Overview

Features of This System

The Sony DFS-700/700P DME Switcher is a Digital

Multi Effects system, offering high-performance

effects at high image quality. The system consists of a

processor unit and control panel.

Support for fully digital component

systems with SDI inputs and outputs

This system provides SDI interfaces as standard

equipment. This allows it to be incorporated in fully

digital linear editing systems using DVCAM-series,

Betacam SX-series, and other digital VCRs.

Advanced special effects

This system is equipped with advanced special effects,

including trail, lighting effects, ripple, swirl, and

explosion.

Installing the optional BKDF-711 board adds a second

DME channel, and the optional BKDF-712 board

enables 3D mapping effects to be used.

For details of option boards, see page 1-3.

Support for wide range of input/output

signal formats

•There are eight inputs as standard (VIDEO INPUT 1

to 8).

VIDEO INPUT 1 to 4: SDI (serial digital interface)

signals

VIDEO INPUT 5 to 8: analog component signals.

VIDEO INPUT 8 can also be used as an analog

RGB signal input.

Installing the optional BKDF-701 board allows all

eight inputs to be used as either SDI or analog

component inputs.

Installing the optional BKDF-702/702P board allows

four inputs to be used as either Y/C (S-video) or

analog composite inputs.

For details of option boards, see page 1-3.

•The standard outputs are two each of SDI, analog

component, analog composite, and Y/C, for a total of

eight outputs.

Comprehensive title key functions

Luminance keys, chroma keys, and downstream keys

are all provided as standard functions.

Chapter 1 Overview

Color correction function

A YUV color correction function is provided for white

balance adjustment and general color adjustment.

User program effect and snapshot

function

•User program effects: This system has a large

number of built-in effects, but also allows the user to

create original effects, and save them in memory, for

execution in the same way as the built-in effects. Up

to twenty user program effect patterns, both linear

and nonlinear, can be saved.

•Snapshot function: The processor unit includes

snapshot registers 0 to 99, each of which can hold a

snapshot of the control panel settings. These can then

be recalled as required.

Aspect ratio selection

In the setup menu it is possible to select either 4:3 or

16:9 as the screen aspect ratio.

Easy operation for live broadcasting

The following features make this system suitable for

live broadcasting from CATV studios and so on.

•Fully-equipped control panel offers easy operability

for signal selection and transition setting.

•Parallel tally output and preview output supplied as

standard

Interfacing with editors

This system is equipped with I/O interfaces for two

sets of control signals, allowing operation together

with various editing control units.

•Nine-pin interface connector (one input/output):

for A/B roll editing (two players, one recorder)

together with a PVE-500, BVE-2000 series, or other

editing control unit

•GPI (General Purpose Interface) and trigger

signal connectors (two inputs): for control from

external equipment not fitted with the 9-pin interface

This system also supports the background through

mode. If connected to a recorder VCR with a preread

function, A/B roll editing with a minimum of two

VCRs is possible. (In background through mode, the

delay to the signal selected on the background bus of

this system is 4H. Note that there are restrictions on

the effect patterns that can be used for preread editing.)

External synchronizing connectors for

higher editing precision

The system is provided with black burst outputs for

synchronizing other connected devices, and a genlock

input for synchronization to an external signal. This

allows more precise editing.

Rack mounting

The processor unit can be mounted in an EIA standard

19-inch rack.

1 PGM OUT (program output) connectors

These output the final program output, that is, the

video to which effects have been applied. Connect to

VTR (recorder) and program monitor video input

connectors. The following four types of output are

provided, each with two channels (1 and 2).

SDI (BNC): Output serial digital signals (270 MHz).

COMPOSITE (BNC): Output composite video

signals.

COMPONENT (BNC): Output Betacam format

component video signals (Y, R–Y, B–Y).

S VIDEO (4-pin): Output S-video (Y/C separation)

signals.

You can use all four formats simultaneously. The same

signals are output from connectors 1 and 2.

2 VIDEO INPUT connectors

These input video camera and VTR (player) video

signals. The connectors are in four groups, as follows.

•SDI INPUT 1 to 4, (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC)

•COMPONENT 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, 8/4 (BNC)

•COMPONENT/COMPOSITE (OPTION) 5 to 8

(BNC)

•S VIDEO (OPTION) 5 to 8 (4-pin)

SDI INPUT 1 to 4, (OPTION) 5 to 8 (BNC-type)

Input serial digital signals (270 MHz).

Connectors 5 to 8 can only be used when the optional

BKDF-701 SDI and Component Input Board is

installed.

The input signals to these connectors must be

synchronized to this unit.

COMPONENT 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, 8/4 (BNC-type)

Input Betacam format component video signals.

Y: Input the luminance (Y) signal.

R–Y: Input the R–Y color difference signal.

B–Y: Input the B–Y color difference signal.

The input signals to these connectors must be

synchronized to this unit. Therefore, when inputing

from a VTR, the signal must come through a time base

corrector.

The 8/4 column of connectors can be changed to RGB

input connectors by a setup menu operation. In this

case, connect G (with sync), R, and B signals to Y, R–

Y, and B–Y respectively.

When the optional BKDF-702/702P Y/C and

Composite Input Board is installed, you can select in

the setup menu whether to use the 5/1, 6/2, 7/3, and

8/4 connectors for component inputs 5 to 8 or

component inputs 1 to 4.

COMPONENT/COMPOSITE (OPTION) 5 to 8

(BNC-type)

These connectors can be used by installing either of

the optional BKDF-701 and BKDF-702/702P boards.

When the BKDF-701 board is installed, connect

Betacam format component video signals. When the

BKDF-702/702P board is installed, connect composite

video signals. The signals can be input from a VTR

with no time base corrector. When using the BKDF-

701 to input signals from a VTR, they must come

through a time base corrector.

S VIDEO (OPTION) 5 to 8 (4-pin)

Input S-video (Y/C separation) signals. These

connectors can only be used when the optional BKDF-

702/702P board is installed. The signals can be input

from a VTR with no time base corrector.

3 EDITOR connector (9-pin)

Use this connector when controlling this unit with an

editor (PVE-500, BVE-2000 series, or other editing

control unit). Using an optional 9-pin remote control

cable, connect to the 9-pin control connector of the

editor.

4 PANEL connector (25-pin)

With the supplied 25-pin control cable, connect to the

25-pin connector of the control panel.

5 TALLY connector (25-pin)

Tally signals are output from this connector when the

signal input to a VIDEO INPUT connector is selected

on the control panel. Connect to the input signal

sources (video cameras etc.). The outputs are relay

contact signals, with a capacity of 200 mA / 30 V.

6 TERMINAL connector (USB type B)

the downstream key inserted.

PVW OUT: The signal output is the same as the

program output after completion of the effect

transition. The title area can also be shown.

KEY OUT: This outputs a key signal corresponding

to the shape of a selected effect. Use it as the key

source input to another device.

8 PVW (preview) connector (BNC-type)

This is an analog composite preview output. The signal

output is the same as the program output after

completion of the effect transition. It is not possible to

include the title area.

9 BLACK BURST OUT 1 to 3 connectors (BNC-

type)

These output the black burst signals generated by the

synchronizing signal generator internal to this unit.

When an external synchronizing signal is input to the

REF. VIDEO IN connectors, the black burst signal

output is locked to the external synchronizing signal.

Use the output from these connectors as a reference

synchronizing signal when synchronizing input signal

sources (character generators, etc.), or when

synchronizing this unit with a VTR or editor to

improve the precision of editing.

q; DSK (downstream keyer) KEY IN connectors

(BNC-type) and 75 Ω terminator switch

Input the key source signal for a downstream key,

from a character generator or other device.

When the 75 Ω terminator switch is in the OFF

position, the connectors provide a loop-through

connection; with the key signal input to one connector,

the other provides the same key source signal to

another device. By connecting to an analog component

Y connector on this unit, you can use it as a title key

source.

When not using the loop-through output, the 75 Ω

terminatior switch must be in the ON position.

qa REF. (reference) VIDEO IN connectors (BNC-

type) and 75Ω terminator switch

When using this unit synchronized to an external

signal, input the external reference signal (black burst).

When the 75Ω terminatior switch is in the OFF

position, the connectors provide a loop-through

connection; with the reference signal input to one

connector, the other provides the same reference signal

for another device. When not using the loop-through

output, the 75Ω terminatior switch must be in the ON

position.

qs GPI/T (GPI/trigger) 1 and 2 connectors (BNC-

type)

Input external trigger signals. These are used when

controlling editing with GPI signals or an editor (BVE-

600).

qd U (ground) terminal

Connect this to ground as required.

qf - AC IN connector

With the supplied power cord, connect to the AC

supply.

Selecting an Effect

This section describes the types of effects you can use on this system, and

how to select an effect.

Types of Effect

The DFS-700/700P has more than 450 built-in effect patterns provided as

standard.

Each pattern is identified by a number, and the patterns are grouped

together under headings such as “wipe” and “picture-in-picture”.

Transition effects and animation effects

Effects are broadly divided into transition effects and animation effects.

Transition effects: in these effects the background image is completely

replaced by the foreground image. When the effect completes, the

colors in which the BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND bus

buttons are lit become the reverse of those before the effect.

Animation effects: in these effects, for example, the foreground image is

inserted in the background image, and moved around. The foreground

image does not completely replace the background image, and the

colors in which the BACKGROUND and FOREGROUND bus

buttons are lit stay the same.

For the differences between transition and animation effects, see the section

“Background Image and Foreground Image” (page 3-12).

Modifications to effects

Depending on the effect pattern, the following modifications can be added.

•You can add a border to the boundary between the background image and

foreground image, or blur the boundary.

•You can change the pattern position and size.

For details of the modifications that can be applied to the effect patterns, see the

section “Effect Pattern Variant Forms and Decorations” (page A-22).

•You can change a pattern by changing its parameters. (Effects which can

be changed by setting parameters are referred to as “user modifiable

effects”.)

close, and covers the background. When the door is completely closed, the

foreground fills the screen.

The image rotates about a vertical axis as though a panel with the

background on one side. When the panel reaches 90 degrees to the plane of

the screen, the foreground image appears on the other side, and completely

fills the screen when the transition ends.
