time of 19 hours and 20 minutes (30 Mbps/16-bit audio).

Recording bit rates of 30, 40, or 50 Mbps can be selected.

Input/output can be configured as 2 input/2 output, 1 input/

3 output, or 3 input/1 input. The signal type is SDI (4:2:2)

for video input/output. SDI (4:2:2) and AES/EBU are

available for audio input/output.

Regardless of the motion mode, installing optional boards

(BKMA-513, BKMA-570) allows the use of analog input

and output.

In SS mode, the internal hard disk drive (henceforth,

HDD) provides a maximum recording time of 6 hours and

20 minutes (30 Mbps/16-bit audio). Recording bit rates of

30, 40, or 50 Mbps can be selected. Input/output can be

An optional dedicated control panel (BKMA-505) is

available for real-time control of recording and playback,

Linear editing functions

Rack mounting

The MAV-555SS is equipped with the “BVE mode”, an

operation mode that provides the unit with linear editing

capabilities. If the operation mode is switched to BVE

mode, the MAV-555SS recording and playback ports are

integrated, and the recorder can then be used as a

recording/playback VTR. This mode allows the MAV-

555SS to be connected to editing machines such as the

BVE-600 or the BVE-2000 as a “recorder/player”. Note

that in other modes the MAV-555SS playback port can still

be connected to editing machines such as the BVE-600 or

the BVE-2000 as a “player”.

The unit can be mounted in an EIA standard 19-inch rack

(optional rack mount kit RMM-555 required).

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

■ SD mode only

Multi-access, Multi-operation

(Simultaneous recording/playback

operations possible while recording)

One of the advantages of a hard disk recorder (such as the

MAV-555SS) over a conventional VTR is the ability to

simultaneously access, edit, and output material (stored as

files) that is being recorded. The MAV-555SS has four

input and output ports standard. Each port can record or

playback one video channel and four audio channels. 2

input/2 output, 3 input/1 output, and 1 input/3 output

input/output port configurations can be selected on the

Setup menu. An external editor or control panel can be

used to perform multiple editing/output operations

simultaneously.

The following functions are supported when using the

BVE mode.

• Independent audio channel editing of up to 4 channels.

• Operation of the optional MAVE-F555 editing panel and

the MAVE-D555 dial panel.

• Control by LTC from a BVE editor.

• Auto Assembly editing from a BVE editor.

Ability to record asynchronous signals

By setting the standard signals of each recording port as

input signals, input signals that are asynchronous with the

reference signals can be recorded.

Flexible I/O Configuration Possible

Various I/O and control panel options are set according to

the external equipment that is connected and the operating

environment. The standard input and output

configurations of the unit and when various optional

boards are installed are shown below.

• In the BVE mode, the Record port (R1) and the Play port (P1) are combined,

so the unit can serve as the VTR of a re-recorder (a combination recording and

playback port is called an RP port). This means that recording at the R2 port

while editing is possible.

• To begin editing, execute the Linear Edit New Material command from the

optional BKMA-505 Control Panel to create a BLACK/MUTING file. This file

is assigned to the RP port. The length of the initial file must be specified by

LINEAR EDIT NEW FILE (menu 321) beforehand.

• When performing four-channel editing with a two-channel audio editor, select

ANALOG AUDIO EDIT PRESET REPLACE (menu 307) on the expansion

menu.

• For two-channel audio editing, use the BKMA-570 Analog Audio Expansion

Unit. If not enough analog audio connectors are available for wiring of the

system, channel 1 and 2 audio can be output from the channel 3 and 4 terminals

by setting 821 AUDIO OUTPUT CHANNEL on setup menu 821.

• In BVE mode, only 2 input/2 output and 1 input/3 output configurations can be

used.

Please refer to Section 3-3, “External Synchronization of Output Video Signals” (page 3-17)

and Section 3-4, “Setup” (page 3-18).

• Collection is performed from the controller connected to the R2 port, the

optional control panel (BKMA-505), the editing panel (MAVE-F555), etc.

• File assignments made to the RP port or the P2/P3 port are made from the

optional control panel (BKMA-505), the editing panel (MAVE-F555), etc.

• When configured with an editor that uses analog composite signals, the

optional BKMA-513 AD/DA Converter Board is necessary. When configured

with an analog audio mixer (such as MXP-29), the optional BKMA-570

Analog Audio Expansion Unit is also required.

Modes of operating the MENU control

It is possible to select either of two modes in which the

MENU control operates when selecting items or changing

settings: either the value changes only when you turn the

control, or the value continues changing even when you

stop turning.

Normally, the state is such that when you use the MENU

control to select items or change settings, the value

changes only when you turn the MENU control (the value

stops changing when you stop turning).

Setting

Turn the MENU control to select the item you want to

change.

Turning the MENU control clockwise increases the

item number, and turning it counterclockwise

decreases the item number.

Press the MENU control once.

This allows the setting to be changed, and the setting

value flashes.

However, if you press the SETUP/BLACK button, turning

on the PRESET indicator above and to the left of the

MENU control, the menu item or setting continues

changing even when you stop turning.

To stop the change when the PRESET indicator is lit, do

any of the following:

operation is performed directly on the file “Program.2”,

the system will attempt to create “Program.3”. However,

since “Program.3” already exists, the system will start a

new branch of numbers as follows:

First time Load Copy is executed: Program.2A.1

Second time Load Copy is executed: Program.2A.2

The last digit at the end of the file name indicates the

number of times Load Copy was executed, while the

portion of the name preceding the last “dot” indicates the

original file name. If multiple branches of duplicates are

made from the original file, a letter is inserted before the

last “dot” in the file name.

more characters, the name “%LongName” will be used. In

addition, if all branches have been used (i.e., Load Copy

has been used to generate file names from “ProgramA.1”

to “ProgramZ.1”) the name “%MaxBranch” will be used.

Because these alternate names do not bear any relation to

the name of the original file, rename such duplicates with

a shorter file name as soon as possible.

[Edit Entry Full]

The internal area where cut information is stored limits

the number of files that can be stored. The [Cut Entry

Full] error appears when this limit has been reached, and

indicates that no more files can be created for editing.

Because an internal temporary file is created when

editing through the RP port, editing is no longer possible

once this error has been generated.

5-5-7 Pre-roll Time

When using this unit as the player during DMC editing,

the setting should be at least five seconds.

Also, with DMC editing, the insertion point may be

displaced by one frame.

Remedy:

• When the above error is generated, follow the

instructions that are provided in the dialog box that

appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the

internal cut information area, making further file

creation and editing possible.

• This error can be avoided by performing certain

operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer

to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the

5-5-8 File Backup Function

If the power to the MAV-555SS is accidentally cut while

you are editing a file, the "Backupxxxxx" file (where

xxxxx is the date, for example: 05.20-14:00) is

automatically created. Therefore, if this happens and the

edited file is deleted, you can continue editing using the

backup file. However, if the edited file is unloaded before

the power is cut, backup is not possible. Further, because

the cut point information is not saved along with the

backup file, you cannot perform cut jumps or trim cuts in

this file.

[Rec Inhibit]

This error is generated if an attempt was made to record

or edit while the recording port or RP port was in the

“Rec Inhibit” state, or an attempt was made to record or

edit a file with file protection on.

You can unload files from the MAVE-D555 and BKMA-

505.

For details about unloading files, refer to the MAVE-D555 and

BKMA-505 operation manuals.

Remedy:

Cancel “Rec Inhibit” or file protection in order to record

or edit.

additional minutes cannot be allocated because the disk

is full. Once this error is generated, recording/editing

stops after two minutes.

is stored internally. Although this information cannot be

used in linear editing, it can be used as cut information

for nonlinear editing when the MAVE-F555 is

connected.

There is a limit on the number of cuts per file. The [Cut

Entry Full] error appears when this limit has been

reached, and indicates that the file in question cannot be

edited any further.

Remedy:

• Recording/editing can continue further even after this

error is generated if you delete any unnecessary files

within two minutes of the moment when this error was

generated.

• When the above error is generated, follow the

instructions that are provided in the dialog box that

appears on the control panel. Doing so will clear the

cut information for that file, making further editing on

the file possible.

• This error can be avoided by performing certain

operations through the MAVE-F555. For details, refer

to the “Error Message List” in the appendix in the

MAVE-F555 operation manual.

[Rec Stopped]

This error is generated if nothing is done during the two

minutes after [Nearly Rec Stop] is generated. The disk

is now full, and further recording/editing is not currently

possible.

Remedy:

Delete any unnecessary files.

The next recording operation in the R port will begin

from the start of a new file.

The next manual recording operation in the RP port will

begin from the point where recording was halted.

Editing in the RP port stops automatically, and a new

editing command must be issued.

[Not Enough Space To Rec]

Because the disk is full, there is not enough space to

automatically allocate a four-minute area. Recording/

editing is not possible.

Remedy:

Create free space by deleting any unnecessary files.

Once free space has been created, the four-minute area

will be allocated automatically and the error will be

cancelled.

[Too Much Fragmentation]

Too many fragmented files have been recorded on the

HDD and the limit of processing has been exceeded.

Remedy

From the playback port play back the files that you have

been editing, then by recording the files as new files on

the recording port you can continue editing.

[Temp. File Protected]

The temporary file that you are using in the BVE mode

has been protected in another mode.

Remedy

In any mode other than BVE mode, check the names of

the files. If any file is prefixed with a percent symbol

(%), set Protect Off.
