1-1 Features

The MSW-M2100/M2100P is a digital videocassette player based on the MPEG IMX 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.

It not only offers playback in MPEG IMX format, but can also play back tapes recorded in Betacam SX format, analog Betacam format, or digital Betacam format.

MPEG IMX format

The MPEG IMX format uses the same 12.65-mm width tape as the conventional Betacam series. This economical format uses 50 Mbps high image quality MPEG-2 compression, and offers up to three hours of recording.

The video signal compression, as in the Betacam SX format, uses MPEG-2, and compressed data can be passed directly without loss of quality, not only to VTRs, but also to other devices with MPEG support, such as nonlinear editors or servers. There is thus high compatibility with the next generation of digital television formats supporting MPEG-2.

The audio tracks allow up to eight channels to be recorded, and this also provides future extensibility for multichannel, multilingual broadcasting, data broadcasting, and so on.

a) Supplemental Automatic Tracking signal

High-performance heads and compatibility playback function

The newly developed high-performance heads and dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide highdensity playback in narrow tracks with high reliability. In addition to the MPEG IMX playback heads, this unit is also equipped with Betacam SX format playback heads, and analog Betacam DT heads, to provide compatibility playback functions, and allowing a wide variety of recorded resources to be used effectively.

High-precision digital signal processing and range of interfaces

The MPEG IMX VTR digital video signal processing uses 4:2:2 component video signals complying with ITU-R Rec 601/SMPTE 259M, which are compressed with ISO/IEC 13818-2000 MPEG-2 compression. While supporting a wide range of signals for output, all of the VTR internal processing is digital, providing high stability and reliability.

The audio signals, similarly, are based on AES/EBU format, and are subjected to digital signal processing while still uncompressed.

The following interfaces are standard equipment, for ease of connection to different external devices.

•Analog composite signal input/output

•Analog component signal output

•Analog audio signal output (4 channels)

•Serial Digital Interface SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/audio, 8 channels)

•AES/EBU serial digital audio output (8 channels)

•SDTI-CP SMPTE 326M output (MPEG video/audio data)

•Time code output

1-1 Features

High image quality MPEG-2 intraframe encoding at 50 Mbps.

The video signal compression uses MPEG-2 intraframe encoding conforming to 4:2:2 Profile @ Main Level, with a 1:3.3 compression ratio; the data is then recorded with a bit rate of 50 Mbps. With the highly efficient MPEG-2 compression, the image quality is high enough to withstand a range of editing and dubbing operations.

The recorded MPEG-2 data can be passed directly to other nonlinear systems, allowing optimum editing with no loss of image quality.

High quality eight-channel audio

High quality 16 bit/48 kHz digital audio is supported. There are eight digital audio output channels, and four analog audio output channels.

To support even higher quality playback, there is a four-channel mode using 24 bit/48 kHz encoding. Thus this unit is eminently suitable not only for multichannel applications, but also for high quality audio editing.

Playback of SDTI compressed data

This unit is fitted with SDTI-CP output complying with SMPTE 326M, and can therefore be used for transferring MPEG-2 data, audio data, metadata, and so on to a VTR or nonlinear device.

Newly developed multifunction control panel

While 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.

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.

Eight-channel audio level meters

The unit has independent audio level meters and playback level controls for all eight channels. The level meters are on the control panel, so that when the panel is used remotely from the main unit it is still easy to check or adjust the audio levels.

1-2 Chapter 1 Overview

High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In digital BETACAM or MPEG IMX format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed. In analog Betacam compatible playback also, similar dedicated DT heads allow noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed, and in Betacam SX format compatible playback, special multi-head playback technology allows noiseless playback from –1 to +2 times normal speed.

In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as a conventional analog VTR.

Wide range of editing functions

Using this unit in combination with a recorder, 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 playback

This allows automatic playback with a varying speed memorized beforehand for the desired segment.

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.
