Overview
Overview
The HKSR-5804 is a network interface board that is
installed into the SRW-5800 HD Digital Videocassette
Recorder (VTR).
With the HKSR-5804 board installed, the VTR can be
directly connected to a network where image data can be
transferred as the DPX 1) files between the VTR and other
devices. The VTR, with its uncompressed recording
function, can also be used to back up and archive 2K/4K 2)
material.
1) A digital image file format that is generally used by image processing and
editing equipment. In addition to DPX, this board is compatible with the
CIN (Cineon) and TIFF file formats.
2) This board supports any size of data between HD and 4K (4096 × 3112).
The optional board configuration of the VTR (SRW-5800)
determines the file formats that are supported. The HKSR-
5804 is operable only with the file formats that the VTR
supports.
Features of the HKSR-5804
Direct connection of the VTR into a
network
Installing the HKSR-5804 in the VTR makes it possible to
instantly connect the VTR to a server or non-liner editor
within a Gigabit Ethernet (GbE) environment.
The file transfer can simply be controlled by using the
general web browser on the PC/workstation. It is easy to
make a correction to the material on the tape—retrieve the
relevant tape material over the network, manipulate it, and
then rewrite the corrected image back to tape.
File conversion on the VTR
The HKSR-5804 provides conversion between video and
file on the VTR, which allows direct file transfer to a
server or non-linear editor. Video signal (HDCAM-SR
format) on the VTR is converted into image files and can
be transferred over the network.
Then, image files transferred from the network to the VTR
are converted back into HDCAM-SR format video signal
and re-recorded to the tape.
The file format is DPX, which is widely used in digital
intermediate (DI) workflow.
2K/4K uncompressed data recording
2K/4K material (DPX files) can be transferred via Gigabit
Ethernet and recorded to tape as uncompressed data. The
material can also be viewed on an HD monitor.
Transferring the MXF files as the material
Pictures and the audio data on the tape can be transferred
as the MXF files.
With the HKSR-5804, MXF files can be transferred from
the HDCAM tape as well.
The HKSR-5804 can transfer the material as the MXF files
only when the signal format is 4:2:2 YCbCr.

About the VTR SETUP menu setting to prevent
import or export failure
During import or export, the SRW-5800 repeats “run and
stop” movement. If the SRW-5800 enters standby off
mode while stopped (in STILL status) during import or
export, the SRW-5800 may fail to servo-lock by the time
it reaches the next IN point. This will cause the import or
export operation to be canceled. To prevent this, it is
recommended that menu item “501: STILL TIMER” in the
VTR SETUP menu of the SRW-5800 be set to eight
minutes (the default setting) or longer.
If the same problem occurs due to extremely slow network
speed, etc., the menu item “501: STILL TIMER” setting
should be even longer to prevent the SRW-5800 from
entering tape protection mode while in stop (STILL)
status.

Proxies are stored in the
“proxy/” directory.
Resolution directory: When the
main picture files are stored
in directories labeled
according to size (e.g., 1920
× 1080), a directory for
storing small-size picture files
(e.g., 320 × 180) is created to
store proxies. When the main
picture files are not stored in
directories according to
picture file size, proxies are
stored in the same directory
where their main picture files
are stored.
When importing files, a
directory for storing main
picture files and a directory
for storing their proxies
labeled according to size
(e.g., 1920 × 1080, 320 ×

DEPTH
(for DPX, CIN, or
TIFF files)
Specifies the bit depth of the main
picture files to be imported.
8: 8 bits
10(DPX/CIN Only)*: 10 bits
16: 16 bits
Note
Video data is recorded on the
tape using 10 bits. Therefore,
when the bit depth of a main
picture file is set to 8 bits, the
lower 2 bits of the video data are
dropped.
Normally, when the bit depth is set
to 16 bits, only the upper 10 bits of
the video data are effective.
However, if a lookup table (LUT) is
used to convert the 10-bit depth of
the input signal to 12- or 16-bit
depth for output, the upper 12 bits
become effective.
IMAGE SIZE Shows the size of the main picture
files.
RANGE
(for DPX, CIN, or
TIFF files)
Specifies how the signal level is
converted for the main picture
files to be imported.
Head t Full: During import, the
effective video signal range
(64-940) of video signals with
headroom is extended to full
range (0-1023).
Head tHead: Video signals with
headroom are imported as is.
Full tFull*: Full-range (0-1023)
picture data are imported as
is.
LUT
(for DPX, CIN, or
TIFF files)
Selects the lookup table to be
applied to imported main picture
data.
off*: No lookup table is applied.
BANK1 to BANK8: Select lookup
table bank 1 to 8.
By using the LUT tag display of

2 Determine the section on tape to be imported.
There are four ways to determine the section to be
imported.
• While playing the tape and monitoring the proxies
on the left side of the display or the monitor
connected to the VTR, click the MarkIn button at the
point that you want to specify as the IN point. Then,
click the MarkOut button at the point that you want
to specify as the OUT point.
• Enter the IN point timecode in the IN box, and enter
the OUT point timecode in the OUT box.
• Enter the IN point timecode in the IN box, and enter
the duration of the section to be imported in the DUR
box.
• Click the MarkIn button in the IN box at the point
you want to specify as the IN point. Then enter the
duration of the section to be imported in the DUR
box.
To enter timecode in drop frame mode
Enter a comma “,” or a semi-colon “;” as the delimiter
between the seconds and the frames, instead of a colon
“:”.
Specifying IN/OUT points by loading an
EDL
The section to be imported can be specified by loading an
EDL created using an external editor.
Click the Browse… button at the right of the EDL box in
the VTR CONTROL tag display and specify the EDL that
is stored on a disk of the web client or external media, and
then click the LOAD button.
The EDL formats that can be loaded are CMX, GVG, and
BVE-9000/9100.
To put handles to the IN/OUT point positions by
frame
Enter the value (frames) in the HANDLES box. According
to the entered value, the IN point shifts in the reverse
direction and the OUT points shifts in the forward
direction compared to the original positions of the IN/OUT
points in the EDL.
Loading a clip sequence from the export
log display
For details, see “To load a clip sequence from the export
log display” on page 28.
Loading a clip sequence from Tele-File
By selecting the clip from the clip list stored in the Tele-
File label on the cassette tape, the clip sequence can be
loaded directly to the clip list.
Click the Tele-File button at the right of the EDL box in the
VTR CONTROL tag display to open the CASSETTE tag
display, and select the clip to be loaded from the clip list
stored to the Tele-File label on the cassette tape. Then,
select “Direct to Import List” for the FILE TYPE box, and
then, click the SAVE button.
For details see “Outputting Tele-File Information” on
page 34.
Checking the clip list and transposing
clips
After specifying the IN/OUT points, double-click the
proxy to register the section between the IN and OUT
points in the clip list. Registered clips can be viewed in the
CLIP LIST area of the VTR CONTROL tag display.
Registered clips can be transposed through drag-and-drop
operations.
When multiple clips are registered, importing starts from
the top of the list and continues to the bottom of the list.
To clear the contents of the clip list
Click the CLEAR button in the CLIP LIST area of the
VTR CONTROL tag display.
To remove a specific clip
Double-click the clip.
To leave out the clips with the same reel name
While holding down the Shift key and the Ctrl key (or the
Alt key) on the keyboard, double-click one of the
registered clips. The clips with the same reel name remain
and all other clips are deleted.
The reel name is indicated above the IN/OUT/DUR boxes
in the CLIP LIST area.
The VTR CONTROL tag display opens as shown below.
