Create an end-to-end MPEG environment with
Sony MSW-2000 Series MPEG IMX Studio Editing VTRs
As the broadcasting industry has entered a digital networked environment, users have become aware of the significant benefits of consistent MPEG compression throughout the entire production process. MPEG-2 – the selected standard for DTV distribution thanks to its quality, cost-effectiveness, and efficiency in transmission – has naturally become a strategic choice for use in a variety of production and postproduction applications.
Sony’s response to this is the MSW-2000 Series of MPEG IMXTM VTRs, operating on MPEG-2 4:2:2 P@ML at 30/40/50 Mb/s, I-frame only compression. This family of VTRs offers four studio recorders and two players, each optimized for environments where picture quality and operability are of prime concern.
A distinct advantage of these VTRs is their powerful legacy playback capability of Sony standard-definition 1/2-inch tape formats*. This not only protects vast quantities of archive material, but also allows continued use of those all-important acquisition tools, for a smooth migration into an open MPEG environment.

Equally important, the MSW-2000 Series is built to accommodate a standard Gigabit Ethernet interface for integration into a TCP/IP networked world. With this capability, video assets on tape can be converted to computer data files and flexibly exchanged between other network-capable devices, such as the Sony XDCAMTM Series optical disc recording system, XPRITM Series nonlinear editing systems, and a variety of compatible third-party server systems.
Far from just another VTR format, the Sony MPEG IMX VTRs combine the benefits of an open MPEG environment with the convenience of both synchronous and asynchronous operations.
*Playback-compatible formats vary by product.

MPEG-2 4:2:2P@ML 50 Mb/s, I-frame Compression
MSW-2000 Series VTRs employ 8-bit 4:2:2P@ML component video sampling and MPEG-2 4:2:2 P@ML data compression at 50 Mb/s, I-frame only, thus offering superb picture quality and editing performance.

Powerful Legacy Playback Capability
One significant feature of MPEG IMX VTRs is the legacy playback capability to replay all of Sony’s digital Digital BETACAM and BETACAM SX to analog BETACAM SP and BETACAM 1/2-inch SD formats. This not only protects legacy analog libraries, but also protects ongoing analog acquisition. This feature makes these VTRs an ideal solution for migrating from analog to a digital, MPEG-based environment.

IP-Network Interface
As standard, the MSW-M2000E and
MSW-M2100E VTRs are capable of sending and receiving video and audio material as data files through a common network. The four other MSW-2000 models also offer this capability via an optional plug-in board, the BKMW-E3000. These network-capable VTRs, distinguished by the name “e-VTR”, offer powerful features to revolutionize current production workflows using typical network infrastructures. (See page 7 for feature details.)

MPEG Bit Stream Data Over SDTI-CP
SDTI-CP (Serial Digital Transport Interface- Content Packages) is an industry-standard interface that is defined by SMPTE 326M. With SDTI-CP, an MPEG elementary stream output can be openly interfaced to compatible products without signal deterioration. There are a number of SDTI-CP- equipped nonlinear editors and servers available from leading manufacturers as well as Sony, giving the widest possible choice.

High-Speed Data Transfer
As a standard feature, MSW-2000 Series VTRs* enable the MPEG elementary stream
to be transferred at twice-normal playback speed**. This is an effective feature when integrating an MSW-2000 Series VTRs into a production system using the SDTI-CP interface - for example, the Sony XPRITM nonlinear editor or Sony MAV-555A
server - since material can be digitized at
twice-normal playback speed and virtually
without signal degradation.
*Only the MSW-2000 model requires an optional part. Please contact your nearest Sony office.
**Transfer at twice-normal playback speed is available only when playing back an MPEG IMX cassette.

High-Definition Up-Conversion Output
Another interface option, the BKMW-104 up-conversion board, allows 1080/59.94i and 720/59.94P output from the playback (off-tape) signals of standard-definition 1/2-inch formats*, including BETACAM, BETACAM SP, BETACAM SX, and Digital BETACAM as well as MPEG IMX cassettes. This option enables smooth migration to future HDTV operations.
*Playback-compatible formats vary by product.

Compact Body Design
MSW-2000 Series VTRs feature a compact 4U design* and weigh only 23 kg (50 lb 11 oz) – 12 kg (approx. 26 lb) lighter than the DVW-A500 Digital BETACAM VTR. *427x174x544mm(167/8x67/8x211/2inches)

Elegant Front-Panel Design
These VTRs offer two major front-panel design innovations, while keeping knobs and buttons in their familiar positions.
A clear, multi-function display provides comprehensive information, allowing quick access and easy control of a variety of functions. Additionally, dedicated control knobs are included for each of the eight, independently editable audio channels.

High-Quality Digital Audio MSW-2000 Series VTRs provide eight channels of independently editable, 16-bit audio as standard. They can also be switched to provide four channels of 24-bit digital audio.

LongRecordingand Playback Times
These VTRs provide long recording and playback times.

184 (525)/220 (625) minutes
using an L cassette

60 (525)/71 (625) minutes
using an S cassette

525/60, 625/50 Switchable Operation
MSW-2000 Series VTRs offer 525/625 switchable operation for all playback- compatible 1/2-inch formats.
*For playback of 625-line BETACAM and BETACAM SP tapes in 525 machines and vice versa, the video outputs are for monitoring purpose only.

Versatile Interfaces
These VTRs are equipped with a wide
range of interfaces including SD-SDI, SDTI-CP, analog component/composite, and analog/digital audio. This versatility allows the MSW-2000 Series VTRs to be easily integrated into a variety of systems. By adding the optional BKMW-104 board, HD-SDI output is also available. The optional BKMW-E3000 board further adds an IP-network interface.
*Either the BKMW-104 or BKMW-E3000 can be installed in the VTR.
