Chapter 1 Overview

1-1-1 Features of the SRW-5000

The SRW-5000 is a high-definition digital video cassette recorder using the HDCAM-SR format. It is a small and light unit incorporating LSIs for signal processing and is comparable to the HDCAM HDW-F500 in size, weight and functionality.

HDCAM-SR Format

The HDCAM-SR format exploits technological advances in signal processing and magnetic recording, to provide functionality comparable to that of the HDCAM format, while offering HD digital recording and playback with high image and sound quality. The technology incorporated in the SRW-5000 includes the following.

•Highly efficient and mild data compression using newly developed MPEG-4 Studio Profile.

•Powerful error-correcting codes

•High-performance, high-accuracy heads and drum with dynamic tracking (DT ™), together with a new auto-tracking technique, yielding highly reliable narrow track recording and playback.

These technologies allow 120 minutes of recording on an HDCAM-SR cassette (L type), the same size as the HDCAM cassette.

Digital Signal Processing

In the SRW-5000, 4:2:2 component video signals obtained by quantization according to ITU-R709, SMPTE 274M and BTA S-002B (SMPTE 260M) are compressed using MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Audio signals are processed uncompressed, according to the AES/EBU format.

Input interface

The input interface is based on the HDSDI (HD Serial Digital Interface) format BTA S-004B/S-005B/S-006B (SMPTE 291M/292M/299M) and ARIB STD B-4, allowing a single BNC coaxial cable to carry one component video signal, twelve digital audio channels, and time code in time division multiplex; this is separated for conversion to parallel data. Audio recording can be switched between the digital audio signal multiplexed with the HD SDI signal and the audio signal from an AES/EBU digital interface.

model

Bit rate reduction encoder

The component video signal undergoes frame shuffling. It is then compressed by a process in which it is subjected to DCT (discrete cosine transform) or DPCM (differential pulse code modulation), quantization control, and variable length word encoding. This is the core of the newly developed MPEG-4 Studio Profile. Interlaced signals are compressed in fields and progressive signals are compressed in frames.

ECC encoder

The outer ECC (Error Correction Code) is added to the compressed video and audio data, followed by the inner ECC, ID data, and sync data. Reed-Solomon codes are employed in this error correction system.

Channel coding

Video and audio data with the ECC added is recorded in the form of serial data. The HDCAM format adopts a scrambled i-NRZ channel coding system, giving consideration to off-track and noise characteristics.

Playback signal processing

The playback digital signal is equalized by an equalizer circuit. It then passes powerful inner and outer ECCs which can correct dropouts in the reproduced signal. It further goes through an error concealment circuit to have errors still remaining in the signal rectified.

Output interface

Component video data is converted into serial data and multiplexed with audio data and time code, then output in the HD SDI format. With an HD-SD converter board installed, the unit can output both D1 SDI and analog composite signals. Besides audio data is output as digital data multiplexed with the HD SDI signal, it is also output via an AES/ EBU digital interface. Analog data converted from digital data is also provided.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 Features

Advanced Recording and Playback Functions

High-quality digital recording

The SRW-5000 uses a component system to record video signals. An AES/EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 12-channel audio recording. A unique and powerful error correction circuit and concealment circuit are used in digital signal processing. Accurate and stable video signal output is made possible by setting and adjusting the internal digital video processor.

Record/playback modes

As the record/playback mode, you can select from the following 10 modes. 1080×1920: 59.94i/60i/50i/23.98PsF/24PsF/25PsF/

29.97PsF/30PsF

720×1280: 59.94P/60P

Playback compatibility

You can select the following compatibility playback functions.

•HDCAM 1080×1920:59.94i/60i/50i/23.98PsF/24PsF/25PsF/

29.97PsF/30PsF

•Digital Betacam 525/625×720 1080×1920 59.94i/50i

However, Digital Betacam playback requires the HKSR-5002 (option).

HD pull down

By installing an optional HKSR-5001 HD Pull Down Board, the HD SDI output (to which the audio signal and VITC are multiplexed) in 59.94i or 60i mode is also available when the unit is operated in the

23.98PsF or 24PsF mode. It is also possible to carry

out conversion between 1080×1920 mode and 720×1280 mode. In 720×1280 mode, D1 SDI or analog composite signals can be output.

Noiseless playback with DT heads

When using the HDCAM-SR or HDCAM format, the dedicated playback DT heads allow you to perform noiseless playback in the range from –1 to +2 times normal speed, including still-picture playback. When using the Digital Betacam format, the playback range is from –1 to +3. However, Digital Betacam playback requires the HKSR-5002 (option).

Video and audio confidence heads

Video and audio (channels 1 through 12) signals can be recorded and simultaneously played back to check the recording.

Internal time code generator and reader

The internal time code generator allows you to record time code (LTC or user bits) together with video and audio signals. Time codes (LTC or user bits) can be read during playback using the time code reader.

Computer servo system

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

Capstan override function

You can adjust the playback speed by ±15% to ensure synchronization between, for example, two VTRs playing back the same program.

Independent audio level control

It is possible to adjust the recording and playback levels either independently on each channel or simultaneously on all 12 channels while monitoring the peak values.

Tele-File

memory label system

The SRW-5000 incorporates the Tele-File memory label system to allow users to read, write and update videocassette management information, log data (IN/ OUT points) and cue point data on memory labels, providing greater efficiency in cassette management and editing.

Input a reference video signal of the field frequency selected for the format converter output. Select HD or SD with the VTR SETUP menu item 006 “EXTERNAL REFERENCE select”. When HD is selected, input a tri-level SYNC signal for external synchronization. When SD is selected, input a video signal with chroma burst (VBS) or a monochrome video signal (VS). A loop-through connection is possible. Set the 75 Ω termination switch to OFF if you are using a loop-through connection and set it to ON if you are not using a loop-through connection.

5 SD OUT SYNC connector (BNC)

This outputs an NTSC or PAL signal for external synchronization.

Note

The output phase is the same as that of the composite signal output from the SD OUT COMPOSITE connector. Because the output phase changes with the operation mode of the VTR, use this for synchronization with the video monitor.

6 SD OUT COMPOSITE connector (BNC)

Outputs an analog composite signal for a video monitor. When the ALT/[F6] (CHARA SUPER) setting in the TC menu is on, character signals such as time codes are superimposed on the output.

8 TIME CODE OUT connector (XLR-3-31,

female)

Outputs the following time codes according to the VTR operation mode.

In playback mode: Playback time code In recording mode: Time code generated by the

internal time code generator, or time code input to the TIME CODE IN connector.

To select the output signal, use the VTR SETUP menu item 613 “TC OUTPUT SIGNAL IN REGEN MODE.”

mode, playback time code signal is regenerated and output. In all other cases, output is the same as for the "off tape" setting.

The time code signal from the TIME CODE IN connector is output as is. (Used for cascade connections.)

(For more information about cascade connections, see 3-1-3 “Cascade Connection” on page 3-3.)

9 TIME CODE IN connector (XLR-3-32, male)

Accepts external time code for recording to tape. Connect to the time code output connector of the external equipment.

7 HD REF. OUT connectors (BNC)

Output an HD tri-level sync signal during tape playback.

0 CUE OUT (cue output) connector (XLR-3-31,

female)

Outputs cue track audio during HDCAM or Digital Betacam playback.

Note

There is no cue track on an HDCAM-SR tape, and therefore no output.
