Overview

1-1 Features

The SRW-1 is an HDCAM-SR portable digital recorder. It is used together with the SRPC-1 high-definition video processor.

1) HDCAM-SR is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

1-1-1 Principal Features

The SRW-1 and SRPC-1 have the following features.

format high-definition

Chapter

Input interface

The input interface is based on the HD SDI (HD Serial Digital Interface) format compliant to BTA S-004B/005B/ 006B (SMPTE 291M/292M/299M) and ARIB STD B-4. One component video signal, 12 channels of digital audio signals, and a timecode signal are time-division multiplexed and carried along a single (or a couple of) coaxial cable(s) with BNC-type connectors. These signals are separated and converted to parallel data. Audio signals to record can be switched among the following three: signals multiplexed into the HD SDI signals described above, audio signals from the AES/EBU digital interface, and analog audio signals from microphones or other analog audio devices.

High-quality digital recording

The SRW-1 uses a Y/Pb/Pr component system and an RGB component system to record video signals. An AES/ EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 12channel audio recording. Powerful error correction and error concealment circuits unique to HDCAM-SR are used in digital signal processing. Accurate and stable video signal output can be obtained by adjusting the internal video signal processor.

Recording and playback modes

You can select from the following recording and playback modes. 1080 × 1920 (progressive): 23.98PsF, 24PsF, 25PsF,

29.97PsF

1080 × 1920 (interlaced): 59.94i / 50i

Double-speed recording

Drum rotation and tape transport can be increased to double speed for high-speed data transfers, allowing twice as much data to be recorded in the same time. 4:4:4 RGB video can be recorded for even higher quality. The output of two camera systems can be recorded simultaneously on a single tape as 4:2:2 DUAL STREAM.

Output interface

Component video signals are converted into serial data, multiplexed with audio signals and timecode, and output in the HD SDI format. SD SDI output can also be obtained by using the internal HD/SD converter board. In addition to digital audio signals multiplexed into the HD SDI signals described above, audio is output from the AES/EBU digital interface, and analog audio is output after D/A conversion.

Transmission over optical-fiber cable (with optional HKSR-101 installed)

When the optional HKSR-101 Optical Interface Unit is installed, this unit can be connected to an HDC-F950 HD Color Video Camera by optical-fiber cable. A single optical-fiber cable can receive HD 4:2:2 component video signals or HD 4:4:4 RGB video signals, while simultaneously transmitting HD 4:2:2 component video return signals to the camera. Audio signals and control signals are multiplexed into video signals transmitted over optical-fiber cable.

The control panel is independent of the SRW-1 (VTR main unit), allowing it to be installed in the most convenient location in your operating environment. It can be held in the hand and operated like a remote controller.

obtained by quantization according to ITU-R709, SMPTE 274M, and BTA S-002B (SMPTE 260M) are compressed according to the MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Audio signals are processed uncompressed, according to the AES/EBU format.

Internal timecode generator and reader

The internal timecode generator allows you to record timecode (LTC

and user bit data and audio signals. The internal timecode reader reads the recorded timecode (LTC and user bit data) during playback.

1) LTC (Longitudinal Time Code):

Timecode recorded on longitudinal tracks of the tape. It may not be read correctly when the tape speed is very slow or when the tape speed changes suddenly.

2) User bit data:

Eight-digit hexadecimal numbers which can be recorded as auxiliary information during recording of timecode.

) along with the video

Computer servo system

Computer-controlled servo motors provide direct drive for the drum, capstan, and S-side reel, enabling quick and accurate tape access.

Independent audio level adjustment

You can adjust audio levels independently while checking peaks on all 12 audio channels.

Self diagnostics

When an error occurs, the system performs self diagnostics and displays the cause.

1-1-2 HDCAM-SR Format

The HDCAM-SR format exploits advances in signal processing and magnetic recording technology to enable HD digital recording and playback with high image and sound quality, with functionality comparable to that of the HDCAM format.

• Highly efficient mild data compression based on the new

MPEG-4 Studio Profile

• Powerful error correction system

Bit rate reduction encoder

Component video signal data is compressed to specified data rates by a process in which it is subjected to frame shuffling, DCT (discrete cosine transform) or DPCM (differential pulse code modulation), quantizing adjustment, and variable length word encoding. This process forms the core of the new MPEG-4 Studio Profile compression strategy. The process uses intra-frame compression for progressive image capture and intra-field compression for interlaced images.

ECC encoder

An outer ECC (error correction code) is interleaved with the compressed data, followed by inner ECC, ID data, and sync data. The error correction system uses standard ReedSolomon codes.

Channel coding

Video and audio with the addition of ECC data are recorded in the form of serial data. The HDCAM-SR format uses a scrambled NRZI (Non-Return-to-Zero Inverted) channel coding system to ensure superior offtrack and noise tolerance characteristics.

Playback signal processing

Digital playback signals are equalized by equalizer circuits and error corrected by powerful inner and outer ECC. This process corrects most noise and dropout problems in the reproduced signal. Data that cannot be completely corrected in this way is corrected by error concealment circuits.

Tele-File

The SRW-1 supports the Tele-File memory label system.

1) Tele-File: A system in which non-contact memory ICs on the spines of cassettes

This system uses 1/2-inch width HDCAM-SR S-size cassettes. The maximum recording times are as follows.

System frequency Maximum recording time

Chapter 3 Preparations

29.97 Hz 40 minutes (20 minutes for double-speed recording)

25 Hz 48 minutes

23.98 Hz/24Hz 50 minutes (25 minutes for double-speed recording)

Note

Use this unit (SRW-1) or a SRW-5000/5500 unit to rewind tapes. Do not use cassettes which have been rewound by other units or by rewinders.

Storage of cassettes

Store your cassettes at room temperature and normal humidity.

3-7-2 Inserting and Ejecting

Cassettes

Check to be sure that the system is powered on before inserting and ejecting cassettes.

Note

To protect tapes, do not power the SRW-1 off with a cassette loaded. Always eject the cassette first, and then use the following procedure to power the system off.

Set the SRW-1 and SRPC-1 POWER ON/OFF switches to ON.

Press the EJECT button.

The cover of the cassette insertion slot opens.

Check the following, and then insert the cassette.

• There is no slack in the tape. (If there is slack in the

tape, see “Removing slack in the tape”.)

• There is no error message in the display (see page

64).

3-7 Handling Cassettes

Press the cover of the cassette insertion slot to close it.

The tape is wound on the drum.

If “VTR 007F: HUMID ERROR” appears in the display

Condensation was detected.

See “Condensation” (page 61) for the steps to take.

Removing slack in the tape

Carefully rotate one of the reels in the direction of the arrow until it stops.

3-7-3 Preventing Accidental Erasure

To prevent accidental erasure of material recorded on a tape, push in the record-protect plug.

Push in the record-protect plug. To restore the tape for recording, return the plug to its original position.

Chapter 3 Preparations

To eject cassettes

With the system powered on, press the EJECT button on the control panel. The tape is unthreaded and the cassette is automatically ejected. This operation takes a few seconds. To cancel the ejection before it is finished, press any of the other operation buttons before the cassette is completely ejected. The cassette ejection operation is canceled and the operation corresponding to the button you pressed starts.

To remove a cassette with the system powered off

Proceed as follows if you need to remove a cassette with the SRW-1 powered off, because the battery pack is exhausted or for some other reason.

Cassette insertion slot

1 Power off the SRW-1 and

SRPC-1.

2 Open the rubber cover by

pressing the depression on the left side of the cover with your finger, pushing it toward the right, and lifting up the left edge of the cover.

3 Use a screwdriver to press in the

screw inside, and rotate the screw in the clockwise direction until the cassette insertion slot cover opens.

When a cassette with the plug in this position is inserted into the recorder, the REC INHI indicator lights up on the control panel display and recording will not start, even if you press the REC and PLAY buttons. To restore the tape for recording, return the plug to its original position.

There is no need to return the screw to its original position after you remove the cassette. Normal operation resumes again the next time you power the system on.

For the method of ejecting the cassette after a slack error (forcible eject), refer to the Maintenance Manual.

Maintenance and Inspections

Head Cleaning

Use the BCT-HD12CL Cleaning Cassette to clean the video and audio heads. Read the instructions included with the cleaning cassette carefully, as improper usage can damage the heads. When you insert the cleaning cassette, it is automatically ejected after a cleaning operation which lasts for about five seconds.

Note

Do not run the cleaning tape more than six times in succession to avoid damaging the heads.

Refer to the instructions of the cleaning cassette for detailed information about cleaning the video and audio heads.

Handling the Optical-Fiber Connector (When Optional HKSR101 Is Installed)

Communications errors can occur if dust accumulates on the surface of the connector of the optical-fiber cable. Always clean the optical-fiber connector before use. Whenever the optical-fiber connector (CAMERA connector) is not in use, always cover it with the cap supplied with the HKSR-101 so that no dust accumulates.

Condensation

If you suddenly move the VTR (SRW-1) from a cold location to a warm one, or use the VTR in a very humid place, moisture in the air can collect on the head drum or tape guide. This is called condensation. If you play a tape under these conditions, the tape may adhere to the drum where moisture has collected and become damaged. To prevent this, the SRW-1 has a condensation detection mechanism.

When condensation is detected

If the condensation detection mechanism detects condensation on the head drum during use, a popup window appears in the display of the control panel, displaying the message “VTR: 007F HUMID ERROR”

(see page 64).

See the figure under “About Error Messages”(page 64) for more information about this and other error messages.

When condensation is detected, the VTR enters tape protection mode (see page 65).

If “VTR: 007F HUMID ERROR” appears immediately after you power the system on

Leave the system powered on, and wait for the message to disappear. Cassettes cannot be inserted while the message is visible.

When you suddenly move the VTR from a cold location to a warm one

Leave the VTR powered off for about 10 minutes, since some time is needed for the condensation detection mechanism to work.

Refer to the HKSR-101 Installation Manual for information about cleaning the optical-fiber connector.

If you press the BACK button, the same error code appears in the operation status and warnings section of the display when you move back as far as the HOME screen. The error code remains visible until the cause of the error is eliminated.

Tape protection mode

To protect the tape and the mechanical parts of the SRW1, the servo control system automatically stops tape transport and the drum motor and enters tape protection mode when an error occurs. Cassettes may not be inserted or ejected while the SRW-1 is in tape protection mode.

Note

If a cassette is stuck in the SRW-1 because of tape protection mode, remove the tape manually, making sure to power the system off before doing so.

See “To remove a cassette with the system powered off” (page 37) for more information about how to remove a cassette manually.
