Features
The PMW-1000 is a full-HD (1920 × 1080 and 1280 × 720) memory recorder.
It features an enhanced networking and other IT functions, and is highly compatible with nonlinear editing systems and network production systems, enabling efficient file-based operation.
The unit can be used as a player for video editing and program output, and as a recorder for nonlinear editing. For these applications, the unit can be connected via its SDI I/O connectors to earlier nonlinear editors, monitors, and video equipment with SDI interfaces.
It has a compact, lightweight body for easy portability outdoors, and can be powered from any of three power sources: AC, DC, or battery ^1) power.
1) BKP-L551 Battery Adaptor is required.
Features of this unit
The principal features of this unit are as follows.
Multiple codecs
MPEG HD422 codec
The MPEG HD422 codec provides video compression complied with the MPEG-2 422P@HL standard. It enables HD 4:2:2 (50 Mbps) digital component file recording in the 1080i (1080 effective scanning lines, interlaced) format currently in use by many broadcast facilities. Uncompressed PCM recording of 24-bit 48 kHz audio enables 8-channel audio recording at high sound quality.
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec
This unit supports the XAVC ^™ format complied with the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec as a recording format and enables HD 4:2:2 digital component file recording (Intra 100 Mbps, Long 50/35/25 Mbps) in 1080i/720P format.
Uncompressed PCM recording of 24-bit 48 kHz audio enables 8-channel audio recording at high sound quality.
Recording and playback functions
Support for MPEG/XAVC/SD with multiple codecs
In addition to the MPEG HD422 codec and XAVC MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec, this unit supports the MPEG HD420 codec, allowing HD operation across a wide range of recording times and application objectives.
The unit is also capable of DVCAM codec recording and IMX playback (30/40/50 Mbps).
Support for multiple frame frequencies
This unit can record and play multiple frame frequencies at 1080 (59.94i, 50i, 29.97P, 25P and 23.98P) or 720 (59.94P and 50P) with MPEG HD422 codec and XAVC codec.
SD up-convert function
The unit can output HD signals while playing SxS memory cards recorded as SD, allowing SD material to be utilized in an HD environment.
HD down-convert function
The unit is provided with a downconvert function. HD playback signals can be downconverted to SD signals and then output as SDSDI or composite signals. This allows you to use SD nonlinear editors and monitors for editing and program output.
HDSDI remote recording
HDSDI connections can be made to camcorders with remote HDSDI support (PDW-700 XDCAM HD422 camcorder, HDW-730/730S/750/790/F900R HDCAM camcorders) to enable recording synchronized to REC and STOP operations on the camcorder.
1080/720 cross-conversion
This unit supports cross-conversion output. It can output 720 while playing media recorded as 1080, and output 1080 while playing media recorded as 720.
Recording of proxy AV data
Proxy AV data is a low-resolution (1.5 Mbps video, 64 kbps per audio channel), MPEG-4 based version of a full resolution data stream. Whenever this unit records full resolution MPEG HD422 data, it simultaneously generates and records low-resolution proxy AV data. Because of its small size, proxy AV data can be transferred quickly over computer networks, easily edited in the field with laptop computers, and readily used in a wide variety of applications, such as content management on small-scale servers.
High-speed searches with the jog and shuttle dials
The jog and shuttle dials can be used to find scenes inside clips, in the same way as the jog and shuttle dials on conventional VTRs.
In jog and variable modes, you can search in field units at from -2 to +2 times normal speed. In shuttle mode, you can perform high-speed searches at either ±20 times normal speed. High-speed F.FWD and F.REV searching is possible at ±35 times normal speed.
Convenient playback and searching
Like previous products in the XDCAM series, this unit supports a number of convenient search functions, including, thumbnail searches, essence marks searches, and expand searches.
Thumbnail searches: The unit creates thumbnails from the first frame of each generated clip, and displays them in thumbnail lists on the color LCD or an external monitor. You can cue up clips very easily by simply by selecting them from thumbnail lists.
Essence mark searches: Essence marks can be recorded at any scene during or after recording. Lists of these marks can be displayed on the color LCD or an external monitor, allowing you to quickly find scenes that were marked for later reference.
Expand searches: This function allows you to look inside the clip selected in a thumbnail screen, or inside the segment from a selected essence mark to the next essence mark. The selection range is divided into 12 equal blocks, and the first frames of those blocks are displayed as thumbnails. By checking the thumbnails, you can easily find the scene you want.
Usability features
AC, DC, and battery 1) power support
The unit can be used even where AC power is not available, for example outdoors or in cars or helicopters.
1) BKP-L551 Battery Adaptor is required.
Color LCD display
The unit is equipped with a 16:9, 4.3-inch color LCD which allows you to check the contents of the SxS memory card and use the menu system without connecting an external monitor.
Built-in speakers
The unit features built-in speakers, allowing you to check recorded audio. You can check your clips and editing results on the color LCD and speakers even when no monitors or separate speakers are available.
IT friendly
Equipped with network connector
The unit features a Gigabit Ethernet connector as standard equipment. Via this connector, you can connect the unit to computers and networks to enable listing of the video, audio, and metadata files recorded on the SxS memory card, and rapid file transfers. Support for FTP commands makes it easy to carry out network file transfers from remote locations.
Use network within a secure environment.
Supports SNMP for maintenance and service
This unit supports Sony's SNMP-based remote maintenance and monitoring software. This software allows you to monitor the status of the hardware via a TCP/IP network in real time, and to record the results in a status log.
Use SNMP within a secure environment.
Supports a variety of interfaces
This unit supports the following interfaces.
• HDSDI video, 8-channel audio input and output
- SDSDI video, 8-channel audio input and output (the SD/HDSDI INPUT connector doubles as an SDSDI/HDSDI input connector)
- HDMI output
- SD composite output
- Analog audio 2-channel input and output
- Remote
- RS-422A (D-sub 9-pin × 1)
Copying files between a USB external storage and an SxS memory card
The unit is provided with a USB 3.0 interface on the front panel, allowing you to connect even a USB mass storage class (3 GB to 2 TB) device and use it as an external storage. You can copy clips and clip lists between this external storage and an SxS memory card.

Setting Timecode
There are the following four ways of recording timecode:
Internal Preset mode: This records the output of the internal timecode generator, set beforehand to an initial value. The following run modes can be selected.
• Free Run: Timecode always advances continuously as long as the unit is powered on.
- Rec Run: Timecode advances only during recording.
Internal Regen (regenerate) mode: This records the output of the internal timecode generator, initialized to timecode following continuously upon the timecode of the last frame of the last clip on the SxS memory card.
External Regen mode: This records the output of the internal timecode generator, synchronized to an external timecode generator. As the external input, the timecode input to any of the following connectors can be selected.
• TIME CODE IN connector: LTC
• SD/HDSDI INPUT connector: VITC and LTC
External Preset mode: This directly records the input of an external timecode generator. As the external input, the timecode input to any of the TIME CODE IN connector can be selected.
To record timecode after setting an initial value (Internal Preset)
Proceed as follows with the function menu. For setting the timecode, set TCG on page P4 TC of the function menu to "INT" and PRST/RGN to "PRESET".
Setting an initial timecode value
1 Press the CNTR SEL function button (F2) on the HOME page of the function menu, and select TC.
2 Press the TCG SET function button (F3).
The first digit of the time data display starts flashing.
3 Press the ← or → function button (F1 or F2) to select a digit to be set.
The selected digit starts flashing.
4 Use the PUSH SET knob or - or + function button (F3 or F4) to set the value for the selected digit.
To set the next-most significant digit (10s place)
Turn the PUSH SET knob while holding down the SHIFT button.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to set all digits that should be set.
To set to 00:00:00:00
Press the RESET/RETURN button.
5 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
1 Set RUN MODE on page P4 TC to "FREE RUN" and DF/NDF to "DF" (in 59.94i/59.94P/29.97P mode only).
2 Perform steps 1 to 4 of "Setting an initial timecode value" to set the timecode to a time slightly ahead of the current time.
3 Press the SET function button (F5) at the instant when the current time matches the displayed timecode.
Setting user bits
You can record up to 8 hexadecimal digits of information (date, time, event number, etc.) on the timecode track. Select UB by pressing the CNTR SEL function button (F2) in step 1 of "Setting an initial timecode value" and carry out steps 2 to 5. Settings are made in hexadecimal (0-9, A-F).
You can record ID codes in user bits.
To record timecode that follows sequentially upon the last recorded timecode (Internal Regen)
You can record timecode so that it is continuous from one clip to the next on the SxS memory card.
Set TCG on page P4 TC of the function menu to INT, and PRST/RGN to TC or VITC. When this setting is in force, the unit reads the timecode of the last frame of the last recorded clip on the SxS memory card before starting to record, and internally generates timecode that follows upon the recorded timecode.
The frame count mode (for system frequency 59.94i/59.94P/29.97P only) is set to the same mode as the last recorded timecode on the SxS memory card (drop-frame or non-drop-frame).
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.
1 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.
2 Make the following settings on page P4 TC of the function menu.
- Set TCG to "EXT".
- Set PRST/RGN to "TC".
1 Input an SDI signal containing embedded LTC to the SD/HDSDI INPUT connector, and a reference video signal to the REF. VIDEO INPUT connector.
2 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).
To check the synchronization to the external signal
Press the STOP button to stop this unit, then press the REC button.
Check that the timecode value shown in the time data display coincides with the external timecode value.
To record external timecode directly (External Preset)
When you use this method, the internal timecode generator advances without being affected by the external timecode.
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".

Notes
- Always use memory cards with sufficient remaining recording capacity for correct relay recording operation.
- Relay recording is supported only when the memory cards in both slots A and B use the same file system (UDF or exFAT).
- The maximum length of a clip is six hours. If the recording time exceeds the maximum clip length, a new clip is created and recording continues.
- Do not remove a memory card while it is recording. When exchanging memory cards during recording, only exchange the memory card in the slot for which the MEMORY ACCESS lamp is not lit.
- You cannot switch between memory cards by pressing the SLOT SELECT button during playback.
In relay recording mode, you can format an SxS memory card during recording.
For details, see "To format (initialize) an SxS memory card during recording" (page 69).
Recording with the HDSDI remote control function
This section explains the settings required for recording in HDSDI remote control mode, and how the unit operates in this mode.
Note
The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also support HDSDI remote output.
Settings
Set setup menu item 214 REMOTE INTERFACE to "SDI", and set the remote control switch on the front panel to "REMOTE".
This unit enters HDSDI remote control mode, in which it is controlled by command packets received via the SD/HDSDI INPUT connector.
Note
Commands received via the REMOTE (9P) connector are ignored in HDSDI remote control mode.
Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode
“RM-SDI” appears as network remote connection display (see page 17) in the status display area of the display screen. This display lights if command packets are embedded into HDSDI signals, and flashes if they are not. However, the “RM-SDI” continues to flash until the time the controlling camcorder is powered on and the time that the REC button is pressed on the camcorder.
Recording operation
When a recordable SxS memory card is inserted, recording (or stop) is executed according to the REC (or STOP) command embedded into the HDSDI signals. Recording stops automatically when the end of the SxS memory card is reached.
When HDSDI signals are interrupted during recording
Recording stops if HDSDI signals are interrupted during recording, for example because the HDSDI cable is disconnected or the controlling camcorder is powered off. When HDSDI signal input is restored, the unit resumes operation according to the embedded REC or STOP command.
During recording, you cannot exchange from the currently used SxS memory card to another.
To exchange, first stop the recording. Then press the SLOT SELECT button to swap slots, or remove the SxS memory card and insert a different one.
After an SxS memory card is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the REC or STOP command embedded in the HDSDI signal.
If an SxS memory card is removed when a clip is being recorded on it, the quality of that clip is not guaranteed.
For details, see “Handling of SxS memory cards when recording does not end normally (salvage functions)” (page 47).
Note
This unit begins recording operation about one second after the camcorder.
Handling of SxS memory cards when recording does not end normally (salvage functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if one of the following is performed during recording.
• The POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off.
• The power cord is disconnected.
• The SxS memory card is ejected.
- The write-protect switch is set to "WP."
Because the file system is not updated, video and audio data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip contents recorded up to that point are lost.
However, this unit has salvage functions which can hold losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such SxS memory cards.
Notes
- Even after recording finishes, do not set the POWER switch on the rear panel to off until the MEMORY ACCESS lamp has lit green.
• These functions salvage as much recorded material as possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100% restoration cannot be guaranteed.
- Even when these functions are used, it is not possible to recover data from immediately before the interruption of recording. The amount of data that will be lost depends on the video format (maximum 20 seconds of data before the interruption of recording).
- When you insert an SxS memory card that cannot be salvaged, or power the unit on with such SxS memory card loaded, the following warning message appears in the Status display area of the display screen.
Memory(A) needs Restoring (when slot A is selected)
- No recording is possible on SxS memory cards containing clips that have not been salvaged, although it is possible to play back the normally recorded sections. Recording becomes possible if you perform a format, but this erases all of the original recorded content.
To restore clips via salvage
When you insert an SxS memory card on which recording did not end normally, salvage will be performed automatically.

Copying
Overview
This unit enables a copy of clips, EDLs, and files to another SxS memory card or the external storage. A copy of those stored in the external storage to the SxS memory card is also possible.
By copying clips/EDLs on an SxS memory card to another SxS memory card or the external storage, you can reuse the SxS memory card 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 are copied as follows.
MP4/AVI clips: Clips in MP4 format are converted to MXF clips ^1) and copied to the MXF clip recording area managed by this unit. The copied clips can be handled as normal clips.
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.
1) The quality of video and audio data is not degraded.
For information about operations, see next section "Copy operations".
Limitations
- When you copy a clip with a duration that exceeds six hours, the clip is divided into separate clips at each six-hour point.
- Essence marks are limited to one per second when you convert and copy from the MP4 format to the MXF format.
- Index picture settings may be displaced forward or backward when you execute a copy.
- When an MXF clip 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 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.
- 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 in size

EDL Editing
What is EDL editing?
EDL editing is a function which allows you to select material (clips) from the material recorded on media and perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this unit only.
- EDL editing is a convenient way to perform cut editing in the field and in other offline situations.
- In EDL editing you create an EDL (editing list). Since the material itself is not affected, you can repeat this any number of times.
- You can play back the edit list created on this unit.
- Using the EDL editing function, you can easily perform functions with this unit, such as add entire clips, add partial clips, and delete sub clips.
- Changing the sequence of sub clips and modifying the IN/OUT points are not supported.
- An EDL (editing list) can be used on XPRI and other full-feature nonlinear editing systems.
Note
EDLs in which clips recorded in the XAVC Long 50/35/25 Mbps recording format coexist with clips recorded in other formats cannot be created.
Clips
Material recorded on media with this unit is managed in units called "clips". A clip contains the material from a recording start point to a recording end point. Clips have numbers beginning with C, for example C0001.
flowchart
graph TD
A["Recording start point of clip 2"] --> B["Clip 1 (C0001)"]
C["Recording end point of clip 2"] --> D["Clip 2 (C0002)"]
E["Recording end point of clip 2"] --> F["Clip 3 (C0003)"]
G["Recording end point of clip 2"] --> H["Clip 4 (C0004)"]
EDLs
You can use the EDL editing function to select clips from the clips saved on media and create a cut edit list called an "EDL".
EDLs have numbers beginning with E, for example E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on an SxS memory card.
Sub clips (clips in EDLs)
Clips (or parts of clips) that have been added to an EDL are called "sub clips". Sub clips are virtual editing data that specify ranges in the original clips. You can use them without modifying the original data.
The following figure illustrates the relation between clips and sub clips.
flowchart
graph TD
A["Clip 1 (C0001)"] --> D["Sub clip 1 Sub clip 2 Sub clip 3"]
B["Clip 2 (C0002)"] --> D
C["Clip 3 (C0003)"] --> D
E["Clip 4 (C0004)"] --> D
F["EDL (E0001)"] --> D
D --> G["Crossed to Sub clip 1 Sub clip 2 Sub clip 3"]
In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been added as sub clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has been added as sub clip 2.
Sub clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when EDL E0001 is played back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the part of clip 3 shown in gray color is played.
EDL editing (current EDL)
To edit an EDL on media, you must first select the target EDL for editing. Existing EDLs and newly created EDLs can be selected. The target EDL for editing is called the "current EDL".
EDLs are automatically saved to media when they are created and modified.
The current EDL icon is displayed in the status indicator area in the clip list display when the current EDL is selected.
EDL playback
Clips and EDLs are saved together on media. To play an EDL, insert the media into the unit, load the EDL that you want to play, and press the PLAY button. Clips are played according to the data in the EDL.
Creating and editing EDLs
The following table lists the steps in the creation and editing of EDLs with the EDL editing function. To create an EDL, you always need to carry out the steps inside the heavy lines. Other steps can be carried out as required.
| 1 | Create EDLs: Use the CREATE NEW EDL command to create an EDL containing the selected clips. |
| 2 | Add sub clips: Use the ADD TO CURT.EDL command to add the clips you want to use to an EDL. You can add up to 300 sub clips to one EDL. |
| 3 | Delete sub clips: Use the REMOVE command to delete specified sub clips from an EDL. |
| 4 | Play the EDL: Use the PLAY button and other playback controls to play the current EDL and check its contents. |

a) A "jumbo" frame is a frame larger than the maximum 1514 bytes (not including FCS) of the standard Ethernet frame. Jumbo frames make it possible to deliver larger payloads per packet. Since fewer packets need to be routed, packet processing overhead is lower and network throughput is potentially improved. (Note that this item is enabled only when LINK SPEED is set to "1Gbps FullDuplex". For it to work, all other devices that handle packets on the network must also support jumbo frames.)

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.
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.

Using UMID Data
Metadata is additional information recorded on SxS memory cards along with audio-visual data. It is used to bring greater efficiency to the flow of operations from material acquisition through editing, and to make it easier to find and reuse material.
As one of application of metadata, the UMID has been internationally standardized.
What is a UMID?
A UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE ST 330:2004 standard.
A UMID may be either as a 32-byte Basic UMID or an Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32 bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes.
For details, refer to SMPTE ST 330.
Extended UMID (64 bytes)
| Basic UMID (32 bytes) Source Pack (32 bytes) |
| Universal label L | | Instance No. | Material Number | Time/Date | Spatial Coordinates | Country | Org User |
| 12 bytes | 1 | 3 bytes | 16 bytes | 8 bytes 12 | bytes | 4 bytes | 4 bytes 4 | bytes |
A globally unique ID is automatically recorded for every clip.
The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional information such as location, time/date, company ID and so on.
The UMID is applied as follows.
Original material: 00 00 00
Copied material: generation number (1 byte)
+ random number (2 bytes)
Distinguish between the original material and copied material
Material source ID/detecting material
Metadata pack that identifies the source of material unit by defining the when, where and who of the material unit with which it is associated.
Using the Extended UMID
You have to enter a country code, organization code and user code. Set the country code referring to the table in ISO 3166, and set the organization code and user code according to the guidelines of your organization.
For details, see “Setting UMID ownership information” (page 115).
Functions of UMID data
UMID data enables the following:
- Addition of a globally unique ID to every clip of audiovisual material. The unique ID is used to detect the material source and to link it with the original source material.
- Distinguishing between original material and copied material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original material.
- Recording with UTC time. UTC (coordinated universal time) is used when recording the UMID. Use of a universal time system enables uniform management of source material recorded all over the world.
- Calculation of date differences. Source material is recorded using modified Julian dates (MJD), which enables easy calculation of date differences between different source material items.
Proceed as follows.
1 Set setup menu item 029 STORED OWNERSHIP to "on" (see page 79).
See page 80 for more information about setup menu operations.
The STORED OWNERSHIP (UMID ownership information setting) screen appears.
COUNTRY: Sets the country code.
ORGANIZATION: Sets the organization code.
USER: Sets the user code
See the next item “About the UMID ownership information” for more information about these codes.
2 Use the PUSH SET knob to select the item to set and the character input location, then press the knob.
3 Use the PUSH SET knob, - or + function button (F3 or F4) to select characters to input at the selected location.
To delete all input data
Press the RESET/RETURN button.
4 Press SAVE function button (F5).
The message “NOW SAVING...” appears, and the ownership information is saved.
COUNTRY (country code)
Set the country code by entering an abbreviated alphanumeric string (4-byte alphanumeric string) according to the values defined in ISO 3166-1.
There are about 240 country codes.
Find your own country code on the following web page.
Refer to ISO 3166-1:
http://www.iso.org/iso/country-codes/iso_3166_code_lists.htm
When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part of the code occupies the first part of the 4 bytes and the remainder must be filled with the space character (20h).
Example: Japan
For Japan, the country code is JP, which is 2 bytes, or JPN, which is 3 bytes.
Thus, enter the following:
JP_ _
or
JPN _
where
ORGANIZATION (organization code)
Enter a 4-byte alphanumeric string for the organization code.
Notes
- There are no problems in recording or playing back audio-video signals, even if the ORGANIZATION is not set.
- Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the SMPTE registration office. When no organization code has been acquired, it is forbidden to enter an arbitrary string. As a rule, the code “00” must be entered.
Freelance operators who do not belong to an origination should enter “\~”.
USER (user code)
Enter a 4-byte alphanumeric string to identify the user. The user code is registered with each organization locally. It is usually not centrally registered.
When the user code is less than 4 bytes, enter the user code at the beginning of the 4 bytes and fill the remainder of the string with the space character (20h).
This user code is determined by the organization. The methods used depend on the organization.
Note
User code cannot be entered when no organization code has been entered.
Ancillary Data
This unit can play and record ancillary data multiplexed into HDSDI signals. It can also input and output ancillary data in MXF files when transferring files via FTP/CIFS connections. Transferable auxiliary data includes text data (captions and metadata) and control signals.
Ancillary data in HDSDI/SDSDI signals
This unit can record and play back closed captions conforming to the EIA-708-B ^1) standard and EIA-608-B ^1) standard, and text data conforming to the ARIB TR B-23 ^2) standard which comprise the VANC (Vertical ancillary data) packets.
1) EIA: Electronic Industries Alliance
2) ARTB: Association of Radio Industries and Businesses
To record ancillary data
In maintenance menu, set the lines where ancillary data is inserted, the DID (Data Identifier word), and the SDID (Secondary Data Identifier word).
For details, refer to maintenance menu item M3B (page 96).
To record and playback EIA-708-B standard closed caption data in HDSDI signals
Set maintenance menu items.
- Sub items of maintenance menu item M3B0: VANC RX PACKET
- LINE (line for the VANC to be received): 9LINE (example)
- DID (data identification word): 61h
- SDID (secondary data identification word): 01h
To record EIA-608-B standard closed caption data in HDSDI signals
Set maintenance menu items.
- Sub items of maintenance menu item M3B0: VANC RX PACKET
- LINE (line for the VANC to be received): 9LINE (example)
- DID (data identification word): 61h
- SDID (secondary data identification word): 02h
VANC packets
- The Japanese ARIB TR-B23 standard limits the number of packets that can be multiplexed into HDSDI to 4 packets per line.
- The number of VANC packets that can be recorded depending on the relevant maintenance menu settings is limited to 9 packets per frame for 50P or 59.94P mode and 18 packets per frame for other modes.
- When VANC packets are not continuous from word 0, and there is unused area on the line, then information about the packet position is not recorded. Packets are output flush left.
- During input, if a parity error is detected in a VANC packet, the packet is discarded and recorded flush left.
Ancillary data in MXF files
VANC ancillary data recorded from an HDSDI signal is inserted to an MXF file as an ANC Frame Element (conforming to the SMPTE ST 436:2006). This data can also be recorded on the SxS memory card from an MXF file that has been input via CIFS/FTP.
HANC/VANC packets
Detection of HANC/VANC packets
When an MXF file has been input, HANC/VANC packets are recorded on the SxS memory card if the DATA ITEM of the head frame is identified as ANC Frame Elements conforming to the SMPTE ST 436:2006.
Closed caption data
This section explains the closed caption data that can be recorded, played back, and output during EE output.
Normal EIA-708/608 recording and playback
In response to closed caption input data that complies with the EIA-708/608 standards, record, play, and output that data with no changes.
However, settings are required for recording of closed caption data in HDSDI signals.
For details, see "To record and playback EIA-708-B standard closed caption data in HDSDI signals" (page 116) or "To record EIA-608-B standard closed caption data in HDSDI signals" (page 116).
