Clip Continuous Rec function
The system frequencies supported by this unit are divided
into frame frequency groups, as shown in the following
table.
Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every
time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec
function allows you to continue recording to the same clip
until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of
how many times recording starts and stops. This is
convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number
of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying
about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300).
1) The recording format is regarded as different whenever the system
frequency, video resolution, video codec/bit rate, or number of audio
channels or number of bits does not match.

High-speed searches with the jog and shuttle
dials
Color LCD display
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.
The unit is equipped with a 16:9, 4.3-inch color LCD
which allows you to check the contents of the disc and use
the menu system without connecting an external monitor.
In jog and variable modes, you can search in field units at
from –2 to +2 times normal speed. Shuttle mode supports
high-speed searches up to a maximum of 20 times normal
speed. (F.FWD and F.REV are possible up to 35 times
normal speed.)
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.
Convenient disc-based playback and searching
Like previous products in the XDCAM series, this unit
supports a number of convenient search functions,
including scene selection, thumbnail searches, essence
marks searches, and expand searches.
Tiltable front panel
The front panel is tiltable for easy rack-mount and desktop
operation. You can adjust the panel to the angle that makes
the buttons easiest to use.
Scene selection: This function allows you to select clips
from the disc and insert them into playlists. Clips can
be inserted and played back in any order.
Cache recording for seamless disc exchanges
About 30 seconds (this duration may differ depending on
the state of a disc) of video and audio data can be recorded
to the unit’s internal memory cache during a disc
exchange, and then written back to the newly loaded disc.
This allows seamless recording across extended recording
sessions, including recording of video feeds, with no
important scenes lost while discs are being exchanged.
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.
Cart system support
With its compact body, this unit can replace the SD PDW-
1500 unit. You can mount this unit in the PDJ-C1080 and
PDJ-A640 XDCAM cart systems.
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.
IT friendly
Computer access to files (file access mode)
Video and audio clip data are recorded as files. The FAM
function enables quick random access by computers to the
video, audio, and metadata files stored on Professional
Discs, with the ability to display thumbnail lists on the
computer screen and perform file-based reads and writes.
Filter Clips function
You can select clips of a certain type from among all of the
clips on a disc. For example, you can do the following.
• Select clips in a certain video format from a disc that
contains clips in different video formats.
• Select only clips with NG (bad) clip flags, and delete all
of those clips in one operation.
• Select only clips that were recorded according to
planning metadata, and use the Direct FTP function to
transfer those clips to an external device.
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 Professional
Disc, and rapid file transfers. Support for FTP commands
makes it easy to carry out network file transfers from
remote locations.
The unit has two optical pickups for high-speed transfers.
Direct FTP function
You can use this unit as a local FTP host to send and
receive MXF files to and from other XDCAM devices,

without using a computer. This function is available
through simple operations on the GUI screen.
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.
User data recording mode
User data (files other than XDCAM AV files) can be
recorded on Professional Discs as PC data via the i.LINK
or FTP interface. This allows Professional Discs to be used
as data recording media, with a data storage capacity of
46.4 GB (when dual-layer PFD50DLA discs are used).
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
input connector)

Pay attention to the following points when handling discs.
• Do not open disc cartridges and touch discs directly with
your hands.
• Do not store for long periods in locations which are
dusty or exposed to air circulated by fans.
• Do not store for long periods under high temperatures or
in locations exposed to direct sunlight.

If a read error occurs, a “Disc Error!” alarm appears in the time data
display, the picture freezes, and audio is muted.
Whether the disc displays the same playback condition
on other XDCAM devices: If so, the surface of the
disc may be dirty or scratched, or the performance of

Playback condition displays
You can be alerted in advance to deteriorating playback
conditions and to error correction rates which are
approaching their limits.
Deteriorating playback may be due to the following
causes.
• Scratches and dust on the disc surface
This includes fingerprints, dust from the air, tar from
cigarette smoke, and so on.
Scratches and soiling which occur before recording are
not a problem because they are registered in advance as
defects, and recording avoids them. However, scratches
and soiling which occur after recording can lead to
deteriorating playback conditions.
• Aging of disc recording layers
Over several decades, the recording layers of optical
discs can age and cause deteriorating playback
conditions.
You can use this function to check archival discs and
other discs which have been stored for extended periods,
so that you can take action before the deterioration
progresses further.
• Deteriorating laser diodes performance
The performance of the laser diodes used in optical
heads can worsen with age, leading to deteriorating
playback conditions.

Notes on handling
Handling
The Professional Disc is housed in a cartridge, and is
designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or
fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a
severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in
damage or scratching of the disc. If the disc is scratched, it
may be impossible to record video/audio, or to play back
the content recorded on the disc. The discs should be
handled and stored carefully.
• Do not touch the surface of the disc itself within the
cartridge.
• Deliberately opening the shutter may cause damage.
• Do not disassemble the cartridge.
• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for
indexing discs. Apply the label in the correct position.
Storage
• Do not store discs where they may be subjected to direct
sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or
humidity is high.
• Do not leave cartridges where dust may get inside.
• Store cartridges in their cases.
Care of the discs
• Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using
a soft dry cloth.

You can record clips with different recording formats, for
example HD422 and HD420SP clips, by putting this unit
into mixed format recording mode.
As long as the frame frequency group is the same, clips in
different recording formats can be recorded or written to
the same disc.
In this manual, this is referred to as “mixed format
recording mode”.
To enable mixed format recording mode

If you want to disable mixing of clips with different
recording formats, leave this item set to “DSABL”.
However, regardless of the mixed format recording mode
setting, it is always possible to mix clips in the following
format groups.
1) The recording format is regarded as different whenever the system
frequency, video resolution, video codec/bit rate, or number of audio
channels or number of bits does not match.
Notes
• HD420 HQ, SP, and LP
• 1080/59.94i and 1080/29.97P
• 1080/50i and 1080/25P
• Regardless of frame frequency group matching, it is not
possible to mix clips with different video resolutions
(number of system lines) in the same clip list.
• When the unit is in a mode that calls for playback across
clips that were recorded in different recording formats,
video and audio playback may stop at the point where
the format changes from one format into another, and
then start again.

Notes
• If the disc becomes full while setup menu item 150 REC
MODE is set to “disc exchange cache”, the disc is
ejected and the unit continues to record to its internal
memory (for about 30 seconds depending on the state of
a disc).
• Recording and playback operations by all buttons and
dials other than the STOP button are disabled during
cache recording.
• If the amount of cache data exceeds the capacity of the
unit’s internal memory during a disc exchange, an alarm
message appears and the data in cache memory is
overwritten. The internal memory always contains the
latest cache data, so the clip data will be continuous after
the next disc is inserted and recording to the disc
resumes.

Recording with the HDSDI remote
control function
Even during recording, it is possible to eject discs by
pressing the EJECT button on the front panel. After a disc
is exchanged, the unit resumes operation according to the
embedded REC or STOP command.
This section explains the settings required for recording in
HDSDI remote control mode, and how the unit operates in
this mode.
Note
This unit begins recording operation about one second
after the camcorder.
Note
The unit (camcorder) that controls this unit must also
support HDSDI remote output.
Recording with the Clip Continuous
Rec function
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.
Normally, a clip is generated as an independent file every
time recording starts and stops. The Clip Continuous Rec
function allows you to continue recording to the same clip
until the function is stopped or turned off, regardless of
how many times recording starts and stops. This is
convenient if you want to avoid generating a large number
of short clips, or if you want to record without worrying
about the limit on the number of clips (maximum 300). A
Rec Start essence mark is recorded whenever recording
starts, which makes it easy to find the recording start points
Note
The following limitations apply in HDSDI remote control
mode.
• Commands received via the REMOTE(9P) connector
are ignored.
• Recording and playback operations on the front panel
are disabled, except for the EJECT button.
Note
A new clip may be created the next time you start
recording if it is impossible to continue recording to the
same clip because of signal noise or some other reason.
Monitor display in HDSDI remote control mode
“RM-SDI” appears in the remote interface display area
(see page 26) of the monitor. 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.
To enable the function
Set setup menu item 150 REC MODE to “clip continuous
rec”.
For details about operation, see “Basic menu operations”
Recording operation
When a recordable disc 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 disc is
reached.
To record
Send a “REC” command from a controlling device
connected to either of the following connectors.
• REMOTE(9P) connector
• SD/HDSDI INPUT connector (Put the unit into HDSDI
remote control mode.)
When HDSDI signals are interrupted during
recording
To stop 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.
Send a “REC PAUSE” command.
To stop the function
Do one of the following to stop the Clip Continuous Rec
function. (A new clip will be generated the next time you
start recording.)
• Perform a clip operation (lock, delete, or rename a clip)
• Make a network or FAM connection
• Eject the disc

This message means that recording on that disc did not
end normally. The “XXXX” in the message is a code for
XDCAM devices that can salvage the disc. Refer to the
following table and use one of the indicated devices to
salvage the disc.
Handling of discs when recording
does not end normally (salvage
functions)
Recording processing does not end normally if, for
example, the POWER switch on the rear panel is turned off
during recording, or if the power cord is disconnected
during recording. 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
discs. There is a quick salvage function which executes
automatically and a full salvage function which you can
execute as required.

• Even when these functions are used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.
Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
Quick salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
backup data stored in nonvolatile memory and
markers recorded on the disc. Processing time is about
5 seconds.
Quick salvage executes automatically if the unit is
powered on with a disc still loaded after recording
was interrupted by power off.
Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
(More data may be lost when the unit is subject to
vibrations, and when you switch frequently between
recording and paused.)
• You are prompted to execute a full salvage every time
you insert a disc that has not been salvaged, or power the
unit on with such as disc loaded.
• No recording is possible on discs 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 quick format, but this
erases all of the original recorded content.
Full salvage: Clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory
cannot be used, so processing takes longer than for a
quick salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends
on the state of the disc).
You are prompted to execute a full salvage whenever
you insert a disc that was removed manually from a
powered off device after interruption of recording by
power off.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/
standby button on the front panel is set to standby during
recording, because the unit does not enter standby mode
until after the end of recording processing.
To restore clips with a full salvage

Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
Notes
• Even after recording finishes, do not set the POWER
switch on the rear panel to off until the ACCESS
indicator has gone out.
• These functions salvage as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
The message “Salvage ?” appears on the display.

cannot be read by the versions 1.2 or earlier of the PDW-
HD1500/700. To play such discs on the PDW-HD1500/
700, upgrade the software to version 1.5 or higher.
• Even after linear editing, the underlying VANC data is
not rewritten. (VANC data cannot be edited.) However,
essence mark data is rewritten (can be edited).
• Linear editing is not possible when the unit is in one of
the following modes. To perform linear editing, exit the
mode.
- Single clip playback mode
- Clip Continuous Rec mode

Sub clips (clips in clip lists)
Clips (or parts of clips) that have been added to a clip list
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.
Scene Selection (Clip List
Editing)
The following figure illustrates the relation between clips
and sub clips.
What is scene selection?
Clips on disc
Scene selection is a function which allows you to select
material (clips) from the material recorded on a disc and
perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this
unit only.
Clip 1
Clip 3
(C0003)
Clip 4
(C0004)
Clip 2 (C0002)
(C0001)
• Scene selection is a convenient way to perform cut
editing in the field and in other offline situations.
• In scene selection you create a clip list (editing data).
Since the material itself is not affected, you can repeat
this any number of times.
Clip list (E0001)
Sub clip 1
Sub clip 2
Sub clip 3
• You can play back the edit list created by scene selection
on this unit.
• In scene selection you can add whole clips or add parts
of a clip. You can add scenes using chapters, change the
playback sequence, and amend or delete In and Out
points. All of these operations can be carried out easily
on this unit.
• Clip lists (editing data) created with the scene selection
function can be used on XPRI and other full-feature
nonlinear editing systems.
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 clip list E0001
is played back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the
part of clip 3 shown in gray color is played.
Clip list editing (current clip list)
To edit a clip list, you need to load the clip list from the
disc into the unit’s internal memory.
The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory
is called the “current clip list”.
The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation
and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip
list.
Clips
Material recorded 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.
After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to
disc.

Clip lists have numbers beginning with E, for example
E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on a disc.

Notes
• In 59.94i, 50i, 29.97P or 25P mode, selecting the line also selects the
corresponding line in the second field (for example, if line 9 is selected, line 527
is also selected for VANC packet reception).
• Menu item M3B0 enables recording of one VANC packet when the selected line
contains any packets whose DID/SDID matches the value set with this menu
item.
• Up to four packets are recorded per each line regardless of the DID and SDID
for the VANC set with menu item M3B1 or M3B2.Menu items M3B1 and MSB2
enable recording of up to four VANC packets in the selected line, respectively,
regardless of the DID/SDID value.
• It is not possible to set the same line with menu items M3B0, M3B1, and M3B2.
If the same line is specified, priority is given in the order of M3B0, M3B1, and
M3B2 (for example, if the same line is specified with M3B0 and M3B1, the
setting with M3B1 is ignored).
• When VANC data is output to HDSDI playback signals, the number of the
output VANC line is the same as that of the input VANC line.
• When a UMID or essence mark line is selected with M3B1 or M3B2, UMID or
essence mark output takes priority. To disable UMID or essence mark output,
set setup menu item 651 or 657 to “off”.

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 “1000Mbps”. For it to work, all other devices that handle
packets on the network must also support jumbo frames.)

Chapter
2) When no UTF-8 format name string is specified, the ASCII format name
string is registered as the actual clip name.
Overview
By loading a file from one of the following locations into
the unit’s memory before starting to record, you can
register the names in the file as clip names.
There are two ways to load files.
• Automatically load a file that has been written to the
following directory on a Professional Disc via an FTP or
FAM connection.
Planning metadata is a file that contains metadata about the
clips to be shot and recorded.
To use planning metadata, you will need to save a file in
advance in one of the locations shown below, and insert
the media into this unit. (Up to 99 planning metadata files
can be saved on one Professional Disc or USB Flash
drive.)
• Use a GUI screen to load a file that has been written to
the following directories on a Professional Disc or a

Clip name string format
In a text editor, modify the two fields in the <Title> tag that
contain the clip name strings (the shaded fields in the
example below).
Enter a name in the first field in ASCII format (up to 13
characters), and enter another name in the second field in
UTF-8 format (up to 52 characters).
The following two types of clip name strings can be
written in a planning metadata file.

You can use planning metadata to specify user-defined
names for the Shot Mark0 to Shot Mark 9 essence marks
that correspond to the 0 to 9 keys on a USB keyboard.
When planning metadata that contains user-defined

carriage return locations, and inserting no unspecified
spaces.
• If the UTF-8 format string is longer than 52 characters,
the ASCII format string is used as the clip name string.

Using UMID Data
Metadata is additional information recorded on discs 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 i-
dentifier for audio-visual material defined by the
SMPTE-330M-2003 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-330M.

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.

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
Functions of UMID data
UMID data enables the following:
• Addition of a globally unique ID to every clip of audio-
visual material. The unique ID is used to detect the
material source and to link it with the original source
material.
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”
• Distinguishing between original material and copied
material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original
material.
171
Using UMID Data

• 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.
About the UMID ownership information
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
Setting UMID ownership information
Proceed as follows.
1
Set setup menu item 029 STORE OWNER to “on”
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.

• 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 “~”.
See the next item “About the UMID ownership

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).

Glossary
Reference video signal
AES/EBU
A video signal that contains a sync
signal or sync and burst signals, used
as a reference for synchronization of
video equipment.
A standard established jointly by the
AES (Audio Engineering Society)
and EBU (European Broadcasting
Union) for serial transmission of
digital audio. Two channels of audio
can be transmitted via a single
connector.
HD tri-level sync
An HDTV analog reference signal
that applies to 59.94/50Hz systems.
A sync signal defined in SMPTE-
274M with positive, negative, and
zero values.
SDSDI signal
SD Serial Digital Interface. An
interface standardized as SMPTE-
259M which enables the
transmission of an uncompressed
digital component stream.
HDSDI signal
Abbreviation of HD Serial Digital
Interface.
A signal in the HDTV serial interface
defined by SMPTE-292M.
Clip
A recording unit. Clips are created
every time recording starts and stops.
S/N
Clip list
Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of
the strength of the desired signal to
the accompanying electronic
interference, the noise. If S/N is high,
sounds are reproduced with less noise
and pictures are reproduced clearly
without snow.
A list of locations in the material
recorded on the disc, arranged in any
order. Clip lists can be created with
the scene selection function of this
unit, and with the PDZ-1 Proxy
Browsing Software.
Metadata
Information about the properties of
video and audio content. XDCAM
records metadata such as UMIDs and
essence marks, and the PDZ-1 Proxy
Browsing Software can be used to
record information such as titles and
comments.
Composite video signal
A video signal in which luminance
and chrominance are combined along
with timing reference “sync”
information to make composite
video.
Sub clip
One of the sections which make up a
clip list. A sub clip may be part of a
clip or an entire clip.
MXF
Material eXchange Format. A file
exchange format developed by the
Pro-MPEG Forum. Equipment from
different manufacturers can
exchange files in this format.
Thumbnail image
A reduced still picture of video for
display on a GUI screen. XDCAM
creates thumbnail images from proxy
video, and displays them as index
pictures on GUI screens.
Drop-frame mode
SMPTE timecode runs at 30 frames/
second, while the NTSC color
television system runs at about 29.97
frames/second. Drop-frame mode
adjusts the running of timecode to
eliminate the discrepancy between
timecode value and actual time by
dropping two frames from the
timecode value at the beginning of
each minute except every tenth
minute.
Non-audio
General term for audio signals other
1)
than linear PCM, such as Dolby E
and Dolby Digital (AC-3).
1)
Timecode
A digitally encoded signal which is
recorded with video data to identify
each frame of the video by hour,
minute, second and frame number.
SMPTE timecode is applied to NTSC
system, and EBU timecode to PAL
and SECAM systems.
XDCAM can record non-audio as an
input signal.
1) Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories.
Non-drop-frame mode
A mode of advancing timecode
which ignores the difference in frame
values between real time and the
timecode. Using this mode produces
a difference of approximately 86
seconds per day between real time
and timecode, which causes
problems when editing programs in
units of seconds using the number of
frames as a reference.
E-E mode
UMID
Electric-to-Electric mode. When you
operate a VDR in E-E mode, input
video and/or audio signals pass
through electric circuits only and
then come out from the output
connectors, without passing through
electromagnetic conversion circuits
such as recording heads.
Unique Material Identifier. A
standard (SMPTE-330M) for video
and audio metadata. The Basic
section of a UMID contains a
globally unique number and a
material number for the identification
of recorded material. An optional
section called the “Source Pack”
contains information such as the time
and location of recording. A UMID
with the Basic section only is called a
Basic UMID. A UMID with the
Proxy AV data
Low-resolution data with a video
bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio
bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel.
This unit records proxy AV data
Essence mark
A type of metadata that may be set for
a specified frame.

Source Pack is called an Extended
UMID.
User bits
A total of 32 bits are provided in the
timecode which the user can use to
record such information as date, reel
number, or scene number on video
tape or disc. Also called user’s bits.
VBID (Video Blanking ID)
This is a video ID signal, defined in
the EIAJ CPR-1204 standard, which
is inserted into VBS video output to
enable the aspect ratio to be detected.
The ID signal is inserted into line 20,
VBI 283.
