EMC: AS/NZS 3548

This unit was designed for use under controlled EMC environment (for example
purpose built broadcasting or recording studio), and the rural outdoors environ­ment (far away from railways, transmitters, overhead power lines, etc.).

FCC 47 Part 15 Class A
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A
digital device, pursuant to the part 15 of the FCC Rules and EN 55022. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harm­ful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interfer­ence at his own expense.

The EMC regulations are only applicable when correctly shielded cables are used
for installation of the equipment. This applies to video cables as well as control
cables. Corresponding cables can be obtained from Thomson.
Run all connection cables in covered cable ducts (risk of stumbling).

The DCR 6024/6128/6000 includes wide range power supply units of 100 – 240 V,
so that no changeover is required for different line voltages. Depending on the sup­ply voltage use the proper rated power supply cord.

For more details see section 5 ”Installation” in the Planning & Installation manual.

Caution! Double-pole or neutral fusing

Risk of electric shock. Grounded circuit conductor (neutral) provided with over-cur­rent protection.
After operation of the protective device, parts of the equipment that remain under
voltage might represent a hazard during servicing.

Disconnect power before servicing!

The Tapedeck DMS 6000 is protected by two primary-side fuses (T6.25A / 250V)
which are located on the rear panel.

When replacing this fuse, make sure that a fuse link of the same type and of the
same current rating is used.
Never use a mended fuse! Do not short-circuit the fuseholder!

1.1 FEATURES

1.1.1 GENERAL

Digital film and the 1080p universal mastering format are increasingly important in
post production applications. Besides the digital HD video formats the data format
using SMPTE–rated DPX ( digital picture exchange) file format for uncompressed
storage and transport of picture information is required. This data format allows
higher resolution than specified in video formats with similar freedom in transfer
characteristic, color space and so on.

The DCR 6024/6128/6000 supports the HD video formats (1920x1080) as well as
data recording of DPX picture information. Using the same tapedeck and different
processors for DTV and data applications the system can be configured for the
requested application. With the addition of the data switch the same tapedeck can
be used to record data or digital HD video in many formats.

Planning and Installation – Rev. 1 / 7. 2001

1.4 MACHINE CONTROL

The control of the DCR 6024/6128/6000 is based on a user-friendly menudriven
concept. The menus are selected via 12 dedicated keys. All menus (except Setup,
Diagnostics and Editor) are designed without any sub menus to ensure easy
handling.

The menues are application sensitive, Depending on selected modes (data or
video) and installed options there are different menues and controls available.

12 softkeys control different functions in each menu replacing a high number of
dedicated keys.

All analog adjustments are done by a digipot which function varies with the different
menus (for further informations see chapter 4 “Menu Control” in the “Operating In­structions” manual).

A unique feature for VTR’s is the availability of a credit- card sized personal card
which can be inserted in a slot on the control panel. All machine parameters and
setups accessible from the control panel can be stored on this card. Information are
stored at this card in a S-RAM buffered by a 3 V lithium battery so that it can be
loaded everywhere into the recorder. If required, the stored machine setups and
adjustments can then be recalled.

The track pattern of the recorder contains the helical tracks with the video and au­dio sectors (DTV mode) and rewrite area (data mode) divided in clusters of 8 tracks
each.
It is based on azimuth recording with a track pitch of 22 m which allows a max re­cording capacity of 64 min or 500 GBytes with a L-type cassette.
The clusters are separated by guard bands from each other, allowing proper erase­ment of the individual clusters with a single flying erase head for each cluster .

One field is the minimum edit distance for video audio and data in DTV mode. It is
divided into six (24/25 Hz) or five (30 Hz) clusters respectively. In data mode the
sytem uses the 25 Hz mode internally .

Planning and Installation – Rev. 1 / 7. 2001

In DTV mode, twelve (ten) digital audio channels are independent editable in six
(five) stereo pairs.

An edit gap between audio and video sectors allows a separate editing of audio and
video.

The audio sectors are recorded on the top (1st record) and on the bottom
(2nd record) of the helical track for additional error correction.
In data mode there is a special rewrite area at the beginning of each track. In this
area, sync blocks with detected errors during recording will be written again.

An additional Sync block located at the beginning of data area contains the HAI
(Helical Address Information). In this block all control info about the content of heli­cal tracks like TOC (Table Of Content), and packet info is written.

One longitudinal analog audio cue track (only used in DTV mode), the control
track and the time code track complete the track configuration of the D-6 tape for­mat.

The recorder DCR 6024 is capable of recording various progressive, “segmented
frame” or interlace standards. HD Standard (frame rate) selection is made in the
”SETUP” main menu.
The selected standard is indicated by the system status indicators at the Control
Panel, LED ”frame rate” (either 24/25 Hz or 30 Hz).

In data mode the timecode track is used to locate and identfy data and system
tracks of data recordings. On tape, a standard 25 fps SMPTE timecode is used.
For the internal control interface this information is translated into a TSID (Track
Set ID). each timecode frame is one TSID. This TSID is used for display, internal
and edit controls.
Timecode 02:00:00:00 is coverted into TSID 00000
Each new partition starts with an offset of 02:00:00:00

The UserBits contain information about type of tracks, file–no., record mode, parti­tion–no. and tape length.

The DCR 6024 uses 1 1 µm thick D-6 tapes in three different cassette sizes S, M,
with a maximum recording time of 64min.

The magnetic tape specifications (type of cassette, tape thickness) are detected
and interpreted automatically after the cassette has been loaded.

Other 19 mm cassettes ( D-1 or D-2 type), not coded according to the D-6 format
will be rejected by the DCR 6024 recorder.

Another coding of the cassette prevents unintentional erasure of the cassette.
Use only tapes specified by Philips and Toshiba.

It uses the D-6 recording format, developed and supported by Philips Digital Video
Systems and Toshiba.
This format is based on a digital segmented-field video recording system with multi­channel audio using a 19 mm cassette housing, ( S, L and M) with enhanced 11m
MP tape.The robust segmented tape format with the high sophisticated digital
Processor guarantees a reliable production and transfer recording standard for the
various standards.

The DCR 6024/6128/6000 offers a confidence playback facility for video and audio
tape monitoring during record in DTV mode. In data mode, confidence playback is
used to check the recorded data and rewrite if necessary.

Digital recording and playback in conjunction with sophisticated error correction re­sult in excellent picture and sound quality in DTV mode. Even after 20 tape dubbing
generations there will be no noticeable loss of quality.

The DCR 6024 includes a very powerful error correction facility with a total output
error rate of 10

-11

.

A two step error correction system, based on the Reed Solomon Code is imple­mented to correct data reading errors.
There are two types of errors:

 Single errors
 Burst errors

In data mode (DCR 6128) the error correction capabilities are increased once
more. In conjunction with a rewrite function, controlled by the result of confidence
playback functions the corrected bit error rate (BER) will be in the range of 10 E–17.

In both modes the playback quality is checkable by the ”Channel Condition” indica­tors (LEDs) and/or by the display of the ”ADJUST” menu.

The ”Inner-Code” is used to correct up to 7 single errors in each datablock of 227
bytes (DTV mode) or 230 Bytes in data mode.
With the restriction that the off tape bit error rate is smaller than 10

-4

and no burst

errors occur, the residual error rate after ”Inner correction” will be less than 10

-16

.

This is about one million times better than D-1 format VTR performance.

Due to scratches and tape drop outs, not only single errors but also large burst er­rors can occur . To overcome this problem the DCR 6024/6128 has a powerful ”Out­er-Code” too.
Extensive burst errors up to 141 648 bytes of data could be corrected in DTV mode
by ”Outer correction”. That is 25 times more than a D-1 format recorder can.Using
advanced integration techniques the most powerful error correction of existing digi­tal video standards is implemented in the DCR 6024.

In data mode (DCR 6128) the “Outer correction” is more than twice as powerful
as in DTV mode. In conjunction with the rewrite function during record the corrected
BER will be in the range of 10 E–17.

If the capacity of the error correction system is exceeded by larger defects, an error
concealment function becomes active which covers the defective data.

The iMCS control interface is designed as Cheapernet-based control link (IEEE

802.3 standard) between machine(s) and control panel(s).
This interface can be used to interconnect up to four machines. Such a cluster con-

figuration allows the design of cost-effective operating configurations as only one
control panel is required to operate several machines.The integrated two-machine
editing system of the DCR 6024 uses the iMCS (2-machine cluster) as a control link
when editing with two DCR 6024.

In data mode (DCR 6128) the iMCS interface is used to control the data recorder
from telecine controllers or workstations.

1.6.2 DTV PROCESSOR DTV 6024

Digital serial input signal is a serial data stream composed of digital samples of a
component video signal Y / PR / PB.
The signal formats for video are described in the SMPTE 274M. SMPTE 292M de­scribes the signal parameters for serial interfaces.

The system uses an 10(8) bit quantization for Luminance and a 8 bit quantization
for chrominance.

SCCV Scanning Converter

The digital serial video input signals are fed to the board SCCV . The signal is con­verted from serial into parallel. Progressive signals are converted into a segmented
signal. For progressive and segmented frame modes (24, 25, 23.97 fr/sec) 2 LSB
bits from the 10 bit Y are separated and stored in a memory and inserted as lines
of the frame. In case of 8 bit signal processing and 10 bit input, a rounding process
is integrated.

VINP Video Input Processor
The selected input data are fed to the serial parallel converter and converted into

4 channel parallel luminance data (Y) and 4 channel chrominance data (Pb/Pr).
After line shuffling, parity bytes for the outer error correction coding are added.

CODC 1-4 Inner Coder/Decoder

The coded data are fed to the board CODC. On this board, the coded data are fur­ther shuffled in a field basis.

After mixing with the audio data, parity bytes for the inner error correction coding
are added.

In the channel encoder, the eight bits data are transformed into 12 bits data, then
the sync words are added.

A head delay compensates for the timing difference between each channel,
caused by the difference of the mechanical position of each head on the head­wheel.

Finally, the data are converted to serial data (8 channel record data, 2 bit parallel),
and sent to the Tapedeck as ”record data” via the buffer board I/O1.

The digital audio interface meets the AES-/EBU- standard AES 3, 1992.
A total of 12 (10) channels or 6 (5) stereo pairs is available for the digital recording

of audio signals, it uses a sampling frequency of 48 kHz and 20 to 24 bit linear quan­tization.

AINP Audio Input

The recording signals are fed to the board AINP. The segment memory stores the
recording signals temporarily to establish the segmented recording signal format,
which corresponds to the audio data block for error correction coding. Readout sig­nal from the segment memory is supplied to the Read-Solomon encoder which cal­culates outer parities for the audio data. The encoded output signal is stored in the
shuffling memory. This memory generates the first and the second recording data
with different shuffling schemes in a unit of inner code word.
The first and second recording data are transmitted to the board CODC to be multi­plexed into video data.

CODC Encoder / Decoder

The serial data are fed to the decoder board CODC via the board I/O1 from the Ta­pedeck. In this board, the serial data are converted into parallel form, and fed to
the TBC (Time Base Corrector) to reject time base errors. The sync pattern are de­tected from the reproduced data in the sync detector circuit. The channel decoder
converts the 12-bit modulated data into 8-bit data. The inner decoder performs
detection and correction of errors. The audio data are separated after inner error
correction.

VDFM Video Playback Processor

In the board VDFM, the field deshuffling is done in a field basis, then the outer error
correction is carried out.

VOUT Video Out Processor

The corrected data are fed to the board VOUT. In the board VOUT, the data is re­arranged into the original data arrangement after the line deshuffling and channel
deshuffling.The concealment circuit is provided to interpolate the data in case that
the data are not fully corrected by using the outer parity. By using the surrounding
non-erroneous pixels the erroneous data are interpolated. The video sync data are
added to the blanking interval then the data are converted from parallel form to se­rial form, and fed to the board SCCV. If the digital I/O option (available only for 60i
and 59.94i) is installed the digital signal is fed to the output connector.

SCCV Scanning Converter

The digital parallel signal coming from the VOUT board is converted from a seg­mented format to the selected output format. Lines containing 2bit Y are stored
in a memory and added to the Y signal. A parallel to serial converter generates the
output signal according to SMPTE 292M standard.

A video monitoring circuit generates an analog output signal (Y, PR, PB, Sync) or
R, G, B, Sync according to the selected standard.

AOUT Audio Out Processing

The board CODC supplies reproduced audio data to the board AOUT .In the board
AOUT, the reproduced data and inner decoder flags are stored in the deshuffling
memory. Storing operation is permitted when the reproduced data are likely to have
correct inner code block addresses. When the storing is inhibited, a new/old flag
is set to ”1” for corresponding inner code block in order to avoid misdetection by
older correct inner code block.The first and the second recording data are readout
from the deshuffling memory by turns in a unit of symbol. Then, for each data sym­bol, optimum one is selected to achieve optimum outer code word. This code word

is fed to the Reed-Solomon decoder for error detection and correction. The de­coded output data are stored in the segment memory to get an audio data se­quence. The error concealment and the level control are applied to this sequence.
(AES/EBU interface encoding is applied to the audio data, and the encoded data
are output through rear panel connectors as audio digital output signals)

Analog Audio Option, Audio Monitoring Option

Two channels are available on the audio monitor output through the output connec­tors of the rear panel and the headphone jack in the Tapedeck.The monitor signals
can be selected from the input or reproduced audio signals, the aux input signal,
the cue record signal and the cue playback signal.

The SYSC board consists of System Control block and Sync Generator block. The
System Control block controls the system, communicates with the Tapedeck and
outputs superimpose data. The sync generator block consists of a diverse sync
signal generator, a system clock regenerator, a playback sync signal phase ad­juster, a NTSC / PAL sync signal generator and a channel clock generator circuits.
The timing of every synchronizing signal is completely switchable to meet each HD
standard.

1.6.3 DA TA PROCESSOR DDP 6128

To prevent major modifications in the tapedeck, one of the existing video modes
is for data recording. When in data mode, the tapedeck runs internally in a video
mode (50Hz). So all tapedeck functions like servos, timecode units can be re­mained unchanged. Only the system software has to be modified for data version.

HPIF Board (HIPPI–Interface)

The optical signal is fed from the input to this board. This board is responsible for
communication with external Hippi devices. A conversion from optical serial signal
to electrical parallel signal is made. A buffer of 128 MBytes allows a flexible han­dling of incoming data stream. The Hippi header is detected and analyzed. The
header is removed and the data is provided to DPSC board.

DPSC Board

On the DPSC board the internal data controls are processed. Control information
like helical address information (HAI), table of content (TOC), partition information
(PSIT) is generated and inserted in data stream. All required clock generators are
located on this board. The incoming data packet is distributed and segmented into
8 channels.
This board contains also the system control unit.

CORE Board

This board is responsible for the standard digital recorder signal processing steps.
The functions are comparable with the CODC board of the DTV processor. Each
board contains 4 channels, so two identical boards are used in the data processor.

The Reed Solomon error correction encoder adds check bytes to the data bytes.
A rewrite memory stores data and inserts this data again if a rewrite due to error
rate is required.

After channel coding and conversion from parallel to 2bit serial mode, the data is
fed to the tapedeck.

CORE Board

The playback data stream (8channels) is fed to the two boards. Similar functions
compared to the CODC board are implemented:
Channel decoding
Sync detection
Error detection and correction.
For the rewrite function, a error information for rewrite decision is generated.

DPSC Board

The DPSC board extracts and processes all control information that was inserted
in the data stream during record (HAI, TOC). The data signal is combined from the
8 channels.

HPIF Board

The playback data signal is prepared for Hippi transfer. signal information (size) is
analyzed and a Hippi header is generated. Communication with Hippi destination
device is started and data is sent via optical transceiver. For playback mode the
same buffer memory of 128 MBytes is used.

DPX Monitoring (Option)

If the incoming / outgoing data stream is detected as DPX data, the signal is fed
to the DPX monitoring board. This board is located on the HPIF –board. The out
put of this board is a standard XGA signal (1024x768 / 80Hz). The DPX data is con­verted into an XGa signal. If the resolution of DPX signal is lower than XGA resolu­tion, the complete picture is displayed. If the resolution is higher, the resolution is
reduced by skipping lines and pixels. Because this is only a monitoring feature
boarders may appear on the screen depending on DPX resolution.
In record mode, this board is connected to the input data stream, inplayback mode,
the board is connected to the output data stream.

DPCU System Control

The system control is responsible for the control of all boards and the communica­tion with tapedeck via iMCS. For service mode a RS232 serial port is installed. Soft­ware updates can be done using this port to reprogram the flash Eproms.

1.6.4 TAPEDECK DMS 6000

Automatic Tracking System
This recorder has a permanent auto tracking function which means that the head

tracking will be kept on the track during playback continuously. This is accom­plished by monitoring the RF envelope signal and automatic adjustment of the
head track position.

Alternatively it is possible to perform a manual tracking adjustment.Both adjust­ment facilities can be selected in the ”ADJUST” menu.

Automatic Playback Equalizer Adjustment
For optimal playback of a tape that was recorded on another machine, it might be

necessary to equalize the frequency response in the playback signal path.
This results in a digital data stream which exhibits minimum error rates and conse-

quently gives concealment-free (error concealment) video and audio signals. The
adjustment is effected in the ”ADJUST” or in the ”HOME” menu.

The use of four field stores allows broadcastable slow motion picture playback at
a speed of - 0.25 to +0.25 times of normal speed, around zero.

Visible search is possible even at 15 times the normal speed, in both directions.

Moreover, a high-quality still picture reproduction generated from the field store is
provided.

The jogging mode serves to locate a certain picture in slow motion.The tape speed
( -0.25 to + 0.25 from regular speed) is proportional to the ”multi function dial”
speed.

 Slow rotation slow speed
 Fast rotation fast speed
 Stand still tape standstill

In addition to the twelve (ten) digital audio channels the DCR 6024 has one analog
longitudinal audio channel for recording cue signals. The cue channel can be used
to record a signal from an internal or an external (optional) audio signal
source.When recording is made using both the digital audio channels and the ana­log cue channel, the cue channel signal can be used as a reference for editing the
digital audio signals.Moreover, the audio cue track enables audio playback during
rewinding and at slow motion speeds.The audio cue track is adjusted in the ”CUE

For automatic editing the DCR 6024 must provide a definite identification for each
frame.For this purpose, a continuous analog longitudinal timecode (LTC) is re­corded on the timecode track. In addition, the machine records and reads the Audio
Sector Timecode (ASTC) .

In crossplay modes 24p, sf and 25p, sf a switchable timecode conversion is imple­mented. This allows to playback 24p, sf tapes in a 25p, sf mode and vice versa.
If timecode crossplay is switched on, the timecode on tape will be translated into
an absolute frame number. The frame number will be used to generate the time­code in the currently selected standard.
All interfaces (iMCS, RS422, TC–Out/XLR) will follow the crossplay mode.

Internal Editing system (DTV mode)

The integrated two-machine (Master-Slave) editor serves for automatic edit execu­tion. It is operated via the ”EDIT OR” menu. All common edit modes (Normal, Insert
and Assemble) are available. Edit timing is realized by means of IN and OUT
marks.A preview function is provided to permit edit simulation. Sequential playback
can be selected in the ”EDITOR” menu.

BX 5121 Active Terminal Board (Input Buffer)

The serial 8 channel record data (2 bit parallel) coming from the Processor is
clocked by clock 7 in the input buffer on the active terminal board (I/O buffer)
BX 5121. Clock 7 is used for timing reference. All signals have ECL level.

BY 5113 Preequalizer

On the preequalizer BY 5113 the data will be converted into a one bit serial data
stream (LSB first).

A phase locked loop circuit (PLL) generates the necessary double frequency chan­nel clock. The following differential amplifier controls the output level and can be
gated by the REC_GATE 0-7 command.

The next differential amplifier is the real preequalizer boosting the high frequencies
to compensate H.F. loss of the record heads.

The preequalizer parameters are controlled by two values, C1 and C2.
Then the signal is buffered by a DC controlled 50 Ω output stage.(Separate control

voltages are provided for heads 0o and 180o heads via I2C-bus.)
Record current and preequalizer C are adjustable from the control panel (Adjust-

Menu), preequalizer C2 is a fixed value adjusted in the factory or by service engi­neer.

The eight signals are fed to the scanner assembly .

BY 5110 Equalizer

The play signal from the scanner is fed to an equalizer circuit to compensate the
frequency response of the head-tape system. Thus the equalizer boosts both the
high and low frequencies and can be controlled by two parameters available on the
control panel, see menu ”Adjust” channel equalizer parameter: I/D and P/D2.

Further more the equalizer contains a signal rectifier to generate an rf-envelope
signal which is used for auto-tracking and for waveform-monitoring. The rf-enve­lope signal can alter due to different tapes, recordings and head conditions.

The following low pass filter BX 5111 cuts noise above 80 MHz. To have a constant
output level for the quantized feedback circuit, the level is regulated by an AGC (Au­tomatic Gain Control Circuit).

BY 5165 Clock Recovery

The clock recovery is a PLL circuit which regenerates the clock signal, to be used
to clock the data. The VCO is tuned via I2C-bus for various Standards and data
rates in the operation modes play , shuttle, variable. After clocking the data signal
is digital in time and level and is parallelized into 2 bits which are fed to output buffer
of the active terminal board BY 5121.

BX 5121 Active T erminal Board

The active terminal board contains ECL buffers for the playback clock and data sig­nal.

Record

From all of the reproduced digital audio data and the aux input data, cue record sig­nal is generated and transmitted to the Tapedeck.

The signal, transmitted in a digital form to the cue control analog board BY 51 15,
is converted back to an analog signal to be recorded on tape. Before recording level
and frequency response are aligned and bias is added.

Play

The cue playback signal passes through a level control and equalizer stage before
it is converted back to a digital form on the cue control analog board and transmitted
to the Processor.

The time code signal, generated in the system control unit BY 5160, is recorded
on tape after adding bias on the board cue control analog BY 5115.

The playback signal is fed via the board cue control analog BY 51 15 to the wave­form monitor stage of the board scanner power supply BY 5112 and after clipping
to the system control board BY 5160.

During record, a signal derived from the record current is fed to the waveform moni­tor stage.

The control track signal, generated in the system control unit BY 5160, is recorded
on tape after adding bias on the board cue control analog BY 5115.

The playback signal is fed via BY 51 15 board to to the waveform monitor stage
of the board scanner power supply BY 5112 and after clipping to the system control

1. Two switch mode power supplies (+5V and –12V/–7V) for the scanner record­and play-back amplifiers.

2. Thermal protection of record amplifiers by detecting the headwheel rotation.
If the rotation speed of the headwheel goes down, the record mode is cut off.
This prevents thermal damages of the record amplifiers.

3. Erase oscillator (30 MHz) for the flying erase heads.

iMCS

The control system of the recorder DCR 6024 is conceived as a multi Processor
system.The main components of the control system are connected via the serial
iMCS bus system with each other ( iMCS = internal machine communication sys­tem). This bus is based on standard IEEE 802.3 (ETHERNET). Because of the
cable deviating from the ETHERNET -Standard, the bus system is confessed also
under name CHEAPERNET. The maximal cable length is specified with 185m.

The participants in the iMCS system are:

 Tapedeck / System Control Unit BY 5160
 Control Panel DCH 6024 CP
 DTV Processor / System Control Unit SYSC
 Data processor / System Control Unit DPCU

Up to four DCR 6024 can be controlled within one iMCS net. Individual recorder
station addresses can be set up by local address switches, see chapter 5.3
”Startup”.

The system control board BY 5160 is divided into two sections, BY 5161 and
BY 5162.
The overall function can be separated into seven main groups:

Central Control Unit CCU

This unit controls all substantial functions of the DCR 6024/ 6128/6000. All com­mands from the Control Panel and all messages to the Control Panel have to pass
this unit. CCU takes over the status information management for the entire control
system centrally . Therefore all control setup data has to be stored in this unit. For
this purpose several nonvolatile store devices are used.The CCU software controls
and monitors following subunits:

 Wave Form Monitor
 Nonvolatile Memory
 Temperature Sensor (System control unit BY 5160)
 Front Panel Display
 Motor Control Unit MCU via Dual Port RAM
 Timecode Unit TCU via Dual Port RAM
 Gateway GW (Serial I/O Unit) via Dual Port RAM

Some parts of the system CCU software is divided into two parts. One is the DTV
version, the other one is the data version. After power up of system the processor
type is detected via iMCS and depending on the response application specific soft­ware parts are loaded.

Gateway GW (Serial I/O Unit) (DTV Mode)

All external standard control systems are connected to the DCR 6024 via this unit.
Different control dialects are converted into the iMCS data format and exchanged
with CCU via a Dual Port Ram. Following remote interfaces are available:

 REM1 (ES- Bus with limited implementation).

Timecode Unit TCU

The timecode unit includes timecode reader and timecode generator. All com­mands and messages to the TCU are passed via a Dual Port Ram. The generator
circuit provides two output signals. One signal is recorded on tape according to the
specified footprint and the other output is passed to the XLR-output connector. The
output signal is delayed by a FIFO in order to match the timing of the video signal.
A real time clock generator is used as time base for the timecode generator. This
device is connected to the battery so that the clock keeps running while power is
switched off.The timecode reader circuit can be switched to the tape signal from
tape or to the signal from the XLR TC-In connector for synchronization purposes.

This unit is a feedback control system which controls capstan, scanner and winding
motors. Six feedback systems are controlled simultaneously (headwheel velocity,
headwheel phase, capstan velocity, capstan phase, left and right tape tension).Ta­cho information of all motors, control track and analog output of tape tension arms
are passed to this unit. Motor power amplifiers are interfaced via analog output
stages.

Clock Generator

All basic reference clocks which are used by the servo and control system are gen­erated in this unit. It includes also the control track signal generator. All clocks are
derived from a frame pulse and a high frequency clock which are delivered by the
signal Processor. If no external clock is present the pulse generator will be switched
to an internal oscillator automatically. The head switch pulse generator works with
clocks derived from a PLL circuit which is locked to the scanner tacho. If the scan­ner is not running the head switch pulse generator will be switched to the reference
clock.

RF & Sensor Evaluation

The RF-evaluation circuit converts the analog signals from the tension arms, the
position sensors of the Tapedeck and the RF-envelope signals to a digital value.
Sampling and conversion of the RF-envelope is done with respect to the scanner
phase. Special software filter algorithms are applied to the conversion process.

1.6.5 SCANNER ASSEMBLY

The Scanner Assembly DCH 6024KE is a high sophisticated and precise unit, de­veloped to record and playback data signals with a rate up to 1.2 Giga bits/s on an
enhanced MP magnetic tape.

Fig. 109:Scanner assembly

Record Amplifier

The pre-equalized record signal, transferred via a 50 Ω cable to the record buffer
BY 5003, passes the rotary transformer.All connections of the rotary transformer
(record- part), are first fixed on the connection board BM 5009, then are connected
to the record amplifier (hybrid) located on record base board BY 5011.Each record
amplifier hybrid is directly connected to the record head or erase head.

Function

Planning and Installation – Rev. 1 / 7. 2001

Playback Amplifier

The playback signal provided by the playback head passes the low noise pre-am­plifier BY 5002 having a balanced output to drive the rotary transformer with a de­fined symmetrical impedance.After passing the rotary transformer, the play data
will be b u f fered in the playback buffer ( BM 5008). Its output signal is transferred via
a 50 Ω HF cable to the playback equalizer.

The recording format is based on a digital segmented-field system with the helical
scan technology. That means that only segments of a field of 6 (24/25 Hz) or 5
(60 Hz) clusters of 8 tracks are recorded (see figure LEERER MERKER D-6 track
pattern).

With an uncoded bit length of 0.3 m a cluster of 8 tracks and a length of 150 mm
contains the data quantity of 4 Mbit.
300 clusters per second so produce a data quantity of 1.2 Giga bits/s.

The tape wrap angle 180o, so it is necessary that 8 of 16 record heads and 1 of 2
erase heads are located 180o opposite to each other and the same applies to the 8
of 16 play heads.

With one rotation of the headwheel two clusters with 8 tracks will be generated.
So the headwheel rotates with approx. 150 Hz or 9000 revolutions/min for the

300 clusters/s.
The play heads are positioned on the headwheel in a way that they not only serve to

playback data but also to monitor the data in record mode.
The record- and playback paths are physically and electrically separated to mini-

mize crosstalk.

In case of maintenance the Scanner Assembly should be exchanged by service
people only .

1.6.7 DA TA SWITCH DSW 6000

The data switch DSW 6000 allows to connect a data and a DTV processor to a DMS
6000 Tapedeck. The switch command is transferred to the data switch via REM3
connector of the tapedeck. All tapedeck signals are switchable between the two
different processors:

 Record data
 Play data
 Control signals.

The data switch distributes the remote power on signal from tapedeck to the se­lected processor, so that only the active processor is powered on.

4.5.1.1 GROUNDING

The Tapedeck is to be connected to ground according to VDE 0800/part 2 and/or
the applicable national regulations. The protective conductor must always be con­nected before the unit is connected to the mains.

The DMS 6000 has separate protective (PE) and functional (TE) grounds. Their
terminals are located at the rear.

Planning and Installation – Rev. 1 / 7. 2001

In case of non-stationary application the grounding is ensured by the leading
grounding contact of the mains cord. The power cord may only be plugged into a
grounding contact socket outlet.

Do not cancel the protective effect by using an extension cable without a protective
ground conductor nor disable its function in any other way.

The jumpers across the PE and TE terminals must remain installed.
Exception:

When the jumpers are broken, a functional ground must be connected to the TE
terminal screw before the mains cord is connected!

In case of TN-C mains configurations (mains without protective conductor and with
neutralization for protection purposes),
VDE 0100 T.410 (IEC 364–4–41, IEC 304–4–47);
VDE regulation 0100 T.540 (IEC 364–5–54)
or the applicable national regulations must be observed.

Attention!
Any disconnection or break of the protective conductor inside or outside the
video tape recorder may impair the accidental contact protection in case of
a defect.

Grounding can be effected as follows:
Common Grounding: Connect the central protective conductor of the studio with

the PE terminals of the Media Recorder. The jumpers connecting the PE terminals
and the TE terminals have to remain installed.
In this case the cross section of the protective conductor has to correspond to that
of the neutral conductor in the mains cable, however, it must not be less than 2 qmm
(in line with VDE 0800/part 2, table 1).

If necessary (for example in studios having separate protective and functional
grounds), the jumper between PE and TE may be removed. In this case, also the
central functional ground (video and audio ground) must be connected to the
TE terminal screw. It should be designed as functional ground with protective
ground properties and free of noise voltage in line with VDE 0800/part 2.

The cross section of the conductor should meet the requirements mentioned at the
beginning of this section. A low impedance interconnection of the two ground con­ductors should be made at the central studio terminal or at the ground distributor.

For the mains connection of the DMS 6000 Tapedeck, the mains cord is connected
to the mains connection socket (AC IN). The mains cord is included in the shipment.

Main fuses on connector panel:
2x T6.25 A / 250V slow, UL-listed (valid for the entire voltage range 100 - 240 V).

Caution!
Double-pole or neutral fusing. Risk of electric shock. Grounded circuit con­ductor (neutral) provided with over-current protection. After operation of the
protective device, parts of the equipment that remain under voltage might
represent a hazard during servicing. Disconnect power before servicing!

The Tapedeck and the Processors include a wide-range power supply unit of 100

- 240V so that no changeover is required for different line voltages.
