Overview
Features of This System
Chapter 1
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.
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.
For details of option boards, see page 1-3.
Comprehensive title key functions
Luminance keys, chroma keys, and downstream keys
are all provided as standard functions.
Chapter 1 Overview 1-1
Page 8
Features of This System
Color correction function
A YUV color correction function is provided for white
balance adjustment and general color adjustment.
Chapter 1 Overview
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
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.
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
Rack mounting
The processor unit can be mounted in an EIA standard
19-inch rack.

The title key function allows you to superimpose
characters or graphics by cutting out part of the
foreground video with a key source signal, and
applying the effect to the background video.
There are two ways of using the key source signal: as a

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 BKDF701 to input signals from a VTR, they must come
through a time base corrector.

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.
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.

Outputs serial digital signals (270 MHz). Using the
setup menu, you can select the output from the
following three signals.
CLEAN OUT: The program output signal, without
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 (BNCtype)
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.
qa REF. (reference) VIDEO IN connectors (BNCtype) 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 (BNCtype)
Input external trigger signals. These are used when
controlling editing with GPI signals or an editor (BVE-
600).

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.

Demonstration
Chapter 3 Basic Operation
The DFS-700/700P is equipped with a demonstration function, which
automatically plays back one hundred effects stored in ROM in the
processor unit.
The effects (which by factory default are snapshots 0 to 99) have been
chosen to demonstrate the features of the DFS-700/700P as effectively as
possible.
For maximum effect, the demonstration function uses the signals
connected to VIDEO INPUT connectors 1 and 2, and the internal video
signal.

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
Animation effects: in these effects, for example, the foreground image is
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.
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.
Chapter 3 Basic Operation
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”.)

Modifying the Boundary — Border, Soft Edge,
Beveled Edge, and Crop
You can apply a border to the boundary between the foreground image and
background image, or mask unwanted parts of the image.
There are four effects for modifying the boundary, as follows. You can use
all four simultaneously.
Border: apply a border to the image boundary.
Soft edge: blur the image boundary.
Beveled edge: apply a bevel to the image boundary.
Crop: adjust the image boundary position, to eliminate unwanted parts.
(For picture-in-picture and other effects in which a reduced image is
used, reduce noise on the periphery of the image.)
Note
Depending on the effect pattern, you may not be able to apply the above
effects. For details, see the section “Effect Pattern Variant Forms and

Inserting Characters and Graphics (1) — Title Key
You can insert (or superimpose) text and graphics into the background
image while applying effects. You can use either a luminance key or a
chroma key for this insertion.
Luminance Key
In a luminance key, a certain luminance level in the foreground image is
used as the threshold for creating the key signal, and the corresponding
part of the foreground image is inserted into the background image.
Normally the foreground image is on a black background, consisting of
bright text to be inserted in the background image.
Background image
Composite image formed by
luminance keying (program output)
Foreground image
Two-channel luminance keying
With the optional BKDF-711 2nd Channel DME Board installed, you can
also use a second luminance key channel.
When using two luminance keys, you must make both title 1 and title 2
settings in the TITLE section of the menu control section. Note that to
select the foreground signal used for the second luminance key, in the
delegation section press the FRGD 2 button, turning it on, then select the
desired video signal with one of the AUXILIARY buttons.

Chroma Keying
In chroma keying, a key signal is created based on a specific reference
color in the foreground image, and used to replace the corresponding parts
of the foreground image by the background image. Normally, the
foreground image is created with a plain blue background, which is then
replaced by the background image.
Background image Foreground image
Chapter 3 Basic Operation
Composite image formed by chroma
keying (program output)
In this system, you can use either of the following methods to carry out
chroma keying.
•Auto chroma keying
You point the cursor at part of the background, thus specifying the keying
color. This is the quick and easy way to make a composite image.
•Manual chroma keying
You specify the keying color by manual adjustment. This allows you
finer control than with auto chroma keying.
By starting with auto chroma keying, then using manual chroma key
adjustments as required, you can get the optimum composite image
efficiently.
Two-channel chroma keying
With the optional BKDF-711 2nd Channel DME Board installed, you can
use a second chroma key channel.
To use two chroma key channels, set both title 1 and title 2 in the TITLE
section of the menu control section. To select the foreground image used
for the second chroma key channel, press the FRGD 2 button in the
delegation section, turning it on, then with one of the AUXILIARY
buttons select the desired video signal.

Inserting Characters and Graphics (1) — Title Key
Adjusting the hue range for chroma keying (the “angle” setting)
If there are fluctuations in the background color in the foreground image, it
may not be immediately possible to key the background image into the
whole of the desired background. In this case, you can correct this by
increasing the range of hues (the “angle” setting) used for chroma keying.
(This means using a wider-angled sector of the hue circle.)
Angle setting (Example: using a blue background color)
•Increasing the angle increases the range of hues replaced by the
background image, including shades of cyan and magenta.
•Decreasing the angle decreases the range of hues replaced by the
background image, restricting it to closely-matching blues.
Note
If the foreground image includes a color close to the “background” color in
a position not intended to be replaced by the background image, then if
Chapter 3 Basic Operation
you make the hue range too wide this part will also be filled by the
background image (key fill).
Eliminating bleeding of colors into the edge of the inserted image (color cancel function)
In a chroma key composite image, on the boundary of the inserted image,
the “background” keying color in the foreground image (usually blue)
tends to bleed into the boundary with the background image. In this case,
by replacing the keying color in the composite image by another color (for
example gray), the boundary is made to stand out less. This function is
called “color cancel”.
To use the color cancel function, use the following procedure.
1 In the TITLE section of the menu control section, press the CRK
button, turning it on, and display page 2 of the chroma key menu.
The following example appears when the CRK button in column 1 is

Using the fader lever
Fader lever
AUTO TRANS button
By moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other at any
desired speed, you can manually control the transition.
The transition indicator on the left of the fader lever lights progressively
corresponding to the status of the transition. When the transition
completes, the transition indicator goes completely off.
For an effect in which the image switches like a cut, the transition occurs
when the fader lever is in the center position.
Note
After powering on the system, move the fader lever once through the
whole of its travel. This will ensure that the fader lever operates correctly.
To pause the transition
Stop moving the fader lever.
3-54 Chapter 3 Basic Operation
To resume the transition
Start moving the fader lever again.
Page 81
Using the AUTO TRANS button
To execute the effect automatically at the preset transition time, press the
AUTO TRANS button, turning it on.
To pause the transition
During the transition, press the AUTO TRANS button, turning it off.
Note
If the fader lever is in an intermediate position, then the transition pauses
at the corresponding position. To make sure the transition does not pause,
first move the fader lever to either end of its travel.
To resume the transition
Press the AUTO TRANS button again.
Using the fader lever and AUTO TRANS button together
You can use the AUTO TRANS button to complete a transition started and
paused with the fader lever, or in the opposite way, use the fader lever to
complete a transition started and paused with the AUTO TRANS button.
•If you resume a transition partially executed with the fader lever, using
the AUTO TRANS button, then the transition time taken is in proportion
to the setting for the entire transition. For example, if the transition time
is set to 100 frames, and you carry out the equivalent of 25 frames with
the fader lever, then press the AUTO TRANS button, the remainder of
the transition will take 75 frames.
•If you partially execute the transition with the AUTO TRANS button,
then start moving the fader lever, the transition resumes when the fader
lever reaches the corresponding intermediate position.
Note
When you carry out an auto transition by controlling the processor unit
from an external editor through the EDITOR connector, then regardless of
the fader lever position, the transition is executed in its entirety.

Executing an Effect
Checking the direction and state of progress of the transition
Whether you are carrying out the effect manually or automatically, the
transition indicator on the left of the fader lever (20 LEDs) shows the state
of progress of the transition.
When you start the transition, the indicator lights progressively in the
direction of the transition, and goes off when the transition completes.
If you pause the transition, the indicator remains on in the corresponding
position.
You can always complete a paused transition by moving the fader lever in
the direction of the unlit indicator segments.

User Program Effects
In addition to the internal effect patterns, you can also create usercustomized effect patterns. These are referred to as “user program effects.”
With standard equipment you can save a maximum of 40 effects. You use
these effect patterns in the same way as the internal patterns, using the
assigned number.
Constructing a User Program Effect
You build a user program effect from key frames, which show an outline
of the animation.
A user effect can consist of up to eight key frames, numbered from 1 to 8.
When you execute the effect, it runs through the key frames in sequence,
starting from the highest numbered, and ending on key frame 1.
Therefore, when creating the effect you save the movement in the reverse
direction (with the image selected on the foreground bus moving outside
the screen).
By pressing the REVERSE button, turning it on, you can execute the effect
in the reverse order of the created key frames. You can adjust the interval
between key frames by a menu setting.
When you execute a user program effect, the interval between key frames
is automatically interpolated using spline curves, producing a smooth
effect. You can also adjust the smoothness of the spline curves (i.e. the
movement) when executing the effect.
Chapter 4 Advanced Operations
Key frame 1 Key frame 2

Key frame 1

frame 2
If you execute a user program effect that consists of a single key frame, the
result is that the foreground image appears against the background image,
subjected only to the effect defined for key frame 1.

User Program Effects
Types of User Program Effect
There are four types of user program effects. The four types must be
registered saved in the pattern number ranges shown below.
Effect type Pattern number
Linear Transition 9000 to 9009
Animation 9100 to 9109
Nonlinear Transition 9200 to 9209
Animation 9300 to 9309
Linear: effects built from rotation, magnification, and movement of the
x-, y-, and z-axes
For details of the modification parameters, see page 4-6.
Nonlinear: modifications of the page turn, page roll, and sphere effects,
together with z-axis rotation, magnification, and movement
For details of the modification parameters, see page 4-7.
Transition effects: effects which accomplish a transition from one scene
to another. After the effect completes, the background image (B) and
foreground image (F) are interchanged.
Chapter 4 Advanced Operations
F B
Key frame 1 Key frame 2 Key frame 3 Key frame 4
Example of a transition user program effect
When you execute an effect saved as shown above in the “normal”
direction (with the REV button off), the key frames go in the sequence
from 4 to 1.
Animation effects: effects in which the foreground image (F) remains on
the background image (B). You can vary the shape of the foreground
image, or move it about the screen.

About the key frame duration
Setting the type of interpolation
The KfDur value (key frame duration) for key frame n corresponds to the
interval between key frame n and key frame n+1. Therefore, if the settings
are as follows:
Key frame 1 ... not effective
Key frame 2 ... KfDur 100
Key frame 3 ... KfDur 50
Key frame 4 ... KfDur 50
The interval between key frames 1 and 2 is twice that between the other
pairs of frames. For example, if the transition duration is set to 100 frames,
the transition will proceed as follows:
Key frame 4 t 3 ... 25 frames
Key frame 3 t 2 ... 25 frames
Key frame 2 t 1 ... 50 frames
When executing the effect, using the F1 button in the menu, you can set
the type of interpolation between key frames as follows:
Chapter 4 Advanced Operations
Lin: linear interpolation
S-Lin: S-curve interpolation
Spln: spline interpolation
V-Spln: parameterized spline interpolation
If you select V-Spln, with the F2(Tens) knob you can adjust the tension of
the spline curve in the range –100 to +100. This controls the smoothness,
with the initial value 0 and –100 giving the smoothest result.
