Features of the MVS-6000 Multi Format Switcher System
Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
The MVS-6000 Multi Format Switcher System boasts 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.
For the signal formats that can be selected, see “Setting the Signal Format” in
Chapter 18 (Volume 3).
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.
Additionally, by installing the optional MKS-6470 DME Board Set, you can
obtain the functionality of two DME channels.
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 routing switcher provides an all-inclusive 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 four keyers, and each
keyer is capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent key
transitions separate from the background transitions. The four keys can be
freely combined, to carry out four different program outputs.
Features of the MVS-6000 Multi Format Switcher System
16
Page 17
Powerful frame memory functions
An HDTV system can hold approximately 1,000 still image frames or 2,000
frames in 720P/59.94 format, and an SDTV system can hold approximately
5,000 frames in 480i/59.94 format or 4,000 frames in 576i/50 format in
memory, and up to eight frames can be recalled and used simultaneously.
Link operation with DME
Using the MKS-6470 DME Board Set (option), a range of DME functions
including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher
functions.
You can use a maximum of two DME channels.
Designed for use in a live broadcasting environment
High-performance user interface
The menu control block provides a large color LCD panel, with rapid touchpanel menu selection.
The source name displays have color backlit LCD displays. The signal names,
and graphical representations of the patterns associated with buttons provide
intuitive feedback, and allow the immediate decisions that are required in a live
operating environment.

Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
Basic Video Processing
This section introduces basic functions used for video processing on the
switcher.
Transitions
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 of the images, the
background, and keys 1 to 4 (downstream keys 1 to 4 in the PGM/PST bank),
and also vary combinations of these simultaneously.
The following are examples of transition.
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).
Basic Video Processing
18
Transition
Background BBackground A
In the default selection of flip-flop mode (see page 128), the background
always switches in the direction from the A bus to the B bus. When the
transition completes, the cross-point selections on the A and B buses are
interchanged.
Page 19
Inserting and deleting a key
You can insert one or more of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/
PST bank).
If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key.
A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible.

and the background at the same time.

The following are the transition type.
•Mix
• NAM (non-additive mix)
• Super mix
• Preset color mix (color matte)
•Wipe
•DME wipe
• Clip transition
•Cut
Page 21
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 Transitions
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. These are
called “independent key transitions.”
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 description compares the independent key transition with a
common transition, taking a simultaneous change of the background and key
as an example.

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.

Different wipe patterns are applied to
the background and key transitions.
For details of transitions, see Chapter 3 “Signal Selection and Transitions”
(page 93).
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 “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is
termed “key fill.” The system component responsible for processing a key is
referred to as a keyer.
Each switcher bank has four keyers.
On each switcher bank, you can use the following key types (methods of
processing the key source).
• Luminance key
• Linear key
• Color vector key
• Chroma key
• Key wipe pattern key
Key modifiers
Basic Video Processing
22
You can apply borders and other modifiers to the edge of the key image.
Page 23
Masks
A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced by the background or a key.
To prevent unwanted holes in the background, or if a key is not the desired
shape, you can correct this with a mask.
Resizer
Wipes
This function allows you to apply effects, similar to a DME, such as zoom,
movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key. You can use the
following operations.
• Two-dimensional transform of a key
• Resizer interpolation settings
• Resizer crop/border settings
• Resizer effect settings (mosaic, defocus)
For details, see Chapter 4 “Keys” (page 139).
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.
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern position, applying
various changes and modifiers to the selected wipe pattern.
For details, see Chapter 5 “Wipes” (page 199).
Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
DME Wipes
A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one

Creation of Special Effects and Management of Data and Operations
This section introduces functions used for creation of special effects, control of
external devices or switcher operations, and data management.
Digital Multi Effects (DME)
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, Crop, Beveled Edge, Key Border, Art Edge, Flex
Shadow, Drop Shadow
• Effects for entire image: Defocus, Blur, Multi Move
• Effects for video image: 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
• Lighting effects: Lighting, Spotlighting
• Recursive effects: Trail, Motion Decay, Keyframe Strobe
• Background color
• Separate Sides (effects for front and back sides)
• Signal inversion (Invert effect)
• Key density adjustment
• Key source selection
Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
Global effects
Global effects are special effects created by combining the images of
successive channels. The following types of global effects are available.
• Combiner
•Brick
• Shadow

External Devices
In this system, you can operate while controlling the following types of
external device:
• Devices supporting P-Bus (Peripheral II protocol)
• Devices supporting GPI
•VTRs
• Disk recorder (Sony disk 9-pin protocol and video disk communications
protocol)
• Extended VTR (Abekas A53 protocol)
For details on the devices that can be connected, consult your Sony
representative.
You can control an external device by previously registering timeline
keyframes.
For details, see Chapter 12 “External Devices” (Volume 2).
Keyframes
A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved in a
register (see “Register” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2)) and recalled for reuse.
By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating
between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a
continuous change from each keyframe to the next.

Interpolated images
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 Chapter 13 “Keyframe Effects” (Volume 2).
Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
Snapshots
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 divided as follows.
• Snapshots applying to a particular region (functional block of the switcher or
• Master snapshot
• Key snapshot
• Wipe snapshot
• DME wipe snapshot:
An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to
switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled.
DME)
29Creation of Special Effects and Management of Data and Operations

These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when
the snapshot is saved or recalled.
For details, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2).
Chapter 1 MVS-6000 Functions
Utility
The utility function refers to a function whereby you can assign an arbitrary
action or a shortcut for frequently used menu to a particular button, then
instantly recall the action or menu by pressing the button.
For details, see “Utility Execution” in Chapter 15 (Volume 2).
Shotbox
The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each specified region (see
“Region” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2)) any snapshot or keyframe effect can be
recalled simultaneously.
For details, see “Shotbox” in Chapter 15 (Volume 2).
Macros
The term “macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of signal
selections and other operations on the control panel is saved as data in memory,
so that it can be recalled as 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 term “menu macro” refers to the function whereby a sequence of menu
operations is saved as data in memory, so that it can be recalled as required to
automatically execute the same sequence of operations.
Macro timeline
By recording macro recall and execute action on a timeline, in the same way as
for keyframes in an effect, you can automatically execute them in a sequence.

Basics of Signal Selection
96
Each of the M/E bank and auxiliary bus control block has cross-point buttons
which are identified by numbers common to the bank and block, and a signal
is assigned to each number.
These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block,
and a signal is assigned to each number.
Signal Selection
Page 97
The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the crosspoint button to which is assigned the desired signal.
Bus Selection
The key row is shared by multiple buses.
To assign a bus to the cross-point buttons in the auxiliary bus control block,
press one of the AUX delegation buttons to select the bus.

When using the CCP-6224/6324, buses may be assigned with the cross-point
button rows for keys 1 and 2 as the auxiliary bus control block.
The following table illustrates the correspondence between buses and crosspoint button rows, and the delegation operations.
