MSW-2000P Series
Studio Editing Recorders

In the digitally based broadcast industry of today and tomorrow,
only the fittest enterprises will grow and prosper. In short, those that
deliver the quality, flexibility, choice and value - that an ever more
demanding audience requires.
Whatever your medium, from satellite or terrestrial to cable; and
whether you operate locally, nationally or internationally, networked
systems based upon open MPEG-2 compression, can deliver what’s
required at every step of the programme production chain.
Hence the rapid increase in the popularity of MPEG-2 based
systems. The advantages of this technology are felt at every stage
of the process. Not only is MPEG-2 the worldwide standard for
digital programme delivery via DTV, DVB and DVD, it is also widely
used for the contribution and distribution of material between studio
centres.
In addition, MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML is also a firm favourite for
programme production. Thus the number of linear and non-linear
options based upon this system continues to increase dramatically.
MPEG-2 brings a number of pivotal benefits to your organisation.
These range from its versatility - optimising quality and cost for each
programme application; interoperability - bringing you an extensive
choice of equipment from multiple suppliers and the reassurance of
a future-proof investment.
Today as broadcasters begin to reap the full advantages of
MPEG-2 technology, they are demanding the resources to produce
programmes of the very highest quality using recording systems that
are also based upon open compression and interfacing standards.
In anticipation of this requirement, Sony has introduced a new
family of MPEG IMX™ Studio Editing Recorders based upon
MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML data compression at 50Mb/s intra-frame -
the MSW-2000P Series.
Developed from Sony’s unique experience of, and world
renowned reputation for, 1/2“ recorders : Betacam, Betacam SP,
Digital Betacam and Betacam SX, the MSW-2000P Series ensures
compatibility with all Betacam-based tape libraries and facilities.
So not only is this exciting new range the ideal tool for migrating to
an open MPEG-2 environment - quickly, simply and cost effectively;
it is perfect for protecting your investment in current 1/2” resources.

The MSW-2000P Series employs 8-bit 4:2:2 component
video sampling and MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML data compression
at 50Mb/s, I-frame. This provides very high picture quality
and excellent multi-generation performance.
MSW-2000P Series recorders can input and output an
MPEG-2 Elementary Stream via SDTI-CP (SMPTE 326M),
enabling the transfer of data to other MPEG devices, such
as non-linear editors and servers.
The Series features a compact 4U-size design -
174 x 427 x 550 (H x W x D) - and weighs only 22kg.
MSW-2000P Series recorders offer two major innovations in
front-panel design, while retaining the familiar operational
controls of recorders such as Betacam SP, Betacam SX and
Digital Betacam. A clear multi-function display provides
comprehensive information, allowing quick access and easy
control of a variety of functions. Additionally, dedicated
controls are included for each of the eight, independently
editable audio channels.
MSW-2000P Series recorders provide eight, independently
editable, 16-bit 48kHz channels as standard. They can also
be switched to provide four channels of 24-bit 48kHz
digital audio.
MSW-2000P Series recorders provide long recording and
playback times.
•220 (625)/184 (525) minutes - L cassette
•71 (625)/60 (525) minutes - S cassette
MSW-2000P Series recorders offer 625/525 switchable
operation for all playback-compatible 1/2-inch formats.
*For playback of 525 line Betacam SP tape in 625 machines and vice
versa, the analogue composite outputs are for monitoring purposes only.

Most of the electronic circuitry of the MSW-2000P
Series is arranged on plug-in boards for quick and
easy maintenance. The drum assembly and tape
transport have been designed to provide low-cost
maintenance and ensure rugged and reliable
operation. An upper drum mechanism has been
used to significantly reduce the time required for
periodic scanner replacement.

Tapes containing Shot Marks can be scanned by the
MSW-2000P Series. The position of each Shot Mark
can be automatically detected and - after scanning -
can be displayed on a monitor. This allows fast and
easy cueing to any mark.

Pre-read editing is a standard feature of all MSW-2000P
Series recorders. This significantly speeds up the
editing process and simplifies operations such as titling,
video layering and audio sweetening.
