1-1 Features  
The HDW-2000/M2000/M2000P is a high-definition  
(HD) digital videocassette recorder based on the  
HDCAM format.  
High-precision digital signal processing  
and range of interfaces  
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.  
In addition to HDCAM format recording and  
playback, the HDW-M2000/M2000P can also play  
back tapes recorded in the digital Betacam, MPEG  
IMX, Betacam SX, and analog Betacam formats.  
The digital signal processing uses HD 4:2:2  
component video signals complying with SMPTE  
292M, which are converted into parallel data and then  
compressed into HDCAM format.  
The audio signals are based on AES/EBU format, and  
are subjected to digital signal processing without being  
compressed.  
The unit is equipped with a high definition to standard  
definition (HD to SD) downward converter, and has  
the following interfaces as standard equipment, for  
ease of connection to different external devices.  
• SD analog composite signal output  
• SD analog component signal output  
• Analog audio signal input/output (4 channels)  
• HDSDI SMPTE 292M input/output (HD digital  
video/audio, 4 channels)  
• SDI SMPTE 259M output (component digital video/  
audio, 4 channels)  
• AES/EBU serial digital audio input/output (4  
channels)  
HDCAM format  
The HDCAM format uses the same 12.65-mm width  
tape as the conventional Betacam series. It provides  
high definition images, offering up to two hours of  
recording. For video signal compression, prefiltration  
and coefficient recording technologies are used.  
CUE track

• CUE audio input/output  
High quality four-channel audio  
High quality 20 bit/48 kHz AES/EBU digital audio is  
supported. There are four digital audio input/output  
channels, and four analog audio input/output channels.  
Control (CTL) track  
Time code track  
a) Supplemental Automatic Tracking signal  
Recording and playback of SDTI  
compressed data (optional)  
High-performance heads and compatibility  
functions  
This unit can be fitted with SDTI input/output  
complying with SMPTE 305M, and can therefore be  
used for transferring HDCAM data, audio data,  
metadata, and so on to a VTR or nonlinear device via  
an SDTI interface.  
The newly developed high-performance heads and  
dynamic tracking (DT) technology provide high-  
density recording and playback in narrow tracks with  
high reliability. In addition to HDCAM recording and  
playback heads, the unit is equipped with Betacam SX  
playback heads and analog Betacam DT heads, for  
compatibility with existing recording formats. The  
VTR automatically detects the recording format of  
tapes when they are loaded, so that no menu settings  
need to be made when changing formats.  
Multifunction control panel  
While built in a compact 4U size, this unit has a front  
panel which provides a wide range of functions while  
maintaining existing operability.

1-1 Features  
Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle  
dial  
DMC editing  
This allows automatic editing with a varying playback  
speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.  
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.  
Split editing  
In insert editing, this allows editing with the audio IN  
and OUT points to be displaced from the video edit  
points.  
Time data display  
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.  
Preread editing  
This allows you to play back prerecorded video and  
audio material, edit it by applying effects with an  
external device, and then rerecord in real time on the  
same tape.  
Menu-based control interface  
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.  
Cross-fade editing  
In audio editing, to avoid unnatural effects at edit  
points, you can fade the audio track. You can select  
cut-in, fade-in, fade-out, or cross-fade.  
Downward converter function  
High quality variable speed playback and  
digital jog sound function  
The unit has an HD-to-SD downward converter  
function, and can output standard definition SDI,  
analog component and analog composite signals even  
while playing back an HDCAM format tape.  
In HDCAM format playback, the dedicated playback  
DT heads allow smooth, noiseless playback. During  
Betacam SX playback, noiseless playback is achieved  
through unique multihead playback technology.  
In slow motion operation, the digital jog sound  
function provides the same ease of operation as for a  
conventional analog VTR.  
Upward converter function (HDW-M2000/  
M2000P only)  
The HDW-M2000/M2000P features a standard  
definition to high definition (SD-to-HD) upward  
converter as standard equipment. This allows high-  
quality HD signals to be output even when playing  
back tapes recorded in formats other than HDCAM.  
Wide range of editing functions  
By combining two units, 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.  
Tele-File functions  
Tele-File enables data writing/reading between  
cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases  
the efficiency of operations such as recording,  
playback and editing, 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.  
Rack mounting  
Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor,  
you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.  
For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation  
Manual.

For each channel, press to protrude the REC control in  
the upper control panel, and adjust so that the audio  
level indication is 0 dB for an average volume. Carry  
out the adjustment in E-E mode.  
Using the emphasis-deemphasis processing enables the  
dynamic range to be improved by reducing high-  
frequency noise.

TCG (F1): SDI  
To synchronize the internal time code  
generator to an external signal  
PR/RGN (F2): LTC  
Use this method to synchronize the time code  
generators of a number of VTRs, or to record the  
playback time code signal from an external VTR  
without deterioration of the signal waveform.  
In this case the RUN and DF settings are ignored.  
You can synchronize the internal time code generator  
to either of the following external time codes.  
• The time code output (LTC) of an external time code  
generator or external VTR connected to the TIME  
CODE IN connector of the unit  
• To synchronize to VITC data contained in the  
HDSDI signal input to this unit:  
TCG (F1): SDI  
PR/RGN (F2): VITC  
This starts the internal time code generator running  
in synchronization with the external time code  
generator.  
Once the internal time code generator is  
synchronized with the external time code  
generator, even if the external time code generator  
connection is removed, the internal time code  
generator continues to run.  
• The time code (LTC and VITC) present in the  
HDSDI signal input to the unit  
To synchronize the internal time code generator to an  
external signal, use the following procedure.  
Setting PR/RGN (F2) to PRESET when TCG (F1)  
is set to EXT or SDI has the effect as setting PR/

Overview  
DMC playback allows you to vary the playback speed  
for a certain section of a tape, in variable speed mode  
(from –1 to +2 times normal speed) 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  
while recording, and then provide immediate DMC  
playback of those highlights.  
During DMC playback the tape moves as shown in the  
following figure.

addresses, the time code must be recorded on the tape  
in correct time sequence (i.e. the sections must be in  
strictly ascending time order).  
If the time code values are all in correct time sequence,  
then if there are any discontinuities in the time code,  
the unit allows them to be interpolated using the CTL  
counter.  
Recording time code  
For automatic editing, regardless of the TCG (F1) and  
PR/RGN (F2) settings, time code is recorded  
continuously from the previous time code recorded on  
the tape.  
Using setup menu item 610, it is also possible to record time  
code according to the settings in the function menu.

6 At the editing end point (the recorder OUT point),  
press the PLAY button.  
This refers to editing using as the player an external  
device which cannot be controlled remotely through  
the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector. For example, you  
can record a color bar signal from a signal generator in  
the joints between the scenes of an already completed  
tape.

The AUTO EDIT button flashes, and it is now possible  
to carry out automatic editing.  
If necessary, you can also first set the OUT point.  
Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the  
tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing.  
This type of editing is called “preread editing”, as this  
unit uses the preread heads to read the signals in  
advance from the tape.  
The signals read out can be send to a mixer for mixing,  
and can be recorded either on the original channels or  
on other digital audio channels.  
For preread editing, set the PREREAD to ON (see  
page 9-7).  
5-3-4 Manual Editing  
Use the following procedure to carry out manual  
editing.  
1 Press the RECORDER button, turning it on.

Notes  
• In preread editing, if an input video signal is used as  
the reference signal for the output video signal, this  
forms a feedback loop. To prevent the occurrence of  
feedback, set the F2 (OUTREF)(see page 9-7) in  
function menu page 4 to REF, and set item 309 in the  
extended setup menu to AUTO1 (see page 10-15) so  
as to use an external reference signal.  
• When the preread mode is selected, to prevent  
feedback due to the loop connection, whatever the  
editing mode of this unit, no E-E video output is  
available.  
When the PREREAD is set to OFF after preread  
editing, however, if the loop connection remains and  
an E-E signal is output, feedback will occur.  
To prevent this, select PB mode for the video and  
digital audio channels in all the modes before the  
preread editing, as follows.  
1 Set F2 (PB/EE) in function menu HOME page to  
PB.  
2 Set the F6 (PREREAD)(see page 9-7) in function  
menu page 4 to ON.  
3 Make the necessary connections for the preread  
editing.  
4 After selecting the desired insert editing mode,  
carry out the preread editing.  
5 When the preread editing is completed, remove the  
connections.  
6 Set the PREREAD to OFF.  
7 Check that no loop connection remains.

setting for each recording mode (crash recording,

For each mode for which the setting is “ON”, the  
mark is written automatically at the start of  
recording.  
Shot mark 1 and  
shot mark 2  
Written by a manual shot  
mark operation during  
recording or editing.  
Written by a button operation during crash  
recording or assemble editing. A menu setting  
determines which of three types of mark is  
written: shot mark 1, shot mark 2, or post mark.  
Post mark  
Not written  
(Written only by this unit)  
Written by a button operation during playback,  
while stopped, during a search, or during  
recording (crash recording or assemble editing).  
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  
For recording start marks, a menu setting determines  
whether or not they are written each time recording  
starts. Shot mark 1, shot mark 2, and post mark types  
can be written at any point on a tape, and also erased  
or rewritten.  
Sorting shot marks by cassette  
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.  
Shot mark list operations  
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.

reading and writing shot marks. Note that the  
following operations cannot be carried out by remote  
control.  
Reading shot marks from more than one  
cassette  
After changing the cassettes, carry out the reading  
operation again.  
Data written in the new cassette will be added as long  
as the total does not exceed 200 shot marks. For  
example, if 190 shot marks have already read in, only  
10 shot marks will be read from the new tape.  
In the shot mark list (see page 6-5) the data from  
different cassettes is separated by a row of dashes.

7-1 Overview of Tele-File Functions  
Tele-File is a non-contact data carrier system.  
Data management in clip units  
Tele-File enables data writing/reading between  
cassettes with memory labels and VTRs. It increases  
the efficiency of operations such as recording,  
playback and editing, and source data management.  
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  
An optional handy reader/writer (supporting Memory  
Stick) is available to facilitate data library  
management.  
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 (user area, rewritable)  
• Data transfer speed: 100 kbps  
• Security functions: Reading and writing authorization  
can be controlled through multiple passwords and  
permission settings.

8-1 Overview of UMID Functions  
The 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.  
The 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.  
A UMID with a Basic section only is called a Basic  
UMID. A UMID with both Basic and Source Pack  
sections is called an Extended UMID. The following  
figure shows a general overview of the information  
contained in a UMID.  
UMID  
Basic  
Instance Number  
Copy or original  
Material Number  
Which device recorded the original  
Source Pack  
Date/Time  
When was it recorded  
Spatial Co-ordinates  
Where was it recorded  
Stored Ownership  
Who recorded it  
Note  
UMID functions are available on units with serial  
number 36001 or higher.

To set Stored Ownership  
If you wish to set Stored Ownership (data in the  
Source Pack which indicates “who”) when generating  
a UMID, call up item 029 STORED OWNERSHIP in  
the setup menu and proceed as follows.  
Selecting whether to inherit or generate  
the UMID  
When recording a UMID, you can select whether to  
inherit (copy) the UMID contained in input signals, or  
generate a new UMID. Make this selection by using  
setup menu item 656 MATERIAL NO.  
See Section 10-2 “Setup Menu Operations” (page 10-2) for  
more information about basic setup menu operations.

method when inheriting UMIDs  
ITEM-029  
If you choose to inherit the 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 which 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 pseudo-random number. Select the method  
used to generate the Instance Number by using setup  
menu item 654 UMID GENERATE METHOD.

11-1 Removing a Cassette When Tape Slack  
Occurs  
For details, refer to Section 1-17 in the Installation Manual.  
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.  
11-2 Head Cleaning  
To clean the video heads and audio heads, always use  
the special-purpose Sony BCT-HD12CL cleaning  
cassette.  
Note  
You cannot use the BCT-5CLN cleaning cassette.  
If you insert the cleaning cassette, it is automatically  
ejected after a head cleaning operation which lasts for  
10 seconds.  
Follow the instructions with the cleaning cassette  
carefully, as inappropriate use of the cleaning cassette  
can damage the heads.

11-3  
11-4 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 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 “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.  
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.

11-5-2 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.
