1-1 Features
The MSW-M2100/M2100P is a digital videocassette
player based on the MPEG IMX format.
High-performance heads and compatibility
playback function
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.
It not only offers playback in MPEG IMX format, but
can also play back tapes recorded in Betacam SX
format, analog Betacam format, or digital Betacam
format.
The newly developed high-performance heads and
dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide high-
density playback in narrow tracks with high reliability.
In addition to the MPEG IMX playback heads, this
unit is also equipped with Betacam SX format
playback heads, and analog Betacam DT heads, to
provide compatibility playback functions, and
allowing a wide variety of recorded resources to be
used effectively.
MPEG IMX format
High-precision digital signal processing
and range of interfaces
The MPEG IMX format uses the same 12.65-mm
width tape as the conventional Betacam series. This
economical format uses 50 Mbps high image quality
MPEG-2 compression, and offers up to three hours of
recording.
The video signal compression, as in the Betacam SX
format, uses MPEG-2, and compressed data can be
passed directly without loss of quality, not only to
VTRs, but also to other devices with MPEG support,
such as nonlinear editors or servers. There is thus high
compatibility with the next generation of digital
television formats supporting MPEG-2.
The MPEG IMX VTR digital video signal processing
uses 4:2:2 component video signals complying with
ITU-R Rec 601/SMPTE 259M, which are compressed
with ISO/IEC 13818-2000 MPEG-2 compression.
While supporting a wide range of signals for output,
all of the VTR internal processing is digital, providing
high stability and reliability.
The audio signals, similarly, are based on AES/EBU
format, and are subjected to digital signal processing
while still uncompressed.
The audio tracks allow up to eight channels to be
recorded, and this also provides future extensibility for
multichannel, multilingual broadcasting, data
broadcasting, and so on.
The following interfaces are standard equipment, for
ease of connection to different external devices.
• Analog composite signal input/output
• Analog component signal output
Direction of tape travel
• Analog audio signal output (4 channels)
• Serial Digital Interface SMPTE 259M output
(component digital video/audio, 8 channels)
• AES/EBU serial digital audio output (8 channels)
• SDTI-CP SMPTE 326M output (MPEG video/audio
data)

1-1 Features
High image quality MPEG-2 intraframe
encoding at 50 Mbps.
Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle
dial
The video signal compression uses MPEG-2
intraframe encoding conforming to 4:2:2 Profile @
Main Level, with a 1:3.3 compression ratio; the data is
then recorded with a bit rate of 50 Mbps. With the
highly efficient MPEG-2 compression, the image
quality is high enough to withstand a range of editing
and dubbing operations.
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
The recorded MPEG-2 data can be passed directly to
other nonlinear systems, allowing optimum editing
with no loss of image quality.
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.
High quality eight-channel audio
Menu-based control interface
High quality 16 bit/48 kHz digital audio is supported.
There are eight digital audio output channels, and four
analog audio output channels.
To support even higher quality playback, there is a
four-channel mode using 24 bit/48 kHz encoding.
Thus this unit is eminently suitable not only for
multichannel applications, but also for high quality
audio editing.
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.
Playback of SDTI compressed data
Eight-channel audio level meters
This unit is fitted with SDTI-CP output complying
with SMPTE 326M, and can therefore be used for
transferring MPEG-2 data, audio data, metadata, and
so on to a VTR or nonlinear device.
The unit has independent audio level meters and
playback level controls for all eight channels. The
level meters are on the control panel, so that when the
panel is used remotely from the main unit it is still
easy to check or adjust the audio levels.
Newly developed multifunction control
panel
While a compact 4U size, this unit has a front panel
which provides a wide range of functions while
maintaining existing operability.

High quality variable speed playback and
digital jog sound function
Rack mounting
Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor,
you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
In digital BETACAM or MPEG IMX format playback,
the dedicated playback DT heads allow smooth,
noiseless playback from –1 to +3 times normal speed.
In analog Betacam compatible playback also, similar
dedicated DT heads allow noiseless playback from –1
to +3 times normal speed, and in Betacam SX format
compatible playback, special multi-head playback
technology allows noiseless playback from –1 to +2
times normal speed.
For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation
Manual.
In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound
function provides the same ease of operation as a
conventional analog VTR.
Wide range of editing functions
Using this unit in combination with a recorder, 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 playback
This allows automatic playback with a varying speed
memorized beforehand for the desired segment.
Tele-File functions
Tele-File enables data writing/reading between
cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases
the efficiency of operations such as cuing up and
playback, 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.

4-3 Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback
This section describes dynamic motion control (DMC)
playback.
4-3-1 Overview
DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed
for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode
(from –1 to +3 times normal speed for digital Betacam
playback, from –1 to +3 times normal speed for MPEG
IMX playback, from –1 to +2 times normal speed for
Betacam SX playback, or from –1 to +3 times normal
speed for analog Betacam playback), 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
and then provide immediate DMC playback of those
highlights.
During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the

Possible
First, the shot mark functions of this unit are described
in simple terms.
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).
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.
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.
Writing and erasing shot marks
On this unit, whereas you can erase any types of shot
marks, it is not possible to write any shot marks other
than post marks.
Sorting shot marks by cassette
Shot mark list operations
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.
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.

6-1 Overview of Tele-File Functions
Tele-File is a non-contact data carrier system.
Data management in clip units
Tele-File increases the efficiency of data management
and operations such as playback and editing by
enabling information to be exchanged between VTRs
with data reading and writing functions and cassettes
with Tele-File labels.
In Tele-File, data is managed in units called “clips.” A
clip consists of the following data items, whose
settings can be displayed and changed.
• Cue point
• Write protect
• Mark
• Recording start point
• IN point
• OUT point
• Take number
• Cut number
• Scene number
• Comment
Memory label
Data library management with handy
reader/writer
Newly developed IC
The Tele-File system employs a newly developed
memory IC with the following features.
• Thin design: With a thickness of 0.5 mm, the IC can
be attached to cassettes as a memory label.
• Memory capacity: 1 KB/8 KB (user area,
rewritable)
An optional handy reader/writer (supporting Memory
Stick) is available to facilitate data library
management.
• Data transfer speed: 100 kbps
• Security functions: Reading and writing
authorization can be controlled through multiple
passwords and permission settings.

9-4 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 this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and
the cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the durm
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 moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit
is in use, the ALARM indicator lights and “ERR-10”
is displayed in the time data display area 1.
Z
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.

9-5-2 Maintenance Timings
Use the following table as a timing guide for checking
and replacing components of the unit.
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.
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.
For information on severe conditions (frequent threading/
unthreading) or how to replace components, refer to the
Maintenance Manual Volume 1.
