Overview
Features
The Sony Remote Camera Operating Switcher is a compact switcher,
incorporating functions for controlling up to seven BRC-series cameras, and
video switching functions that support HD signals.
Flexible input/output configuration
Optional interface boards can be installed in the switcher, and a combination of
these interface boards allows you to accept various inputs according to your
requirements. An input of DVI signal and eight inputs of SDI signal, up to nine
inputs in total, can be enabled.
The switcher is equipped with four SDI outputs of three channels and one DVI
output as standard. Installing the optional interface board provides one
additional DVI output, allowing you to project different video sources on two
monitors or projectors. This provides wider usage of the switcher for various
events and presentations.

PIP video
The structure of the images to be switched or composed
by video switching is shown above.
For the detailed operations, see Chapter 4 “Switching
Operation.”
Background video
The background video is an image before you apply an
effect such as wipe and mix. This can also be expressed
as an image that disappears as the effect progresses.
Select the background video with PGM select buttons 1
to 12.
Foreground video
The foreground video is an image to be inserted by
applying an effect such as wipe or mix. This can also be
expressed as an image that appears as the effect
progresses and is switched with the background video.
Select the foreground video with NEXT select buttons 1
to 12 and perform the effect, using the transition lever or
the AUTO TRANS button.
PIP (Picture-in-Picture) video
The PIP video is an image to be inserted over a
background video (and a foreground video while the
effect is being applied).
Select the PIP video by pressing the PIP button and DSK/
AUX 1 to 12 buttons. To compose the PIP video, press
the PIP AUTO button.
DSK FILL (Downstream key fill) video
The DSK FILL video is an image to be composed actually
by DSK composition.

F
Select the DSK FILL video by pressing the DSK button
and DSK/AUX 1 to 12 buttons. To compose the DSK
FILL video, press the DSK AUTO button.
DSK SOURCE (Downstream key source) video
The DSK SOURCE video is an image to determine the
area of a DSK FILL video to be composed. This is also
referred to as a “key.”
There are three types of keys:
• Luminance key that cuts a key portion of a DSK FILL
video using a key signal (DSK SOURCE) created by a
specific brightness of the DSK FILL video.
• Chroma key that cuts a key portion of a DSK FILL
video using a key signal (DSK SOURCE) created by a
specific color of the DSK FILL video.
• Split function that cuts a key portion of a DSK FILL
video using a key signal created by a specific brightness
of the DSK SOURCE video selected separated from the
DSK FILL video.
Note
The DSK FILL video and the DSK SOURCE video are
identical for the luminance key and chroma key.
Program video
The program video is an image output from the switcher
after switching or composition was applied.

x Functions in CAM mode
Use the joystick for panning, tilting and zooming
operations of the camera selected with the CAMERA
button in the CAMERA/DSK/AUX bus section.
When you incline the joystick left or right, the camera
pans. When you incline it forward or backward, the camera
tilts. The pan/tilt speed changes according to the angle of
the inclination.
When you turn the dial on the upper part of the joystick
clockwise, the subject becomes larger (zoom in). When
you turn it counterclockwise, the subject becomes smaller
(zoom out).
