Introduction
This manual is the User’s Guide for the MFS-2000 Multi
Format Switcher system.
The MFS-2000 system is comprised of the MFS-2000
Multi Format Switcher Processor, the main unit, and
optional system devices such as control panels and system
boards.
In place of the official device names, this manual refers to
the devices in the system by the names shown in the
following table.

System Features
The MFS-2000 system is a compact multi-format switcher
system supporting numerous HD and SD signal formats.
The principal features of this system are as follows.
Multi-format support
Support for the 480i/59.94 and 576i/50 formats is standard.
The optional BZS-2000M Switcher Upgrade Software can
be installed to provide support for the following formats.
• 1080i/50, 59.94
• 1080PsF/23.976, 24, 25, 29.97
• 720p/59.94
State of the art special effects
In its standard configuration, the system supports a wide
variety of effect patterns, including advanced wipes.
Installation of the optional MKS-2470 DME Board Set
makes a further array of advanced effects available, such
as flip tumble, page turn, and 2ch P in P (two-channel
picture-in-picture).
Comprehensive keying capabilities
The system is equipped with two keyers and two
downstream keyers. All keyers support chroma keying and
special key transitions, independent of background
transitions (“independent key transitions”).
Optimal for use in live broadcast
environment
Compact and lightweight
Both control panels and processor are compact and
lightweight, designed for use where space is limited. This
is the optimal system for use in small-scale outdoor
broadcast vans and editing suites.
7 Introduction / System Features
Outstanding ease of use
Buttons and other controls on the control panels are
Chapter 1 Overview
grouped in easy to understand functional blocks,
facilitating the quick decisions that must be made in a live
broadcast environment.
The menu control block features a 6.5-type color LCD
touch panel, for quick menu operation.

b) The 1.5 M/E panel and the 1.5 M/E wide panel differ in the number of
cross-point buttons. They are identical in all other respects.
Operation button positions
The positions of some operation buttons on the 1 M/E
panel are different from the positions of the buttons with
the same functions on the 1.5 M/E panel and 1.5 M/E wide
panel. This manual explains how to operate using the 1.5
M/E panel, but figures are also provided for the 1 M/E
panel when the buttons employed are in different
positions.
10 Control Panel Types

Cross-point button numbers
On the 1 M/E panel and the 1.5 M/E panel, there are 12
cross-point buttons in each row. On the 1.5 M/E wide

buttons are numbered 1 to 12 or 1 to 20 from the left side
of the panel. Pressing the [SHIFT] button 3 to turn the
shift function on makes more cross-point button numbers
available: numbers 13 to 24, or 21 to 40. This manual
refers to the buttons available when the shift function is on
as “shift side buttons,” and to the buttons available when
the shift function is off as “non-shift side buttons.”
See page 156 for more information about cross-point

When the [MENU] button is on, you can use this to adjust
parameters. Operation of the joystick is linked with
operation of the knobs in the menu control block.
Parameter assigned to knob 1: The value increases when
the joystick is moved to the right, and decreases when
the joystick is moved to the left.
Parameter assigned to knob 2: The value increases when
the joystick is moved away from you, and decreases
when the joystick is moved toward you.
Parameter assigned to knob 3: The value increases when
the knob of the joystick is rotated clockwise, and
decreases when it is rotated counterclockwise.
The adjustment range depends on the parameter.
When the [SHTL] button or [JOG] button in the utility

of the currently selected effect pattern. For some effect
patterns, the joystick can be used to change their size.
X-axis position: The X value increases when the joystick
is moved to the right, and decreases when the joystick
is moved to the left.
Y-axis position: The Y value increases when the joystick
is moved away from you, and decreases when the
joystick is moved toward you.
Size: The value increases when the knob of the joystick is
rotated clockwise, and decreases when it is rotated
counterclockwise.
