Overview
Overview
The BKMW-E3000 is a network interface board for
installation in an MSW-2000 series digital videocassette
recorder. With this board installed, the VTR can be added
to a 10/100/1000Base-T network to transfer video, audio,
and metadata as MXF files. You can use MXF data
received over the network to record video, audio, and
metadata to cassettes. MXF (Material Exchange Format) is
a file format that stores video, audio, and metadata in a
single package. It enables communications between
network devices such as VTRs and servers.
e-VTR Functions
A VTR with this board installed (called an e-VTR below)
provides the following functions in addition to functions
provided by standard MSW-2000 series VTR.
MXF file transfer and reception (file
management)
MXF files containing video, audio, and metadata can be
sent and received over a network (using FTP protocol).
MXF Proxy AV file transfer
You can store low-resolution video, audio, and metadata as
an MXF file and handle the file at a low transfer rate. Files
that contain such low-resolution video and audio data are
called “MXF Proxy AV files.” MXF Proxy AV files are
played back using the supplied Windows application
software e-VTR Manager.
Copying of timecode from the source
material
Timecode (LTC) from the source tape in the transmitting
VTR can be copied as is to the cassette tape in the receiving
VTR. The Setup menu of the receiving VTR (ITEM-252:
TCG NETWORK REGEN MODE) can be used to specify
whether the timecode is regenerated or copied as is from
the source tape.
Web server network services
Internet browsers such as Internet Explorer and Netscape
Navigator can be used for the following operations:
• File operations
• Displaying the hours meter
• Displaying the error logger list
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) settings
• Displaying network information
• Displaying menus for network operations
Windows application network services
Installing e-VTR Manager, the supplied Windows
application, allows FTP file transfer and monitoring of
video and audio from the application.
Using the e-VTR control panel to transfer
FTP/HTTP files
You can use the control panel operation of the e-VTR
instead of the supplied Windows application e-VTR
Manager to transfer FTP or HTTP files. If you specify IN
and OUT points in advance, you can then transfer the
section between the points as a file. Up to 5 servers can be
registered as transfer destinations. These destination
settings are saved even after the power to the VTR is turned
off.
e-monitor functions
Video and audio can be monitored on a computer screen.
Video is sent from the e-VTR using JPEG compression,
and audio is sent using A-Law compression.
Network transmission data rate limitations
Limitations can be placed on data transmission rates for
transmissions from the e-VTR to the network. This can
prevent congestion and severe degradation in performance
when the network is busy.
Automatic acquisition of IP addresses and
other network settings
Network settings for the e-VTR (IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway) can be automatically acquired from a
DHCP server when the VTR is turned on and the VTR set
according to the information. In order to utilize this
function, it is necessary to install a DHCP server or a
DHCP relay agent on the same network as the e-VTR.
Network operation using a host name
(DNS client function)
When connecting with external devices via network,
operations can be achieved using the host names as well as
the IP addresses. Specifying a server to be connected by
its host name pemits the server to be easily identified.
File jump function
When the tape already contains data defined as MXF files,
you can jump between neighboring files and play the files
back.
Automatic creation of MXF files from tape
or memory label information
MXF files can be automatically created from information
in the timecode (LTC) on the tape (rec start marks, shot
marks, post marks) or from information recorded on the
6
Overview
memory label (rec start marks, shot marks, cue points, IN/
OUT points).
User registration
Up to 5 users can be registered for one e-VTR.
One of the registered users is “superuser,” and the other
users are “general users,” registered by the superuser.
The privileges of the users are as follows:
Superuser
• Can register general users.
• Can view video and audio recorded at any location on
cassette tapes.
• Can create files at any location on cassette tapes.
• Can change the properties of files owned by all users.
General users
• Can change own password.
• Can view file segments in files to which the user has
access privileges.
• Can modify attributes of files for which the user has
attribute modification privileges.
The superuser registers general users on the user
registration page of the Web application (see page 42).
General users can use the same page to change their own
passwords.
Backing up Setup menu settings
Setup menu settings of the e-VTR can be saved to the
computer via a network. The saved file can then be used to
recover settings or copied to other e-VTRs.
SNMP (Simple Network Management
Protocol) function
The SNMP function allows management information on
network devices (i.e., the e-VTR) to be monitored from
external monitoring software. SNMP settings for each e-
VTR on the network can be made through the maintenance
screen of the Web browser.
External server link of metadata
A meta-data file in an external server can be downloaded
and stored with video and audio data as a single MXF file
enabling file transmission. You can thus operate metadata
under external control and video/audio data recorded on
tapes in collaboration.
Automatic file-system data operations with
an external server
Information regarding the file system is normally stored in
the Tele-File. You can set your e-VTR to write and
automatically read these data to/from an external server.
This permits you to specify many files regardless of the
Tele-File capacity.
e-VTR Manager Application Software
Functions
The supplied e-VTR Manager application software can be
installed on a computer connected to the e-VTR to enable
control of the e-VTR from the computer.
The software provides the following functions.
MXF file transfers between FTP servers,
including the e-VTR
The application can control MXF file transfers between e-
VTRs and between e-VTRs and servers, You can register
multiple network devices on a single computer and control
the devices individually.
e-VTR file creation, modification, and
deletion
Files can be created by defining the top and end of
previously recorded sections on the tape. These files can be
modified and deleted.
e-VTR video and audio monitoring
The contents of video and audio files on the e-VTR can be
monitored in real time on the computer. You can create
files while checking video and audio.
Storage and playback of MXF Proxy AV
files
You can load MXF Proxy AV files from an e-VTR to a
local disk of your PC. It is also possible to play back MXF
Proxy AV files stored on the local disk.

Setting the Transfer Processing for
Nonrecorded Sections
When the material transfer range is from the tape top to the
tape end (transfer of the virtual file &whole.mxf), or from
the current position to the tape end (transfer of the virtual
file ¤t.mxf), you can stop the transfer automatically
when a nonrecorded section is played back continuously
for a specific length of time. This setting is effective when
you do not know the length of the material but want to
transmit from a specific position to the last point where
signals are recorded.
When required, change the setting using the Setup menu
ITEM-251: NO RF TIME on the transmitting VTR.
For details on setup operation, refer to the Operation
Manual supplied with the VTR.
The setting range is from 5 sec to 30 sec. The default value
is 30 sec.
Copying the Timecode Recorded in
the Source Cassette
To enable the timecode (LTC) on the source cassette in the
transmitting VTR to be recorded as-is to the cassette in the
receiving VTR, this must be set on the Setup menu ITEM-
252: TCG NETWORK REGEN MODE.
For details on setup operation, refer to the Operation
Manual supplied with the VTR.
off (default setting): The recorded timecode is
regenerated by the timecode generator during
recording of video/audio signals transferred through
the network.
on: The timecode generator locks to the timecode of the
transmitting VTR and the timecode on the source tape
is copied as-is during recording of video/audio signals
transferred through the network.
• When recording signals through an interface external to
the network to which the VTR is connected, the recorded
timecode is generated on the receiving VTR in
accordance with the Function menu setting.
• When receiving files, files with regenerated timecode
and files for which original timecode is copied cannot be
recorded on the same tape.
Selecting the Output Audio Channel
of e-Monitor
To change the output audio channel of e-monitor, a setting
must be made on the Setup menu ITEM-253: E-
MONITOR AUDIO SELECT on the VTR.

Enabling File Transfer Through
Control Panel Operation
To enable FTP or HTTP file transfer using the control
panel of the e-VTR without using the supplied Windows
application, e-VTR Manager, the information on the
transfer destination servers must be registered with the
Web pages.
For the Web pages, see “MXF D10 Transfer Destination
Page” on page 46 and “MXF Proxy AV Transfer
Destination Page” on page 47.
After registration on the Web pages, select the registration
numbers of the destination servers of MXF D10 and MXF
Proxy AV transfers by operating the Setup menu from the
control panel.
For details on setup operation, refer to the Operation
Manual supplied with the VTR.
The registration number of the destination server for
MXF D10 materials is to be selected using the Setup
menu ITEM-254: MXF D10 DESTINATION NO. on the
transmitting VTR.
1 to 5: Registration number of the server you registered in
the Web window (default setting: 1)
The registration number of the destination server for
MXF Proxy AV materials is to be selected using the
Setup menu ITEM-255: MXF PRX DESTINATION NO.
on the transmitting VTR.
1 to 5: Registration number of the server you registered on
the Web page (default setting: 1)
To transfer files through the control panel
To transfer a file while playing back the tape or while

To send a file while playing back the tape, cue to the
position from where you wish the transfer to start then
press the PLAY button while holding the ENTRY
button pressed.
To send a file while recording the input signal on
the tape, simultaneously press the REC and PLAY
buttons while holding the ENTRY button pressed.
The e-VTR starts to transfer data.

When the destination is an FTP server, press the
STOP button when playback or recording of the
portion to be transferred ends,
The file transmission operation is completed after the
portion stored in the buffer memory on the network
board has been completely transferred.
When the destination is an HTTP server,
transmission automatically ends when the duration
specified using the Setup menu ITEM-256: HTTP
TRANSFER DURATION has elapsed.
If you press the STOP button during transmission,
transmission is terminated, and the file created on the
destination server is erased.
To transfer a specified portion on the tape
as a file
1
Play back the tape and register the IN and OUT points
for the portion be transferred.
2
Press the PLAY button while holding the ENTRY
button pressed.
The portion between the IN and OUT points is tranferred
as a file.
Note that this operation is not possible if F6 (TR_SEL) has
been set to BOTH.
• When sending both MXF D10 and MXF Proxy AV while
playing back the tape or sending an MXF D10 or MXF
Proxy AV signal while recording the input signal on the
tape, it must be guaranteed that the destination server
and the network are in sufficient conditions to send each
of material files in the actual time alloted.
If the bandwidth of the network is insufficient, and
transfer of the material is jammed, parts of data may be
lost, and the file may not conform to the MXF file
standards.
• MXF Proxy AV transmission is not possible if the Setup
menu ITEM-111: TSO/PLAY has been set to FEED.
Therefore, if you set F6 (TR_SEL) to Proxy or BOTH,
file transmission is disabled.
To specify the transmission size (duration)
for the HTTP server
When the destination is an HTTP server, it is necessary to
specify the duration of the material to be sent, using the
Setup menu ITEM-256: : HTTP TRANSFER DURATION
in advance.
20 sec, 40 sec, 60 sec, 90 sec, 120 sec, 150 sec, 180 sec:
