Before Using the Unit
Overview
1-1Features
The PDW-R1 is a convenient, compact, and lightweight
optical disc recorder. It allows you to record to optical
discs, play back optical discs, and record audio and video
data files transferred over the S400 (i.LINK
and (network) connector. It is ideal for field
applications and for desktop viewing by journalists,
producers, and other production staff.
1) i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
The features of the PDW-R1 include the following.
MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording
The PDW-R1 offers the capability to record and play back
both MPEG IMX
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.

Thumbnail search operation
Simply press the THUMBNAIL button and the PDW-R1
instantly displays thumbnails on the video panel or 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

Quick picture search by jog and shuttle
dials
The PDW-R1 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 ±20 times normal
speed.
IT-friendly system
In the PDW-R1, clips are recorded as video and audio data

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

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.
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.
• 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.).
1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Color LCD built-in
With the built-in 3.5-inch type color LCD screen, you can
display contents on the disc without an external monitor.
Supports a variety of interfaces
The PDW-R1 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.
Digital interfaces
SDI (Serial Digital Interface)/AES/EBU: This allows
the unit to input and output D1 (component) format
digital video and audio signals and also AES/EBUformat digital audio signals.
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.
Compact size, lightweight and batterypowered operation
The PDW-R1 is designed small and light enough to carry
out to the field and it is operable with battery to work
speedily in the field.
Supporting SNMP for service and
maintenance
The PDW-R1 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.

• When the PDW-R1 is connected to a device with a 6-pin
i.LINK connector by an i.LINK cable, before
unplugging the i.LINK cable, first power off the device
and disconnect the power plug from the outlet. If the
i.LINK cable is unplugged with the device power plug

flows into the PDW-R1. This may cause a failure of the
PDW-R1.
• When connecting the PDW-R1 to a device with a 6-pin
i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK
connector of the other device first.
