internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an initial value. The following run modes can be selected.

• Free Run: Timecode advances continually.

• Rec Run: Timecode advances only during recording.

System TC (system timecode) mode: This records the

output of the internal timecode generator, synchronized to a broadcast station reference timecode signal input to the SYSTEM TC INPUT connector.

External Regen (regenerate) mode: This records the

output of the internal timecode generator, synchronized to an external timecode generator. As the external input, the timecode signal input to any of the following connectors can be selected.

• TIME CODE IN connector: LTC

• HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector: VITC and LTC

External Preset mode: This directly records the input of

an external timecode generator. As the external input, the timecode signal input to the TIME CODE IN connector can be selected.

To record timecode synchronized to the station’s reference time

On page P4 TC of the function menu, set TCG to “SYS”. This selects recording of timecode synchronized to a broadcast station reference timecode signal input to the SYSTEM TC INPUT connector.

To record with the internal timecode generator synchronized to external timecode (External Regen)

Use this method to synchronize the timecode generators of a number of recorders, to record the playback timecode of external VTRs, or to record while maintaining synchronization between the source video and timecode. Use either of the following procedures according to the type of external timecode.

Synchronizing with timecode input to the TIME CODE IN connector

Connect the timecode output of an external device to the TIME CODE IN connector, and input a reference video signal to the REF. VIDEO INPUT connector.

Make the following settings on page P4 TC of the function menu.

• Set TCG to “EXT”.

• Set PRST/RGN to “TC”.

Synchronizing with embedded LTC input to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector

To set to 00:00:00:00

Press the RESET button.

Press the SET function button (F5).

If RUN MODE on page P4 TC is set to “FREE RUN”, the timecode starts running.

To cancel a setting

Press the EXIT function button (F6). Any new settings to that point are canceled, and the setting operation is terminated.

Setting the timecode to the current time

Set RUN MODE on page P4 TC to “FREE RUN” and DF/NDF to “DF” (in 59.94i/59.94P/29.97P mode only).

Perform steps 1 to 4 of “Setting an initial timecode value” to set the timecode to a time slightly ahead of the current time.

Press the SET function button (F5) at the instant when the current time matches the displayed timecode.

Input an HD-SDI signal containing embedded LTC to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector, and a reference video signal to the REF. VIDEO INPUT connector.

Make the following settings on page P4 TC of the function menu.

• Set TCG to “SDI”.

• Set PRST/RGN to “TC”.

Executing either of these procedures starts the internal timecode generator running in synchronization with the external timecode generator. Once the internal timecode generator is synchronized with the external timecode generator, the internal timecode generator continues to run even if the external timecode generator connection is removed. The timecode advance mode is set automatically to Free Run. The frame count mode (for system frequency 59.94i/

59.94P/29.97P only) is set to the same mode as the external timecode signal (drop-frame or non-drop-frame).

Setting Time Data

To check the synchronization to the external signal

Press the REC PORT button to select the recording port. Check that the timecode value shown in the time data display coincides with the external timecode value.

Superimposed Text Information

To record external timecode directly (External Preset)

When you use this method, the internal timecode generator advances without being affected by the external timecode.

To directly record timecode input to the TIME CODE IN connector

Input the timecode output of an external device to the TIME CODE IN connector, and make the following settings on page P4 TC of the function menu.

• Set TCG to “EXT”.

• Set PRST/RGN to “PRESET”.

Setting user bits

You can record up to 8 hexadecimal digits of information (date, time, event number, etc.). Select UB by pressing the CNTR SEL function button (F2) in step 1 of “Setting an initial timecode value” (page 38) and carry out steps 2 to 5. Settings are made in hexadecimal (0 to 9, A to F).

Copying

Overview

This unit enables a copy of clips, EDLs, and files between internal storage, Professional Disc, and SxS memory card.

• Copy from SxS memory card to internal storage

• Copy from Professional Disc to internal storage

• Copy from internal storage to Professional Discs

• Copy from SxS memory card to Professional Discs

When a clip is being recorded to the internal storage, that clip can also be copied to the Professional Disc at the same time (the chase copy function).

For details of the operation, see page 56.

Chapter 4 Recording, Playback and Copying

By copying clips/EDLs on an SxS memory card or a Professional Disc to the internal storage, you can reuse the SxS memory card and the Professional Disc as recording media. This is a convenient practice for long hours shootings using XDCAM/XDCAM EX camcorders.

MP4/MXF/AVI clips on an SxS memory card/ Professional Disc are copied to the internal storage as follows. MP4/AVI clips: Clips in MP4 format are converted to

MXF clips area managed by this unit. The copied clips can be handled as normal clips on the internal storage.

MXF clips: Clips in MXF format are copied with no

format conversions to the MXF clip recording area managed by this unit. The copied clips can be handled as normal clips on the internal storage.

1) The quality of video and audio data is not degraded.

For information about operations, see next section “Copy operations”.

and copied to the MXF clip recording

• When an MXF clip on SxS memory card, Professional Disc or internal storage is copied, the UMID data of the copy source clip is maintained intact. If the copy destination media contains a clip with same UMID data as the clip selected as copy source, it is not possible to copy the selected clip. Change UMID data on an external device, or make transfer of the copy source clip via the network. When an MP4/AVI clip on an SxS memory card or Professional Disc is copied, new UMID data is automatically generated and added to the copy source clip. Therefore, copying is possible even if on the copy destination there is a clip with same UMID data as the copy source clip.

For the state of UMID data when a clip is transferred via the network, see “SITE UMMD” under “Extended commands” (page 72).

• Seamless playback and clip flag operations (addition, modification, and deletion) are not supported for MXF clips and for independent AV files (files without metadata, consisting of video and audio data only) that meet the following conditions.

- Clips containing 1000 or more essence marks

- Clips containing 10804 or more timecode breaks

- Clips with metadata files *M01.XML more than 2 MB

Important Notes on Operation

Use and storage

Do not subject the unit to severe shocks

The internal mechanism may be damaged or the body warped. Shocks may also damage the internal storage.

Do not cover the unit while operating

Doing so will cause temperatures to rise inside the unit, possibly resulting in failure.

After use

Turn off the on/standby button. If you plan not to use the unit for a long time, turn off the main power switch on the rear panel as well.

• In excessive heat or cold (operating temperature range: 5°C to 40°C (41°F to 104°F)) Remember that in summer or in warm climates the temperature inside a car with the windows closed can easily exceed 50°C (122°F).

• In damp or dusty locations

• Locations where the unit may be exposed to rain

• Locations subject to violent vibration

• Near strong magnetic fields

• Close to radio or TV transmitters producing strong electromagnetic fields.

• In direct sunlight or close to heaters for extended periods

To prevent electromagnetic interference from portable communications devices

The use of portable telephones and other communications devices near this unit can result in malfunctions and interference with audio and video signals. It is recommended that the portable communications devices near this unit be powered off.

Shipping

• To prevent damage to the internal storage, always power the unit off.

• Remove memory cards before transporting the unit.

• If sending the unit by truck, ship, air or other

Appendix

transportation service, pack it in the shipping carton of the unit.

Care of the unit

If the body of the unit is dirty, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. In extreme cases, use a cloth steeped in a little neutral detergent, then wipe dry. Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or thinners, as these may cause discoloration or other damage to the finish of the unit.

In the event of operating problems

If you should experience problems with the unit, contact your Sony service or sales representative.

Use and storage locations

Store in a level, ventilated place. Avoid using or storing the unit in the following places.

About 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.

Condensation

If you move the unit from a very cold place to a warm place, or use it in a damp location, condensation may form on the optical pickup. Then, if the unit is operated in this state, recording and playback may not be performed properly.

Important Notes on Operation

When you move or operate the unit in an environment where condensation may form, be sure to insert a disc in advance.

Precautions for products with builtin HDD

PD1000

This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static electricity, high temperature or humidity, data corruption can occur. When installing and using the unit, closely observe the following precautions.

Protect from shocks and vibrations

When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be damaged and corruption of data on the HDD can occur.

• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use a type which does not transmit excessive vibrations. Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the HDD.

• Never move the unit while it is powered.

• Protect all HDD-equipped devices in the rack from shocks.

• Before removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make sure that power to any other HDD-equipped devices in the rack is also switched OFF.

• Place the unit on a level and stable location.

• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become a source of vibrations.

Temperature and humidity related precautions

Use and store the unit only in locations where the specified temperature and humidity ranges are not exceeded. Also, do not power the unit on while its outer case is removed.

Temperature range for operation: +5 to +40ºC (+41 to

+104ºF)

Humidity range for operation: 20 to 90% relative

humidity (no condensation)

Temperature range for storage: –20 to +60ºC (–4 to

+140ºF)

When HDD seems to be faulty

Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be sure to observe all the above precautions. This will prevent further damage from occurring until the problem can be diagnosed and corrected.

HDD replacement

Contact your Sony service or sales representative about periodic replacement of the HDD.

Do not expose to static electricity

Remove any plastic items that can produce static electricity (bubble wrap, etc.) from the work area. Also, when handling the HDD, make sure to wear a grounded antistatic strap.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning the power off

For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the heads will be in an insecure position. During this interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of at least 30 seconds after turning the power off, avoid subjecting the unit even to very light shocks. After this period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit can be manipulated.
