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
1)
transferred as the DPX
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
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).
Note
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.
2)
Note
The HKSR-5804 can transfer the material as the MXF files
only when the signal format is 4:2:2 YCbCr.
