Overview

The MKS-8080/8082 AUX Bus Remote Panel switches AUX input/output signals to/from an MVS-8000 Multi Format Switcher System connected to the primary station of the S-BUS data link.

The MKS-8080 occupies 1 unit in height in a standard 19inch rack, and has 32 source select buttons and four reentry buttons.

The MKS-8082 occupies 3 units in height in a standard 19inch rack. The unit has 16 destination select buttons in addition to the buttons of the MKS-8080. The signal name can be labeled on each source select button and destination select buttons.

Features

AUX signal assignment linking with the MVS-8000

Settings of the select buttons made on the MVS-8000 are automatically set to the MKS-8080/8082, which enables control of operations of the linked MVS-8000. On the MKS-8082, the signal names are indicated on the buttons, and the arrangement of the signals set on the buttons can be changed.

Routing switcher controllable (MKS-8082 only)

While the RTR button is lit (RTR mode), you can control the routing switcher. Using this function, you can switch signals in an emergency, with MVS-8000 switching disabled.

Routing function (MKS-8082 only)

When you use the routing function, you can expand the number of sources without using the cascade connection. If you select expanded input as a source, the name of the actually selected source will appear.

Compatibility with P1 and P2 S-BUS protocols

Both the P1 (matrix size of 512 × 512 with 8 levels 1)) and P2 (matrix size of 1024 × 512 with 16 levels and matrix size of 1024 × 1024 with 8 levels) S-BUS protocols are supported.

1) Levels

To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is necessary to use a routing switcher for each type of signal. The types are called “levels”. For example, a recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of five signal levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, time code, and remote-control signals.

Large select buttons whose functions can be distinguished by color (MKS-8082 only)

Large select buttons on the front panel are employed for easy operation. They light in green, red, or amber, giving status information or showing the available choices to the operator.

Custom-configuring the unit with the select buttons

Using the select buttons in combination, you can set your own configuration for this unit, including source selection, signal assignment to the select buttons, and level breakaways.

Preset display window

The preset display window indicates the current status and entry/preset information. The operation mode can be set separately from a connected computer with the terminal software installed (hereinafter called the terminal).

Displaying a source or destination name on the buttons (MKS-8082 only)

Each source or destination name defined with the terminal can be shown on a key label on its button. You can easily replace any key label so that an updated indication can reflect any setting change on the terminal.

Different sources for levels selectable (breakaway function) (MKS-8082 only)

You can select and display different sources for levels. This is called the breakaway function.

Chop function for automatic toggling between two sources (MKS-8082 only)

Two sources are switched alternately at a specified interval automatically.

Several crosspoints switchable with the touch of a button (phantom function or sarvo function) (MKS-8082 RTR mode only)

When multiple crosspoints have been set as a phantom on the terminal, all the crosspoints defined with a phantom name can be switched by pressing one button.

Connectable with a single cable

The unit can be connected to the S-BUS data link of a digital routing switcher using a single 75-ohm coaxial cable, and can control the switcher.

Self-diagnostic functions

When the power is turned on, the ROM, RAM, and S-BUS data link, are automatically checked as to whether they function correctly. The buttons on the front panel light one after another to show that there is no problem in internal connections.

Operation on 100 V to 240 V AC without voltage selection

The unit can operate on voltages between 100 and 240 V AC without voltage adaptation.
