Chapter 1 Overview The system frequencies supported by this unit are divided into frame frequency groups, as shown in the following table. Frame frequency group System frequency 59.94 Hz 59.94P 59.94i 29.97P 50 Hz 50P 50i 25P 23.98 Hz 23.98P Note Continuous playback may not be possible at the transition point between two clips with different recording formats. Simultaneous recording to internal storage and removable disk The unit supports simultaneous recording to internal storage and Professional Discs or SxS memory cards (see page 53). Linear editing function1) The unit can function as a recorder to support insert editing and assembly editing of recorded clips. 1) Installation of the optional XDBK-105 is required. SD upconvert function The unit is provided with an upconvert function. You can input SD signals to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector and record them as HD signals. HD downconvert function The unit is provided with a downconvert function. HD clip playback signals can be downconverted to SD signals and then output as SD-SDI or composite signals. This allows you to use this unit for editing and program output in an SD environment. 1080/720 cross-conversion This unit supports cross-conversion output. It can output 720 while playing media recorded as 1080, and output 1080 while playing media recorded as 720. Recording of proxy AV data Proxy AV data is a low-resolution (1.5 Mbps video, 64 kbps per audio channel), MPEG-4 based version of a full resolution data stream. Whenever this unit records video signals input to the HD/SD-SDI INPUT connector, transfers files to internal storage via a network, copies files from internal storage to an SxS memory card, etc. it simultaneously generates and records low-resolution proxy AV data (see page 108). High-speed searches with the shuttle/jog dial The shuttle/jog dial can be used to find scenes inside clips on the internal storage/Professional Discs, in the same way as the shuttle and jog dials on conventional VTRs. In variable-speed mode, you can search in field units at from -2 to +2 times normal speed. Shuttle mode supports high-speed searches up to a maximum of ±20 times normal speed. Convenient playback and searching Like previous products in the XDCAM series, this unit supports convenient search functions, including thumbnail searches. Networking File transfer functions This unit is equipped with a Gigabit Ethernet connector, allowing you to perform high-speed file transfers of the video, audio, and metadata on internal storage using FTP and other standard protocols. Network control You can control this unit via a network by using the network remote connection. The unit supports traditional remote control via remote control connectors such as the RS422 and GPIO connectors. In addition, the high-speed network interface to external devices enables control by various other applications, for acquisition of file lists and display of thumbnails. Usability enhancements and rich selection of interfaces Color LCD display The unit is equipped with a 16:9, 4.3-inch color LCD which allows you to check the contents of the media and use the menu system without connecting an external monitor. Tiltable front panel The front panel is tiltable for easy rack-mount and desktop operation. You can adjust the panel to the angle that makes the buttons easiest to use.
