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)

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  
following figure.

5-1 Overview  
This unit can record shot marks or use shot marks  
recorded in MPEG IMX or Betacam SX format.  
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.  
Writing on this unit  
Shot mark type  
Writing on a camcorder,  
etc.  
Modifying and  
erasing on this unit  
Recording start mark Automatically written at the  
start of recording.  
Possible (erasure  
only)  
Shot mark 1 and  
shot mark 2  
Written by a manual shot  
mark operation during  
recording or editing.  
Post mark  
Not written  
(Written only on this unit)  
Written by a button operation during playback,  
while stopped, or during a search.  
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.

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-10appears 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.  
ALARM indicator  
If moisture condensation occurs, ERR-10”  
appears in time data display area 1.

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.
