The PDW-1500 offers the capability to record and play back both MPEG IMX have the flexibility to select from these formats according to their picture-quality needs, or to match their editingformat requirements.

1) MPEG IMX and DVCAM are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

Proxy AV data

Proxy AV data is a low-resolution, MPEG-4 based version of a full-resolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream (a video bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel). Whenever a recording is made, the unit automatically generates proxy AV data from the fullresolution data and records it on the Professional Disc. Proxy AV data is much smaller in size than the fullresolution IMX or DVCAM data. It can be transferred quickly over computer networks, easily edited in the field with laptop computers, and readily used in a wide variety of applications, such as content management on smallscale servers.

High-speed file transfer

The PDW-1500 has two optical heads enabling high-speed file transfer. For high-resolution (MPEG IMX and DVCAM) material, the maximum transfer speed is at about 5-times speed for DVCAM signals and about 2.5-

and DVCAM

streams. Users

Thumbnail search operation

Simply press the THUMBNAIL button and the PDW1500 instantly displays thumbnails on a connected monitor. You can easily cue up the desired scene by guiding the cursor to the corresponding thumbnail and confirming your selection with the SET button.

Scene selection

You can create and play back clip lists of selected clips from the disc, arranged in any order. One disc can store up to 99 clip lists. Clip lists make it simple to perform offline editing in the field for later use with full-scale nonlinear editing systems

Clip audio insert editing

You can perform insert editing on the audio tracks of a recorded clip, in the same way that you edit conventional VTR clips. You can also mix audio signals recorded on the disc with input audio.

Quick picture search by jog and shuttle dials

The PDW-1500 has jog and shuttle dials as a conventional VTR to search picture in a clip. The jog dial is for frameby-frame search at –1 to +1 times normal speed and the shuttle dial is for high-speed search at ±35 times normal speed.

IT-friendly system

In the PDW-1500, clips are recorded as video and audio data files material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the

, etc.).

. This file-based recording system also allows

1-1 Features

unit via an i.LINK

(file access mode, called FAM below) connection—in the same way that a computer reads data files on an external drive. The interfaces include the

S400 (i.LINK) connector, supporting AV/C (Audio/ Video Control) and i.LINK (FAM) protocols, and (network) connector. The (network) connector supports MXF (Material eXchange Format) file transfer capability to exchange contents with other equipment supporting MXF.

1) A clip is created every time recording is stopped.

•Video and audio data are always recorded in empty sections of the disc. Recording begins instantly, even after playback, without overwriting existing video on the disc.

•Recording is done in clip units, which makes it simple to delete a clip immediately after shooting if it is judged to be unneeded.

•During playback, thumbnail lists make it easy to identify clips. The random access nature of the media allows the NEXT and PREV buttons to jump instantly to clip start frames, making it easy to check the video and audio in the clips.

•i.LINK (FAM) or network connections make it possible to transfer clip files at high speed between this unit and remote computers.

2) i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Flexible metadata recording

XDCAM with video and audio data, such as the date and time of shooting, the cameraman, the recording method, and comments about the material. This metadata can be used in applications such as the following.

• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to add titles, comments, and other text data to discs and clips.

• Computer-readable text files can be recorded on the Professional Disc, to allow systematic content management.

• The ability to search metadata for the required audio and video scenes brings greater efficiency to various stages of the video production process (editing, archiving, etc.).

can record various types of metadata together

Supports a variety of interfaces

The PDW-1500 supports a variety of interfaces and is suitable for use with various nonlinear editing systems.

Analog interfaces

Video: The unit can input and output a composite analog

video signal.

Audio: The unit has two audio channels. When in 4-

channel mode, you can input two channels of audio either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. The two audio channels can be output also either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4.

Equipped with i.LINK connector

The i.LINK connector of this unit supports the following two functions.

Input and output of DV streams (AV/C mode)

• DV streams can be output from this unit and recorded on standard DV equipment.

• During MPEG IMX playback, the playback signals can be converted and output as DV streams, allowing you to connect DV-compatible nonlinear editors.

• The output from external DV devices (VTRs, nonlinear editors, etc.) can be input to this unit and recorded on Professional Discs.

Computer access to files (file access mode)

Use of application software which supports the XDCAM

series

enables random access to video, audio, and metadata files on Professional Discs, with the ability to display file lists and perform file-based reads and overwrites. Files can be transferred at high speed, and thumbnail lists of disc contents can be viewed on computer screens.

1) Such software includes the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software and

the XPRI series.

Equipped with network connector

This network connector of unit can be connected to computers and networks to enable high-speed file transfers and display of lists of the video, audio, and metadata files stored on Professional Discs. Workflows can be improved by the ability to use FTP commands to transfer files to remote locations.

Supporting SNMP for service and maintenance

The PDW-1500 is compatible with Sony remote maintenance and monitoring software—an SNMPcompliant application that can monitor and log the hardware’s status in real time via a TCP/IP network. If a malfunction is detected, this system can immediately identify the problem, allowing you to take corrective action.

and soiling which occur after recording can lead to deteriorating playback conditions.

• Aging of disc recording layers Over several decades, the recording layers of optical discs can age and cause deteriorating playback conditions. You can use this function to check archival discs and other discs which have been stored for extended periods, so that you can take action before the deterioration progresses further.

• Deteriorating laser diodes performance The performance of the laser diodes used in optical heads can worsen with age, leading to deteriorating playback conditions. You can use the digital clock to check the total optical output time of optical heads.

For details, see 9-1-1 “Digital Hours Meter” (page 113) about this setting. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for an approximate guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.

3-4 Superimposed Text Information

To prevent playback conditions from deteriorating

Pay attention to the following points when handling discs.

• Do not open disc cartridges and touch discs directly with your hands.

• Do not store for long periods in locations which are dusty or exposed to air circulated by fans.

• Do not store for long periods under high temperatures or in locations exposed to direct sunlight.

If playback conditions have deteriorated

If a yellow or red playback condition mark appears, check the following points.

Whether the disc displays the same playback condition

on other XDCAM devices: If so, the surface of the

disc may be dirty or scratched, or the performance of the recording layers on the disc may have worsened due to age. Do not use discs with these symptoms.

Whether every disc inserted into an XDCAM device

displays the same playback conditions: If so, the

performance of the laser diodes may have deteriorated. Check the total optical output time.

3-5 Handling Discs

3-5-6 To Eject Discs With the Unit

Powered Off

As an emergency measure, disc cartridges can be removed with the unit powered off. However, the cover must be removed. This operation should always be done by a trained service technician.

For details, refer to the Maintenance Manual.

3-5-7 Handling of Discs When

Recording Does Not End Normally (Salvage Function)

Recording processing does not end normally if, for example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected during recording. Because the file system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that point are lost. However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such discs. Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/ standby switch on the front panel is set to standby, because the unit does not enter standby mode until after the end of recording processing.

Notes

• Do not set the POWER switch on the rear panel to off until recording processing has finished and the ACCESS indicator has gone out.

• This function salvages as much recorded material as possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100% restoration cannot be guaranteed.

• Even when this function is used, it is not possible to recover data from immediately before the interruption of recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.

- Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the

interruption of recording.

- Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the

interruption of recording.

Full salvage

When a disc that was manually ejected from a device subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory cannot be used, so processing takes longer than for a quick salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state of the disc). Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.

Insert the disc on which recording did not end normally.

The message “Salvage ?” appears.

Do one of the following.

To salvage

Press the SET button. Processing begins and the message “Executing.” appears.

Notes

• If the REC INH indicator (see page 24) is lit, the message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the write-protect tab to the recording enable position, and insert the disc again.

• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.

A message appears to display the results when processing finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!”, the clips that failed were lost.

To exit without salvaging

Press the RESET button. The state of section where recording was interrupted is saved, but no salvage processing is done. Sections which were recorded normally can be played back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A quick format can be done on the disc, although all of its contents will be lost.)

Note

Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?” appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the unit is powered on.

Chapter 3 Preparations

Quick salvage

When the unit is powered on again after a recording interruption due to power off, with the disc still loaded in the unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 5 seconds.

Setting the recording format

Before recording, it is necessary to set the recording format for each of video and audio.

Note

It is not possible to combine different recording formats on a single disc. When the format of previously recorded sections on the disc does not match the current recording format of this unit, the disc is record inhibited and the REC INH lights.

To adjust the audio recording levels

When carrying out audio recording at a reference level

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 22) to PRESET. The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level. Use the maintenance menu item “AUDIO CONFIG” to set the audio input level and reference level.

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 8-4-2 “Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 108.

To set the video recording format

Use basic menu item 031 “RECORDING FORMAT” to select the video recording format from MPEG IMX 50 Mbps, MPEG IMX 40 Mbps, MPEG IMX 30 Mbps, and DVCAM. The factory default setting is IMX50.

For details of the basic menu operations, see 8-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” on page 88.

To set the audio recording format

When using the MPEG IMX 50Mbps/40Mbps/30Mbps

for video: Use the maintenance menu item “AUDIO

CONFIG” to select 16 bits/8 channels or 24 bits/4 channels. The factory default setting is 16 bits/8 channels.

When using the DVCAM format for video: Selection is

not necessary. The format of 16 bits/4 channels is selected automatically.

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 8-4-2 “Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 108.

Manually adjusting the audio recording levels

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 22) to REC and adjust the ALL/CH-1 and CH-2 to CH-4 adjustment knobs so that the audio level indications on the audio level meters (see page 21) do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

To select the E-E mode, see extended menu item 108 “AUTO EE SELECT.”

To adjust the audio recording levels for channels 1 to 8 simultaneously, set extended menu item 131 “AUDIO VOLUME” to “all” and turn the ALL/CH-1 adjustment knob.

Chapter 4 Recording/Playback

Making thumbnail image settings

As required, you can select which frame to display as a clip’s thumbnail image. (When the unit is shipped from the factory, it is set up to display the first frame as the thumbnail.) For example, if all clips have the same image in their first frames, you can specify a frame a few seconds after the start of the clip, so that thumbnails will not all show the same image.

To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail image

Set extended menu item 143 “INDEX PICTURE POSITION” to a number in the range from 0 to 10, in units of 1 second.

See 8-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 102) for more information about how to make extended menu settings.

4-2 Playback

This section describes playback of video and audio.

Disc playback start position

Although this unit uses optical discs, it is designed to offer the most convenient features of tape playback by VTRs. One of these is the playback start position, which works in the same way as tape, as described below.

After playback stop

The unit stops at the position where the STOP button was pressed. Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the stop position.

After recording

The unit stops at the position where recording ended. To play back a clip, press the PREV button to move to the start frame of any clip, or press the PREV button with the PLAY button held down to move to any position.

4-2-1 Preparations for Playback

Button/switch settings

Before beginning playback, make any necessary button/ switch settings.

After disc insertion

The unit stops at the position of the disc when it was most recently ejected. Press the PLAY button to resume playback at the most recent position. The playback position is saved to the disc when the disc is ejected, which allows playback to start at that position whenever it is loaded into any XDCAM player.

Note

This function is not available when the write-protect tab of the disc is set to the recording disabled position, and when extended menu item 310 “REC INHIBIT” is set to “on.” The REC INH indicator may light when neither of the above are true if the format of recorded sections on the disc is not the same as the recording settings of this unit. In this case, the playback position can be saved to the disc.

5-4Using PDZ-1 Proxy

Browsing Software

When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software installed is connected to this unit, you can transfer the proxy AV data and metadata files recorded on a disc to the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1 enables you to browse the proxy AV data, add or modify metadata (titles, comments, essence marks, etc.), or create a clip list. The modified metadata and the created clip list can then be written back to the disc loaded in this unit.

System requirements

The following are required to use PDZ-1.

• Computer: PC with Intel Pentium III CPU, at least 1 GHz Installed memory: at least 512 MB

• Operating system: Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or higher, or Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 or higher

• Web browser: Internet Explorer 6.0 Service Pack 1 or higher

• DirectX: DirectX 8.1b or higher

To install PDZ-1

Insert the supplied CD-ROM (Proxy Browsing Software PDZ-1) in the CD-ROM drive of the computer and execute the Setup.exe file, then follow the installation instructions.

For details, refer to the ReadMe file contained on the CDROM disc.

Notes

• Make sure that the hard disk drive on which the work folder to store the material transferred from this unit has adequate free space. The amount of proxy AV data transferred is about 1.4 GB per disc (when recording in the DVCAM format).

• To transfer files between the computer and this unit requires this unit’s IP address and other network-related settings to be made.

For details of the network-related settings, see “To change network settings” (page 109).
