Introduction

This manual is the User’s Guide for the MVS-8000/8000SF Multi Format Switcher system. The MVS-8000 and MVS-8000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, but are otherwise functionally identical. This manual refers to these generically as the “MVS-8000 system,” and describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-8000 series of center control panels.
The User’s Guide for this system comprises two volumes.
Contents of Volume 1
Overview of functions of the MVS-8000 system, and basic switcher operations including transitions, keys, and wipes.
Contents of Volume 2
DME effects, snapshots, keyframes, and various operations such as setup which affect the overall system.
Devices and system nomenclature
In this manual, when discussing the principal components of the MVS-8000 system, in place of the formal product names, abbreviated names characterizing the functions and features are sometimes used. When distinctions between system configurations must be drawn, the terms in the following table are used.

Features of the MVS-8000 Multi Format Switcher System

Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions
The MVS-8000 Multi Format Switcher system boasts extensible high performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal features of this system.
System configuration flexibility
Multiformat support
This system supports both HDTV and SDTV signal formats. The format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation. The MVS­8000G supports either the HDTV or SDTV signal format, depending on the software option selection.
Extensible system configuration
By suitable combination of options, the switcher can be configured with various inputs and outputs, and different numbers of M/E banks. The system offers the flexibility to change and expand as required. You can connect up to two MVE-8000/8000A or MVE-9000 extensible DME processors, each of which provides any number from one to four channels, for a maximum of eight channels of DME functionality.
Powerful external device interfaces
By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a large system can be built. From the control panel, it is also possible to operate other equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders.
Powerful tally system
The complete system including routing switcher provides an all-inclusive tally system. The system can be adapted to different applications and settings, using multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording tallies.
Comprehensive video manipulation
M/E banks
Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped with four keyers, and each keyer is capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent key transitions separate from the background transitions. The four keys can be freely combined, to carry out four different program outputs.

Powerful frame memory functions
In an MVS-8000 system, an HDTV system can hold 58 still image frames (88 frames in 720P/59.94 format), and an SDTV system can store 222 frames in memory, while up to eight frames can be recalled and used simultaneously. In an MVS-8000A system and MVS-8000G system, an HDTV system can hold approximately 1,000 still image frames or 2,000 frames in 720P/59.94 format, and an SDTV system can hold approximately 5,000 frames in 480i/
59.94 format or 4,000 frames in 576i/50 format in memory, and up to eight frames can be recalled and used simultaneously.
Link operation with DME
By means of the dedicated DME interface, a range of DME functions including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher functions. By connecting two MVE-8000/8000A or MVE-9000 units, in any combination, you can interface to a maximum of eight DME channels. Note that the MVE-8000A and MVE-9000 can also be used with this system by connecting through an SDI interface.
Designed for use in a live broadcasting environment
Flexible control panel layout
Because of its modular design, the various sections of the control panel can be laid out as required. This allows a flexible layout appropriate to the system operation.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions
High-performance user interface
The menu control block provides a large color LCD panel, with rapid touch­panel menu selection. The source name displays and buttons in the Flexi Pad
TM
and shotbox control blocks have color backlit LCD displays. The signal names, and graphical representations of the patterns associated with buttons provide intuitive feedback, and allow the immediate decisions that are required in a live operating environment.

Signal Selection

You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. The number of buttons in each cross-point row may be 16, 24, or 32, but here the description is of the 32-button case as an example.

Basics of Signal Selection

Each of the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block). These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number. The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the cross­point button to which is assigned the desired signal.
Reentry buttons
To use the output of one M/E bank as background input to another bank, use the reentry buttons [M/E1], [M/E2], and [M/E3] (on the auxiliary bus control block, [M/E1], [M/E2], [M/E3], and [PGM]) in the cross-point control block of the destination bank. For example, to feed the output from the M/E-1 bank as the background B input to M/E-2, in the M/E-2 cross-point control block, press the [M/E1] button in the background B row.

Bus Selection

Each row of 32 cross-point buttons is shared by multiple buses. For example, in the M/E-1 bank, the key 1 row of buttons can be assigned either to the key 1 bus or to the key 3 bus. The [KEY3] button switches between these two assignments. To assign a bus to the cross-point buttons in the auxiliary bus control block, press one of the AUX delegation buttons to select the bus.

a) Dual background bus mode (see below) can be selected.
Dual background bus mode
In this mode, the shifted signal on the background A row can be selected on the key 1 row, and the shifted signal on the background B row can be selected on the key 2 row. To switch this mode on and off, it is necessary to assign this function to the [PRE MCRO] button in the cross-point control block.
For details of the assignment operation, see “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
Note
For the following switcher banks, dual background bus mode is not available.
• When set to “Dual M/E Assign”
• When M/E Config is set to “DSK”

Signal Assignment and Selection

Assigning signals to buttons
Each of the 32 cross-point buttons and reentry buttons has a corresponding button number, to which you assign a signal. In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors (1 to 34 connectors for the MVS-8000SF/8000ASF/8000GSF) on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher. Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions
For details of Setup menu operations, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).
