Overview

The PWS-100TD1 is a system for digitizing VTR material to create clips and for storing clips on cartridges in an Optical Disc Archive System. It features the following functions.

Ingest

The unit creates high-resolution video and proxy video files from input SDI signals from one or more VTRs and stores the ingested clips on internal HDDs. It can also control VTR devices remotely using an RS-422 interface.

Video quality checking

The video quality of ingested clips can be checked automatically. The video can also be checked visually by an operator in the web application screen or on an external monitor.

Clip storage

High-resolution clips can be transferred and stored on cartridges or on a network server.

Workflows

A series of tasks, from ingesting through to transfer of clips, can be executed in a single operation using workflows. A manager can defines the workflow tasks to execute and assign an operator to execute the tasks in a work order, and the operator then executes the tasks according to the work order.

Web application

Control and configuration of the unit is performed using a graphical interface displayed in a web browser on a client PC.

Integration with management software

The properties of clips stored on cartridges and proxy video files can be exported and managed using other software.

System Configuration Examples

Connect VTRs and external monitors to the SDI connectors of the unit, and drive units to the USB connectors on the rear panel. You can select a 2-input/2-output, 3-input/1-output, or 4-input system configuration by configuring SDI settings in the web application.

2 inputs/2 outputs

Connect VTRs to the SDI 1 and SDI 2 connectors, and external monitors to the SDI 3 and SDI 4 connectors. You can use this configuration to digitize video from two VTRs in parallel.

Notes

• If multiple VTRs are connected, make sure that all VTRs are synchronized (± 1H) .
• Set the EE/PB setting of the VTR to PB.

Usage Precautions

Precautions for products with built-in HDD

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 loss 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 loss 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.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.
• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface, place on a level, stable surface.
• Do not place the unit near other devices that may become a source of vibrations.
• When moving the unit, always turn the power supply off.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning 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 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.

Temperature and humidity related precautions

Use and store the unit only in locations where the specified temperature and humidity ranges are not exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the specifications of this unit.)

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.

Replacement of the HDD and other consumable parts

The HDD and battery are consumable parts that will need periodic replacement.

When operating at room temperature, a normal replacement cycle will be about 2 to 5 years.

However, this replacement cycle represents only a general guideline and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact your dealer.

For details about the replacement cycle, contact your Sony sales or service representative.

Power supply precautions

If the unit is suddenly turned off during operation, data loss may occur. To maintain data integrity, the use of an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended.

To disconnect the power cord or turn off the breaker, always press the On/Standby button on the unit to stop the unit before proceeding.

USB device precautions

When using the unit when connected to a self-powered USB device (such as the ODS-D77U), the device may not be recognized, depending on the timing of when the device is turned on. If this occurs, turn the USB device off and on again, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

Network precautions

Depending on the operating environment, unauthorized third parties on the network may be able to access the system.

We strongly recommend configuring all of the passwords for security purposes.

Configure all the passwords following the procedure on page29.

From a safety standpoint, when using the unit connected with the network, it is strongly recommended to access the Control window via a Web browser and change the access limitation settings from the factory preset values (page30).

Changing the password regularly is also recommended.

Do not browse any other website in the Web browser while making settings or after making settings. Since the login status remains in the Web browser, close the Web browser when you complete the settings to prevent unauthorized third parties from using the unit or harmful programs from running.
