Recording video and audio  
data as files  
You can record video and audio data in  
MPEG IMX format or DVCAM format as  
files, through the S400 (i.LINK)  
connector.  
1-1 Features  
The PDW-D1 is a compact and lightweight  
disc drive which, connected to a nonlinear  
editor, allows recording/playback of video/  
audio data. Connected to a computer, it can  
also be used to write and read video/audio  
data files and general-purpose data files.  
In conjunction with a laptop computer it is  
ideal for field use, or for building a budget  
video production system together with a  
nonlinear editor.  
Proxy AV data  
The proxy AV data is a low-resolution,  
MPEG-4 based version of the full-  
resolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream.  
When a full-resolution MPEG IMX/  
DVCAM file is transferred, a proxy AV  
stream file that is time code synchronized  
with the full-resolution stream, is also  
created automatically on the disc. This  
proxy AV data, which is smaller in size, is  
easier to work with and can be transferred at  
upto 30 times faster than real time.  
The features of the PDW-D1 include the  
following.  
DVCAM format recording/  
playback  
By accessing this unit from a computer with  
the AV/C (Audio/Video Control) protocol,  
you can record or play back a DVCAM  
IT-friendly system through  
i.LINK interface  
1)  
format data stream.  
In the Professional Disc, clips are recorded  
as video and audio data files. This file-  
based recording system also allows material  
to be viewed directly on a computer linked  
to the PDW-D1 via an i.LINK (file access  
mode, called FAM below) connection-in  
the same way that a computer reads data  
files on an external drive. The interfaces  
include the S400 (i.LINK) connector,  
supporting AV/C (Audio/Video Control)  
and i.LINK (FAM) protocols.  
1) DVCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.  
DVCAM output from MPEG  
IMX recorded disc  
By playing back a disc recorded in MPEG  
1)  
IMX format from a computer with the  
AV/C protocol, a signal converted to the  
DVCAM format can be output.

make settings or upgrade the unit by means  
of menu operations on the computer.  
Flexible metadata handing  
XDCAM can record various types of  
1)  
metadata together with video and audio  
data, such as the date and time of shooting,  
the cameraman, the recording method, and  
comments about the material. This  
metadata can be used in applications such  
as the following.  
• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing  
Software can be used to add titles,  
comments, and other text data to discs  
and clips.  
• Computer-readable text files can be  
recorded on the Professional Disc, to  
allow systematic content management.  
• The ability to search metadata for the  
required audio and video scenes brings  
greater efficiency to various stages of the  
video production process (editing,  
archiving, etc.).  
1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.  
Compact size, lightweight  
and batterypowered  
operation  
The PDW-D1 is designed small and light  
enough to carry out to the field and it is  
operable with battery to work in the field.  
Vertical or horizontal  
orientation  
The unit is adaptable to different situations.  
It can be oriented vertically for use with a  
desktop computer, to occupy the minimum  
of space, and in the field can be used  
horizontally, for stability.

Unloading a Disc  
3-5-6 To Eject Discs With  
the Unit Powered Off  
When the ~/1 (on/standby) indicator is lit  
green, you can load and unload a disc as  
shown in the following figure.  
When battery power is low and at other  
times, it may not be possible to eject discs  
by pressing the EJECT button. In these  
situations, you can use the following as an  
emergency procedure to eject a disc  
manually.

surface on the right,  
insert the disc.  
The disc is drawn in.  
To unload  
Press the  
EJECT button.  
When a disc is loaded, the DISC IN  
indicator (see page 27) lights. It flashes  
while the disc is being inserted, and while  
it is being ejected.

Carefully check the positions of the  
screws, then turn the screws  
counterclockwise, using a Phillips  
screwdriver, until the disc is ejected.  
3-5-5 Formatting a Disc  
An unused disc requires no formatting  
operation. The disc is automatically  
formatted when loaded into this unit.  
To format a disc that has already been  
recorded, for example, use the disc  
operation menu of the utility software.  
For details, see page 55.  
After removing the disc, you do not  
need to return the screw to its original  
position. Normal operation will

again.  
- Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of  
data before the interruption of  
recording.

Replace the rubber cap, and close the  
cover.  
Quick salvage  
When the unit is powered on again after a  
recording interruption due to power off,  
with the disc still loaded in the unit, clips  
are automatically reconstructed on the basis  
of backup data stored in nonvolatile  
3-5-7 Handling of Discs  
When Recording Does Not  
End Normally (Salvage  
Function)  
memory and markers recorded on the disc.  
Processing time is about 5 seconds.  
Recording processing does not end  
normally if, for example, the unit is  
powered off during recording, or if battery  
pack power is exhausted during recording.  
Because the file system is not updated,  
video and audio data recorded in real time is  
not recognized as files and clip contents  
recorded up to that point are lost.  
However, this unit has a salvage function  
which can hold losses to the minimum by  
reconstructing clips on such discs.  
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost  
when the ~/1 (on/standby) switch on the  
front panel is set to standby, because the  
unit does not enter standby mode until after  
the end of recording processing.  
Full salvage  
When a disc that was manually ejected from  
a device subjected to a recording  
interruption due to power off is loaded into  
this unit, clips are automatically  
reconstructed on the basis of markers  
recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory  
cannot be used, so processing takes longer  
than for a quick salvage (about 30 seconds,  
although it depends on the state of the disc).  
3-5-8 Condensation  
When this unit is moved from a cold place  
to a warmer place, or operated in high  
humidity, condensation may form on the  
optical pickup. If the unit is operated in this  
state, it may make correct recording and  
playback impossible.  
Note the following points, to avoid  
problems with condensation.  
• If moving the unit in conditions where  
condensation is possible, make sure the  
disc is inserted in advance.  
Notes  
• Do not power the unit off or remove the  
battery pack until recording processing  
has finished and the ACCESS indicator  
has gone out.  
• This function salvages as much recorded  
material as possible after an unforeseen  
accident, but 100% restoration cannot be  
guaranteed.  
• When the ~/1 (on/standby) switch is in  
the ~ position, if the ERROR/ALARM  
indicator lights, and “HUMID!” appears  
in the utility software alarm log, do not  
insert a disc until the indicator has gone  
off.  
• Even when this function is used, it is not  
possible to recover data from  
immediately before the interruption of  
recording. The amount of data lost is as  
follows.  
- Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of  
data before the interruption of  
recording.
