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
Page 8
Outstanding ease of use
Buttons and other controls on the control panels are

Setting Parameters
40 Basic Menu Operations
Parameter buttons light in light blue when they are pressed, and the parameters
are assigned to knobs. Also, the parameter group name appears above the
parameter button group. When you press a button to which a parameter has been
assigned, the numeric keypad window opens so that you can input a numeric
value. Or you may be able to set the parameter by rotating a knob. Parameters
are assigned to knobs 1 to 5 in the order of parameter buttons from the left.
When 6 or more parameters have been assigned, the 5th button functions as a
page switch button (the [More] button). For example, when 8 parameters have
been assigned, buttons 1 to 4 on menu page 1/2 are assigned to knobs 1 to 4
initially, and buttons 5 to 8 on menu page 2/2 are assigned to knobs 1 to 4 by
page switching.

switching on the PGM/PST bank when a 1.5 M/E panel or 1.5 M/E wide panel
is used.
The examples in this chapter assume that the following signals are currently
selectable with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th cross-point buttons from the left.
Signal selectable with the 2nd button from the left: Landscape

Basic Operations (1): Video Switching on the M/E Bank
Let’s begin by using the M/E bank to select video signals showing a landscape
and a lion as background video, and to switch between them with an effect.
As the effect, we will use effect number 0024 (circular wipe). A wipe is an effect
which the current video is wiped away by new video using a selected pattern.
The video changes as follows.
Chapter 4 Basics of Video Switching
Transition start Transition end
Preparations for operation
• If you are using the 1.5 M/E panel or 1.5 M/E wide panel, press and light the
[M/E] buttons at the right edge of the PGM and PST button rows of the PGM/
PST cross-point control block.
• Before starting, move the fader lever from one end of its range to the other,
and stop it at the top position.

1
In the background A row of the M/E cross-point control block, select the A
bus video.
For this example, press the 2nd button from the left to select the landscape
video signal.
The landscape video appears on the video monitor connected to the
processor’s program output (final output) connector. The pressed button
lights in red to indicate that the signal assigned to the button is being output
to the program video.
2
In the background B row, select the B bus video.
For this example, press the 3rd button from the left to select the lion video
signal.
The pressed button lights in amber to indicate that the signal assigned to the
button has only been selected. It is not yet being output to the program
video.
3
In the M/E transition control block, press the [BKGD] next transition
selection button, lighting it. (Skip this step if the button is already lit.)
The background video is selected as the target of the transition.
4
In the M/E transition control block, press the [EFF] transition type selection
button, lighting it. (Skip this step if the button is already lit.)
An effect is selected as the transition type.
5
Select the effect pattern (number 0024).
There are three ways to select effect patterns. In this example, we will use
the Flexi Pad control block.
1) Press the [M/E] button in the Flexi Pad control block, lighting it.
2) Press the [EFF/WIPE] button in the Flexi Pad control block, lighting it.
3) Press the [PTN NO.] button, lighting it in green.
4) With the numeric buttons, enter the digits 2,4, in that order.
The number that you entered appears in the numeric display.
5) Press the [ENTR] button.
Pattern number 0024 is selected.
6
Slowly move the fader lever down from the top position.
Chapter 4 Basics of Video Switching
A wipe transition using pattern number 0024 begins. A circle showing part
of the video of the B bus (the lion) appears at the center of the A bus video
(the landscape). The circle gradually grows larger, increasing the area
occupied by the B bus video. While this is happening, the transition
indicator LEDs to the left of the fader lever begin to light, starting from the
top. The number of lit LEDs increases as the transition progresses.
At this point, notice how the buttons in the background A row and the
background B row are lit. The button in the A row remains lit in red, but the
color of the lit button in the B row has changed from amber to red. This
indicates that both of the video signals selected by the buttons are being
output to the program video.
7
Stop the fader lever at the bottom position.
The landscape video vanishes from the screen, leaving only the lion video.
This completes the wipe transition.
45Basic Operations (1): Video Switching on the M/E Bank
Page 46
Now, notice again how the buttons in the background A and B rows are lit.
With the transition complete, the 3rd button from the left in the A row is lit
in red, and the 2nd button from the left in the B row is lit in amber. This
means that the signal selections in the A and B rows have been exchanged.
In other words, the lion video is now selected in the A row, and the
landscape video is selected in the B row.
In this state, try moving the fader lever from the bottom to the top. The
transition takes place in the same direction as last time (from A bus video to
B bus video), but this time the lion is replaced by the landscape.
About auto transitions
An auto transition is executed if, in step 6, you press the [AUTO TRANS]
button in the transition execution control block instead of moving the fader
lever.
The time from the start to the end of the transition is called the “transition rate”
(unit: frames). The transition rate can be freely set in the range from 0 to 999
Chapter 4 Basics of Video Switching
frames.
See “Setting Transition Rates” (page 69) for more information about how to
specify transition rates.
About cut transitions
A cut transition is executed if, in step 6, you press the [CUT] button in the
transition execution control block instead of moving the fader lever. In this case,
the transition type selected in step 4 (effect) and the effect pattern selected in
step 5 (0024) are ignored.

Basic Operations (2): Video Switching on the PGM/
PST Bank — For 1.5 M/E Systems
If you are using a 1.5 M/E panel or a 1.5 M/E wide panel, you can create the
program video (final output video) on the PGM/PST bank. You can select
background video and execute transitions with the same operations as the ones
used on the M/E bank. You can also take video created on the M/E bank and use
it as background video.
This section shows how to take the output of the M/E bank (for example, the lion
video selected with the 3rd cross-point button from the left) and use it as
background video. To replace it, we will use the castle video selected with the
4th cross-point button from the left. As the wipe pattern, we will use pattern
number 0001, in which the new video gradually moves in from the left side of
the screen.

transition completes, the lion video is gone and the castle video occupies the
entire screen.
At this stage, the colors of the lit cross-point buttons are as follows.
• 4th button from the left in the PGM row (selecting the castle video
signal): Red
• [M/E] button at the right edge of the PST row (selecting the M/E output

When modifications (Position, Aspect, and so on) have been applied to effects,
the video may not switch smoothly, and afterimages may remain visible even
after transitions have finished executing.
To switch the video instantly ([CUT] button)
Press the [CUT] button in the transition execution section.
The video switches between the A bus and the B bus with each press of the
button.
To execute a transition at a specified transition rate ([AUTO TRANS] button)
Press the [AUTO TRANS] button in the transition execution section.
The progress of the transition is shown by the transition indicator LEDs, which
light one after the other as the transition proceeds.
To execute a transition with the fader lever
Move the transition lever from one side to the other at any speed. Once you do
this, you can control the transition manually.
The transition indicator LEDs light one after the other as you move the lever to
execute the transition.
About fader lever non-sync
If an auto transition finishes with the fader lever in an intermediate position, the
lever position does not match the current transition position. This state is called
“non-sync.”
Two of the transition indicator LEDs light to indicate a non-sync state, either at
the top of the lever range, at the bottom of the range, or at both sides.
74 Executing Transitions
Page 75
• Moving the lever toward the side where LEDs are lit does not execute a
transition. However, the non-sync state is released when the lever reaches the
edge of its range, enabling you to execute a transition with the next operation.
• Moving the lever toward the side where LEDs are not lit executes a transition
across the remaining lever range.
An auto transition is possible even if the fader lever is in a non-sync state. When
you press the [AUTO TRANS] button, the transition indicator LEDs light as
always to show the progress of the transition. But when the transition finishes,
two of the LEDs light to indicate the non-sync state.

Composing Video With Keys
A key is an effect in which color and shape information is used to cut out part
of the background video and replace it with another color or other video. 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.”
This system supports the following types of keys.
Luminance key/linear key: Used to insert titles and logos into the video. The
key source often shows black and white text, which is detected by using the
luminance (Y) signal.
Chroma key: Used to compose scenes with two different components, for
example people and a background. A key signal based on a particular color
is used to cut out the background.
Pattern key: Video is composed using various patterns. A special pattern is
used as the key source.
