Overview

1-1 Features
The PDW-R1 is a convenient, compact, and lightweight
optical disc recorder. It allows you to record to optical
discs, play back optical discs, and record audio and video
data files transferred over the S400 (i.LINK 1)) connector
and
(network) connector. It is ideal for field
applications and for desktop viewing by journalists,
producers, and other production staff.
1) i.LINK is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

The features of the PDW-R1 include the following.

MPEG IMX/DVCAM recording
The PDW-R1 offers the capability to record and play back
both MPEG IMX 1) and DVCAM 1) streams. Users have
the flexibility to select from these formats according to
their picture-quality needs, or to match their editingformat requirements.
1) MPEG IMX and DVCAM are trademarks of Sony Corporation.

Proxy AV data
Proxy AV data is a low-resolution, MPEG-4 based version
of a full-resolution MPEG IMX/DVCAM stream (a video
bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps
per channel). Whenever a recording is made, the unit
automatically generates proxy AV data from the fullresolution data and records it on the Professional Disc.
Proxy AV data is much smaller in size than the fullresolution IMX or DVCAM data. It can be transferred
quickly over computer networks, easily edited in the field
with laptop computers, and readily used in a wide variety
of applications, such as content management on smallscale servers.

Chapter

1

Thumbnail search operation
Simply press the THUMBNAIL button and the PDW-R1
instantly displays thumbnails on the video panel or a
connected monitor. You can easily cue up the desired
scene by guiding the cursor to the corresponding
thumbnail and confirming your selection with the SET
button.

Scene selection
You can create and play back clip lists of selected clips
from the disc, arranged in any order.
One disc can store up to 99 clip lists.
Clip lists make it simple to perform offline editing in the
field for later use with full-scale nonlinear editing systems
(XPRI 1), etc.).
1) XPRI is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Quick picture search by jog and shuttle
dials
The PDW-R1 has jog and shuttle dials as a conventional
VTR to search picture in a clip. The jog dial is for frameby-frame search at –1 to +1 times normal speed and the
shuttle dial is for high-speed search at ±20 times normal
speed.

IT-friendly system
In the PDW-R1, clips are recorded as video and audio data
files 1). This file-based recording system also allows
material to be viewed directly on a computer linked to the
unit via an i.LINK (file access mode, called FAM below)
connection—in the same way that a computer reads data
files on an external drive. The interfaces include the
S400 (i.LINK) connector, supporting AV/C (Audio/
Video Control) and i.LINK (FAM) protocols, and
(network) connector. The
(network) connector
supports MXF (Material eXchange Format) file transfer
capability to exchange contents with other equipment
supporting MXF.

1-1 Features

9

Chapter 1 Overview

1) A clip is created every time recording is stopped.
•Video and audio data are always recorded in empty sections of the disc.
Recording begins instantly, even after playback, without overwriting
existing video on the disc.
•Recording is done in clip units, which makes it simple to delete a clip
immediately after shooting if it is judged to be unneeded.
•During playback, thumbnail lists make it easy to identify clips. The
random access nature of the media allows the NEXT and PREV buttons
to jump instantly to clip start frames, making it easy to check the video
and audio in the clips.
•i.LINK (FAM) or network connections make it possible to transfer clip
files at high speed between this unit and remote computers.

Flexible metadata recording
XDCAM 1) can record various types of metadata together
with video and audio data, such as the date and time of
shooting, the cameraman, the recording method, and
comments about the material. This metadata can be used in
applications such as the following.
• The supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be
used to add titles, comments, and other text data to discs
and clips.
• Computer-readable text files can be recorded on the
Professional Disc, to allow systematic content
management.
• 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, etc.).
1) XDCAM is a trademark of Sony Corporation.

Supports a variety of interfaces
The PDW-R1 supports a variety of interfaces and is
suitable for use with various nonlinear editing systems.
Analog interfaces
Video: The unit can input and output a composite analog
video signal.
Audio: The unit has two audio channels. When in 4channel mode, you can input two channels of audio
either as channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4. The
two audio channels can be output also either as
channels 1 and 2 or as channels 3 and 4.
Digital interfaces
SDI (Serial Digital Interface)/AES/EBU: This allows
the unit to input and output D1 (component) format
digital video and audio signals and also AES/EBUformat digital audio signals.

Equipped with i.LINK connector
The i.LINK connector of this unit supports the following
two functions.
Input and output of DV streams (AV/C mode)
• DV streams can be output from this unit and recorded on
standard DV equipment.
• During MPEG IMX playback, the playback signals can
be converted and output as DV streams, allowing you to
connect DV-compatible nonlinear editors.

10

1-1 Features

• The output from external DV devices (VTRs, nonlinear
editors, etc.) can be input to this unit and recorded on
Professional Discs.
Computer access to files (file access mode)
Use of application software which supports the XDCAM
series 1) enables random access to video, audio, and
metadata files on Professional Discs, with the ability to
display file lists and perform file-based reads and
overwrites.
Files can be transferred at high speed, and thumbnail lists
of disc contents can be viewed on computer screens.
1) Such software includes the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software and
the XPRI series.

Equipped with network connector
This network connector of unit can be connected to
computers and networks to enable high-speed file transfers
and display of lists of the video, audio, and metadata files
stored on Professional Discs. Workflows can be improved
by the ability to use FTP commands to transfer files to
remote locations.

Color LCD built-in
With the built-in 3.5-inch type color LCD screen, you can
display contents on the disc without an external monitor.

Compact size, lightweight and batterypowered operation
The PDW-R1 is designed small and light enough to carry
out to the field and it is operable with battery to work
speedily in the field.

Supporting SNMP for service and
maintenance
The PDW-R1 is compatible with Sony remote
maintenance and monitoring software—an SNMPcompliant application that can monitor and log the
hardware’s status in real time via a TCP/IP network. If a
malfunction is detected, this system can immediately
identify the problem, allowing you to take corrective

See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for
more information about how to make these settings.
Notes

• If video or audio signals from an external device
connected with the S400 (i.LINK) connector are not
output, disconnect the i.LINK cable and connect it again,
pushing it straight in.
• When the PDW-R1 is connected to a device with a 6-pin
i.LINK connector by an i.LINK cable, before
unplugging the i.LINK cable, first power off the device
and disconnect the power plug from the outlet. If the
i.LINK cable is unplugged with the device power plug
still connected, a current from an excessive voltage (8 to
40 V) output from the i.LINK connector of the device
flows into the PDW-R1. This may cause a failure of the
PDW-R1.
• When connecting the PDW-R1 to a device with a 6-pin
i.LINK connector, connect to the 6-pin i.LINK
connector of the other device first.
• Except in playback mode (jog and shuttle modes, etc.), if
you are monitoring the audio signal output from this
connector on another device, the audio signal may sound
differently from the audio signal played back on the
PDW-R1.

Display

Name

Description

Green condition

There is no problem with the
playback condition. This unit
and the disc can be used just
as they are. This
corresponds to the “green”
channel condition indicator of
a VTR.

Yellow condition

The playback condition has
deteriorated. There are no
read errors,a) but you should
take the action described in
the next section. This
corresponds to the “red”
channel condition indicator of
a VTR.

a) Read errors will occur if the playback condition continues to deteriorate.
If a read error occurs, a “Disc Error!” alarm appears in the time data
display, the picture freezes, and audio is muted.

To display playback condition marks, set basic menu item
012 “CONDITION DISPLAY ON VIDEO MONITOR”
to “ena,” and set basic menu item 005 “DISPLAY
INFORMATION SELECT” to “T&sta.”
For details about operation, see 7-2-2 “Basic Menu
Operations” (page 94).

For details, see 8-1-1 “Digital Hours Meter” (page 120)
about this setting.
Refer to the Maintenance Manual for an approximate
guide to when it is time to replace optical heads.
To prevent playback conditions from
deteriorating
Pay attention to the following points when handling discs.
• Do not open disc cartridges and touch discs directly with
your hands.
• Do not store for long periods in locations which are
dusty or exposed to air circulated by fans.
• Do not store for long periods under high temperatures or
in locations exposed to direct sunlight.

Chapter 3 Preparations

Red condition

The playback condition has
deteriorated to some degree.
There are no read errors, but
you should take the action
described in the next section.
This corresponds to the
“yellow” channel condition
indicator of a VTR.

• Deteriorating laser diodes performance
The performance of the laser diodes used in optical
heads can worsen with age, leading to deteriorating
playback conditions.
You can use the digital clock to check the total optical
output time of optical heads.

If playback conditions have deteriorated
If a yellow or red playback condition mark appears, check
the following points.
Whether the disc displays the same playback condition
on other XDCAM devices: If so, the surface of the
disc may be dirty or scratched, or the performance of
the recording layers on the disc may have worsened
due to age. Do not use discs with these symptoms.
Whether every disc inserted into an XDCAM device
displays the same playback conditions: If so, the
performance of the laser diodes may have deteriorated.
Check the total optical output time.

Playback condition displays
You can be alerted in advance to deteriorating playback
conditions and to error correction rates which are
approaching their limits.
Deteriorating playback may be due to the following
causes.
• Scratches and dust on the disc surface
This includes fingerprints, dust from the air, tar from
cigarette smoke, and so on.
Scratches and soiling which occur before recording are
not a problem because they are registered in advance as
defects, and recording avoids them. However, scratches
and soiling which occur after recording can lead to
deteriorating playback conditions.
• Aging of disc recording layers
Over several decades, the recording layers of optical
discs can age and cause deteriorating playback
conditions.
You can use this function to check archival discs and
other discs which have been stored for extended periods,
so that you can take action before the deterioration
progresses further.

3-6-2 Notes on Handling
Handling
The Professional Disc is housed in a cartridge, and is
designed to allow handling free of risk from dust or
fingerprints. However, if the cartridge is subjected to a
severe shock, for example by dropping it, this can result in
damage or scratching of the disc. If the disc is scratched, it
may be impossible to record video/audio, or to play back
the content recorded on the disc. The discs should be
handled and stored carefully.
• Do not touch the surface of the disc itself within the
cartridge.
• Deliberately opening the shutter may cause damage.
• Do not disassemble the cartridge.
• The supplied adhesive labels are recommended for
indexing discs. Apply the label in the correct position.

You can lock individual clips to prevent them from being
deleted. For details, see “Locking clips” (page 55).

3-6-4 Loading and Unloading a Disc
When the on/standby switch indicator is lit green, you can
load and unload a disc as shown in the following figure.
On/standby switch and
indicator
To unload

Storage
• Do not store discs where they may be subjected to direct
sunlight, or in other places where the temperature or
humidity is high.
• Do not leave cartridges where dust may be able to gain
ingress.
• Store cartridges in their cases.
Care of the discs
• Remove dust and dirt on the outside of a cartridge using
a soft dry cloth.
• If condensation forms, allow ample time to dry before
use.

Notes

Chapter 3 Preparations

• Do not turn this unit’s primary power off until recording
processing has finished and the ACCESS indicator has
gone out.
• This function salvages as much recorded material as
possible after an unforeseen accident, but 100%
restoration cannot be guaranteed.
• Even when this function is used, it is not possible to
recover data from immediately before the interruption of
recording. The amount of data lost is as follows.
- Quick salvage: From 2 to 4 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.
- Full salvage: From 4 to 6 seconds of data before the
interruption of recording.

Quick salvage
When the unit is powered on again after a recording
interruption due to power off, with the disc still loaded in
the unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of backup data
stored in nonvolatile memory and markers recorded on the
disc.
Processing time is about 5 seconds.

Full salvage
The disc is ejected.
After removing the disc, you do not need to return the
screw to its original position. Normal operation will
resume when the unit is powered on again.

3

Close the rubber cover firmly.

3-6-7 Handling of Discs When
Recording Does Not End
Normally (Salvage Function)
Recording processing does not end normally when the
primary power 1) of this unit is lost during recording.
Because the file system is not updated, video and audio
data recorded in real time is not recognized as files and clip
contents recorded up to that point are lost.
However, this unit has a salvage function which can hold
losses to the minimum by reconstructing clips on such
discs.
Note that no recorded clip contents are lost when the on/
standby switch on the control panel is set to standby,

3-6 Handling Discs

When a disc that was manually ejected from a device
subjected to a recording interruption due to power off is
loaded into this unit, clips are reconstructed on the basis of
markers recorded on the disc. Nonvolatile memory cannot
be used, so processing takes longer than for a quick
salvage (about 30 seconds, although it depends on the state
of the disc).
Proceed as follows to perform a full salvage.

1

Insert the disc on which recording did not end
normally.
The message “Salvage ?” appears.

2

Do one of the following.
To salvage
Press the SET button.
Processing begins and the message “Executing.”
appears.
Notes

• If the REC INHI indicator (see page 18) is lit, the
message “EJECT?” appears. Eject the disc, set the
Write Inhibit tab to the recording enable position,
and insert the disc again.
• This operation cannot be cancelled once it begins.
The message “Complete” appears when processing
finishes. If the message reads “Incomplete!,” the clips
that failed were lost.

To exit without salvaging
Press the RESET button.
The state of section where recording was interrupted is
saved, but no salvage processing is done.
Sections which were recorded normally can be played
back, but no new recording can be done on the disc. (A
quick format can be done on the disc, although all of
its contents will be lost.)
Note

Chapter 3 Preparations

Unless clips are salvaged, the message “Salvage ?”
appears again the next time the disc is inserted or the
unit is powered on.

Note

It is not possible to combine different recording formats on

sections on the disc does not match the current recording
format of this unit, the disc is record inhibited and the REC
INHI lights.

To set the video recording format

To adjust the audio recording levels

Use basic menu item 031 “RECORDING FORMAT” to
select the video recording format from MPEG IMX 50
Mbps, MPEG IMX 40 Mbps, MPEG IMX 30 Mbps, and
DVCAM.
The factory default setting is IMX50.

When carrying out audio recording at a reference
level
Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) to PRESET. The
audio signals will be recorded at a preset reference level.
Use the maintenance menu item “AUDIO CONFIG” to set
the audio input level and reference level.

For details of the basic menu operations, see 7-2-2 “Basic
Menu Operations” on page 94.

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 7-4-2
“Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 114.

To set the audio recording format
When using the MPEG IMX 50Mbps/40Mbps/30Mbps
for video: Use the maintenance menu item “AUDIO
CONFIG” to select 16 bits/8 channels or 24 bits/4
channels.
The factory default setting is 16 bits/8 channels.
When using the DVCAM format for video: Selection is
not necessary. The format of 16 bits/4 channels is
selected automatically.

Manually adjusting the audio recording
levels

For details of the maintenance menu operations, see 7-4-2
“Maintenance Menu Operations” on page 114.

To select the E-E mode, see extended menu item 108
“AUTO EE SELECT.”

File writing formats with FAM and FTP
connections
It is not necessary to set the video recording format
(IMX50/IMX40/IMX30/DVCAM) and the audio
recording format (16bit × 8ch/24bit × 4ch) before writing
files.
The file formats which can be written to the disc depend on
whether clips are already recorded on the disc.
When you insert a disc with no recorded clips: Files in
all of the above formats can be written.
When you insert a disc with recorded clips: Files in the
same video and audio formats as the clips on the disc
can be written.

To adjust the audio recording levels for channels 1 to 8
simultaneously, set extended menu item 131 “AUDIO
VOLUME” to “all” and turn the ALL/CH-1 adjustment
knob.

Chapter 4 Recording/Playback

Set the VARIABLE switch (see page 15) to REC and
adjust the ALL/CH-1 and CH-2 to CH-4 adjustment knobs
so that the audio level indications on the audio level meters
(see page 18) do not exceed 0 dB for a maximum volume.
Carry out the adjustment in E-E mode.

Making thumbnail image settings
As required, you can select which frame to display as a
clip’s thumbnail image. (When the unit is shipped from the
factory, it is set up to display the first frame as the
thumbnail.)
For example, if all clips have the same image in their first
frames, you can specify a frame a few seconds after the
start of the clip, so that thumbnails will not all show the
same image.
To specify the frame to use as the thumbnail
image
Set extended menu item 143 “INDEX PICTURE
POSITION” to a number in the range from 0 to 10, in units
of 1 second.
See 7-3-2 “Extended Menu Operations” (page 108) for
more information about how to make extended menu
settings.

Scene Selection

5-1 Overview
What is scene selection?
Scene selection is a function which allows you to select
material (clips) from the material recorded on a disc and
perform cut editing. You can do this by operating on this
unit only.
• Scene selection is a convenient way to perform cut
editing in the field and in other offline situations.
• Clip lists (edit data) created with the scene selection
function can be used on XPRI and other full-feature
nonlinear editing systems.

Clips
Material recorded on a disc with this unit is managed in
units called “clips.” A clip contains the material between a
recording start point (In point) and a recording end point
(Out point).
Clips have names beginning with “C” for example
“C0001.”

Clip lists
Data called a “clip list” is created when you use the scene

Clip list editing (current clip list)
Clip lists cannot be edited on disc. To edit clip lists, you
need to load them, one at a time, into the unit memory.
The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory
is called the “current clip list.”
The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation
and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip
list.
After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to
disc.

Browsing Software
When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing
Software installed is connected to this unit, you can
transfer the proxy AV data and metadata files recorded on
a disc to the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1
enables you to browse the proxy AV data, add or modify
metadata (titles, comments, essence marks, etc.), or create
a clip list.
The modified metadata and the created clip list can then be
written back to the disc loaded in this unit.

6-1-3 Assigning User-Defined Clip
Titles
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the
range C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF. For this reason, two
discs can contain clips with the same names. The
automatic title generation function allows you to assign
titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates
clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to
TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0017.MXF on disc 2.

As one of application of metadata, the UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is internationally standardized. 7-3 Extended Menu 109 What is a UMID? The UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE330M-2003 standard. The UMID may be used either as the 32-byte Basic UMID or as the Extended UMID, which includes an additional 32 bytes of Source Pack to make a total 64 bytes. For details, refer to SMPTE 330M. Extended UMID (64 bytes) Basic UMID (32 bytes) Source Pack (32 bytes) Universal label L Inst. No. Material Number Time/Date Spatial Co-ordinates 12 bytes 1 3 bytes 16 bytes 8 bytes 12 bytes Globally unique ID is automatically recorded in clip units. The Extended UMID is metadata that provides additional information such as location, time/date, company and so on. Instance No. Country Org User 4 bytes 4 bytes 4 bytes The UMID is applied as follows. Material No. ID generated when recording Same as the above Source Pack Shooting information (when, where and who) Same as the above M Material source ID/detecting material M Metadata pack that identifies the source of material unit by defining the when, where and who of the material unit with which it is associated. Chapter 7 Menus Original material: 00 00 00 Copied material: generation number (1 byte) + random number (2 bytes) M Distinguishing between the original material and copied material Using the Extended UMID You have to enter a country code, organization code and user code. Set the country code referring to the ISO-3166 table, and set the organization code and user code independently. For details, see “About UMID ownership information” (page 111). Functions of UMID data The UMID data enables the followings: • Add a globally unique ID to every clip of audio-visual material. The unique ID is used to detect the material source and to link it with the original source material. • Distinguishing between original material and copied material. 00 is added to the Instance Number for original material. 110 7-3 Extended Menu • Recording based on the UTC. The UTC is used when recording the UMID. This enables uniform control of source material recorded all over the world based on the universal time code. • Calculating the date difference among source materials. The source material is recorded based on the MJD (Modified Julian Date), which enables easy calculation of date difference among source materials. Setting UMID ownership information Proceed as follows. 1 Set extended menu item 029 “STORED OWNERSHIP” to “on.” See 7-2-2 “Basic Menu Operations” (page 94) for more information about how to make this setting. 2 Set the following item. Item Contents COUNTRY Country code ORGANIZATION Organization code USER User code To change the currently selected item Hold down the STOP button, and turn the jog dial or shuttle dial. To select a different digit to be changed Turn the jog dial or shuttle dial. • There are no problems in recording or playing back audio-video signals, if ORGANIZATION is not set. USER (user code) Enter the 4-byte alphanumeric strings for user identification. The user code is registered with each organization locally. It is usually not centrally registered. When the country code is less than 4 bytes, enter the country code from the beginning of the 4 bytes and enter the space character (20h) in the remaining strings. This user code is determined by the organization. The methods used depend on the organization. Note To change the value of a digit Hold down the SHUTTLE button, and turn the jog dial or shuttle dial. 3 User code cannot be entered when no organization code has been entered. Press the SET button. About UMID ownership information COUNTRY (country code) Enter an abbreviated alphanumeric string (4-byte alphanumeric strings) according to the values defined in ISO 3166-1. There are about 240 country codes. Find your own country code on the following home page. Chapter 7 Menus Refer to ISO-3166-1: http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso3166/iso3166-1en.html When the country code is less than 4 bytes, the active part of the code will occupy the first part of the 4-bytes and the remainder must be filled with the space character (20h). Example: In the case of Japan For Japan, if the country code is JP, it is 2 bytes, if JPN, it is 3 bytes. Thus, enter the following: JP_ _ or JPN _ where _ represents a space. ORGANIZATION (organization code) Enter an abbreviated 4-byte alphanumeric string for the organization code. Notes • Organization codes must be acquired by applying to the SMPTE registration office. When no organization code has been acquired, it is forbidden to enter an arbitrary string. As a rule, the code “00” must be entered. Freelance operators who do not belong to an origination should enter “~.” 7-3 Extended Menu 111 7-4 Maintenance Menu 7-4-1 Items in the Maintenance Menu The following tables show the items in the maintenance menu. • Item names are the names which appear in the video panel, and on an external monitor to which the output of the VIDEO OUT 2 (SUPER)/SDI OUT (SUPER) connector is input. • The values in the Settings columns are the values which appear in the time data display section.

Notice Concerning Software Governed by the GNU GPL/LGPL This product includes software to which the GNU General Public License (“GPL”) or GNU Lesser General Public License (“LGPL”) applies. Under the terms of the GPL/LGPL, of which a copy is attached, you have the right to obtain, modify, and distribute copies of the source code of this software.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2, June 1991 Copyright © 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it. Appendixes For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software. Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors’ reputations. Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all. The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 135 GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.) Appendixes These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. 3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following: 136 Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or, c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.) The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License. Appendixes 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 137 This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY 11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,REPAIR OR CORRECTION. Appendixes 12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms. To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright © This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. 138 Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode: Gnomovision version 69, Copyright © year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type ‘show w’. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type ‘show c’ for details. The hypothetical commands ‘show w’ and ‘show c’ should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than ‘show w’ and ‘show c’, they could even be mouseclicks or menu items-whatever suits your program. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program ‘Gnomovision’ (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker. , 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Library General Public License instead of this License. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE Version 2.1, February 1999 Copyright © 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed. [This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.] Appendixes Preamble The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software-to make sure the software is free for all its users. This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages-typically libraries-of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below. When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things. To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it. Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 139 For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights. We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library. To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author’s reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others. Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license. Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs. When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library. We call this license the “Lesser” General Public License because it does Less to protect the user’s freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing nonfree programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances. For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License. In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system. Appendixes Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users’ freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run. GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION 0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”. A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables. 140 Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modification”.) “Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library. Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does. 1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions: a) The modified work must itself be a software library. b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change. c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. Appendixes (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.) These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License. Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 141 3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices. Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library. 4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange. If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code. 5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a “work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License. However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables. When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law. If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself. Appendixes 6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer’s own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things: a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable “work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable 142 Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.) b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with. c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution. d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place. e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy. For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute. 7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things: a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above. b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work. Appendixes 8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it. 10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License. 11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 143 to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally. NO WARRANTY Appendixes 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. 144 Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License). To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the “copyright” line and a pointer to where the full notice is found. Copyright © This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details. You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a “copyright disclaimer” for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names: Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library ‘Frob’ (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker. , 1 April 1990 Ty Coon, President of Vice That’s all there is to it!

Notice Concerning the Software License of This Unit 147 MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License This product is licensed under the MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License. For the personal and non-commercial use of a consumer for (i) encoding video in compliance with the MPEG-4 Visual Standard (“MPEG-4 Video”) and/or (ii) decoding MPEG-4 Video that was encoded by a consumer engaged in a personal and non-commercial activity and/or was obtained from a video provider licensed by MPEG LA to provide MPEG-4 Video. No license is granted or shall be implied for any other use. Additional information including that relating to promotional, internal and commercial uses and licensing may be obtained from MPEG LA, LLC. See http://www.mpegla.com Appendixes 148 MPEG-4 Visual Patent Portfolio License Glossary AES/EBU A standard established jointly by the AES (Audio Engineering Society) and EBU (European Broadcasting Union) for serial transmission of digital audio. Two channels of audio can be transmitted via a single connector. Clip A recording unit. Clips are created every time recording starts and stops. Clip list A list of locations in the material recorded on the disc, arranged in any order. Clips lists can be created with the scene selection function of this unit, and with the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software. Color subcarrier In a composite video signal, a signal superimposed upon the picture (luminance) information for the purpose of conveying the associated color information. Color and saturation information is conveyed by the phase and amplitude of the color subcarrier. Also called subcarrier. Composite video signal A video signal in which luminance and chrominance are combined along with timing reference “sync” information to make composite video. E-E mode Electric-to-Electric mode. When you operate a VDR in E-E mode, input video and/or audio signals pass Essence mark A type of metadata that may be set for a specified frame. For more efficient searches, XDCAM equipment records essence marks as part of Non-RealTime metadata, and uses them to display thumbnails. i.LINK Another name for the IEEE13941995 standards and their revisions. XDCAM uses the i.LINK interface to transfer DV streams by the AV/C protocol, and to read and write MPEG IMX and DVCAM data files by FAM (file access mode). Metadata Information about the properties of video and audio content. XDCAM records metadata such as UMIDs and essence marks, and the supplied PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software can be used to record information such as titles and comments. MXF Material eXchange Format. A file exchange format developed by the Pro-MPEG Forum. Equipment from different manufacturers can exchange files in this format. Non-audio General term for audio signals other than linear PCM, such as Dolby E 1) and Dolby Digital (AC-3).1) XDCAM can record non-audio as an input signal. 1) Dolby is a trademark of Dolby Laboratories. Non-drop-frame mode A mode of advancing time code which ignores the difference in frame values between real time and the time code. Using this mode produces a difference of approximately 86 seconds per day between real time and time code, which causes problems when editing programs in units of seconds using the number of frames as a reference. Proxy AV data Low-resolution data with a video bandwidth of 1.5 Mbps and an audio bandwidth of 64 kbps per channel. This unit records proxy AV data automatically whenever highresolution MPEG IMX or DVCAM data is recorded. Reference video signal A video signal that contains a sync signal or sync and burst signals, used as a reference for synchronization of video equipment. SDI Serial Digital Interface. An interface standardized as SMPTE 259M which enables the transmission of an uncompressed digital component stream. S/N Signal-to-Noise ratio. The relation of the strength of the desired signal to the accompanying electronic interference, the noise. If S/N is high, sounds are reproduced with less noise and pictures are reproduced clearly without snow. SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol. XDCAM uses this protocol to monitor equipment operating status via network connectors. Sub clip One of the sections which make up a clip list. A sub clip may be part of a clip or an entire clip. Thumbnail image A reduced still picture of video for display on a GUI screen. XDCAM creates thumbnail images from proxy video, and displays them as index pictures on GUI screens. Appendixes Drop frame mode SMPTE time code runs at 30 frames/ second, while the NTSC color television system runs at about 29.97 frames/second. Drop frame mode adjusts the running of time code to eliminate the discrepancy between time code value and actual time by dropping two frames from the time code value at the beginning of each minute except every tenth minute. through electric circuits only and then come out from the output connectors, without passing through electromagnetic conversion circuits such as recording heads. Time code A digitally encoded signal which is recorded with video data to identify each frame of the video by hour, minute, second and frame number. SMPTE time code is applied to NTSC system, and EBU time code to PAL and SECAM systems. Glossary 149 UMID Unique Material Identifier. A standard (SMPTE 330M) for video and audio metadata. The Basic section of a UMID contains a globally unique number and a material number for the identification of recorded material. An optional section called the “Source Pack” contains information such as the time and location of recording. A UMID with the Basic section only is called a Basic UMID. A UMID with the Source Pack is called an Extended UMID. User bits A total of 32 bits are provided in the time code which the user can use to record such information as date, reel number, or scene number on video tape. Also called user's bits.
