1-1 Features
Chapter 1 Overview
The MSW-M2100/M2100P/M2100E/M2100EP 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.

High-performance heads and compatibility
playback function
Chapter 1 Overview
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

Chapter Overview
Network interface function (MSW-M2100E/
M2100EP only)
The MSW-M2100E/M2100EP is equipped with an
Ethernet
a 10/100/1000Base-T network to transfer video, audio,
and metadata as MXF files. MXF (Material Exchange
Format) is a file format that stores video, audio, and
metadata in a single package. It enables
communication between network devices such as
VTRs and servers.

a)
connector, enabling the VTR to be added to
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.
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.
Chapter 1 Overview
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.

1 MONITOR OUTPUT R connector (XLR 3-pin,
male)
This outputs the audio signals whose output
destination was set to ‘R’ with the audio signal
selection buttons in the audio control section. If
multiple tracks have been set to ‘R’, the signals of
those tracks are mixed for output.
2 MONITOR OUTPUT L connector (XLR 3-pin,
male)
This outputs the audio signals whose output
destination was set to ‘L’ with the audio signal
selection buttons in the audio control section. If
