Overview
1-1 Features
The HDW-S2000/S2000P is a high-definition (HD)
digital videocassette recorder based on the HDCAM
format.
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.
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, this unit can also play back tapes recorded in
the Betacam SX, and analog Betacam formats.

1-1 Features
High-performance heads and compatibility
functions
Recording and playback of SDTI
compressed data (optional)
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.
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.
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.
High-precision digital signal processing
and range of interfaces
Basic operation buttons and jog/shuttle
dial
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 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 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)
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.
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.
• SDTI SMPTE 305M input/output (HDCAM video/
audio data) (Option)
• Time code input/output
• 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.

High quality variable speed playback and
digital jog sound function
Downward converter 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
The unit 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.
DMC editing
This allows automatic editing with a varying playback
speed memorized beforehand for an edit segment.
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.
Split editing
In insert editing, this allows editing with the audio IN
and OUT points to be displaced from the video edit
points.
Additionally, a parallel (50-pin) interface is also fitted
as standard, supporting easy external control through
the parallel interface.
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.
Rack mounting
Using the optional RMM-131 Rack Mount Adaptor,
you can mount the unit in a standard EIA 19-inch rack.
Cross-fade editing
For details of rack mounting, refer to the Installation
Manual.
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.

Adjusting the audio recording levels
To use the emphasis function
When carrying out audio recording at a
reference level
Leave the REC controls pressed in. The audio signals
will be recorded at a preset reference level (a reference
–20 dB indication for an input of +4 dBm).
To add emphasis to the analog input audio signal or
analog playback audio signal, set the EMPHSS to ON
(see page 9-6).
When the signal to which emphasis has been applied is
played back, it is automatically subjected to
deemphasis processing.
Manually adjusting the recording levels
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.
4-1-2 Recording Time Code and
User Bit Values
For details of selecting the E-E mode, see the description of
the REC button in the tape transport control section (page
2-11) and the PB/EE setting in function menu HOME page
(page 9-3).
There are three ways of recording time code, as
follows:
• Setting an initial value, then recording the output of
the internal time code generator
• Recording the output of the internal time code
generator synchronized to an external time code
generator
To change the display range of the audio
level indications
Press the DISPLAY FULL/FINE button (see page
2-5).
To set an initial value then record the time
code
To monitor the simultaneous playback of
the recorded video and audio signals
If necessary, change the settings in function menu page
1 (see page 9-4).
Set the TCG (F1) to INT, and the PR/RGN (F2) to
PRESET.

• To synchronize to LTC data contained in the
HDSDI signal input to this unit:
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/

4-2-3 Dynamic Motion Control (DMC) Playback
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

Editing
5-1 Automatic Editing
Using CTL to interpolate time code values
When you are using time code values as edit point
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).
This section describes how to carry out automatic
editing with this unit and another VTR connected to
the REMOTE1-IN(9P) connector.
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.
5-1-1 Overview
Editing mode
Recording time code
With this unit, you can use the following two edit
modes for automatic editing.
• Assemble editing
This is the editing mode in which successive portions
of the edited result are recorded on the end of the
already completed section.
The CTL signal, video signal, audio signal, and time
code are all newly recorded on the tape.
• Insert editing
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.
In this mode, new material is recorded at an
intermediate point of an existing recording.
The CTL signal is not recorded. The video signal,
audio signal, and time code signal can all be
independently recorded.
You can carry out DMC editing in both editing modes.
In insert editing, split editing is also possible.

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 AUTO EDIT button flashes, and it is now possible
to carry out automatic editing.
If necessary, you can also first set the OUT point.
The signals read out can be send to a mixer for mixing,
and can be recorded either on the original channels or

5-3 Special Automatic Editing Methods
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.

Shot Mark Function
6-1 Overview
This unit can record shot marks or use shot marks
recorded on HDCAM tape. Shot marks are indications
at desired points on a tape which enable faster cuing.
Types of shot mark
This unit supports the following three types of shot
mark. This chapter describes recording start marks and
post marks, treating them as varieties of shot marks.

6-1 Overview
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.
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.
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.
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).
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.
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.

Tele-File
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.

UMID Functions
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.
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.
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

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 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.
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 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.

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.
