HDCAM-SR Off-speed Playback Capability

Playback of Tapes Recorded by SRW-1

The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 VTR is capable of playing back

tapes recorded by the SRW-1 recorder in the following unique

modes:

• 3D Stereoscopic (Dual Stream) mode: The SRW-5800/5100 can

play back material shot by the SRW-1 in Dual Stream mode.

The SRW-5500/5000 can play back either channel A or channel

B of the Dual Stream 4:2:2 recording. Users can select the

stream to be played back via the menu.

• 1080/4:2:2/60p mode: The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 can play

back a 1080/60p tape in 24p, 25p, and 30p mode, producing

the desired slow-motion effect in playback at normal speeds. It

is also possible to play 60p recordings in normal speed by

playing back every other frame, so only 30 frames in total are

played back.

The SRW-5800/5100 can also play back in

1080/60p mode, offering smooth pictures for playing back fast-

moving scenes.

• Select FPS mode: The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 can play

back a tape recorded with the Select FPS function at 24p, 25p,

and 30p mode, both in 4:2:2 and 4:4:4, producing the desired

slow- and fast-motion effect in playback at normal speeds.

Storage of Setup/System Menus in

VTR Memory Banks

The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 VTR allows operators to effectively

manage its menus using VTR memory banks.

Up to eight groups

of parameters in the System Menu and Setup Menu can be

individually saved in the VTR’s internal memory as a bank

memory.

The setup parameters can also be saved onto Memory

Stick™ media, enabling these groups of parameters to be

copied onto other SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 VTRs for quick and

consistent setup of multiple VTRs*

1

.

The operator can select a

suitable name for each bank memory.

*1: This capability is not fully supported when exchanging data between

different models.

Ethernet-based Bank Memory Selection

An Ethernet interface is provided on the SRW-5800/5500/5000/

5100 VTR, enabling operators to remotely set up VTRs using a

standard web browser on a PC.

The VTR automatically generates

SRW.html files that indicate the bank settings currently saved on

the VTR. By accessing the VTR via an Ethernet interface, operators

can see the parameters in each of the listed bank memories,

and select a bank they want to use.

Audio Output Channel Selection

The SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 is equipped with a unique

internal audio-output router, which enables flexible audio-output

channel routing without the use of an external audio-routing

device.

Any channel from the 12*

1

available on HDCAM-SR tape

can be assigned to the embedded HD-SDI (Ch 1-12) and SDI

(Ch 1-8) audio-output channels. This feature provides the

flexibility needed when recording audio to different tape formats.

*1: Four channels on HDCAM/Digital BETACAM tape.

Dual-sync Operation

A unique feature of the SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 allows users

to seamlessly integrate the VTR into a 59.94 editing environment.

In doing so, users can directly perform insert editing – from a

23.98PsF master tape to either a 1080/59.94i or a 525/59.94i

recording – without having to first dub the master to 59.94 format.

This is achieved by supplying dual reference signals, one to lock

the servo of the SRW-5800/5500/5000/5100 to a 23.98-Hz signal

and one to lock the playout circuitry to a 59.94-Hz reference

signal.

Off-speed Playback Capability

In order to play back material at different speeds for applications

such as slow-motion or fast-motion, the SRW-5800/5500/5000/

5100 is equipped with a built-in off-speed playback capability.
