Overview

1-1 Features

1-1-1 Features of the SRW-5800

The SRW-5800 is a high-definition digital videocassette recorder using the HDCAM-SR1) format. It is comparable to the conventional SRW-5000 in size and weight, and recording of 4:2:2/1080/50P or 60P signal or HQ recording of 4:4:4 (RGB) signal can be supported. The SRW-5800 is also designed considering file transfer through the network.

1) HDCAM-SR 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

•The drum with a high-performance, high-accuracy head, 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 this unit, 4:2:2/4:4:4 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 without compression.

Chapter 1

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/372M) and ARIB STD-B4, allowing the 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.

Overview 1 Chapter

1-1 Features	9

Overview 1 Chapter

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 for monitoring.

Advanced recording and playback functions

High-quality digital recording

This unit uses a component system to record video signals. The 12-channel audio signal is recorded in 48-kHz, 24-bit format. 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

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/50P

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

525/59.94i, 625/50i

However, Digital Betacam playback and HDCAM playback require the HKSR-5802 (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-5803SQ or HKSR5803HQ, conversion from a 4:4:4 signal to a 4:2:2 signal is also possible.

Noiseless playback with non-tracking head (for HDCAM-SR format only)

In addition to a playback head, a non-tracking head is provided. Noiseless playback within the range of –0.5 to +1.0 times normal playback speed is thus possible.

Noiseless playback with DT heads (for Digital Betacam or HDCAM format only)

When using the HDCAM format, the dedicated playback DT heads allow you to perform noiseless playback in the

range from –1 to +2 times normal speed, including stillpicture playback. When using the Digital Betacam format, the playback range is from –1 to +3. However, Digital Betacam playback and HDCAM playback require the HKSR-5802 (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.

Note

Noiseless playback cannot be performed for HDCAM-SR format when playback speed exceeds +1 times normal speed.

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 for HDCAM-SR format while monitoring the peak values. For Digital Betacam or HDCAM format, adjusting the playback level is possible either independently on each channel or simultaneously on all channels (4 channels and the cue track audio).

Tele-File1) 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.

An abbreviation for Electric-to-Electric mode. In this mode, video or audio input signals are passed and output only through the VTR’s internal circuitry, and not through the magnetic conversion system comprising tape and heads.

Note on faulty pixels on the LCD panel

The LCD panel fitted to this unit is manufactured with high precision technology, giving a functioning pixel ratio of at least 99.99%. Thus a very small proportion of pixels maybe “stuck”, either always off (black), always on (red, green, or blue), or flashing. In addition, over a long period of use, because of the physical characteristics of the liquid crystal display, such “stuck” pixels may appear spontaneously. These problems are not a malfunction. Note that any such problems have no effect on recorded data.

24 2-2 Connector Panel

Because the output phase changes with the operation mode of the VTR, use this for synchronization with the video monitor.

f SD OUT COMPOSITE (MONITOR) 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.

g TIME CODE OUT connector (XLR 3-31, male)

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 REGENE MODE.”

Setting	Description
off tape	In playback mode, playback time code signal
	is output. In recording mode, TCG time code
	signal is output.

regene	Only when the servo is locked in playback
	mode, playback time code signal is
	regenerated and output. In all other cases,
	output is the same as for the “off tape” setting.

through	The time code signal from the TIME CODE IN
	connector is output as it is. (Used for cascade
	connections.)
	(For more information about cascade
	connections, see “3-1-3 Cascade
	Connection” on page 30.)

h CUE OUT (cue output) connector

(XLR 3-31, male)

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.

i TIME CODE IN connector (XLR 3-32, female)

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