Computer access to files (file access mode)
Video and audio clip data are recorded as files. The FAM
function enables quick random access by computers to the
video, audio, and metadata
1)
files stored on Professional
Discs, with the ability to display thumbnail lists on the
computer screen and perform file-based reads and writes.

video and audio data, such as the date of shooting, the editor, the recording
format, and comments. This data can be used in the following ways.
• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can add titles,
comments, and other text data to discs and clips.
• The ability to search metadata for the required audio and video scenes
brings greater efficiency to various stages of the video production
process (editing, archiving).

PDBK-101 Network Board (Gigabit
Ethernet)
Installation of this board provides a gigabit Ethernet
connector, which can be used to transfer disc files over
LAN networks and to record MXF (Material eXchange
Format) files from external devices to discs.
It also allows this unit to be controlled remotely by FTP
commands.
PDBK-102 MPEG-TS (Transport Stream)
Input/Output Board
Installation of this board enhances the functionality of the
standard i.LINK connector, allowing it to be used as an
I/O interface for HDV
1)
1080i
2)
format compatible TS
3)
signals.
HD files recorded on the disc can be converted to TS
signals compatible with the HDV1080i format for transfer
to HDV devices and HDV editors, and TS signals from
HDV devices and HDV editors can be converted to MPEG
HD compatible files for recording by this unit.

and control information. This is the standard interface for HDV
equipment.
PDBK-103 Analog HD Input Board
Installation of this board provides analog HD component
input connectors, to enable recoding of analog HD
component input signals (RGB and YPbPr, Sync) to discs.
PDBK-104 SD Input Upconverter Board
Installation of this board provides SD input connectors to
enable input of SD signals (SDSDI and composite), which
can then be recorded on DVCAM-format discs or
upconverted and recorded on HD-format discs.
This unit cannot record non-standard composite signals,
for example the output of VTRs that are not equipped with
time base correctors.
