1-1 Features The HDW-F500 is a HD digital videocassette recorder using the HDCAM1) format. Comparable to a conventional digital Betacam in size, weight, and easeof-use, the HDW-F500 is a small, lightweight HD digital VTR using integrated circuit technology. HDCAM Format The HDCAM format was developed from the digital Betacam format, and retains the same ease of use of digital Betacam, while yielding high performance HD digital recording and playback.
1-1 Features Advanced Recording and Playback Functions Chapter 1 Overview High-quality digital recording The HDCAM system uses a component system to record video signals. An AES/EBU format with a wide dynamic range is used for 4-channel audio recording. A unique and powerful error correction circuit and concealment circuit are used in digital signal processing. Accurate, stable video signal output is made possible by setting and adjusting an internal digital video processor.
Easy-to-maintain plug-in boards The VTR uses plug-in circuit boards to simplify servicing and inspection. Mountable in standard 19-inch rack The unit can be mounted in an EIA-standard 19-inch rack. For rack mounting, refer to the Maintenance Manual.
1-1 Features Chapter 1 Overview Title function This function allows you to add titles when storing data to the VTR memory bank or memory card, thus facilitating data retrieval and management. Write protect function Setting pages stored in VTR memory banks or memory cards can be write protected on an individual basis.
1-2 Optional Accessories The following accessories can be used with the HDWF500. HKDV-501A HD-SD Converter Board Allows you to output an NTSC/PAL component or composite signal. A(f1) A(f2) B(f1) This function is operative only when the frame frequency of the VTR is set to 29.97Hz or 30Hz. • Allows you to smooth the picture motion and improve the vertical resolution during slow-motion playback. Note that this function does not work when this VTR is operated in PsF mode.

6-2 Advanced Automatic Editing 6-2-3 Performing Preread Editing Video and digital audio signals already recorded on the tape can be used as an edit source for insert editing. This type of editing is called preread editing, as the VTR uses preread heads to read signals in advance. Signals that are read in advance can be sent to mixers for mixing, then recorded to the original channels or other digital audio channels.
6-3 Manual Editing Follow the procedure below to perform manual editing. 7 Press the STOP button to stop the tape.

Glossary AES/EBU format A standard format for the transfer of digital audio signals. In this format, two audio signals can be input/output through one XLR-type connector. Assemble editing An edit mode for adding new scenes to the end of previously recorded scenes. New video signals are recorded for each control signal, but continuity with the control signal preceding the edit point is maintained electrically.
Glossary Non-drop frame mode In this mode, drop frame mode processing is not performed. Since there is no frame cutting, a discrepancy of about 86 seconds occurs each day (in the case of a field frequency of 59.94 Hz) which causes problems when editing programs in units of seconds using the number of frames as a refernce. See also Drop frame mode.
