Features
The MVS-8000X/7000X 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.
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-8000A or MVE-9000
DME processors, to provide up to eight channels of DME
functionality. When the signal format is 1080P, you can
connect up to four MVE-8000A units.
For the MVS-7000X, by installing the optional MKS7470X/7471X DME board set, up to four channels of
DME functionality are available.
You can use a maximum of eight channels of DME
functionality in the whole switcher system.
50 format, and allows eight frames (four frames in 1080P
format) to be recalled simultaneously.
Link operation with DME
You can use a wide range of DME functions, including
DME wipes and processed key functions, as though they
were part of the standard switcher function set.
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.
High-performance user interface
The menu panel provides a large color LCD panel, with
rapid touch-panel menu selection.
The buttons in the cross-point Flexi Pad, Flexi Pad control
block, and utility/shotbox control block have LCD
displays. The functions names, status, wipe patterns, etc.
have graphical representations that provide intuitive
feedback, and aid immediate decision making required in
a live operating environment.
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 a routing switcher, can be
used to construct a 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 eight
keyers, each of which is capable not only of chroma
keying, but also independent key transitions separate from
background transitions. The eight keys can be freely
combined, to carry out four different program outputs.
Powerful frame memory functions
The frame memory can hold approximately 1000 frames in
an HD system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94
format), or approximately 5000 frames in an SD system in
480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in 576i/

You can insert one or more of the eight keys (or
downstream keys 1 to 8 on the PGM/PST bank) into the
image.
If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition
will delete the key.
A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys
Transition
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the
current video stream (appearing on the corresponding
program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a
transition.
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can change one
image on the background or on keys 1 to 8 (downstream
keys 1 to 8 in the PGM/PST bank), and also vary the
combination of these simultaneously.
Note
When the signal format is 1080P, only keys 1 to 4 can be
used.
The following are examples of basic transitions.
Changing the background
A background transition switches from the video currently
selected on the background A bus (the current video) to the
video selected on the background B bus (the new video).
In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 87), the
background always switches in the direction A bus t B
bus. When the transition completes, the cross-point
selections on the A and B buses are interchanged.

DME Wipe
•
Clip transition
•
Cut
There are two modes for carrying out a transition: auto
transitions are carried out by a button operation, and
manual transitions are carried out using the fader lever. It
is also possible to combine these two modes.
Independent key transition
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry
out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks
and PGM/PST bank.
By carrying out an independent key transition in
combination with a common transition, different transition
types can be used for the background and keys.
The following compares the independent key transition
with a common transition, taking a simultaneous change of
the background and key as an example.
Video used in the transition
Changing the background and keys 1 to 2 simultaneously
Changing the background and keys 1 to 4 simultaneously
Selecting the transition type determines the way in which
the transition occurs.
The following transition types are available.
•

•
NAM (non-additive mix)
•
Super mix
•
Preset color mix (color matte)
Effect of a common transition
In the case shown in the previous illustration, carrying out
a common transition produces the following change in the
image.

Effect of use with an independent key transition
The key is inserted with an independent key transition as
the background changes with a common transition,
providing the following result.
Each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank has eight keyers,
and all of these keyers provide the same functions.
You can use the following key types (methods of
processing the key source).
•
Luminance key
•
Linear key
•
Color vector key
•
Chroma key
•
Wipe pattern key
•
Key wipe pattern key
Key modifiers
You can apply borders and other modifiers to the edge of
the key image.
Masks
A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced by the
background or a key. You can correct the image, such as
unwanted holes that appear in the background or when a
key is not the desired shape, using masks.
Resizer
This function allows you to apply effects, such as zoom,
movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key.
The following functions are available.
•
Two-dimensional transform of keys
•
Rotation of keys
•
Resizer interpolation settings
•
Resizer crop/border settings
•
Resizer effect settings (wide key border, drop shadow,
edge enhancement, mosaic, defocus, mask)
For details, see “Keys” (page 95).
For details, see “Signal Selection and Transitions”
(page 67).
Keys
A key is an effect in which a part of the background image
is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal
determining how the background is cut out is termed the
“key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part
is termed the “key fill.” The system component
responsible for processing a key is referred to as a “keyer.”
Wipes
A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a
new video stream, using a wipe pattern.
Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to
as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key
with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.”
There are two types of wipe: those that can be selected in
a common transition, and those that can be selected in an
independent key transition.
The patterns that can be used for a wipe are as follows.
•
Standard wipes
•
Enhanced wipes
•
Rotary wipes
•
Mosaic wipes
•
Random/diamond dust wipes
You can combine two selected patterns (referred to as
“main” and “sub”) to create a new pattern (pattern mix).
21
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern
USO RESTRITO
position, applying various changes and modifiers to the
selected wipe pattern.
For details, see “Wipes” (page 125).
DME Wipes
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to
change from one video image to the next.
There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be
selected for a normal transition, and those which can be
selected for an independent key transition.
The patterns that can be used for a DME wipe are as
follows.
Slide, Squeeze, Split, Door, Flip tumble, Mirror, Sphere,
Character trail, Wave, Ripple, Page turn, Roll, Frame inout, Picture-in-picture, 2D trans, 3D trans, Sparkle, Split
slide, Mosaic, Defocus, Brick, and User programmable
DME
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern
position, applying various changes and modifiers to the
selected DME wipe pattern.
Resizer DME wipes
Using the resizer, you can carry out key DME wipes.
For details, see “DME Wipes” (page 138).

gain, hue, and black level of the input video signal. There
are two types of adjustment: adjustment for each input
signal and adjustment for each bus.
For details, see “Video Process” (page 184).
Frame memory is a function for using a still image or video
(frame memory clip) as material for editing.
You can create a still image by capturing a frame of input
video or a clip by specifying a range of input video. The
created images and clips can be written to memory for
playback, editing, and output.
For details, see “Frame Memory” (page 153).
Color Backgrounds
This function can be used to obtain color background
video.
Two color signals generated from the dedicated generators
can be switched or mixed, and then output.
For details, see “Color Backgrounds” (page 176).

When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add
three-dimensional effects such as image movement,
rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide
variety of special effects.
Each channel can be used on its own or in combination
with other channels, which allows you to create advanced
effects with more complexity.
The following types of DME special effects are available.
•
Edge effects: Border, CG Border, Crop, Beveled Edge,
Key Border, Art Edge, Flex Shadow, Wipe Crop
•
Effects for entire image: Defocus, Blur, Multi Move
•
Video image effects: Sepia, Mono, Posterization,
Solarization, Nega, Contrast, Mosaic, Mask, Sketch,
Metal, Dim and Fade, Glow
•
Freeze effects
•
Nonlinear effects: Wave, Mosaic Glass, Flag, Twist,
Ripple, Rings, Broken Glass, Flying Bar, Blind, Split,
Split Slide, Mirror, Multi Mirror, Kaleidoscope, Lens,
Circle, Panorama, Page Turn, Roll, Cylinder, Sphere,
Explosion, Swirl, Melt, Character Trail
•
Corner pinning effect
•
Lighting effects: Lighting, Spotlighting
•
Recursive effects: Trail, Motion Decay, Keyframe
Strobe, Wind
•
Background color settings
•
Separate Sides (effects for front and back sides)
•
Signal inversion (Invert effect)
•

Global effects
Global effects are special effects created by combining the
images of successive channels.
The following types of global effects are available.
•
Combiner
•

External Device Control
Snapshots
You can operate this system while controlling the
following types of external device.
•
P-Bus (Peripheral II protocol) devices
•
GPI devices
•
VTRs
•
Disk recorders (video disk communications protocol,
Odetics protocol)
•
Extended VTRs (Abekas A53 protocol)
For details about the devices that can be connected,
consult your Sony representative.
You can also control an external device by registering
timeline keyframes beforehand.
For details, see “External Devices” (page 283).
The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the
various settings required to apply a particular effect to an
image are saved in a register as a set of data, for recall as
required, to recover the original state.
Snapshots are classified as follows.
•
Snapshots applying to a particular region (functional
block of the switcher or DME)
•
Master snapshots
•
Key snapshots
•
Wipe snapshots
•
DME wipe snapshots
For details, see “Snapshots” (page 330).
Utility
The utility function allows you to assign an arbitrary action
or a shortcut for frequently used menu to a particular
Keyframes
button, to instantly recall the action or menu by pressing
the button.
A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image,
which can be saved in a register and recalled for reuse. By
For details, see “Utility Overview” (page 340).
arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and
interpolating between successive keyframes, you can
create a “keyframe effect” in which there is a continuous
Shotbox
change from each keyframe to the next.
The following figure shows three keyframes created with
a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions,
interpolated to create the effect shown.
The shotbox function allows you to recall any snapshot or
keyframe effect for specified regions (see page 297)
simultaneously.
For details, see “Shotbox Overview” (page 342).
Macros
Example of keyframes and effect execution
You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a
single effect in a register. Then by recalling this register,
you can replay the same effect.
For details, see “Keyframes” (page 297).
The macro function allows you to store a sequence of
signal selections and other operations on the control panel
as data in memory (macro register), and then recall the
data, when required, to automatically execute the same
sequence of operations.
The individual control panel operations constituting a
macro are termed “events.”
Macros also provide the following functions.
Menu macros
The menu macro function allows you to register menu
operations as events, which can be recalled, when
required, to automatically execute the same menu
operations.
Macro timeline
You can automatically execute a sequence of macro recall/
execute actions by registering them on a timeline, in the
same way as for keyframes in an effect.
25
Macro attachment
USO RESTRITO
The macro attachment function allows you to assign a
control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever
to a macro register, linking the execution of the button
function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
For details, see “Macros” (page 348).
File Operations
You can save register data, including setup information
and snapshot information, as a file on a local drive or
removable drive, and recall it as required.
Images in frame memory can be imported from an external
device, converted to a different format, and then saved.
For details, see “Files” (page 375).
Setup
Various settings are required, in order to operate the
switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on,
connected together in a single system.
This is referred to as “setup.” You perform the setup
operations from the Engineering Setup menu (hereinafter
called the Setup menu).
The settings in the Setup menu are grouped under the
following headings.
