1-1 Features

The HDW-2000/M2000/M2000P is a high-definition (HD) digital videocassette recorder based on the HDCAM format.

This unit uses large scale integrated circuits for signal processing, and has a simple internal construction, allowing it to provide functionality at least equivalent to a conventional VTR in a compact (4U size), lightweight, and low power consumption design. In addition to HDCAM format recording and playback, the HDW-M2000/M2000P can also play back tapes recorded in the Digital Betacam, MPEG IMX, Betacam SX, and analog Betacam formats.

HDCAM format

The HDCAM format uses the same 12.65-mm width tape as the conventional Betacam series. It provides high definition images, offering up to two hours of recording. For video signal compression, prefiltration and coefficient recording technologies are used.

High-performance heads and compatibility functions

The newly developed high-performance heads and dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide high-density recording and playback in narrow tracks with high reliability. In addition to HDCAM recording and playback heads, the unit is equipped with Betacam SX playback heads and analog Betacam DT heads, for compatibility with existing recording formats. The VTR automatically detects the recording format of tapes when they are loaded, so that no menu settings need to be made when changing formats.

High-precision digital signal processing and range of interfaces

The digital signal processing uses HD 4:2:2 component video signals complying with SMPTE 292M, which are converted into parallel data and then compressed into HDCAM format.

The audio signals are based on AES/EBU format, and are subjected to digital signal processing without being compressed.

The unit is equipped with a high definition to standard definition (HD to SD) downward converter, and has the following interfaces as standard equipment, for ease of connection to different external devices.

• SD analog composite signal output • SD analog component signal output • Analog audio signal input/output (4 channels) • HDSDI SMPTE 292M input/output (HD digital video/audio, 4 channels) • SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/audio, 4 channels) • AES/EBU serial digital audio input/output (4 channels) • SDTI SMPTE 305M input/output (HDCAM video/audio data) (Option) • Time code input/output • CUE audio input/output

High quality four-channel audio

High quality 20 bit/48 kHz AES/EBU digital audio is supported. There are four digital audio input/output channels, and four analog audio input/output channels.

Recording and playback of SDTI compressed data (optional)

This unit can be fitted with SDTI input/output complying with SMPTE 305M, and can therefore be used for transferring HDCAM data, audio data, metadata, and so on to a VTR or nonlinear device via an SDTI interface.

Multifunction control panel

While built in a compact 4U size, this unit has a front panel which provides a wide range of functions while maintaining existing operability.

Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle dial

The basic buttons and jog/shuttle dial for VTR and editing operations are provided in the conventional VTR layout, ensuring continuity with conventional operating panels.

Time data display

This can be selected to display a CTL counter value, time code value, or time code user bits. It can also display edit points and edit durations.

Menu-based control interface

The time data/menu display shows not only various values and settings, but also the pages of a menu system for commonly used functions. You can use the function keys and MULTI CONTROL knob to easily change settings.

Other operation settings, including interfacing with external devices, can be set from the control panel by the same type of setup menu system as on a conventional VTR.

High quality variable speed playback and digital jog sound function

In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved through unique multihead playback technology. In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound function provides the same ease of operation as for a conventional analog VTR.

Wide range of editing functions

By combining two units, you can carry out both assemble editing and insert editing automatically. All of the necessary editing functions are provided to set and amend edit points, to preview and review results of editing, and so on.

DMC editing

This allows automatic editing with a varying playback speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.

Split editing

In insert editing, this allows editing with the audio IN and OUT points to be displaced from the video edit points.

Preread editing

This allows you to play back prerecorded video and audio material, edit it by applying effects with an external device, and then rerecord in real time on the same tape.

Cross-fade editing

In audio editing, to avoid unnatural effects at edit points, you can fade the audio track. You can select cut-in, fade-in, fade-out, or cross-fade.

Downward converter function

The unit has an HD-to-SD downward converter function, and can output standard definition SDI, analog component and analog composite signals even while playing back an HDCAM format tape.

Upward converter function (HDW-M2000/M2000P only)

The HDW-M2000/M2000P features a standard definition to high definition (SD-to-HD) upward converter as standard equipment. This allows high-quality HD signals to be output even when playing back tapes recorded in formats other than HDCAM.

Tele-File functions

Tele-File enables data writing/reading between cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases the efficiency of operations such as recording, playback and editing, and source data management.

Remote control function

This unit can be controlled from an external remote controller or editor through an interface complying with RS-422A (serial 9-pin). Since two remote control connectors are provided, you can also control a number of VTRs simultaneously.

Additionally, a parallel (50-pin) interface is also fitted as standard, supporting easy external control through the parallel interface.

Rack mounting

Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor, you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.

For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation Manual.

4-1 Recording

This section describes video and audio recording on the unit.

4-1-1 Preparations for Recording

Switch and menu settings

Before beginning recording, make necessary switch and menu settings.

For details on each setting, see the pages indicated in parenthesis.

Adjusting the audio recording levels

When carrying out audio recording at a reference level

Leave the REC controls pressed in. The audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level (a reference -20 dB indication for an input of +4 dBm).

Manually adjusting the recording levels

For each channel, press to protrude the REC control in the upper control panel, and adjust so that the audio level indication is 0 dB for an average volume. Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description of the REC button in the tape transport control section (page 2-10) and the PB/EE setting in function menu HOME page (page 9-3).

To change the display range of the audio level indications

Press the DISPLAY FULL/FINE button (see page 2-4).

To monitor the simultaneous playback of the recorded video and audio signals

Set the CONFI to ENABLE (see page 9-3) to light the CONFI indicator. It is now possible to simultaneously monitor the video and audio signals being recorded.

To use the emphasis function

To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or analog playback audio signal, set the EMPHSS to ON (see page 9-6).

When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is played back, it is automatically subjected to deemphasis processing.

Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing enables the dynamic range to be improved by reducing high-frequency noise.

4-1-2 Recording Time Code and User Bit Values

There are three ways of recording time code, as follows:

• Setting an initial value, then recording the output of the internal time code generator
• Recording the output of the internal time code generator synchronized to an external time code generator

To set an initial value then record the time code

If necessary, change the settings in function menu page 1 (see page 9-4).

Set the TCG (F1) to INT, and the PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET.

Setting an initial time code value

Use the following procedure.

1 Set the CTL/TC to TC. 2 Press the F6 (TCGSET) button.

The function menu display changes as follows.

TCGSET	00:00:00:00
	←	→	+	-	SET EXIT

The first digit of the time code value (8 digits: hours, minutes, seconds, and frames) flashes.

To set all digits to zero, press the RESET button.

3 Press the F1 (←) or F2 (→) button to select the digit to be changed. Pressing the F2 (→) button moves the flashing digit position to the right, and pressing the F1 (←) button moves the flashing digit position to the left. 4 Turn the MULTI CONTROL knob or press the F3 (+)/F4 (−) button to change the value in the flashing digit position. 5 Until all the digits are set as required, repeat steps 3 and 4. 6 Press the F5 (SET) button.

When the RUN is set to FREE in function menu page 1, the time code value immediately starts advancing.

Setting the time code value to the real time

With the settings in function menu page 1 set as follows, carry out the foregoing procedure under the heading “Setting an initial time code value”. In steps 3 and 4, set the value slightly after the current time, then carry out step 6 at the instant the real time catches up with the setting.

TCG (F1): INT

PR/RGN (F2): PRESET

RUN: FREE

DF: DF (59.94i, 29.97PsF mode only)

Setting a user bit value

The user bit values recorded on the time code track provide for eight hexadecimal digits, which can be used to hold the date, time, or other information.

Use the following procedure.

1. Set the CTL/TC to UB. 2. Carry out the procedure in steps 2 to 6 under the heading above, "Setting an initial time code value".

You can set each digit to any hexadecimal value, represented by 0 to 9, and A to F.

Note

If any of the settings in item G03 of the shot mark operation menu is set to ON (to write a recording start mark), then the user bits are overwritten with the shot mark data for 20 frames from the start of recording in crash record mode, assemble edit mode, or insert edit mode.

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an external signal

Use this method to synchronize the time code generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the playback time code signal from an external VTR without deterioration of the signal waveform. In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored. You can synchronize the internal time code generator to either of the following external time codes.

• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code generator or external VTR connected to the TIME CODE IN connector of the unit • The time code (LTC and VITC) present in the HDSDI signal input to the unit

To synchronize the internal time code generator to an external signal, use the following procedure.

1 • When synchronizing to an external time code output (LTC): Connect the time code output of the external time code generator or external VTR to the TIME CODE IN connector. - When synchronizing to the time code (VITC) in an input video signal: With the VID.IN in function menu HOME page, select the HDSDI signal.

2 Make the following settings in function menu page 1. - To synchronize to the external time code signal input to this unit's TIME CODE IN connector: TCG (F1): EXT PR/RGN (F2): LTC

• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the HDSDI signal input to this unit: TCG (F1): SDI PR/RGN (F2): LTC • To synchronize to VITC data contained in the HDSDI signal input to this unit: TCG (F1): SDI PR/RGN (F2): VITC

This starts the internal time code generator running in synchronization with the external time code generator.

Once the internal time code generator is synchronized with the external time code generator, even if the external time code generator connection is removed, the internal time code generator continues to run.

Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1) is set to EXT or SDI has the effect as setting PR/RGN (F2) to LTC.

4-1-3 Recording Procedure

4-2-3 Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback

Overview

DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode (from -1 to +2 times normal speed) and store the varying speed in memory for later playback at the same varying speed.

For example, during a live broadcast of a sporting event you can set the start and end points of highlights while recording, and then provide immediate DMC playback of those highlights.

During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the following figure.

Storing a varying playback speed in memory

To store the playback speed for DMC playback, use the following procedure.

1 Press the DMC EDIT button, turning it on. 2 Either while playing back the recorded tape, or during recording, press the ENTRY button and one of the following buttons simultaneously, to set the start and end points.

5-1 Automatic Editing

This section describes how to carry out automatic editing with this unit and another VTR connected to the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector or the REMOTE1-OUT(9P) connector.

5-1-1 Overview

Editing mode

With this unit, you can use the following two edit modes for automatic editing.

- Assemble editing

This is the editing mode in which successive portions of the edited result are recorded on the end of the already completed section.

The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and time code are all newly recorded on the tape.

- Insert editing

In this mode, new material is recorded at an intermediate point of an existing recording. The CTL signal is not recorded. The video signal, audio signal, and time code signal can all be independently recorded.

You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes. In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

Using CTL to interpolate time code values

When you are using time code values as edit point addresses, the time code must be recorded on the tape in correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in strictly ascending time order).

If the time code values are all in correct time sequence, then if there are any discontinuities in the time code, the unit allows them to be interpolated using the CTL counter.

Recording time code

For automatic editing, regardless of the TCG (F1) and PR/RGN (F2) settings, time code is recorded continuously from the previous time code recorded on the tape.

Using setup menu item 610, it is also possible to record time code according to the settings in the function menu.

Sequence of editing operations

The following flowchart outlines the sequence of operations in automatic editing with two VTRs.

Using an editing control unit

When controlling this unit with an editing control unit, set an edit delay on the editing control unit so that cut in and cut out instructions are output 5 frames before the actual edit point.

5-1-2 Switch and Menu Settings

Before beginning editing, make necessary switch and menu settings.

Recorder settings

Player settings

5-1-3 Selecting the Editing Mode

To select the editing mode

Select assemble editing or insert editing.

Depending on the editing mode, press the following button or buttons.

• For assemble editing: ASSEMBLE button
• For insert editing: the desired INSERT buttons (VIDEO, CH1 to CH4, CUE, and TC)

When you select the editing mode, the IN/OUT buttons begin to flash, indicating that the edit points require setting.

5-1-4 Setting Edit Points

Set the edit points (IN and OUT points). To use split editing in insert mode, you can set the audio and video edit points separately.

To set an edit point

1 Press the RECORDER button or PLAYER button to select the VTR on which you will set the edit point.

The button which you have pressed lights.

2 Turn the search dial in jog or shuttle mode, and position the tape at the required edit point.

For details of playback in jog or shuttle mode, see the sections “Playback in jog mode” and “Playback in shuttle mode” (page 4-7).

3 At the point at which you wish to set the IN point or OUT point, hold down the ENTRY button and press the IN button or OUT button.

When the IN point or OUT point is set, the IN button or OUT button respectively lights.

4 Repeat steps 1 to 3 until all the necessary edit points are set.

When the IN points on both the recorder and player are set, the PREVIEW button and AUTO EDIT button flash, and it becomes possible to carry out a preview or editing operation.

Automatic setting of edit points

Editing requires four edit points: the IN and OUT points on both the recorder and player. However, once any three of these points are defined, the last point is set automatically. For example, if you set the recorder IN and OUT points, and the player IN point, the player OUT point is set automatically.

Note

In the following cases, the DELETE button begins to flash and you cannot carry out automatic editing.

• The OUT point is before the IN point.
• All four of the recorder IN and OUT points and the player IN and OUT points have been set. Use the DELETE button to delete a redundant edit point, or set the edit points correctly.

For details of deleting edit points, see the section “Deleting an edit point” (page 5-6).

Setting split edit points

In split editing, you can set the edit points for audio and video independently. Set the audio edit points with the AUDIO IN/OUT buttons, and the video edit points with the IN/OUT buttons.

Note that split editing is only possible when the recording mode is insert editing.

1 Press the desired INSERT button (VIDEO, CH1 to CH4, CUE, or TC).

The IN/OUT buttons flash.

2 Press the RECORDER or PLAYER button to select the VTR for which edit points are to be set.

The button you have pressed lights.

3 To find the edit point, rotate the search dial in jog or shuttle mode.

For details of jog/shuttle mode playback, see the sections “Playback in jog mode” and “Playback in shuttle mode” (page 4-7).

4 Press the ENTRY button together with one of the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN, and AUDIO OUT buttons, to set the edit point.

Once an edit point is set, the corresponding button changes from flashing to continuously lit.

5 Repeat steps 2 through 4 to set the required edit points.

As each edit point is set, the corresponding button changes from flashing to continuously lit.

Note

During split editing, if you set six or more edit points for the recorder and player, the DELETE button starts to flash to indicate that such a setup is impossible. Delete all unnecessary edit points, using the DELETE button.

For details of how to delete edit points, see the section "Deleting an edit point" (page 5-6).

Automatic setting of edit points in split editing

Split editing requires a total of eight edit points: four video edit points (player IN and OUT and recorder IN and OUT) and four audio edit points (player audio IN and OUT and recorder audio IN and OUT). However, as soon as you set five points, the system automatically calculates and sets the remaining three points.

Specifically, once you have set three of the four video edit points and two audio edit points, the remaining 3 three edit points are set automatically, regardless of whether these points are for the recorder or player.

In the figure below, the edit points shown within boxes are already set. The other edit points (recorder audio OUT point, and player audio IN and video OUT points) are set automatically.

Note that any edit point can be deleted or corrected later regardless of whether it was set manually or automatically.

You can set audio cut in, crossfade, fade in, and fade out effects, including their durations, by menu selection.

For details, refer to the Installation Manual.

When the audio IN point is not set for insert editing of audio only

As long as the audio OUT point is set, the VTR is ready for preview or editing. If the audio IN point has not been set, the current tape position is automatically used as the audio IN point.

Using a VTR without a split editing function as the player

When it is not possible to set separate audio and video edit points on the VTR you are using as the player, you can carry out split editing by setting the audio IN and OUT points and three video edit points on the recorder (this unit).

To display the time value for an edit point

You can display the time value for an edit point in the time data/menu display section (see page 2-7).

The edit point appears in time data display area 2.

2 Hold down the IN, OUT, AUDIO IN or AUDIO OUT button according to the edit point you wish to check.

While you hold down the button, the corresponding indicator lights in the upper line of time data display area 2, and the time value of the edit point is displayed.

To display the duration of an edit segment

You can display the duration between two edit points in the following three cases, in the time data/menu display section (see page 2-7).

• When two edit points are set: the duration of the segment between the two points
• When only one edit point is set: the duration of the segment between the point which is set and the current tape position
• When no edit point is set: the duration of the previous edit segment

The duration is displayed in time data display area 2, thus: “DURATION 0:01:10:00”.

To display a duration, use the following procedure.

1 Press the RECORDER button or PLAYER button to select the VTR on which you wish to check the duration.

The button which you have pressed lights.

2 Hold down both of the IN and OUT buttons, or AUDIO IN and AUDIO OUT buttons.

5-3 Special Automatic Editing Methods

This section describes the following automatic editing methods:

• Quick editing • Continuous editing
• Standalone editing
• Manual editing
• Preread editing

5-3-1 Quick Editing

After selecting the edit mode, you can save on editing time by setting the edit points and executing the edit at the same time.

For quick editing, use the following procedure.

1 When operating the player, press the PLAYER button, turning it on, and when operating the recorder, press the RECORDER button, turning it on, then stop the tapes on both the player and the recorder at the positions you wish to make the respective IN points.

2 Press the AUTO EDIT button.

Editing starts.

3 Watching the editing on the monitor, at the position you wish to make the OUT point, hold down the ENTRY button and press the OUT button.

Editing ends.

The point at which you started the editing becomes the IN point, and the point at which you ended the editing becomes the OUT point.

If you want to preview

In step 1, after setting the recorder or player IN point, press the PREVIEW button.

5-3-2 Continuous Editing

After an automatic editing operation, the recorder automatically returns to the OUT point. For the second and subsequent editing operations, you can continue editing by simply specifying the IN and OUT points on the player. In this case the current OUT point on the recorder becomes the new IN point.

After automatic editing of one edit segment, to carry out continuous editing use the following procedure.

1 Set the player IN and OUT points.

On the recorder the OUT point for the previous edit becomes the new IN point.

2 Press the PREVIEW button to carry out a preview.

3 Press the AUTO EDIT button.

This executes the edit.

When the editing operation is completed, the recorder stops at the OUT point, and the player stops 2 seconds after the OUT point.

By repeating this process, you can carry out continuous editing.

By setting setup menu item 326, you can make the preceding OUT point automatically become the new IN point.

5-3-3 Standalone Editing

This refers to editing using as the player an external device which cannot be controlled remotely through the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector. For example, you can record a color bar signal from a signal generator in the joints between the scenes of an already completed tape.

Carrying out standalone editing

Set the IN point with neither the PLAYER button or RECORDER button lit.

The AUTO EDIT button flashes, and it is now possible to carry out automatic editing.

If necessary, you can also first set the OUT point.

5-3-4 Manual Editing

Use the following procedure to carry out manual editing.

1 Press the RECORDER button, turning it on. 2 Use the search dial in jog or shuttle mode to find the editing start point (the recorder IN point), and stop the tape just before this point.

Note

If the recorder is in stop mode, then when editing starts this section of the video will break up.

3 Select the editing mode. 4 Press the PLAY button.

The recorder begins playback.

Note

It takes about two seconds until the playback video stabilizes. For this reason, start the playback from before the segment of video you wish to use.

5 At the editing start point (the recorder IN point), press the EDIT button and PLAY button simultaneously.

Editing starts.

6 At the editing end point (the recorder OUT point), press the PLAY button.

Editing ends, and the recorder continues with playback.

7 Press the STOP button to stop the recorder playback.

5-3-5 Preread Editing

Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing.

This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as this unit uses the preread heads to read the signals in advance from the tape.

The signals read out can be sent to a mixer for mixing, and can be recorded either on the original channels or on other digital audio channels.

For preread editing, set the PREREAD to ON (see page 9-7).

Notes

• In preread editing, if an input video signal is used as the reference signal for the output video signal, this forms a feedback loop. To prevent the occurrence of feedback, set the F2 (OUTREF) (see page 9-7) in function menu page 4 to REF, and set item 309 in the extended setup menu to AUTO1 (see page 10-15) so as to use an external reference signal.
• When the preread mode is selected, to prevent feedback due to the loop connection, whatever the editing mode of this unit, no E-E video output is available.

When the PREREAD is set to OFF after preread editing, however, if the loop connection remains and an E-E signal is output, feedback will occur.

To prevent this, select PB mode for the video and digital audio channels in all the modes before the preread editing, as follows.

1 Set F2 (PB/EE) in function menu HOME page to PB. 2 Set the F6 (PREREAD) (see page 9-7) in function menu page 4 to ON. 3 Make the necessary connections for the preread editing. 4 After selecting the desired insert editing mode, carry out the preread editing. 5 When the preread editing is completed, remove the connections. 6 Set the PREREAD to OFF. 7 Check that no loop connection remains.

6-1 Overview

This unit can record shot marks or use shot marks recorded on HDCAM tape. Shot marks are indications

at desired points on a tape which enable faster cuing.

Types of shot mark

This unit supports the following three types of shot mark. This chapter describes recording start marks and

post marks, treating them as varieties of shot marks.

Shot mark type	Writing on a camcorder, etc.	Writing on this unit	Modifying and deleting on this unit
Recording start mark	Automatically written at the start of recording.	Written or not according to a separate menu setting for each recording mode (crash recording, assemble editing, insert editing). For each mode for which the setting is “ON”, the mark is written automatically at the start of recording.	Possible
Shot mark 1 and shot mark 2	Written by a manual shot mark operation during recording or editing.	Written by a button operation during crash recording or assemble editing. A menu setting determines which of three types of mark is written: shot mark 1, shot mark 2, or post mark.
Post mark Not written	(Written only by this unit)	Written by a button operation during playback, while stopped, during a search, or during recording (crash recording or assemble editing).

First, the shot mark functions of this unit are described in simple terms.

Reading shot marks

This unit reads in shot marks written on a tape and stores them in memory (to a maximum of 200). Once this data is stored in this unit, it is preserved even when the power is turned off.

Writing and erasing shot marks

For recording start marks, a menu setting determines whether or not they are written each time recording starts. Shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post mark types can be written at any point on a tape, and also erased or rewritten.

Shot mark list operations

On the monitor, you can display a list of the shot marks read in by this unit, select required shot marks, delete shot marks, and so on. You can also add a memo mark (#) to a shot mark in the list. During tape playback, you can add virtual shot marks to the list. This is not written on the tape itself.

Cuing up to shot marks

By selecting a desired shot mark from the shot mark list, you can cue up immediately to that position. By means of a button operation, you can also cue up to the shot marks adjacent to the current tape position (index function).

Shot data display

When the tape includes shot data (camera, time, and other information captured at the time of shooting), you can read this in, and display the details on a monitor. It is also possible to display the shot mark list and shot data simultaneously.

Sorting shot marks by cassette

When the tape includes shot data, this unit recognizes which cassette each shot mark comes from. You can therefore sort the read-in shot marks by cassette in time code order.

6-2 Shot Mark Operation Menu

This section describes the settings in the shot mark operation menu.

Displaying the shot mark operation menu

8-1 Overview of UMID Functions

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a type of meta-data in video and audio materials. It has been internationally standardized in SMPTE Standard 330M. This unit supports recording and generation of UMIDs.

The UMID is made up of a section called the “Basic” section and a section called the “Source Pack” section. The Basic section contains information such as the device that recorded the material and whether the

material is the original or a copy. The Source Pack section contains information about when/where/who recorded the material.

A UMID with a Basic section only is called a Basic UMID. A UMID with both Basic and Source Pack sections is called an Extended UMID. The following figure shows a general overview of the information contained in a UMID.

8-2 Recording UMIDs

UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals with this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or automatically or forcibly generate a new UMID.

Selecting the type of UMID to record

Select whether to record a Basic UMID or an Extended UMID by using setup menu item 655 UMID RECORDING.

See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item 655.

Selecting whether to inherit or generate the UMID

When recording a UMID, you can select whether to inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or generate a new UMID. Make this selection by using setup menu item 656 MATERIAL NO.

See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item 656.

Selecting the Instance Number generation method when inheriting UMIDs

If you choose to inherit the UMID contained in input signals, almost all of the information in the UMID is copied without change, but the Instance Number changes to a value which indicates that “this UMID is a copy”. The new value can be generated from a 16-bit pseudo-random number with the addition of the number of copies (1 byte), or it can be generated from a 24-bit pseudo-random number. Select the method used to generate the Instance Number by using setup menu item 654 UMID GENERATE METHOD.

See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item 654.

Selecting the SDI VANC line to insert the UMID

You can select the VANC ¹⁾ line into which the generated UMID should be inserted. Make this selection by using setup menu item 653 UMID HD VANC LINE.

See page 10-22 for more information about setup menu item 653.

To set Stored Ownership

If you wish to set Stored Ownership (data in the Source Pack which indicates “who”) when generating a UMID, call up item 029 STORED OWNERSHIP in the setup menu and proceed as follows.

See Section 10-2 “Setup Menu Operations” (page 10-2) for more information about basic setup menu operations.

11-4 Moisture Condensation

When the unit is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm location, or used in a very humid place, moisture from the air can condense on the head-drum. This is called moisture condensation. If the tape is run in this state, it can adhere to the drum. To prevent such a condition from occurring, the unit is provided with a moisture detecting function.

If moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit is in use, the ALARM indicator lights and “ERR-10” is displayed in time data display area 1.

If moisture condensation occurs, "ERR-10" appears in time data display area 1.

If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and the cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the drum starts to rotate again to dry its surface. In this state, the unit is not operable. When the moisture has evaporated, the error message disappears and the ALARM indicator goes off.

If "ERR-10" appears and the ALARM indicator lights immediately after powering the unit on

Leave the unit powered on and wait until the error message disappears and the indicator goes off. While the indicator is lit, you cannot insert a cassette. When the indicator goes off and the error message disappears, you can use the unit.

If you move the unit from a cold to a warm location

Leave the unit powered off for about 10 minutes, in order to give the unit time to detect moisture condensation.

11-5 Regular Checks

11-5-1 Digital Hours Meter

The digital hours meter can display seven items of information, in corresponding display modes, about the operational history of the unit. Use it as a guide in scheduling periodic maintenance.

Display modes of the hours meter

H01: OPERATION mode

Displays the total number of hours the unit has been powered on in units of 1 hour.

H02: DRUM RUNNING mode

Displays the total number of hours the drum has run with tape threaded in units of 1 hour.

H03: TAPE RUNNING mode

Displays the total number of hours the unit has been in fast forward, rewind, playback, search, recording or editing (except for stop and still) mode in units of 1 hour.

H04: THREADING mode

Displays the total number of times tape has been threaded in the unit.

H12: DRUM RUNNING mode (resettable)

Same as H02 except that the count is resettable. This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace the drum.

H13: TAPE RUNNING mode (resettable)

Same as H03 except that the count is resettable. This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace such components as fixed heads and pinch rollers.

H14: THREADING mode (resettable)

Same as H04 except that the count is resettable. This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace, for example, the threading motor.

Displaying the digital hours meter

To display the digital hours meter

Press the F5 (MENU) button, then turn the MULTI CONTROL knob to display the required item in the time data display.

To exit from the hours meter

Press the F6 (EXIT) button.

11-5-2 Maintenance Timings

Use the following table as a timing guide for checking and replacing components of the unit. These intervals are not guaranteed lifetimes; the timing for replacing components depends on the particular conditions of use. In particular, depending on the degree of dirt contamination and abrasion, pinch rollers and cleaners may require replacement earlier than suggested by this table.

Note that an arrow in the table means that the component to be replaced is part of the assembly the arrow points to, which must be replaced as a whole.

For information on severe conditions (frequent threading/unthreading) or how to replace components, refer to the Maintenance Manual Volume 1.
