resolution data stream. Whenever this unit records full-
resolution MPEG HD data, it simultaneously generates
and records low-resolution proxy AV data. Because of its
small size, proxy AV data can be transferred quickly over
computer networks, easily edited in the field with laptop
computers,
1)
and readily used in a wide variety of
applications, such as content management on small-scale
servers.
1) The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to create
simple EDLs (Edit Decision Lists).
Supports a variety of interfaces
This unit supports the following interfaces.
HDSDI: This enables input and output of HD digital video
and embedded audio signals (4 channels).
SDSDI: This enables output of SD component digital
video and embedded audio signals (4 channels).
AES/EBU: This enables input and output of AES/EBU
serial digital audio signals (4 channels).
i.LINK (AV/C): This enables output of DV-format digital
video and audio signals (4 channels).
Analog video: This enables output of HD analog
component (RGB or YPbPr) and SD composite
signals.
Analog audio: This enables input of 2 channels and output
of 2 channels (1/2 or 3/4) of analog audio.
Convenient disc-based playback and
search functions
Thumbnail searches
An independent clip file is generated whenever recording
starts and stops. The first frame of each clip is used as the
thumbnail for that clip.
You can display a list of thumbnails on the color LCD or
an external monitor, and cue up a desired scene by
selecting the corresponding thumbnail.
Essence mark searches
You can record essence marks at any scene during video
recording, or at the recording stop position. You can
display a list of essence mark scenes on the color LCD or
an external monitor. Essence marks can also be added after
recording with the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing
Software.
Thumbnail expansion
After selecting a clip in the thumbnail list, you can divide
the clip into 12 parts and show a list of thumbnails for the
first frame in each part. This makes it easy to find the scene
you want within the clip. This expansion can be repeated
up to 3 times (1728 divisions).
Scene selection
You can create and play back clip lists of selected clips
from the disc, arranged in any order. One disc can store up
to 99 clip lists. Clip lists make it simple to perform offline
editing in the field for later use with full-scale nonlinear
editing systems.
Repeat playback
You can repeatedly play back any clip or clip list. Unlike
tape, discs can return to the first frame as soon as the last
frame is played, making this function ideal for
presentations with a need for looping content.
IT friendly
Computer access to files (file access mode)
Video and audio clip data are recorded as files. The FAM
function enables quick random access by computers to the
video, audio, and metadata
1)
files stored on Professional
Discs, with the ability to display thumbnail lists on the
computer screen and perform file-based reads and writes.
1) XDCAM allows you to record various kinds of information about the
video and audio data, such as the date of shooting, the editor, the recording
format, and comments. This data can be used in the following ways.
• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can add titles,
comments, and other text data to discs and clips.
• 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).
