Overview Chapter 1

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 1)) connector 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 1) and DVCAM 1) streams. Users 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.

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 (XPRI 1), etc.).

1) XPRI is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

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 frame- by-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 files 1). This file-based recording system also allows material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the 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.

1-1 Features

9

 

 

Overview 1 Chapter

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.

Flexible metadata recording

XDCAM 1) can record various types of metadata together 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.).

1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

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 1) 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.

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.

a ACCESS indicator

This lights when the disc is accessed and when a file is opened by a FAM or FTP connections (see page 72).

If the on/standby switch is set to the 1 position while this indicator is lit, access to the disc is completed before the unit switches to the standby state.

Note

While the ACCESS indicator is lit, do not turn off the AC power switch, disconnect the power cord, or remove the battery. This could lead to a loss of data from the disc.

b On/standby ("/1) switch and indicator

When the AC power switch on the rear panel is in the " position, or a battery is loaded, this switches the PDW-R1 between the operating (") and standby (1) states. When the switch is moved to the " position, the indicator lights. When the switch is moved to the 1 position, the indicator goes off.

When operating the PDW-R1 from an AC power supply, normally leave the AC power switch in the " position, and switch the PDW-R1 between the operating and standby states using the on/standby switch.

cRemote control switch and NETWORK access indicator

Different positions of the switch allow different operations as follows.

NETWORK: Enables access to the network. The indicator lights when an external network device is being accessed. In this state, operation from the control panel is not possible.

LOCAL: Enables operation from the control panel. REMOTE: Enables remote control of the PDW-R1 from

a device connected to the S400 (i.LINK) connector or REMOTE connector on the side panel.

Use extended menu item 214 “REMOTE INTERFACE” to select which of the connectors is used.

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for more information about how to make extended menu settings.

d KEY INHI (key inhibit) switch

a Audio level meters

Depending on the setting of the AUDIO METER SEL button (see page 15), these show the audio recording levels (during recording) or audio playback levels (during playback) of channels 1 to 4 or channels 5 to 8. If an audio level exceeds 0 dB, the OVER indicator lights.

The DATA indicator lights when non-audio signals are played back.

By means of a maintenance menu setting, you can display a reference level indicator (“-”) to the right of each meter when recording.

For details of the maintenace menu, see 7-4 “Maintenance Menu” on page 112.

b Time data display

Normally, this shows the disc playback time, time code, or user bit information, as selected by the COUNTER SEL button (see page 13) and extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT.”

It is also used for error messages, setup menus, and other displays.

The following indicators are located above the time data display.

COUNTER indicator: This lights when a counter value (hours, minutes, seconds, and frames, resettable) is displayed in the time data display.

HOLD indicator: This lights when the internal time code generator (TCG) is stopped. Does not light when the output of the time code reader (TCR) is being displayed during playback and stop.

TC/VITC (time code type) indicator: This lights when the COUNTER SEL button (see page 13) is set to TC. The time data display shows the time code.

When extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” is set to “tc,” this shows “TC,” and when “vitc” is selected, it shows “VITC.”

UB/VIUB (user bit type) indicator: This lights when the COUNTER SEL button is set to UB. The time data display shows the user bits.

When extended menu item 629 “TC SELECT” is set to “tc,” this shows “UB,” and when “vitc” is selected it shows “VIUB.”

VITC indicator: This lights in the following cases.

In playback mode, when VITC is being read. (Regardless of what the time data display is showing.)

When VITC is being recorded, or in E-E mode 1) when VITC is recorded due to one of the following conditions.

-Extended menu item 619 “VITC” is set to “on.”

-There is VITC in the selected video input signal, and that line has been set to “thru” with extended menu item 723 “INPUT VIDEO BLANK.”

PB (playback) indicator: This lights when the output of the time code reader (TCR) is being displayed.

NDF (non-drop-frame) indicator: This lights in E-E mode when extended menu item 628 is set to “ndf,” and during playback when the clip on the disc has non- drop-frame time code.

EXT-LK (external synchronization) indicator: This lights when the internal time code generator is locked to an external signal input to the TC IN connector.

1)E-E mode: Abbreviation of Electric to Electric mode. The mode in which input video and audio signals are output after passing only through the electrical circuits.

When the unit is shipped from the factory, the audio output signal is set to 16 bit/48 kHz/2ch mode. You can change the audio mode and output channel settings with extended

menu item 831 “DV OUT AUDIO MODE” and extended menu item 828 “SDI/DV AUDIO OUTPUT SELECT.”

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for more information about how to make these settings.

Notes

If video or audio signals from an external device

connected with the S400 (i.LINK) connector are not output, disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again, pushing it straight in.

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 still connected, a current from an excessive voltage (8 to 40 V) output from the i.LINK connector of the device 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.

Except in playback mode (jog and shuttle modes, etc.), if you are monitoring the audio signal output from this connector on another device, the audio signal may sound differently from the audio signal played back on the PDW-R1.
