Features
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. 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.)
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.
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.
IT friendly
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.
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.
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.
Equipped with network connector
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.
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.

You can record ID codes in user bits.
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
only) is set to the same mode as the external timecode
signal (drop-frame or non-drop-frame).
To record timecode that follows

timecode (Internal Regen)
You can record timecode so that it is continuous from one
clip to the next on the disc.
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 disc before starting to record, and
internally generates timecode that follows upon the
recorded timecode.
The frame count mode (for system frequency 59.94i only)
is set to the same mode as the last recorded timecode on the
disc (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

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.
To directly record timecode input to the TIME
CODE IN connector

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.

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

guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.
Yellow
condition
The playback condition has
deteriorated to some degree.
There are no read errors, but you
should take the action described

To prevent playback conditions from
deteriorating
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.

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.
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.
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: 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.

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.

Clips and clip lists are saved together on a disc.

Scene Selection (Clip List Editing)
To play a clip list, insert a disc into the unit, load the clip

You can add sub clips to clip lists from with the clip
thumbnail screen or the clip list thumbnail screen.
However, you must use the clip list thumbnail screen to

Assigning user-defined clip titles
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the
range C0001.MXF to C9999.MXF. For this reason, two
discs can contain clips with the same names. The
automatic title generation function allows you to assign
titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates
clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to
TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0017.MXF on disc 2.

Note
This value does not include the 4 bytes of the FCS (Frame Check Sequence).
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 “1000Mbps”. For it to work, all other devices that handle
packets on the network must also support jumbo frames.)

Using PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software
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.

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.

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.
127
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).
The STORED OWNERSHIP (UMID ownership
information setting) screen appears.
Example: Japan
For Japan, the country code is JP, which is 2 bytes, or JPN,
RETURN
which is 3 bytes.
Thus, enter the following:

ORGANIZATION: Sets the organization code.
USER: Sets the user code
Notes
• There are no problems in recording or playing back
audio-video signals, even if the ORGANIZATION is not
set.
See the next item “About the UMID ownership
information” for more information about these codes.
• 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 “~”.
