Power A, B, C switches and status indicator

POWER A, B and C switches and status indicators

The POWER switches turn the unit on and off. The unit is
powered on when the POWER switches are on the “?” side,
and powered off when the POWER switches are on the
“a” side. The status indicators light in green when the unit
is powered on.
Depending on the system’s configuration when shipped,
there may be no optional HK-PSU02 Power Supply Units
installed. In this case, the only available POWER switches
are A and B (there is no switch C).
The unit is not powered on until two of the POWER
switches (A, B and C) are turned on.
With HK-PSU02 units installed, the system continues to
function normally as long as any two of the power supply
units are operating normally.

Caution

When installing the HK-PSU02 in your unit, be sure to
contact your Sony service representative.

Note

If a status indicator does not light when you turn a POWER
switch on, there may be a fault in the power circuits. Turn
the POWER switch off and contact your Sony service
representative.

connector and an Ethernet switch*.

* For information about Ethernet switches that can be used in an MFS-2000

system, contact your Sony service representative.

For more information about Ethernet switch connectors,
see “MFS-2000 System Configuration” (page 14).

For detailed information about setting up the Ethernet
switch, refer to the documentation supplied with the
Ethernet switch.

i DATA connector (RJ-45)

Connect the MFS-2000 to a network via the DATA
connector and an Ethernet switch.
This network is used primarily for the exchange of image
data from frame memory and various other types of data
(snapshots, etc.).

Connect an XGA compatible monitor to view edit data
pages.

e REMOTE connector (BNC type)

Connect this connector with a BNC cable to an S-BUS data
link via a T bridge.
An S-BUS data link is a single signaling circuit (S-BUS)
to which multiple devices can be connected to exchange
data.
Connecting devices such as HDS-X series routing
switchers and remote panels to an S-BUS data link enables
the following kinds of control.

• Returning to the S-BUS, tally data created by this unit on
the basis of data received from other devices

• Switching the cross-points of a switcher from the remote
panel

f REF IN (reference signal input) connectors

(BNC type)

If you wish to synchronize this unit to an external reference
signal, input the reference signal. For an HDTV system,
input an HD tri-level sync signal, black burst signal, or
analog sync signal. For an SDTV system, input a black
burst signal or analog sync signal.
The two connectors have a loop-through configuration.
Signal input to one connector can be output from the other
connector. If you will not be using the loop-through
output, be sure to terminate the unused connector with the
supplied 75Ω terminator.

Note

You cannot view edit data pages on the XGA compatible
monitor unless you have enabled a license for the BZS­8050 Editing Control Software.

Refer to the User’s Guide for information about how to
enable your license.

Maintenance

About “Memory Stick”

Clean the menu display screen (touch screen) with a soft
cloth lightly moistened with ethanol.
Be sure to wipe only the dirty places lightly, taking care
not to spread the dirt. Moistening the cloth with too much
ethanol may also result in spreading the dirt.
A lens cleaning cloth may be useful to clean the screen.

Notes

• Do not use liquid other than ethanol to clean the screen.

• Be careful not to drip ethanol between the screen and the
body while cleaning.

• Wiping the screen with excessive force may scratch the
surface.

For details of the menu display, refer to the User’s Guide.

What is “Memory Stick” media?

“Memory Stick” is a compact, portable and versatile IC
(Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data capacity
that exceeds that of a floppy disk. “Memory Stick” is
specially designed for exchanging and sharing digital data
among “Memory Stick”-compatible products. Because it
is removable, “Memory Stick” can also be used for
external data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in three sizes: standard size,
compact “Memory Stick Duo”, “Memory Stick PRO-HG
Duo”, “MagicGate Memory Stick Duo” and “Memory
Stick Micro” size.

Available types of “Memory Stick”

• You can use “Memory Stick”, “Memory Stick PRO”,
“MagicGate Memory Stick”, “Memory Stick Duo”,
“Memory Stick PRO Duo”, “Memory Stick PRO-HG
Duo”, “MagicGate Memory Stick Duo” and “Memory
Stick Micro” media on this unit.

• When using a “Memory Stick Duo”, be sure to use it
with a “Memory Stick Duo Adaptor” (MSAC-M2 or
equivalent). If you insert a “Memory Stick Duo” without
using the adaptor, there is the possibility that the stick
cannot be removed, resulting in a serious accident.

• When using a “Memory Stick Micro”, be sure to use it
with a “Memory Stick Micro Adaptor” (MSAC-MMDS
or equivalent). If you insert a “Memory Stick Micro”
without using the adaptor, there is the possibility that the
stick cannot be removed, resulting in a serious accident.

• Data displayed on this unit is not protected by
MagicGate copyright protection technology because this
unit does not support the MagicGate standard.

• Although an operation check of this product has been
performed with a “Memory Stick” of up to 16 GB, please
note that operation is not guaranteed for every type of
“Memory Stick”.

Note on data read/write speed

Data read/write speed may vary depending on the
combination of the “Memory Stick” and “Memory Stick”
compliant product you use.

What is MagicGate?

MagicGate is copyright protection technology developed
by Sony Corporation.

Before using a “Memory Stick Micro”

Attach the “Memory Stick Micro adaptor” to the “Memory
Stick Micro” to insert into the slot of the controller.

• Do not use or store the “Memory Stick” in a location that
is:

- Extremely hot, such as in a car parked in the sun

- Under direct sunlight

- Very humid or subject to corrosive substances

• When you use “Memory Stick Duo”/“Memory Stick
PRO Duo”/“Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo”/“MagicGate
Memory Stick Duo” with this product, be sure to insert
it in the right direction. Inserting it in the wrong direction
may cause damages to the product.

• “Memory Stick Duo”/“Memory Stick PRO Duo”/
“Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo” / “MagicGate Memory
Stick Duo”/“Memory Stick Micro” and “Memory Stick
Micro adaptor” should be kept away from small children
to prevent them from accidentally swallowing it.

• If the “Memory Stick Micro” attached to the “Memory
Stick Micro adaptor” is attached to the “Memory Stick
Duo adaptor” and inserted in the slot, the “Memory Stick
Micro” may not function.

• When it is shipped, a “Memory Stick” is formatted in a
special standard format. If you need to format a
“Memory Stick” yourself, format it on this unit.

• A “Memory Stick” that has been formatted on a
computer must be formatted again on this unit before it
can be used on this unit. Note that all data on the
“Memory Stick” is erased when it is reformatted. See the
User’s Guide for more information about the “Memory
Stick” format of this unit.

• Unauthorized recording may be contrary to the
provisions of copyright law. Copyright law forbids the
use of audio and video that you record without the
permission of the copyright holder for any purpose
except personal enjoyment. “Memory Stick” media that
contains copyrighted images or data cannot be used for
any purpose outside the range allowed by copyright law.

Notes

• You cannot record or erase data when the write-protect
tab on the “Memory Stick” is set to LOCK.

• Image data may be damaged in the following cases:

- If you remove the “Memory Stick”, or turn the power

off when the access lamp is lit or flashing

- If you use a “Memory Stick” near static electricity or a

magnetic field

• When writing on the memo area, do not apply overly
strong pressure with the pen.

• We recommend backing up important data.

• Do not attach anything other than the supplied label to
the “Memory Stick” labeling position.

• Attach the label so that it does not stick out beyond the
labeling position.

• Carry and store the “Memory Stick” in its case.

• Do not touch the connector of the “Memory Stick” with
anything, including your finger or metallic objects.

• Do not strike, bend, or drop the “Memory Stick”.

• Do not disassemble or modify the “Memory Stick”.

• Do not allow the “Memory Stick” to get wet.
