Chapter 1 Overview Overview Features The PDW-70MD is a professional disc recorder supporting HD playback and recording with Professional Disc 1) media. When you use this unit in combination with a nonlinear editing system, the FAM 2) function enables data file transfers between the unit and computers over the i.LINK interface, allowing the unit to be used like an external hard drive.
1) The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to create simple EDLs (Edit Decision Lists). 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.

Using UMID Data Metadata is additional information recorded on discs along with audio-visual data. It is used to bring greater efficiency to the flow of operations from material acquisition through editing, and to make it easier to find and reuse material. As one of application of metadata, the UMID has been internationally standardized. What is a UMID? A UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE 330M2003 standard.
• Distinguishing between original material and copied material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original material. • Recording with UTC time. UTC (coordinated universal time) is used when recording the UMID. Use of a universal time system enables uniform management of source material recorded all over the world. • Calculation of date differences. Source material is recorded using modified Julian dates (MJD), which enables easy calculation of date differences between different source material items.
