requires this unit’s IP address and other network-related

settings to be made.

5-4Using PDZ-1 Proxy

Browsing Software

For details of the network-related settings, see “To

change network settings” (page 115).

When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing

Software installed is connected to this unit, you can

transfer the proxy AV data and metadata files recorded on

a disc to the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1

enables you to browse the proxy AV data, add or modify

metadata (titles, comments, essence marks, etc.), or create

a clip list.

The modified metadata and the created clip list can then be

written back to the disc loaded in this unit.

Live logging function

If you set extended menu item 258 “LIVE LOGGING” to

“on,” you can use PDZ-1 to do the following during

recording of high-resolution data: view proxy AV data,

perform cut editing of the data, and enter metadata.

Enabling display of the extended menu

Note

Do not use a pencil for this operation, as graphite

deposits can cause short circuits and lead to failure.

To enable display of the extended menu, an internal switch

must be set to on, and extended menu display must be

enabled in the maintenance menu. (The internal switch is

set to on when the unit is shipped from the factory. Unless

you have set it to off, there is no need to change the switch

setting.)

7-3-3 Using UMID Data

To perform operations from interviewing to editing

effectively and to detect audio-visual materials easily

when reusing them, metadata that provides additional

information is recorded along with audio-visual data. As

one of application of metadata, the UMID (Unique

Material Identifier) is internationally standardized.

Hold down the COUNTER SEL button, and press the

SET button.

The screen switches to the maintenance menu.

Use the F/f buttons to select “SETUP

MAINTENANCE.”

What is a UMID?

The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique

identifier for audio-visual material defined by the

SMPTE330M-2003 standard.

The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte Basic UMID

or as the Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32

bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes.

For details, refer to SMPTE 330M.

Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in clip units.

The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional

information such as location, time/date, company and so

on.

The UMID is applied as follows.

Material No.

ID generated when

recording

Source Pack

Shooting information (when,

where and who)

Instance No.

Same as the above

Original material: 00 00 00

Copied material: generation number

Distinguishing between the

original material and copied

material

Material source ID/detecting

material

Metadata pack that identifies

the source of material unit by

defining the when, where

and who of the material unit

with which it is associated.

Using the Extended UMID

• Recording based on the UTC. The UTC is used when

recording the UMID. This enables uniform control of

source material recorded all over the world based on the

universal time code.

• Calculating the date difference among source materials.

The source material is recorded based on the MJD

(Modified Julian Date), which enables easy calculation

of date difference among source materials.

You have to enter a country code, organization code and

user code. Set the country code referring to the ISO-3166

table, and set the organization code and user code

independently.

For details, see “About UMID ownership information”

(page 111).

Functions of UMID data

Setting UMID ownership information

Proceed as follows.

The UMID data enables the followings:

• Add a globally unique ID to every clip of audio-visual

material. The unique ID is used to detect the material

source and to link it with the original source material.

• Distinguishing between original material and copied

material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original

material.

Set extended menu item 029 “STORED

OWNERSHIP” to “on.”

See 7-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” (page 94) for
