Overview

1-1 Features

1-1-1 Features of the SRW-5000/ SRW-5500

The SRW-5000/SRW-5500 is a high-definition digital videocassette 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. The SRW-5500 only is a recorder supporting both the HDCAM-SR and HDCAM formats.

1) HDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

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 this unit 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 autotracking 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 this unit, 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.

model

Chapter

Input interface

The input interface is based on the HD SDI (HD Serial Digital Interface) format specified by BTA S-004B/005B/ 006B (SMPTE 291M/292M/299M) and ARIB STD-B4, 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.

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-SR 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.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-1 Features

Page 10

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

HDCAM format

The HDCAM format uses tape with the same 12.65 mm width as the Betacam series to enable recording of up to two hours of high-quality HD video. Video signal compression uses prefilter and coefficient recording technology.

Advanced recording and playback functions

High-quality digital recording

This unit 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

HDCAM-SR format (SRW-5000/5500) or HDCAM format (SRW-5500)

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

29.97PsF/30PsF

720×1280: 59.94P/50P (HDCAM-SR format only)

Playback compatibility

You can select the following compatibility playback functions.

• HDCAM (SRW-5000) 1080×1920: 59.94i/60i/50i/23.98PsF/24PsF/25PsF/

29.97PsF/30PsF

• Digital Betacam 525/59.94i, 625/50i

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

Internal format conversion function

By installing an optional HKSR-5001, when the operation mode of this unit is 23.98PsF or 24PsF, a 59.94i or 60i mode HD SDI output (audio/VITC multiplex) is made available. Additionally, conversion in either direction between 1080×1920 and 720×1280, and conversion from 4:2:2 signal to 4:4:4 signal is possible, and with the additional installation of an HKSR-5003, conversion from a 4:4:4 signal to a 4:2:2 signal.

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, or 4 channels for the HDCAM format (SRW-5500 only)) 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 (or 4 channels for HDCAM format (SRW5500 only)) while monitoring the peak values.

Tele-File

memory label system

This unit 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.

1) Tele-File

A contact-free system for writing, reading, and modifying video cassetterelated information on IC memory-bearing labels. Tele-File is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Program Play (P-PLAY) Function/Pitch Correction Function

Program play is a function that allows play at ±5% of normal speed. Pitch correction of the audio is possible at the same time. This function is available only for the combination of SRW-5000/5500 Serial No. 12001 or higher and HKSR5001 Serial No. 11001 or higher.

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 75Ω 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.

e 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 (MONITOR) connector. Because the output phase changes with the operation mode of the VTR, use this for synchronization with the video monitor.

4-2-7 Selecting DMC Playback (DMC)

In DMC (Dynamic Motion Control) playback mode, the VTR plays back a tape segment at a specified variable speed of –1 to +2 times normal playback speed, memorizes the speed, then plays the segment back at a later time at the memorized speed. DMC playback is useful during on-the-spot telecasts of sporting events for immediate playback and broadcast of highlight scenes for which starting and ending points have been set during recording.

For detail on the procedure for DMC playback, see “5-44 DMC Playback” on page 111.

During tape editing using two SRW-5000/5500 VTRs, you can use DMC playback to control the playback speed of the player VTR for editing at variable speeds (DMC editing).

DF: Drop frame mode NDF: Non-drop frame mode

(DF is displayed.)

(NDF is displayed.)

auto: The unit switches to drop frame mode when the field

frequency is 29.97 Hz, and switches to non-drop frame mode when the field frequency is 30 Hz.

1) Drop frame mode In order to compensate for differences between time code values from the time code generator and the actual time that occurs when the frame frequency of this unit is 29.97 Hz, the drop frame mode causes the time code generator to omit the first two frames (frame 00 and 01) in each minute except the tenth.

2) Non-drop frame mode In this mode, drop frame mode processing is not performed. Since there is no frame cutting, a discrepancy of about 86 seconds occurs each day in the case of a frame frequency of 29.97 Hz.

Notes

• This setting is only active when the frame frequency of the unit is 29.97 Hz or 30 Hz.

• When the [F7] (TCG MODE) button is set to “regene”, the drop frame mode is inoperative since the time code generator is synchronized to the playback time code.

You can perform backspace editing with the CUE menu. In backspace editing, assemble editing is performed from the recording end point. Thus, before starting backspace editing for the first time, you must record for at least one minute or so on the tape before you can do backspace editing. After recording, the present end of the recorded portion becomes the recording end point. When you press the AUTO button and then press the REC/EDIT button, the VTR automatically prerolls a few seconds before the recording end point and starts assemble editing. If no data for the recording end point exist, backspace editing is not performed. The recording end point will be cleared when you eject the tape.

Note

Cue point data is cleared when a cassette is inserted. However, cue point data recalled from a memory stick before a cassette is inserted is not cleared when a cassette is inserted.

4-4 CUE Menu

4-4-7 TELE FILE Menu

The TELE FILE menu screen is different in HDCAM-SR and HDCAM formats. In HDCAM-SR format: The cassette has a memory label

attached as standard, and this screen allows operations to read out, enter, or change the cassette ID identification, recording format, recording information, management information, and so on. In the HDCAM-SR format, each recording automatically adds recording information. However, if the recording time is less than 2 seconds, or if when recording ends the measurement on the spool was not complete, then no recording information is added. In the case of an HDCAM-SR cassette, a cassette without a memory label is ejected.

Page 73

In HDCAM format: When an MLB-1M-100 memory

label (optional) is attached to the cassette, this screen allows operations to read out, enter, or change the cue point information, log (IN/OUT point) information, management information, and so on. Using this information, cassette tape management and tape editing efficiency can be improved.
