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.

To display playback condition marks, set basic menu item 012 “CONDITION DISPLAY ON VIDEO MONITOR” to “ena,” and set basic menu item 005 “DISPLAY INFORMATION SELECT” to “T&sta.”

For details about operation, see 7-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” (page 94).

• 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 8-1-1 “Digital Hours Meter” (page 120) about this setting. Refer to the Maintenance Manual for an approximate guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.

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.

Chapter 3 Preparations

Playback condition displays

You can be alerted in advance to deteriorating playback conditions and to error correction rates which are approaching their limits. Deteriorating playback may be due to the following causes.

• Scratches and dust on the disc surface This includes fingerprints, dust from the air, tar from cigarette smoke, and so on. Scratches and soiling which occur before recording are not a problem because they are registered in advance as defects, and recording avoids them. However, scratches 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.

3-6-2 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.

You can lock individual clips to prevent them from being deleted. For details, see “Locking clips” (page 55).

Notes

• Do not turn this unit’s primary power 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

Chapter 3 Preparations

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

The disc is ejected. After removing the disc, you do not need to return the screw to its original position. Normal operation will resume when the unit is powered on again.

Close the rubber cover firmly.

3-6-7 Handling of Discs When

Recording Does Not End Normally (Salvage Function)

Recording processing does not end normally when the primary power 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 control panel is set to standby, because the unit does not enter standby mode until after the end of recording processing.

1) Primary power is lost when the AC power switch on the rear panel is turned off, the AC power cord is disconnected, DC power is turned off, the battery pack is exhausted, the battery pack is removed, and so on.

of this unit is lost during 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 INHI indicator (see page 18) is lit, the message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the Write Inhibit tab to the recording enable position, and insert the disc again.

• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.

The message “Complete” appears when processing finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips that failed were lost.

3-6 Handling Discs

Page 41

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.

4-1 Recording

Page 43

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 7-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” on page 94.

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.

To adjust the audio recording levels

When carrying out audio recording at a reference level

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) 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 7-4-2 “Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 114.

Manually adjusting the audio recording levels

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) 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 18) do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

Chapter 4 Recording/Playback

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 7-4-2 “Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 114.

File writing formats with FAM and FTP connections

It is not necessary to set the video recording format (IMX50/IMX40/IMX30/DVCAM) and the audio recording format (16bit × 8ch/24bit × 4ch) before writing files. The file formats which can be written to the disc depend on whether clips are already recorded on the disc. When you insert a disc with no recorded clips: Files in

all of the above formats can be written.

When you insert a disc with recorded clips: Files in the

same video and audio formats as the clips on the disc can be written.

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 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.

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.

To record time code that follows sequentially upon the last recorded time code

You can record time code so that it is continuous from one clip to the next on the disc. Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to INT and the PRESET/ REGEN switch to REGEN beforehand. When this setting is in force, the unit reads the time code of the last frame of the last recorded clip on the disc before starting to record, and internally generates time code that follows upon the recorded time code. In this case, the setting of extended menu item 628 “DF MODE” is ignored. New time code is recorded in the dropframe mode of the last recorded time code on the disc.

Chapter 4 Recording/Playback

To record with the internal time code generator synchronized to external time code

You can record with the internal time code generator synchronized to time code input from an external device. Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of a number of recorders, or to carry out recording maintaining the synchronization between the source video and time code. In this case, the settings of the F-RUN/R-RUN switch and extended menu item 628 “DF MODE” are ignored. You can synchronize the internal time code generator to one of the following external time codes.

• TC input to this unit’s TC IN connector

• VITC in a video signal input to this unit

• SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal input to this unit

• i.LINK TC input to this unit’s S400 (i.LINK) connector

• i.LINK VITC input to this unit’s S400 (i.LINK) connector

Make either of the following connections and settings.

To synchronize to time code input to the TC IN connector

Connect the time code output from the external device to the TC IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the time data display or the video panel, select one of SDI, COMPOSITE, or SG.

To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal

Connect a video signal containing VITC to the VIDEO IN connector or the SDI IN connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the time data display or the video panel, select COMPOSITE or SDI.

Use the following procedure to synchronize the internal time code generator according to the type of external time code.

4-1 Recording

To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal

Connect an SDI signal containing SMPTE RP188 LTC to the SDI IN connector.

To synchronize to i.LINK TC

Connect an i.LINK signal to the S400 (i.LINK) connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the time data display or the video panel, select i.LINK.

To synchronize to i.LINK VITC

Connect an i.LINK signal to the S400 (i.LINK) connector. Press the VIDEO INPUT SEL button and, while viewing the time data display or the video panel, select i.LINK.

Make the following settings.

Page 47

To synchronize to time code input to the TC IN connector

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”

To synchronize to VITC in an input video signal

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “vitc.”

To synchronize to SMPTE RP188 LTC in an SDI signal

Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to RP188 and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

To synchronize to i.LINK TC

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “tc.”

To synchronize to i.LINK VITC

• Set the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN.

• Set extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” to “vitc.”

Check that the time code value shown in the time data display coincides with the external time code value.

To record external time code directly

You can record both of the following types of external time code directly.

• TC input to the TC IN connector of this unit

• i.LINK TC input to the S400 (i.LINK) connector of this unit

• SMPTE RP-188 LTC in an SDI signal input to the SDI IN connector of this unit

When you use this method, the internal time code generator advances without being affected by the external time code. To record the playback time code of external VTRs, the methods described above in “To record with the internal time code generator synchronized to external time code” are recommended.

Use the following procedure to record external time code directly, according to the type of external time code.

Time data display

Video panel

Chapter 4 Recording/Playback

For details of menu setting operations, see Chapter 7 “Menus” on page 89.

This starts the internal time code generator running in synchronization with the external time code generator. Once the internal time code generator is synchronized with the external time code generator, even if the external time code generator connection is removed, the internal time code generator continues to run.

Notes

• When the input video signal selected is i.LINK or SDI, setting the INT/EXT/RP188 switch to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch to REGEN automatically synchronizes the internal time code generator to the time code received through the S400 (i.LINK) connector or SDI IN connector.

• When the INT/EXT/RP188 switch is set to EXT and the PRESET/REGEN switch is set to REGEN, the internal time code advance mode and frame count mode (for 525 line mode only) are automatically set as follows.

Advance mode: free running Frame count mode (for 525 line mode only): the same

as the external time code signal (drop frame or nondrop frame)

To check the synchronization to the external signal

Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC button.

5-1Overview

What is scene selection?

Scene selection is a function which allows you to select material (clips) from the material recorded on a disc and perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this unit only.

• Scene selection is a convenient way to perform cut editing in the field and in other offline situations.

• Clip lists (edit data) created with the scene selection function can be used on XPRI and other full-feature nonlinear editing systems.

Clips

Material recorded on a disc with this unit is managed in units called “clips.” A clip contains the material between a recording start point (In point) and a recording end point (Out point). Clips have names beginning with “C” for example “C0001.”

Clip lists

Data called a “clip list” is created when you use the scene selection function to select desired clips from the clips stored on a disc. Clip lists have names beginning with “E” for example “E0001.” You can save up to 99 clip lists on a disc.

Example: Clip list (E0001)

Clip list editing (current clip list)

Clip lists cannot be edited on disc. To edit clip lists, you need to load them, one at a time, into the unit memory. The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory is called the “current clip list.” The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip list. After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to disc.

6-1-3 Assigning User-Defined Clip

Titles

By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the range C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF. For this reason, two discs can contain clips with the same names. The automatic title generation function allows you to assign titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to C0017.MXF on disc 2.

- Symbols: ", *, /, :, <, >, ?, \, |

• Depending on the character type, the length of userdefined names (the “C*” or “E*E01” part) may be limited to 14 characters. (The limit for ASCII characters is 56 characters.)

• All file name extensions are converted automatically to uppercase.

• Titles are used as user-defined clip names on this unit. Therefore, the available characters are limited to those supported by the title function.

• Files generated along with clips and clip lists use the same names (the “C*” or “E*” part of the following file names).

- Clips: Metadata files (C*M01.XML), proxy AV data

files (C*S01.MXF)

- Clip lists: Metadata files (E*M01.XML)

• The following names cannot be assigned.

- Clips:C0000.MXF

- Clip lists: E0000E01.SMI, E0100E01.SMI to

E9999E01.SMI, E0000.SMI, E0100.SMI to E9999.SMI

- Clip lists: E0001.SMI to E0099.SMI

See “Cuing up a desired clip” (page 52) for more information about the thumbnail screen.

Notes

• The value of the serial number is incremented by 1 every time a title is generated. When the value reaches 99999, the next number restarts from 00001.

• Duplicate clip titles can be generated if you reset the serial number after recording several clips or the same is true depending on the value setting. Care should be taken when setting the serial number.

• The “PREFIX” setting is saved in memory banks, but the “NUMERIC” setting is not saved (see page 96).
