Major features
The PDJ-A640 Professional Disc Cart is an automatic changer system for optical
disc cartridges in which 4 video decks (Professional Disc Recorders) and 640 optical
disc cartridges can be mounted at maximum.
You can record and store valuable materials of approx. 500 to 2000 hours (when
using the dual-layer discs) on optical discs of high durability and high accessibility
in the MXF (Material eXchange Format) format.
For control interface, the Cart employs RS-232C/422A and enables you to control it
using the conventional VCC protocol. In combination with upper-level application
software, the Cart can establish a system for auto-injest, archiving, and tape digitiz-
ing applications.
It accepts the PDW-1500 (SD model), the PDW-F70/F75*1(HD 4:2:0 model), the
PDW-HD1500*2and PDW-F1600 (HD 4:2:2/4:2:0 and SD model) in its video deck
shelf, enabling SD and HD combined operations.
*1: To install the PDW-F70/F75 in this Cart, the optional PDBK-A640 is required and for the PDW-F75, the
optional PDBK-104 is also required. For installation, refer to the Installation Manual supplied with the
PDBK-A640/PDBK-104.
*2: To make the PDW-HD1500 support both HD and SD, the PDBK-S1500 or PDBK-F1500 (sold separately)
is necessary. For details about the installation, refer to the installation guide supplied with the PDBK-
S1500 or PDBK-F1500.

Highly reliable data recording/playback with multiple video decks in a
compact space
Up to 640 optical disc cartridges (PFD23/dual-layer PFD50DLA*3) can be stored in
a Cart of 680 mm in width. The Cart permits recording and playback in synchroniza-
tion with video frames using the mounted four (at maximum) Professional Disc
Recorders (PDW-1500/PDW-HD1500/PDW-F1600, or PDW-F70/PDW-F75 on
which the PDBK-A640 has been attached).
At the sametime, the Cart can read and written the MXF file via network using the
Cart Interface Software PDJ-CS10.
*3 : PFD50DLA supports PDW-HD1500, PDW-F1600 and PDW-F75.
Refer to the Operation Manual or Instruction Manual of the respective Disc Recorders for details.
Control with the conventional VCC protocol
The Professional Disc Cart conforms to the VCC interface (RS-232C/422A).
Operations with the conventional barcode system
A barcode reader is built into the elevator, and operations with the barcode system
are enabled with optical disc cartridges.
For details on the barcodes to be used with this product, see “Specifications” on the
Operation Manual.
Maintenance with SNMP
The Cart supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol). For example,
monitoring using the Sony “MMStation” Remote Maintenance and Monitoring
Software is possible. This program enables you to monitor and record the hardware
statuses in real time via a TCP/IP network. If any hardware problem is detected, you
can analyse the problem at once and take necessary countermeasures.

At least three persons must work together for safety when bringing down the PDJ-A640 from the bottom
tray using the slope.
There maybe a height difference between the bottom tray and the slope, which catches the casters as the
PDJ-A640 passes over. Move the PDJ-A640 slowly and gently so that it does not tilt.
