BP-GL65/GL95 and BP-L60(A)/L90(A)/L60S/L80S
(lithium-ion batteries) and BP-M50/M100 (nickel hydrate
batteries). The unit can operate for about 80 minutes with a
BP-GL95 battery pack mounted. To mount a battery pack,
attach an optional BKP-L551 Battery Adaptor.
1-1 Features
The HDW-S280 is a digital portable videocassette recorder
for the HDCAM format.
The unit has the features described below.
Built-in up-converter and down-converter
The HDW-S280 has a built-in up-converter to convert SD
format to the HD format and down-converter to convert
HD format to the SD format. When an SD-format tape is
played, the signal is converted to HD format and output.
When an HD-format tape is played, the signal is converted
to SD format and output.
Rich variety of input and output signals
The HD4:2:2 component video signal is input as an HD-
SDI signal based on the SMPTE292M standards and is
recorded in HDCAM format. The following input and
output signals are supported:
• HD-SDI (high-definition serial digital interface) video
and four-channel audio input and output
• SDI video and four-channel audio output
• SD composite output
If the system frequency is set to 24PsF or 23.98PsF, the
down-converted signal is not output.
Assemble editing
By connecting two HDW-S280 units, you can perform
assemble editing. For improved effect efficiency, various
functions such as setting and modifying edit points,
preview, and review, are available.
• Two-channel analog audio input and output
• Timecode input and output
• Reference-signal input and loop-through output
Compact size replaceable with a DNW-A28
The HDW-S280 HDCAM format portable video recorder
has the same size, weight, and power consumption as the
DNW-A28 Betacam SX format portable video recorder,
which enables you to replace a DNW-A28 with this unit.
The unit accepts an S cassette.
Both interlace and progressive recording/
playback
When using the HDCAM format, 59.94i, 50i , 29.97PsF,
25PsF, 24PsF, and 23.98PsF mode recording and playback
can be selected from a menu. When 59.94i or 29.97PsF is
selected, a Betacam SX cassette recorded in NTSC or
analog Betacam cassette can be played. When 50i or 25PsF
is selected, a Betacam SX cassette recorded in PAL or
analog Betacam cassette can be played. Characteristics of
a Betacam SP cassette recorded in PAL in 50i or 25PsF
mode are the same as those when a Betacam cassette is
played.
Playback compatibility with Betacam, Betacam
SP, Betacam SX
Besides recording and playback in HDCAM format, it can
play tapes recorded in Betacam, Betacam SP, or Betacam
SX formats, allowing you to make effective use of
Betacam, Betacam SP, and Betacam SX cassettes recorded
in the past.
Control Panel
The unit is equipped with an LCD monitor on the front
panel, which enables you to view materials on the unit
without using an external video monitor. The jog and
shuttle functions using the search dial allow searching for
a desired picture easily for effective cueing up and editing.
AC and DC power
The unit can be operated with a variety of power sources,
such as DC power using a battery pack or an AC adaptor
and an AC power source. Applicable battery packs are the

3-6-3 Synchronizing the Internal
Timecode Generator with a Playback
Timecode – Timecode Recording
during Auto Editing
Set the following on the function menu:
TCG on the P4 TC page: INT
PRST/RGN on the P4 TC page: LTC or VITC
In automatic editing, timecodes are recorded by using the
output of the internal timecode generator, which has been
synchronized during preroll with playback timecode read
from the tape. For this reason, regardless of the actual
settings of TCG and PRST/RGN on the P4 TC page, the
unit operates as if then were set to INT and LTC or VITC.
If you do not wish to have TCG and PRST/RGN settings
fixed during automatic editing, you can set then with setup
menu item 610.
If you set TCG on the P4 TC page to EXT or SDI and
PRST/RGN to PRESET, PRST/RGN is forced to function
as LTC.
3-6-4 Converting Timecode in 24- or
25-Frame Mode Playback (TC CONV)
When a tape recorded in 24-frame mode is played back in
25-frame mode (off-speed playback), the timecodes for 24-
frame mode can be converted to those for 25-frame mode.
It is also possible to have the timecodes recorded in 25-
frame mode converted to those for 24-frame mode during
playback. To have the timecodes converted, set setup item
menut 620 to ON.
Note
While the timecodes are being converted, the timecode
generator generates timecodes based on the frame
frequency recorded on the tape, which makes a difference
in the timecodes generated in FREE RUN of about 4%.

3-9-1 Notes on "Memory Stick"
3-9 Using a "Memory
Stick"
What is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds that of a floppy disk. “Memory
Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and sharing
digital data among “Memory Stick”-compatible products.
Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used
for external data storage.
When a “Memory Stick” is inserted in the camera, the file
data can be stored on the “Memory Stick,” which enables
you to share data among cameras.
Inserting a "Memory Stick"
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size and
compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to a
“Memory Stick Duo” adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” is to
the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can be
used with products compliant with standard “Memory
Stick.”
Insert a “Memory Stick” with the label side up into the
“Memory Stick” slot until it clicks.
Label side
Types of “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is available in the following six types to
meet various functional requirements.
"Memory Stick"
“Memory Stick”
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data that

To remove a "Memory Stick"
“Memory Stick (MagicGate/High-Speed Transfer
Compatible)”
Equipped with MagicGate copyright protection technology
and allows high-speed data transfer.
If you push the inserted “Memory Stick,” the “Memory
Stick” will pop out a little. Then pull the “Memory Stick”
out.
This type of “Memory Stick” can be used with “Memory
Stick”-compliant, “MagicGate Memory Stick”-compliant,
and “Memory Stick PRO”-compliant products.1)
The HDW-S280 is not compliant with high-speed data
transfer with this type of “Memory Stick.”
Precautions
• To prevent data loss, make backups of data frequently. In
no event will Sony be liable for any loss of data.
• Unauthorized recording may be contrary to the
provisions of copyright law. When you use a “Memory
Stick” that has been pre-recorded, be sure that the
material has been recorded in accordance with copyright
and other applicable laws.
1) Operation is not guaranteed for all of the compliant products (Some
products may not accept this type of “Memory Stick.”)
“MagicGate Memory Stick”
Equipped with MagicGate copyright protection
technology.
• The “Memory Stick” application software may be
modified or changed by Sony without prior notice.
“Memory Stick-ROM”
Stores prerecorded, read-only data. You cannot record on
“Memory Stick-ROM” or erase the prerecorded data.
“Memory Stick (with Memory Select Function)”
Composed of multiple 128 MB memory units.
The mechanical switch at the back of the “Memory Stick”
allows you to select the memory unit to be used depending
on usage.
The memory units cannot be used simultaneously and
continuously.
“Memory Stick PRO”
“Memory Stick” with MagicGate copyright protection
technology, exclusive for “Memory Stick PRO”-compliant
products.

You can use a “Memory Stick” with the HDW-S280 (8, 16,
32, 64 and 128 MB compatible).
– Extremely hot, such as in a car parked in the sun
– Under direct sunlight
– Very humid or subject to corrosive substances
Note
You can not use a “Memory Stick Duo” alone with the
HDW-S280. To use a “Memory Stick Duo” with this
camera, be sure to attach it to an optional Memory Stick
Duo Adaptor. If you insert a “Memory Stick Duo” without
the adaptor, it may become stuck in the slot and impossible
to remove.
Note on data read/write speed
Data read/write speed may vary depending on the
combination of the “Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick”
compliant product you use.
What is MagicGate?
MagicGate is copyright protection technology that uses
encryption technology.

5-1-1 Assemble Editing
Set edit points on the recorder VTR and player VTR.
In assemble editing, you record video and audio materials
in order from the start of the tape. In addition to video,
audio, CTL and timecodes are recorded. If a timecode is
already recorded on the tape, the new timecode is recorded
so as to form a continuous sequence with the existing
timecode. Assemble editing is convenient when you are
recording on a new tape.
r
Preview between the edit points.
r
Modify the edit points, if necessary.
r
Perform automatic editing.
Note
r
Review the result of editing, if necessary.
Before you begin assemble editing for the first time with a
new tape, a video signal such as black signal, CTL, and a
timecode must be recorded on the tape in advance of the
recorder IN point for a length equal to or greater than the
preroll time.
5-2-1 Setting the Edit Points
You can set the edit points on the recorder VTR and player
VTR on the P5 EDIT page of the function menu.

both the recorder and player. However, once any three of
these points are defined, the last point is set automatically.
For example, if you set the recorder IN and OUT points and
the player IN point, the player OUT point is set
automatically.
5-2-2 Modifying and Deleting Edit
Points
If the edit points are not set correctly, for example if an
OUT point is before a corresponding IN point, the
DELETE indicator in the menu display area flashes, and it
is not possible to perform a preview or editing operation. In
this case, either modify the erroneous edit point, or first
delete it and then enter it correctly.
Note
In the following cases, the DELETE indicator begins to
flash, and you cannot perform automatic editing.
• The OUT point is before the IN point.
• All four of the recorder IN and OUT points and the
player IN and OUT points have been set.
Use the DELETE function button to delete a redundant edit
point, or set the edit points correctly.

8-1 Overview of UMID
Functions
8-2 Recording UMIDs
UMIDs can be recorded when recording video signals with
this unit. You can select whether to inherit (copy) the
UMID contained in input signals automatically or forcibly
generate a new UMID.
UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a type of meta-data
in video and audio materials. It has been internationally
standardized in SMPTE Standard 330M. This unit
supports recording and generation of UMIDs.
UMID is made up of a section called the Basic section and
a section called the Source Pack section. The Basic section
contains information such as the device that recorded the
material and whether the material is the original or a copy.
The Source Pack section contains information about when/
where/who recorded the material.
Selecting the type of UMID to record
Select whether to record Basic UMID or Extended UMID,
using setup menu item 655.
For details on setup menu item 655, see page 73
UMID with a Basic section only is called a Basic UMID.
UMID with both Basic and Source Pack sections is called
Extended UMID. The figure below gives a general
overview of the information contained in a UMID.
Selecting whether to inherit or generate
UMID
When recording UMID, you can select whether to inherit
(copy) UMID contained in input signals, or generate new
UMID. Make this selection by using setup menu item 656.

(When was it recorded)
If you choose to inherit UMID contained in input signals,
almost all of the information in the UMID is copied
without change, but the Instance Number changes to a
value that indicates that “this UMID is a copy.” The new
value can be generated from a 16-bit pseudo-random
number with the addition of the number of copies (1 byte),
or it can be generated from a 24-bit pseudorandom
number. Select the method used to generate the Instance
Number by using setup menu item 654.

Slack Occurs
10-2 Head Cleaning
To clean the video heads and audio heads, always use the
special-purpose Sony BCT-HD12CL cleaning cassette.
If you insert the cleaning cassette, it is automatically
ejected after a head cleaning operation which lasts for 10
seconds.
If tape slack occurs in the unit, it is necessary to remove the
upper lid and sound baffle. This job should always be
entrusted to a technician who has undergone service
training.
Follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette
carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning cassette can
damage the heads.
For details, refer to the Installation Manual.
Note
You cannot use the BCT-5CLN cleaning cassette.

10-5 Moisture
Condensation
10-6 Regular Checks
10-6-1 Digital Hours Meter
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 moisture condenses on the head-drum while the unit is
in use, the ALARM indicator lights and ERR-10 is
displayed in time data display area 1.
If this happens, the drum and capstan motors stop and the
cassette is automatically ejected. Then, the drum 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.
The digital hours meter can display seven items of
information, in corresponding display modes, about the
operational history of the unit. Use it as a guide in
scheduling periodic maintenance.
Display modes of the hours meter
H01: OPERATION mode
Displays the total number of hours the unit has been
powered on in units of 1 hour.
H02: DRUM RUNNING mode
Displays the total number of hours the drum has run with
tape threaded in units of 1 hour.
H03: TAPE RUNNING mode
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.
Displays the total number of hours the unit has been in fast
forward, rewind, playback, search, recording or editing
(except for stop and still) mode in units of 1 hour.
H04: THREADING mode
Displays the total number of times tape has been threaded
in the unit.
H12: DRUM RUNNING mode (resettable)
Same as H02 except that the count is resettable.
This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace
the drum.
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.
H13: TAPE RUNNING mode (resettable)
Same as H03 except that the count is resettable.
This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace
such components as fixed heads and pinch rollers.
H14: THREADING mode (resettable)
Same as H04 except that the count is resettable.
This can be used as a guide in determining when to replace,
for example, the threading motor.

10-6-2 Maintenance Timings
Use the following table as a timing guide for checking and
replacing components of the unit.
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.
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.
