Glossary AES/EBU A standard established jointly by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union) for serial transmission of digital audio. Two channels of audio can be transmitted via a single connector. CIFS Abbreviation of Common Internet File System. An open protocol for common file service provided by Microsoft Corporation. Clip A recording unit. Clips are created every time recording starts and stops. Composite video signal A video signal in which luminance and chrominance are combined along with timing reference "sync" information to make composite video. Drop-frame mode SMPTE timecode runs at 30 frames/ second, while the NTSC color television system runs at about 29.97 frames/second. Drop-frame mode adjusts the running of timecode to eliminate the discrepancy between timecode value and actual time by dropping two frames from the timecode value at the beginning of each minute except every tenth minute. DVB-ASI Abbreviation of Digital Video Broadcasting-Asynchronous Serial Interface. An asynchronous signal system for transmitting MPEG2-TS (Transport Stream) signals via a standard video interface adopted in the DVB Project (a digital video broadcasting standardization project in Europe). EDL Edit Decision List. A list of locations in the material recorded on a media, arranged in any order. E-E mode Electric-to-Electric mode. When you operate a VDR in E-E mode, input video and/or audio signals pass through electric circuits only and then come out from the output connectors, without passing through electromagnetic conversion circuits such as recording heads. Essence mark A type of metadata that may be set for a specified frame. Finalize A processing to finalize information management structure for write-once type media such as the PFD128QLW. When a disc is finalized, additional writing to that disc becomes impossible but the mount time for that disc is shortened. HD tri-level sync An HDTV analog reference signal that applies to 59.94/50Hz systems. A sync signal defined in SMPTE274M with positive, negative, and zero values. HD-SDI signal Abbreviation of HD Serial Digital Interface. A signal in the HDTV serial interface defined by SMPTE-292M. Metadata Information about the properties of video and audio content. XDS devices record metadata such as UMIDs and essence marks, and Content Browser can be used to record information such as titles and comments. MXF Material eXchange Format. A file exchange format developed by the Pro-MPEG Forum. Equipment from different manufacturers can exchange files in this format. Non-audio General term for audio signals other than linear PCM, such as Dolby E 1) and Dolby Digital (AC-3).1) XDS devices can record non-audio as an input signal. 1) Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Non-drop-frame mode A mode of advancing timecode which ignores the difference in frame values between real time and the timecode. Using this mode produces a difference of approximately 86 seconds per day between real time and timecode, which causes problems when editing programs in units of seconds using the number of frames as a reference. Proxy AV data Low-resolution data with a video bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel. This unit records proxy AV data automatically whenever highresolution MPEG HD data is recorded. Reference video signal A video signal that contains a sync signal or sync and burst signals, used as a reference for synchronization of video equipment. SD-SDI signal SD Serial Digital Interface. An interface standardized as SMPTE259M which enables the transmission of an uncompressed digital component stream. S/N Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of the strength of the desired signal to the accompanying electronic interference, the noise. If S/N is high, sounds are reproduced with less noise and pictures are reproduced clearly without snow. Sub clip One of the sections which make up an EDL. A sub clip may be part of a clip or an entire clip. Thumbnail image A reduced still picture of video for display on a clip list screen.

Union) for serial transmission of
digital audio. Two channels of audio
can be transmitted via a single
connector.
CIFS
Abbreviation of Common Internet
File System.
An open protocol for common file
service provided by Microsoft
Corporation.
Clip
A recording unit. Clips are created
every time recording starts and stops.
Composite video signal
A video signal in which luminance
and chrominance are combined along
with timing reference “sync”
information to make composite
video.
Drop-frame mode
SMPTE timecode runs at 30 frames/
second, while the NTSC color
television system runs at about 29.97
frames/second. Drop-frame mode
adjusts the running of timecode to
eliminate the discrepancy between
timecode value and actual time by
dropping two frames from the
timecode value at the beginning of
each minute except every tenth
minute.
DVB-ASI
Abbreviation of Digital Video
Broadcasting-Asynchronous Serial
Interface.
An asynchronous signal system for
transmitting MPEG2-TS (Transport
Stream) signals via a standard video
interface adopted in the DVB Project
(a digital video broadcasting
standardization project in Europe).
EDL
Edit Decision List.
A list of locations in the material
recorded on a media, arranged in any
order.
E-E mode
Electric-to-Electric mode. When you
operate a VDR in E-E mode, input
video and/or audio signals pass
through electric circuits only and
then come out from the output
connectors, without passing through
electromagnetic conversion circuits
such as recording heads.
Essence mark
A type of metadata that may be set for
a specified frame.
Finalize
A processing to finalize information
management structure for write-once
type media such as the
PFD128QLW. When a disc is
finalized, additional writing to that
disc becomes impossible but the
mount time for that disc is shortened.
HD tri-level sync
An HDTV analog reference signal
that applies to 59.94/50Hz systems.
A sync signal defined in SMPTE-
274M with positive, negative, and
zero values.
HD-SDI signal
Abbreviation of HD Serial Digital
Interface.
A signal in the HDTV serial interface
defined by SMPTE-292M.
Metadata
Information about the properties of
video and audio content. XDS
devices record metadata such as
UMIDs and essence marks, and
Content Browser can be used to
record information such as titles and
comments.
MXF
Material eXchange Format. A file
exchange format developed by the
Pro-MPEG Forum. Equipment from
different manufacturers can
exchange files in this format.
Non-audio
General term for audio signals other
than linear PCM, such as Dolby E
1)
and Dolby Digital (AC-3).
1)
XDS
devices can record non-audio as an
input signal.
1) Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories.
Non-drop-frame mode
A mode of advancing timecode
which ignores the difference in frame
values between real time and the
timecode. Using this mode produces
a difference of approximately 86
seconds per day between real time
and timecode, which causes
problems when editing programs in
units of seconds using the number of
frames as a reference.
Proxy AV data
Low-resolution data with a video
bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio
bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel.
This unit records proxy AV data
automatically whenever high-
resolution MPEG HD data is
recorded.
Reference video signal
A video signal that contains a sync
signal or sync and burst signals, used
as a reference for synchronization of
video equipment.
SD-SDI signal
SD Serial Digital Interface. An
interface standardized as SMPTE-
259M which enables the
transmission of an uncompressed
digital component stream.
S/N
Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of
the strength of the desired signal to
the accompanying electronic
interference, the noise. If S/N is high,
sounds are reproduced with less noise
and pictures are reproduced clearly
without snow.
Sub clip
One of the sections which make up an
EDL. A sub clip may be part of a clip
or an entire clip.
Thumbnail image
A reduced still picture of video for
display on a clip list screen.
Timecode
A digitally encoded signal which is
recorded with video data to identify
each frame of the video by hour,
