Setting the Line Mode
This unit is shipped with the line mode still

Once it is set, the line mode is retained even
when the unit is powered off.
You can change the setting made with this
procedure by using setup menu item “AV

Recording video and audio
data as files
You can record video and audio data in
MPEG IMX format or DVCAM format as
files, through the S400 (i.LINK)
connector.
1-1 Features
The PDW-D1 is a compact and lightweight
disc drive which, connected to a nonlinear
editor, allows recording/playback of video/
audio data. Connected to a computer, it can
also be used to write and read video/audio
data files and general-purpose data files.
In conjunction with a laptop computer it is
ideal for field use, or for building a budget
video production system together with a
nonlinear editor.
Proxy AV data
The proxy AV data is a low-resolution,
MPEG-4 based version of the full-
resolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream.
When a full-resolution MPEG IMX/
DVCAM file is transferred, a proxy AV
stream file that is time code synchronized
with the full-resolution stream, is also
created automatically on the disc. This
proxy AV data, which is smaller in size, is
easier to work with and can be transferred at
upto 30 times faster than real time.
The features of the PDW-D1 include the
following.
DVCAM format recording/
playback
By accessing this unit from a computer with
the AV/C (Audio/Video Control) protocol,
you can record or play back a DVCAM
IT-friendly system through
i.LINK interface

format data stream.
In the Professional Disc, clips are recorded
as video and audio data files. This file-
based recording system also allows material
to be viewed directly on a computer linked
to the PDW-D1 via an i.LINK (file access
mode, called FAM below) connection-in
the same way that a computer reads data
files on an external drive. The interfaces
include the S400 (i.LINK) connector,
supporting AV/C (Audio/Video Control)
and i.LINK (FAM) protocols.

make settings or upgrade the unit by means

Flexible metadata handing
XDCAM can record various types of
1)
metadata together with video and audio
data, such as the date and time of shooting,
the cameraman, the recording method, and
comments about the material. This
metadata can be used in applications such
as the following.
• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing
Software can be used to add titles,
comments, and other text data to discs
and clips.
• Computer-readable text files can be
recorded on the Professional Disc, to
allow systematic content management.
• The ability to search metadata for the
required audio and video scenes brings
greater efficiency to various stages of the
video production process (editing,
archiving, etc.).
1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.
Compact size, lightweight
and batterypowered
operation
The PDW-D1 is designed small and light
enough to carry out to the field and it is
operable with battery to work in the field.
Vertical or horizontal
orientation
The unit is adaptable to different situations.
It can be oriented vertically for use with a
desktop computer, to occupy the minimum
of space, and in the field can be used
horizontally, for stability.

data before the interruption of
recording.

Replace the rubber cap, and close the
cover.
Quick salvage
When the unit is powered on again after a
recording interruption due to power off,
with the disc still loaded in the unit, clips
are automatically reconstructed on the basis
of backup data stored in nonvolatile

Function)
memory and markers recorded on the disc.
Processing time is about 5 seconds.
Recording processing does not end
normally if, for example, the unit is
powered off during recording, or if battery
pack power is exhausted 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 a salvage function
which can hold losses to the minimum by
reconstructing clips on such discs.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost
when the ~/1 (on/standby) switch on the
front panel is set to standby, because the
unit does not enter standby mode until after
the end of recording processing.
Full salvage
When a disc that was manually ejected from
a device subjected to a recording
interruption due to power off is loaded into
this unit, clips are automatically
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).
3-5-8 Condensation
When this unit is moved from a cold place
to a warmer place, or operated in high
humidity, condensation may form on the
optical pickup. If the unit is operated in this
state, it may make correct recording and
playback impossible.
Note the following points, to avoid
problems with condensation.
• If moving the unit in conditions where
condensation is possible, make sure the
disc is inserted in advance.
Notes
• Do not power the unit off or remove the
battery pack until recording processing
has finished and the ACCESS indicator
has gone out.
• This function salvages as much recorded
material as possible after an unforeseen
accident, but 100% restoration cannot be
guaranteed.
• When the ~/1 (on/standby) switch is in
the ~ position, if the ERROR/ALARM
indicator lights, and “HUMID!” appears
in the utility software alarm log, do not
insert a disc until the indicator has gone
off.
• Even when this function is used, it is not
