Chapter 1 Overview

Overview

1-1 Features

The PDW-D1 is a compact and lightweight disc drive which, connected to a nonlinear editor, allows recording/playback of video/ audio data. Connected to a computer, it can also be used to write and read video/audio data files and general-purpose data files. In conjunction with a laptop computer it is ideal for field use, or for building a budget video production system together with a nonlinear editor. The features of the PDW-D1 include the following.

DVCAM format recording/ playback

By accessing this unit from a computer with the AV/C (Audio/Video Control) protocol, you can record or play back a DVCAM format data stream.

1) DVCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

DVCAM output from MPEG IMX recorded disc

By playing back a disc recorded in MPEG

IMX

format from a computer with the AV/C protocol, a signal converted to the DVCAM format can be output.

1) MPEG IMX is a trademark of Sony

Corporation.

Chapter

Recording video and audio data as files

You can record video and audio data in MPEG IMX format or DVCAM format as files, through the S400 (i.LINK) connector.

Proxy AV data

The proxy AV data is a low-resolution, MPEG-4 based version of the fullresolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream. When a full-resolution MPEG IMX/ DVCAM file is transferred, a proxy AV stream file that is time code synchronized with the full-resolution stream, is also created automatically on the disc. This proxy AV data, which is smaller in size, is easier to work with and can be transferred at upto 30 times faster than real time.

IT-friendly system through i.LINK interface

In the Professional Disc, clips are recorded as video and audio data files. This filebased recording system also allows material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the PDW-D1 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.

3-5 Handling Discs

3-5-1 Discs Used for Recording and Playback

This unit uses the following disc for recording and playback: PFD23 Professional Disc (capacity 23.3 GB)

Storage

• Do not store discs where they may be subjected to direct sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or humidity is high.

• Do not leave cartridges where dust may be able to gain ingress.

• Store cartridges in their cases.

Care of the discs

• Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using a soft dry cloth.

• If condensation forms, allow ample time to dry before use.

Chapter 3 Preparations

Note

It is not possible to use the following discs for recording or playback:

• Blu-ray Disc

• Professional Disc for Data

3-5-2 Notes on Handling

Handling

The Professional Disc is housed in a cartridge, and is designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in damage or scratching of the disc. If the disc is scratched, it may be impossible to record video/audio, or to play back the content recorded on the disc. The discs should be handled and stored carefully.

• Do not touch the surface of the disc itself within the cartridge.

• Deliberately opening the shutter may cause damage.

• Do not disassemble the cartridge.

• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for indexing discs. Apply the label in the correct position.

3-5-3 Write-Protecting Discs

To protect the content recorded on the disc from accidental erasure, move the writeprotect tab on the lower surface of the disc in the direction of the arrow, as shown in the following figure.

surface on the right, insert the disc. The disc is drawn in.

To unload

Press the EJECT button.

When a disc is loaded, the DISC IN indicator (see page 27) lights. It flashes while the disc is being inserted, and while it is being ejected.

3-5-5 Formatting a Disc

When battery power is low and at other times, it may not be possible to eject discs by pressing the EJECT button. In these situations, you can use the following as an emergency procedure to eject a disc manually.

1 Power the unit off. 2 Open the cover of the front panel

manual eject mechanism (1), and remove the rubber cap (2).

3 Carefully check the positions of the

screws, then turn the screws counterclockwise, using a Phillips screwdriver, until the disc is ejected.

An unused disc requires no formatting operation. The disc is automatically formatted when loaded into this unit. To format a disc that has already been recorded, for example, use the disc operation menu of the utility software.

For details, see page 55.

3-5 Handling Discs

After removing the disc, you do not need to return the screw to its original position. Normal operation will

Page 37

resume when the unit is powered on again.

4 Replace the rubber cap, and close the

cover.

3-5-7 Handling of Discs When Recording Does Not End Normally (Salvage Function)

Recording processing does not end normally if, for example, the unit is powered off during recording, or if battery pack power is exhausted 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 ~/1 (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 power the unit off or remove the battery pack 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.

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 automatically reconstructed on the basis of backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about 5 seconds.

Chapter 3 Preparations

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 automatically 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).

3-5-8 Condensation

When this unit is moved from a cold place to a warmer place, or operated in high humidity, condensation may form on the optical pickup. If the unit is operated in this state, it may make correct recording and playback impossible. Note the following points, to avoid problems with condensation.

• If moving the unit in conditions where condensation is possible, make sure the disc is inserted in advance.

• When the ~/1 (on/standby) switch is in the ~ position, if the ERROR/ALARM indicator lights, and “HUMID!” appears in the utility software alarm log, do not insert a disc until the indicator has gone off.
