Chapter 1 Overview

Features of the DVS-7300/7350
I/O Expansion System

The DVS-7300/7350 I/O expansion system comprises a DVS-7300/7350
system centered on a DVS-7000A, in combination with a DVS-V6464M or
HDS-X3600 Digital Video Routing Switcher. The primary inputs, signal
matrix, and so on of the DVS-7000A are replaced by the DVS-V6464M or
HDS-X3600, thus increasing the number of inputs and outputs.

Features

Support for large-scale live systems

Wide range of inputs and outputs

This system supports a wide range of inputs and outputs, including 60
primary inputs, 28 auxiliary outputs, and five assignable outputs. It is ideal
for use in a large outside broadcast vans and large live productions using
substantial numbers of cameras, VTR materials, and monitor feeds.

Source assignment at the video and key levels

The source assignment to cross-point button selections introduces the concept
of video level and key level; by means of a virtual level of key source
assignment to buttons, more efficient source assignment is possible. The
AUTO SELECT function (linking the video source and key source) also
follows these settings.

Full range of preview functions (AUTO PVW2, SHOW KEY)

When an M/E PVW (mix/effect preview) or PST (preset) is selected on the
EDIT PVW (edit preview) bus, an automatic output switch to the M/E PGM
or M/E PVW signal can be made according to the on-air status of the M/E or
crosspoint selections on the PGM and PST buses (AUTO PVW2). Also, with
a simple button operation the key source selected on an M/E keyer can be
output to EDIT PVW (SHOW KEY function).

Full-featured video effects

M/E banks

There are three M/E banks, each with equivalent functionality. Each bank
includes two keyers which can be operated independently and
simultaneously.
The output from any M/E bank can be input as a background signal to any
other, for further keying and other operations.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-7

Features of the DVS-7300/7350 I/O Expansion System

PGM/PST bank (operation coupled to a DMK-7000)

In a DVS-7350 I/O expansion system, the three M/E banks are supplemented
by a PGM/PST bank, for manipulating the final program output from the
switcher. Using the PGM/PST bank, you can insert a total of four
downstream keys into the final background output. These operations are
controlled from the switcher control panel, but the processing is carried out
by a DMK-7000 Digital Multi Keyer connected to the system.

In a DVS-7300 I/O expansion system, by connecting a DMK-7000, and
equipping the control panel with a BKDS-7032 DSK Control Panel Unit, you
can again control the insertion of a maximum of four downstream keys.

In this case, the four downstream keyers are equipped with the same
functions, including key source selection, video and key source linking, key
memory, as the M/E keyers. Even though a separate unit, there is integral
operation with the switcher.

DME wipes (operation coupled to a DME)

By connecting a DME-7000 or other Digital Multi Effects unit, you can use
the control panel to carry out DME wipes, using DME effects (the “DME
LINK™” function).

System configuration flexibility

Wide range of options

In addition to the two basic control panel types, that is, 3.5-M/E and 3-M/E
panels, there is a wide range of options, allowing just the features required to
be installed in a system.

Support for D1 and D2 formats

Except for some options, both D1 (component) and D2 (composite) signal
formats are supported. A simple control panel operation switches between
the D1 and D2 selections, and also in the case of D1 format between 525- and
625-line systems.

Convenient interfaces with external equipment

Using the DVS-7300/7350 I/O expansion system along with the DVS­V6464M Routing Switcher via the BKDS-7700 Tally Interface Unit, you can
make up a large-scale switcher system.
Connecting the BVE-9100 Editing Control Unit to your system will allow
you to carry out such advanced editing operations as ISR (Intelligent Status
Reporting) system and EDL (Edit Decision List ) management.

1-8

Chapter 1 Overview

The system is provided with VTR control for controlling external devices
such as VTRs, and a PERIPHERAL II timeline.

Powerful remote control functions

You can connect the BKDS-2010 Control Panel to the DVS-7000A and use it
as a separate panel exclusively for the M/E banks.
For key adjustment operations such as chroma key adjustment, the BKDS­7060 Keyer Remote Control Panel is available.You can use the dedicated
panel connected to the DVS-7000A to remote-control the auxiliary bus and
Shot Box operations.

Operation adapted to live operation

The DVS-7300/7350 I/O expansion system control panel is designed to
provide the necessary rapid operability for the live broadcast environment.

Combined use of menu settings and button operation

All detailed settings for video processing are carried out in menus, but for
some more frequently used operations you can carry out the selections and
adjustments by direct button operations on the control panel. In particular,
clip, gain, density and other basic parameter settings can be controlled using
the three knobs provided on each M/E bank, quite independently of the
currently accessed menu.

Snapshot function

The DVS-7300/7350 I/O expansion system has a comprehensive snapshot
function, which allows a collection of settings for a particular effect to be
saved in memory, and recalled as required for an instant return to the settings.
Snapshots can be saved from memory to floppy disk, and reloaded into the
system when required.

Role of the DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600 as an I/O
Expansion Unit

In this system, the DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600 is included as a part of the
switcher system, providing the primary inputs, cross-point switching, source
selecting when the DMK-7000 is connected, and auxiliary bus expansion
functions. Thus the DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600 serves as a dedicated unit
for expanding the inputs and outputs. It cannot also be used for its standard
function as a routing switcher. In particular, the S-BUS interface is dedicated
as the interface to the DVS-7000A. If you attempt to use an S-BUS interface
to another routing switcher system, this system will no longer operate
correctly.

Input and Output Signals to the DVS-7300/7350 I/O
Expansion System

The principal input/output signal names and the devices and connector names
are shown in the following table.

Signal names Device Connector names

Primary inputs 1 to 60 DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600 INPUT 1 to 60
Auxiliary outputs 1 to 8 DVS-7000A AUX BUS OUTPUT 1 to 8
Auxiliary outputs 9 to 28 DVS-V6464M or HDS-X3600 OUTPUT 45 to 64
Assignable outputs 1 to 5 DVS-7000A AUX BUS OUTPUT 9 to 13

The signal names and connector names correspond one-to-one. For example, the signal name
“Primary input 1” corresponds to the connector named “INPUT 1.”

For other inputs and outputs, refer to the Operation Manual for the relevant device.

Features of the DVS-7300/7350 I/O Expansion System

Principal Functions

Video level and key level

The DVS-7300/7350 I/O expansion system has 60 primary inputs, and
among these will be paired video (key fill) and key (key source) signals,
including signals from CGs, DMEs, and so on. A key signal is principally
used only for keying, and is not normally selected on a background bus. In
this system, the key signal can be associated with a particular video signal,
and the two can be handled together by a single cross-point button
assignment, thus making button assignments more efficient.
This setting is carried out in the XPT ASSIGN menu, and after assigning a
video and key signal pair to a cross-point button, it is also applied to the
“AUTO SELECT” function.

For details of the video level and key level settings, see the section “Carrying
out setup relating to assigning input signals to the cross-point buttons (XPT
ASSIGN menu)” (page 14-62).

The signal assigned to the “key level” of a particular cross-point button
number can only be selected on certain buses . The following describes the
buses on which key signals can be selected, and how to select a required key
signal on the buses.

1-16

Key source buses

Hold down the SPLIT button in the keyer control section, and select any key
signal on the KEY bus of this keyer.
For a DSK, in the DSK FILL/SOURCE menu hold down the SPLIT button
and select any key signal in the AUX bus control section.

AUX buses 1 to 28, EDIT PVW bus, FM1/FM2 buses, ME UTIL bus

Hold down the V/K button in the AUX bus control section, and select any
key signal. When selecting a key signal with the BKDS-7080/7081 (AUX
BUS REMOTE PANEL), similarly hold down the V/K button and select any
key signal.

Note

On the M/E BKGD-A/B buses and KEY FILL buses, the PGM/PST buses
and the DSK FILL buses, it is not possible to select the signal assigned to the
key level.

Chapter 1 Overview

Auxiliary (AUX) buses

There are two sets of auxiliary buses: auxiliary buses 1 to 8 output from the
DVS-7000A, and auxiliary buses 9 to 28 output from the DVS-V6464M or
HDS-X3600. Note the following characteristics of these two sets.

Auxiliary buses 1 to 8

Any signal, including switcher internal signals, can be output.
All signals are output with a 1H delay from the reference signal. (The DVS­7000A and DMK-7000 output signals are all at the same timing.)

Auxiliary buses 9 to 28

The program outputs (M/E1 PGM, M/E2 PGM, M/E3 PGM, and FINAL
PGM) and primary inputs 1 to 60 can be output.
All signals are output depending on the input timing, without internal process
delay (1H).
If you select an internal signal on a DVS-7000A assignable output or
auxiliary bus 1 to 8, and return it to a primary input, then an internal signal
can also be selected on auxiliary buses 9 to 28. In this case, however, the
output is delayed by 1H with respect to other primary inputs.
(Since the program output from the DVS-7000A or DMK-7000 is rerouted
through the routing switcher, there is a 1H delay in the output timing.)

Switch preview and AUTO PVW2 (auto preview 2) functions

This system provides a switchable preview on the EDIT PVW bus. By setting
the programmable buttons in the DSK control section to PVW SELECT, you
can easily switch the EDIT PVW output from among the M/E1 PVW, M/E2
PVW, M/E3 PVW, EXT(DIRECT IN:FINAL PVW), and PST (AUTO
PVW2).
With the auto preview 2 function, preview outputs are automatically switched
between the PGM and PVW buses to give an appropriate monitor signal
according to whether the M/E is on air or not. When AUTO PVW2 in the
OUTPUT ASSIGN setup menu is set to EDPV, this applies to the EDIT
PVW bus only; if it is set to ALL, this applies to the EDIT PVW, AUX 1 to
8, and ASSIGN OUT1 to 5 buses.

For details, see page 14-33.

Chapter 1 Overview

1-17

Features of the DVS-7300/7350 I/O Expansion System

Show key function

By means of the show key function you can preview the key source signal to
an M/E keyer with a simple button operation. Holding down the keyer
selection button in the M/E keyer control section for at least one second
outputs the key source signal from the keyer to EDIT PVW for a
predetermined period.
There are two settings of the function, so that the show key output appears on
the EDIT PVW only, or also on auxiliary buses 1 to 8 and ASSIGN OUT1 to

5.

Peripheral 2 timeline

For all of the devices, with a device ID of 0 to 23, valid in the PERIPHERAL
II protocol, LEARN, RECALL, and TRIGGER commands can be
individually assigned on the timeline, and executed as effects. By using a
device controller such as DNF CONTROLS equipped with a PERIPHERAL
II interface, you can carry out timeline control on a VTR, disk recorder, MD
player, or other device. At the same time it is possible to assign PANEL GPI
OUT to the timeline.
