camera System. Switch between these two formats from the setup menu.

The MAV-555SS is equipped with the “BVE mode”, an operation mode that provides the unit with linear editing capabilities. If the operation mode is switched to BVE mode, the MAV-555SS recording and playback ports are integrated, and the recorder can then be used as a recording/playback VTR. This mode allows the MAV555SS to be connected to editing machines such as the BVE-600 or the BVE-2000 as a “recorder/player”. Note that in other modes the MAV-555SS playback port can still be connected to editing machines such as the BVE-600 or the BVE-2000 as a “player”.

The following functions are supported when using the BVE mode.

• Independent audio channel editing of up to 4 channels.

• Operation of the optional MAVE-F555 editing panel and the MAVE-D555 dial panel.

• Control by LTC from a BVE editor.

• Auto Assembly editing from a BVE editor.

Ability to record asynchronous signals

By setting the standard signals of each recording port as input signals, input signals that are asynchronous with the reference signals can be recorded.

3-4 Setup

Chapter 3 Preparations

Carry out the principal settings required before using this unit by menu operations. The setup menus on this unit consist of the Basic menu and the Expansion menu, and these menus include the following items.

• Basic menu............Application selection, content and

position of superimposed text information, 525 (NTSC) or 625 (PAL) selection, HDD and RAID settings, bit rate selection, and other settings.

• Expansion menu....REC INHIBIT settings for

individual ports, audio/video control, and other settings.

Settings made in the Basic and Expansion menus can be saved on a memory card (sold separately) and read as required. All banks (bank 1 to bank 3) can be saved at once, or each bank can be saved and read separately. Up to 10 banks can be saved or read. The following memory cards (sold separately) can be used:

Supported format ATA flash card: PCMCIA 2.0 (JEIDA 4.1), PCMCIA

ATA 1.02, Type 2-compatible Capacity: 8 MB or higher Recommended product: “MemoryStick” + adapter

MSA-8AN (8 MB) “MemoryStick”

MSAC-PC2N PC card adapter

Note

Data recorded with the MAV-555/555A is incompatible with the MAV-555SS, and vice-versa.

This section lists the contents of the menus, and describes how to make settings.

How to Read the Tables

• In the “Settings” column, values enclosed in squares are defaults.

About the Display

• The monitor screen and time data display on the front panel show the item number, the item name, and the setting value.

• The upper and lower dots of the colon displayed between the item number and name may either flash or remain lit, indicating the following conditions.

Upper dot

Lower dot

(1) Items that take effect immediately or items that take

effect after the system has been rebooted. For items that take effect immediately, the lower colon dot lights up, and for items that take effect after rebooting, the dot flashes.

(2) Items that can be set for each bank or items with a

common setting for all banks. When items can be set for each bank, the upper colon dot lights up, and when items have a common setting for all banks, the dot flashes.

Example: indicates an item that can

• On the font panel display, the upper dot is displayed alone to indicate items that can be set for each bank and which become effective upon rebooting. On the monitor screen, this is indicated by a dot displayed in the center.

• The letters ‘B’ and ‘I’ appear at the upper right of the setup menu on the monitor screen. ‘B’ indicates that the selected setting item can be set for each BANK independently, and ‘I’ indicates that the selected setting takes effect immediately.

• The distinction between “B” and “I” is also indicated in the “Item number” column.

When the menu bank is modified after power up, the MAV-555SS must be restarted or the FAST REBOOT (menu 027) on the Basic menu must be executed. (Changes in settings made while the power is off do not become effective the next time the power is turned on. It is necessary to start up the system a second time.)

Press the MENU button. A menu item appears in the time counter display in the display panel.

In step 7 above, before pressing the SET button, press the MENU button. This exits the menu mode, without saving the settings.

To change the menu display group by group

To change the menu display group by group, press the CHROMA button (it is not necessary to hold down the button). In this state, turning the MENU control moves from one

menu group to the next. To return to the MAIN MENU display, press the CHROMA button once more, or click the MENU control.

Setting

Turn the MENU control to select the item you want to change. Turning the MENU control clockwise increases the item number, and turning it counterclockwise decreases the item number.

Press the MENU control once. This allows the setting to be changed, and the setting value flashes.

Modes of operating the MENU control

It is possible to select either of two modes in which the MENU control operates when selecting items or changing settings: either the value changes only when you turn the control, or the value continues changing even when you stop turning. Normally, the state is such that when you use the MENU control to select items or change settings, the value changes only when you turn the MENU control (the value stops changing when you stop turning). However, if you press the SETUP/BLACK button, turning on the PRESET indicator above and to the left of the MENU control, the menu item or setting continues changing even when you stop turning. To stop the change when the PRESET indicator is lit, do any of the following:

Menu items with submenus

The procedure for making settings in a menu including a submenu is slightly different from that described above in Section 3-4-2, “Basic Menu Operation”.

Menus including a setting submenu

This type of menu item has a number of parameters to be set within a single menu item. Use the following procedure in this type of menu.

Carry out steps 1 to 3 of the procedure at the beginning of this Section 3-4-2, “Basic Menu Operation”, and select a menu item. The following example shows menu item 034.

Press the MENU control once. This calls the submenu, and the display appears as follows.

To save the changed settings, press the SET button. This saves the settings, and the display returns to showing a time value.

Menus containing executable submenus

Executable submenus perform operations such as formatting replacement HDDs. Names of these menu items are preceded by a hyphen, “–”. Use the following procedure with this type of menu item. See the next page for the procedure to use with menu number 010.

Carry out steps 1 to 3 of the procedure at the beginning of this Section 3-4-2, “Basic Menu Operation”, and select menu item 098, 099, or 027. The following example shows menu item 027.

5-5-1 Port Configuration

In BVE mode, the playback port (P1) is integrated with the recording port (R1), and can be used as a linear editing recorder. (The integrated recording/playback port is called the “RP port.”) When using a 2 input/2 output configuration, the R2 port becomes a collection-only port. When using a 1 input/3 output configuration, the P2 and P3 ports become playback-only ports.

Files are loaded to the RP port and to the P2 and P3 ports from the control panel or the MAVE-F555. The collection file is loaded automatically to the R2 port. (It is not possible to manually load any other file to this port.)

5-5-2 Basic Operation of the RP Port

The RP port is intended for use as a linear editing recorder. Once a file is loaded through the RP port, insert and assemble editing can be performed on that file just as with a normal recording/playback VTR. Connect the RS-422 cable for the RP port to the REMOTE IN2 connector.

5-5-4 Basic Operation of the P2 and

P3 Ports

The P2 port operates in the same manner in BVE mode as it does in panel mode. It can be used as the PLAYER side for linear editing and as an output port. When using a 2 input/2 output configuration, the file being collected through the R2 port can also be loaded to the P2 port. Furthermore, when using a 1 input/3 output configuration, output through the P3 port can be controlled through the control panel or the MAVE-F555. Connect the RS-422 cable for the P2 port to the REMOTE IN4 connector. Connect the RS-422 cable for the P3 port to the REMOTE IN3 connector.

To stop playback, press the STOP key on the control panel.

When copying existing files, a number is added at the end of the original file name.

If, in the case of the above example, the Load Copy operation is performed directly on the file “Program.2”, the system will attempt to create “Program.3”. However, since “Program.3” already exists, the system will start a new branch of numbers as follows:

The last digit at the end of the file name indicates the number of times Load Copy was executed, while the portion of the name preceding the last “dot” indicates the original file name. If multiple branches of duplicates are made from the original file, a letter is inserted before the last “dot” in the file name.

R2 Port Collection BG#XXXX RP Port New Files NEW#XXXX

*Where “XXXX”, a simple 4-digit number, is added.

Example: Executing Load Copy on a file named “Program” First time Load Copy is executed: Program.1 Second time Load Copy is executed: Program.2 Third time Load Copy is executed: Program.3

5-5-5 New File Names

When files are collected on the R2 Port, and new files are assigned to the RP Port, they are assigned new file names as shown below.

If Load Copy is executed repeatedly, the file names will gradually become longer; if it is no longer possible to add more characters, the name “%LongName” will be used. In addition, if all branches have been used (i.e., Load Copy has been used to generate file names from “ProgramA.1” to “ProgramZ.1”) the name “%MaxBranch” will be used. Because these alternate names do not bear any relation to the name of the original file, rename such duplicates with a shorter file name as soon as possible.

5-5-6 Monitoring the RP Port

When either the R1 or P1 key is pressed, both R1 and P1 light to indicate that the RP port is selected. However, the monitored output differs according to which key was pressed.

When the R1 key was pressed

In this status, you will see “Inp Adj” displayed in the upper left corner of the display panel. Signals applied to the R1 input terminal are also present at the monitor output. The status is the same as INPUT CHECK with a VTR. Audio volume and input signal selection at the meter panel apply to the recording material for INSERT/ASSEMBLE operation.

5-5-7 Pre-roll Time

When using this unit as the player during DMC editing, the setting should be at least five seconds. Also, with DMC editing, the insertion point may be displaced by one frame.

5-5-8 File Backup Function

If the power to the MAV-555SS is accidentally cut while you are editing a file, the "Backupxxxxx" file (where xxxxx is the date, for example: 05.20-14:00) is automatically created. Therefore, if this happens and the edited file is deleted, you can continue editing using the backup file. However, if the edited file is unloaded before the power is cut, backup is not possible. Further, because the cut point information is not saved along with the backup file, you cannot perform cut jumps or trim cuts in this file. You can unload files from the MAVE-D555 and BKMA-

505.

For details about unloading files, refer to the MAVE-D555 and BKMA-505 operation manuals.

5-5-9 Editing-Related Error

Messages

There are some unique editing function-related errors which may occur in BVE mode that do not exist in other modes. These error messages and their remedies are described below.

• This error can be avoided by performing certain operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Edit Entry Full]

The internal area where cut information is stored limits the number of files that can be stored. The [Cut Entry Full] error appears when this limit has been reached, and indicates that no more files can be created for editing. Because an internal temporary file is created when editing through the RP port, editing is no longer possible once this error has been generated.

Remedy:

• When the above error is generated, follow the instructions that are provided in the dialog box that appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the internal cut information area, making further file creation and editing possible.

• This error can be avoided by performing certain operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Rec Inhibit]

This error is generated if an attempt was made to record or edit while the recording port or RP port was in the “Rec Inhibit” state, or an attempt was made to record or edit a file with file protection on.

Remedy: Cancel “Rec Inhibit” or file protection in order to record or edit.

[Material Entry Full]

The MAV-555SS material management information is full; no files can be created.

Remedy: Unneeded files are deleted.

Chapter 5 Basic Functions of Each Mode

[Cut Entry Full]

In BVE mode, cut information for the file being edited is stored internally. Although this information cannot be used in linear editing, it can be used as cut information for nonlinear editing when the MAVE-F555 is connected. There is a limit on the number of cuts per file. The [Cut Entry Full] error appears when this limit has been reached, and indicates that the file in question cannot be edited any further.

Remedy:

• When the above error is generated, follow the instructions that are provided in the dialog box that appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the cut information for that file, making further editing on the file possible.

[Nearly Rec Stop]

When editing or recording a collection file in BVE mode, a four-minute area is allocated on the HDD; then, as recording continues, when two minutes of this allocated area is used up, enough area for two more minutes is allocated. This operation repeats as recording continues. This error occurs when the area for two additional minutes cannot be allocated because the disk is full. Once this error is generated, recording/editing stops after two minutes.

Remedy:

• Recording/editing can continue further even after this error is generated if you delete any unnecessary files within two minutes of the moment when this error was generated.

5-5 Basic Operations in BVE Mode 5-9 (E)

Page 86

• This error can be avoided by performing certain operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Rec Stopped]

This error is generated if nothing is done during the two minutes after [Nearly Rec Stop] is generated. The disk is now full, and further recording/editing is not currently possible.

Remedy: Delete any unnecessary files. The next recording operation in the R port will begin from the start of a new file. The next manual recording operation in the RP port will begin from the point where recording was halted. Editing in the RP port stops automatically, and a new editing command must be issued.

[Not Enough Space To Rec]

Because the disk is full, there is not enough space to automatically allocate a four-minute area. Recording/ editing is not possible.

Remedy:

Chapter 5 Basic Functions of Each Mode

Create free space by deleting any unnecessary files. Once free space has been created, the four-minute area will be allocated automatically and the error will be cancelled.

[Too Much Fragmentation]

Too many fragmented files have been recorded on the HDD and the limit of processing has been exceeded.

Remedy From the playback port play back the files that you have been editing, then by recording the files as new files on the recording port you can continue editing.

[Temp. File Protected]

The temporary file that you are using in the BVE mode has been protected in another mode.

Remedy In any mode other than BVE mode, check the names of the files. If any file is prefixed with a percent symbol (%), set Protect Off.
