The features of the PDW-V1 include the following.

Playback of MPEG IMX/DVCAM

The PDW-V1 offers the capability to play back both MPEG IMX flexibility to select from these formats according to their picture-quality needs.

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

Recording video and audio data as files

Though the PDW-V1 does not have video and audio input connectors, it is possible to record AV data as files through its

(network) connector or S400 (i.LINK) connector.

Proxy AV data

The proxy AV data is a low-resolution, MPEG-4 based version of the full-resolution 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 over common networks at much greater speeds. The proxy AV data can be transferred at upto 30 times faster than real time.

Quick picture search by jog and shuttle dials

The PDW-V1 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 times normal speed and the shuttle dial is for high-speed search at up to ±20 times normal speed.

IT-friendly system

In the Professional Disc, clips are recorded as video and audio data files allows material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the PDW-V1 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 supports MXF (Material eXchange Format) file transfer capability to exchange contents with other equipment supporting MXF.

Analog interfaces

Video: The unit can output a composite analog video

signal.

Audio: The unit can output two-channel stereo audio

signals.

DVCAM output from MPEG IMX playback

When the PDW-V1 plays back an MPEG IMX stream, it outputs a corresponding DVCAM stream at the same time through its i.LINK (AV/C) port. This is very useful when carrying out off-line editing with a popular non-linear editor using DVCAM format.

Compact size, lightweight and batterypowered operation

The PDW-V1 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-V1 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.

IEEE1394)

Using the AV/C protocol: Outputs a DVCAM format

digital video/audio signal.

Using FAM protocol: Transfers files to and from

supporting devices.

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-V1 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-V1. This may cause a failure of the PDW-V1.

• When connecting the PDW-V1 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-V1.

take the action described in the next section. This corresponds to the “red” channel condition indicator of a VTR.

a) Read errors will occur if the playback condition continues to deteriorate.

If a read error occurs, a “Disc Error!” alarm appears in the time data display, the picture freezes, and audio is muted.

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 69).

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.

• 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.

Chapter 3 Preparations

3-5 Superimposed Text Information

For details, see 8-1-1 “Digital Hours Meter” (page 86) about this setting.

Refer to the Maintenance Manual for an approximate guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.

3-6Handling Discs

3-6-1 Discs Used for Playback

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

Chapter 3 Preparations

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.

This unit uses the following disc for playback: PFD23 Professional Disc

1) Professional Disc is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Note

It is not possible to use the following discs with this unit:

• Blu-ray Disc

• Professional Disc for Data

(capacity 23.3 GB)

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.

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.

3-6-3 Write-Protecting Discs

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

3-6 Handling Discs

3-6-6 To Eject Discs With the Unit

Powered Off

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.

Power the unit off.

Notes

• 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. (From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the interruption of recording are lost.)

Full salvage

Insert a Phillips screwdriver into the slit, as shown in

Chapter 3 Preparations

the following illustration, and rotate the red screw in the counterclockwise direction.

Note

Use a screwdriver that fits into the slit. The width of the slit is approximately 2.5 mm.

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. Processing time is 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.

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.

3-6-7 Using the Salvage Function

To salvage

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

Notes

• If a write protected disc is loaded, the message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the writeprotect 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.)

When XDCAM recording does not end normally, 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.

5-1Overview

Clip lists and sub clips

Scene selection is a function which allows you to save, load, and edit clip lists consisting of clips recorded on disc, or parts of clips, arranged in any order. Clips or parts of clips which have been inserted into clip lists are called sub clips.

Clip lists on disc and the current clip list

Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on disc. These clip lists can be loaded, one at a time, into the unit’s memory for playback and editing. Newly created clip lists are also saved in the unit’s memory. This manual refers to the clip list which is currently loaded into the unit’s memory as the “current clip list.”

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 82).

7-3-3 Using UMID Data

To perform operations from interviewing to editing effectively and to detect audio-visual materials easily when reusing them, metadata that provides additional information is recorded along with audio-visual data. As one of application of metadata, the UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is internationally standardized.

What is a UMID?

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE330M-2003 standard.

Press the SET button.

When you next display the menu and change the item display, the extended menu will appear after the basic menu.

The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte Basic UMID or as the Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32 bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes.

For details, refer to SMPTE 330M.

Extended UMID (64 bytes)

Basic UMID (32 bytes) Source Pack (32 bytes)

Universal label L Inst. No. Material Number Time/Date

12 bytes 1 3 bytes 16 bytes 8 bytes 12 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes

Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in clip units. The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional information such as location, time/date, company and so on.

Material No.

Instance No.

Chapter 7 Menus

7-3 Extended Menu

Using the Extended UMID

You have to enter a country code, organization code and user code. Set the country code referring to the ISO-3166 table, and set the organization code and user code independently.

For details, see “About UMID ownership information” (page 78).

About UMID ownership information

COUNTRY (country code)

Enter an abbreviated alphanumeric string (4-byte alphanumeric strings) according to the values defined in ISO 3166-1. There are about 240 country codes. Find your own country code on the following home page.

Functions of UMID data

The UMID data enables the followings:

• Add a globally unique ID to every clip of audio-visual material. The unique ID is used to detect the material source and to link it with the original source material.

• Distinguishing between original material and copied material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original material.

• Recording based on the UTC. The UTC is used when recording the UMID. This enables uniform control of source material recorded all over the world based on the universal time code.

• Calculating the date difference among source materials. The source material is recorded based on the MJD (Modified Julian Date), which enables easy calculation of date difference among source materials.

Setting UMID ownership information

Proceed as follows.

Set extended menu item 029 “STORED

Chapter 7 Menus

OWNERSHIP” to “on.”

See 7-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” (page 69) for more information about how to make this setting.

Set the following item.

Item Contents

COUNTRY Country code ORGANIZATION Organization code USER User code

To change the currently selected item

Hold down the STOP button, and turn the jog dial.

To select a different digit to be changed

Turn the jog dial.

Refer to ISO-3166-1: http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso3166/iso3166-1en.html

When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part of the code will occupy the first part of the 4-bytes and the remainder must be filled with the space character (20h).

Example: In the case of Japan

For Japan, if the country code is JP, it is 2 bytes, if JPN, it is 3 bytes. Thus, enter the following:

JP_ _ or JPN _ where _ represents a space.

ORGANIZATION (organization code)

Enter an abbreviated 4-byte alphanumeric string for the organization code.

Notes

• Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the SMPTE registration office. When no organization code has been acquired, it is forbidden to enter an arbitrary string. As a rule, the code “00” must be entered. Freelance operators who do not belong to an origination should enter “

• There are no problems in recording or playing back audio-video signals, if ORGANIZATION is not set.

USER (user code)

Enter the 4-byte alphanumeric strings for user identification. The user code is registered with each organization locally. It is usually not centrally registered. When the country code is less than 4 bytes, enter the country code from the beginning of the 4 bytes and enter the space character (20h) in the remaining strings. This user code is determined by the organization. The methods used depend on the organization.

AES/EBU

A standard established jointly by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union) for serial transmission of digital audio. Two channels of audio can be transmitted via a single connector.

Clip

A recording unit. Clips are created every time recording starts and stops.

Clip list

A list of locations in the material recorded on the disc, arranged in any order. Clips lists can be created with the scene selection function of this unit, and with the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software.

Color subcarrier

In a composite video signal, a signal superimposed upon the picture (luminance) information for the purpose of conveying the associated color information. Color and saturation information is conveyed by the phase and amplitude of the color subcarrier. Also called subcarrier.

video.

Drop frame mode

SMPTE time code runs at 30 frames/ second, while the NTSC color television system runs at about 29.97 frames/second. Drop frame mode adjusts the running of time code to eliminate the discrepancy between time code value and actual time by dropping two frames from the time code value at the beginning of each minute except every tenth minute.

E-E mode

Electric-to-Electric mode. When you operate a VDR in E-E mode, input video and/or audio signals pass

then come out from the output connectors, without passing through electromagnetic conversion circuits such as recording heads.

Essence mark

A type of metadata that may be set for a specified frame. For more efficient searches, XDCAM equipment records essence marks as part of Non-RealTime metadata, and uses them to display thumbnails.

i.LINK

Another name for the IEEE13941995 standards and their revisions. XDCAM uses the i.LINK interface to transfer DV streams by the AV/C protocol, and to read and write MPEG IMX and DVCAM data files by FAM (file access mode).

Metadata

Information about the properties of video and audio content. XDCAM records metadata such as UMIDs and essence marks, and the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to record information such as titles and comments.

MXF

Material eXchange Format. A file exchange format developed by the Pro-MPEG Forum. Equipment from different manufacturers can exchange files in this format.

Non-audio

General term for audio signals other than linear PCM, such as Dolby E and Dolby Digital (AC-3). XDCAM can record non-audio as an input signal.

1) Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories.

Non-drop-frame mode

A mode of advancing time code which ignores the difference in frame values between real time and the time code. Using this mode produces a difference of approximately 86 seconds per day between real time and time code, which causes problems when editing programs in units of seconds using the number of frames as a reference.

Proxy AV data

Low-resolution data with a video bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel. This unit records proxy AV data automatically whenever highresolution MPEG IMX or DVCAM data is recorded.

Reference video signal

A video signal that contains a sync signal or sync and burst signals, used as a reference for synchronization of video equipment.

SDI

Serial Digital Interface. An interface standardized as SMPTE 259M which enables the transmission of an uncompressed digital component stream.

S/N

Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of the strength of the desired signal to the accompanying electronic interference, the noise. If S/N is high, sounds are reproduced with less noise and pictures are reproduced clearly without snow.

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol. XDCAM uses this protocol to monitor equipment operating status via network connectors.

Sub clip

One of the sections which make up a clip list. A sub clip may be part of a clip or an entire clip.

Thumbnail image

A reduced still picture of video for display on a GUI screen. XDCAM creates thumbnail images from proxy video, and displays them as index pictures on GUI screens.

Time code

A digitally encoded signal which is recorded with video data to identify each frame of the video by hour, minute, second and frame number. SMPTE time code is applied to NTSC system, and EBU time code to PAL and SECAM systems.

Glossary

UMID

Unique Material Identifier. A standard (SMPTE 330M) for video and audio metadata. The Basic section of a UMID contains a globally unique number and a material number for the identification of recorded material. An optional section called the “Source Pack” contains information such as the time and location of recording. A UMID with the Basic section only is called a Basic UMID. A UMID with the Source Pack is called an Extended UMID.

User bits

A total of 32 bits are provided in the time code which the user can use to record such information as date, reel number, or scene number on video tape. Also called user’s bits.
