XVS-9000 / XVS-8000 / XVS-7000 / XVS-6000 / MVS-6530 / MVS-3000A

The Powerful Switcher Family from Sony

In response to rapidly growing demand for 4K production and IP interfacing, Sony proudly introduces the XVS Series (XVS-9000/8000/7000/6000) of
production switchers. The XVS Series inherits excellent, versatile features from the widely accepted MVS Series of switchers plus enhanced frame memory,
format conversion, multi-viewer capabilities, and a wide range of input and output video formats both in SDI and IP. The XVS Series also supports the
growing needs of HDR (high dynamic range) imaging.
The XVS Series utilizes the ICP-X7000 – a modular control panel that gives you the freedom to determine your own panel configurations.

With innovative, high performance and sophisticated operability, the XVS Series provides highly reliable production switchers to boost user creativity in
many different applications.

IP Live Production with the XVS Series ~ 4K IP in a Single Stream (ST 2110-20) ~

Sony’s high-end live production-equipped IP interfaces enable remote integration (REMI) of live production systems, allowing
you to share resources between a number of studios, overcoming previous logistical barriers. This offers the extraordinary
potential to build a data center of live production equipment, a capability that is highly valued by many broadcasters today.
The XVS Series was chosen by many IP broadcast facilities at the dawn of the IP Live production era because of its video format
flexibility – for example, HD/4K (UHD) on ST 2110-20 and HDR/SDR – as well as for system stability in the IP domain. 100G IP input
and output boards provide internal format conversion too.

In addition, IP brings huge benefits in terms of system design. A centralized IP router makes the whole system more
configurable. Furthermore, OB trucks need fewer cables and the significant reduction in system weight helps to lower fuel
consumption and cost.

FEATURES

Beneficial Functions for 4K Productions

Powerful XVS Series switchers accept 4K content just as they accept HD content and
support the following configurations with flexibility and creativity for 4K production:

• XVS-9000: 5M/E, 80 inputs, 40 outputs, 20 (10 full + 10 sub) keyers in 4K

• XVS-8000: 5M/E, 40 inputs, 12 outputs, 20 (10 full + 10 sub) keyers in 4K

• XVS-7000: 3M/E, 28 inputs, 12 outputs, 12 (6 full + 6 sub) keyers in 4K

• XVS-6000: 2M/E, 16 inputs, 6 outputs, 8 (4 full + 4 sub) keyers in 4K

Frame memory and DME are also available for 4K production. Frame memory lets you store
and recall up to four channels of onboard graphics and animations. DME provides you with
up to 4 channels of 4K 3D effects in the XVS-9000, 2 channels in the XVS-8000/7000, and 1
channel in the XVS-6000.
Not only for dedicated 4K production, the XVS Series offers dual-format production such
as 4K and HD (1080P) within a single processor, introducing a flexible production style and
reducing required production sources.

Scalable Processor Configurations XVS

The processors of XVS Series can be configured to suit the exact needs of each particular
user with regard to operation, resolution, frame rate, number of inputs and outputs, M/E
banks and more.
Another great benefit is that these switchers can be upgraded as your needs grow, simply
by installing the appropriate option boards and software licenses.
M/E split function allows you to use a single M/E as two separate M/E system; this means
five M/Es can be doubled to ten in a single processor frame. With Sony’s Multi Program 2
software, two independent program outputs are provided on each M/E, for complete dual
operation (main/sub) from a single M/E bus. (Not available for 4K)

IP-Ready Live Production Switcher

IP is one of the main options for the XVS
Series switcher. It natively supports the
SMPTE ST 2110 IP format in a single stream

interfaces. It provides not only flexible I/O
configuration but also smooth migration
from SDI to IP, simply by replacing input
and output connector boards in a single
processor.

By using those IP input and output boards, you
greatly reduce the number of required cables.

Easy and Simple Coax Connection with 12G-SDI

The XVS Series supports new 12G-SDI*1 input and output interface boards. This allows
you to realize easy and simple 4K signal connection with a single SDI coax cable, helping
reducing the total number of cables in 4K systems.
12G-SDI input and output boards can support not only 12G-SDI but also 3G-SDI and

1.5G-SDI simultaneously, giving you flexible system configuration.
In XVS-9000, 1080i proxy output is also available with each 4K output.

Convenient Format Conversion (FC)

Operating with various video formats usually requires the preparation of an external
converter to align each video format into a single format. With XVS Series switchers, you
can simply use the built-in format conversion options for effortless operation. A variety of
up- and down-conversion options are available for switcher inputs and outputs. The XVS
Switcher has an input format converter option, an output format converter option, and an
internal inbound and outbound format converter option.
Supported signal formats at FC:

• System Format = 4K: 1080i, 1080p Level-A/B, 4K 2SI Level-A/B, 4K SQD Level-A/-B

• System Format = 1080p: 1080i, 1080p Level-A/-B

• System Format = 1080i: 480i, 576i, 1080i, 720p

Format Conversion Example-1 : XVS-8000

Frame Delay Function, Frame Synchronizer Function

Input signals can be delayed by frames using an optional format converter*2. This is useful
for adjusting timing to a virtual set or computer graphic – elements that usually have
signal delays. Thanks to this internal frame delay function, simple system configuration
is available without any external delay devices. Frame delay is also useful when both SDI
and IP signals are fed to the switcher, as IP signals tend to delay SDI signals.

The format converter can also be used as a frame synchronizer*2. This helps when
connecting non-genlocked signals. It also offers an input CCR (color corrector) function.
Output CCR is standard for AUX bus outputs

*2 Available with SDI boards – XKS-S8111, XKS-S8112 and XKS-S9112, and Format Converter Board XKS-8460.

Input Frame Delay will be available with 100G IP board in future software update.

Non-Volatile High Capacity Frame Memory

All Sony switchers provide an internal high-capacity frame store (32GB) with the ability to
handle both individual images (stills) and animation sequences (clips). The XVS Series is
equipped with non-volatile, high-capacity frame storage (480GB).
Approximately 5,500 frames*
instantly to 20 frame memory channels. Approximately 64,000*
in the onboard SSD for extreme high-speed transfer of image data to and from onboard
working memory. Audio data is also supported. Individual frame memory images or
animation sequences can be instantly viewed and recalled via touch-screen menu
operation.

Resizer and CG Border

A powerful resizer function is provided that gives simple 2.5D DME effects (Fig.1) for every
keyer in HD, or for half of a keyer in 4K. With adjustable parameters such as size, position,
and aspect, as well as mosaic and defocus effects, this functionality is very useful for
optimizing the on-screen composition.

These resizers can also be activated for clip transitions
and CG borders. Parameters can be memorized as part
of a switcher snapshot, keyframe, or macro effect.

Resizer function (Fig.1)

All these effects can be created without the use of an optional DME, bringing great
advantages for both simple operation and minimized system cost.
CG border*
By enabling CG border, the picture positon and size inside the graphics can be easily
adjusted (Fig.3).
Then the entire image – both the graphics and the inside picture – can be moved
together in the picture frame.
The below picture provides the example of two anchors displayed with a CG border in a
sports game live cast.

*1 CG border is not available in 4K.

1

(Fig.2) is a great feature allowing graphics to be used as a key resizer border.

Clip Transition Effects

Sony switchers provide clip transition effects that enable transition, together with audio,
using a frame memory sequence. During a Clip Transition, a CG image, such as a logo,
moves across the picture from one side to other, while the transition is performed behind
the image.
Clip Transition is becoming more popular, not only for a replay transition in sports but
also for scripted news shows. You can select a frame memory Clip Transition (CG Wipe) as
the transition type just as easily in the same way as selecting Mix, Wipe, and DME-Wipe.
Fader operation is also available.

Sony’s comprehensive GUI menu provides intuitive operation for precise timing and
position adjustment for perfect matching between the transition and the CG clip.

In order to manage more number of still image in 4K, every Full Keyer can freeze a pair of
video and key in its frame buffer, which may release a dedicated Frame Memory channel
for other use such as a Clip Transition.

Programmable Macros

While having a dedicated button for each function is convenient, Sony switchers also
have easy-to-program macros.
Using the Flexi-Pad, Utility/Shot Box, or 10-key Pad module, you can record operation
sequences, then store and assign them to desired buttons. Macros are useful in live
environments where time is critical and operation errors are not tolerated. In addition
to using macros to record complex panel operations, macros can also be used to record
menu operations. Macros can be edited either directly from the control panel or with the
touch-screen menu display.
Once programmed, macros can be executed in several ways: By recall/run from a
button on the Flexi-Pad or XPT Pad, or by trigger on a timeline to execute automatically
in a sequence. Macros can also be recalled by other panel buttons as a macro-only or
together with the original function. The attached Macro on XPT buttons can be displayed
on the OLED source name display, so that the operator can easily confirm the attached
Macro.

Aux Mix Transition

In addition to the M/E mix, the All Sony switcher provides a highly useful AUX bus mix
capability. This greatly expands the production power of your system and allows for AUX
bus dissolves on any pair of AUX bus outputs – perfect for independent mixing on in­vision monitors. It frees up valuable M/E resources.

3D Digital Multi Effect (DME)

Sony’s powerful internal DME options can add creative variety and sophistication to
any broadcast in 4K and HD*
impression of 3D effects. Common examples are page turns, where live video appears to
roll back on itself, displaying moving video on the front and back surfaces.

This built-in DME processor allows you to exploit creative effects with stunning picture
quality including Depth Combine, Dim/Fade, Wipe Crop, Art Edge, Key Border, Spot
Lighting, Texture Lighting, Flex Shadow, and Wind. Unlike keyer resizers, 3D DME*
can manipulate images in the Z plane.

*1 XKS-8470 HD DME Board can provide only HD 3D DME effects.

Multi-Channel Multi-Viewer

The XVS Series switchers provide a standard four- or two-channel multi-viewer feature*2.
Each channel display can be split into 4, 10, 13, and 16 sections. This provides a cost
effective way to avoid expensive external multi-viewer systems. The multi-viewer also
supports source name and tally indicators. 4K format is available for Multi-Viewer output.

The XVS Series are equipped with eight keyers on each M/E bus. Each keyer includes
resizer function for picture manipulation (size, position, and rotation).
For further flexibility, it also offers chroma keying and color vector keying at any keyer.
Separate from the main fader, each keyer has its own auto-transition controls, which
allow users to insert or remove keys individually with independent wipes, DME wipes, and
dissolves.

*3 In 4K, resizer, chromakey and color vector key are available at the Full keyer only.

Multi-program mode (Fig1, Fig2)

Each M/E bus can be configured with two types of multi-program modes, Multi-program
(MP) or Multi-program 2 (MP2)*
In MP mode, each separate program output can be configured with different combination
of M/E keyers.
MP2 expands the use of the M/E banks and provides complete dual operation (main/
sub) from a single M/E bus. This mode is especially convenient when broadcasting sports
for two different destinations (for home and away teams) simultaneously, or in multiple
languages. Keyers can be inserted into both main- and sub-programs.

Both the Multi-program mode does not eliminate other M/E outputs. Clean and Key
PVW as well as M/E PVW signals are still produced in addition to the expanded program
outputs.

*4 MP2 requires optional XZS-9200/8200/7200/6200 Multi Program 2 Software. MP2 is not available in 4K.

Resource Sharing

A single XVS processor can be divided into two logical switchers. Most of the switcher resources, such as input ports, output ports, ME, and other resources, can be assigned to each logical
switcher. This simply creates two independent switchers in one processor frame. HD + HD, 4K + 4K, or 4K + HD configurations are available*

*1 In 4K + HD resource share mode, HD is 1080p only.

Two logical switchers can be used independently or linked.
When they are independent, each of these two logical switchers can be used for separate production in two control rooms. : [Case-A]
When they are linked, you can achieve simultaneous production in 4K and HD. : [Case-B]

One processor can be used for 4K and HD Dual Simul production. (4K/HD M/E Link)

• One production crew with one switcher processor can create both 4K and HD
programs at the same time.

• The pre-switched HD signal is fed to the 4K layer through the input format converter,
which can eciently utilize HD sources in 4K production in a single switcher
processor.

• By adding the HDRC-4000 converter box, instead of using the XVS production
switcher’s input format converter, as a tie-line connection between the two logical
switchers, you can achieve ecient SDR-HDR conversion.

Outstanding Scalability and Flexibility

Remote Production

Thanks to its IP interface, the XVS production switcher is primed for remote production
with its cost-saving benefits. Take for example sports game production when only the
camera team needs to be on location and other production crew can operate from home
base. With the switcher’s IP I/O capabilities, camera streams on location can be sent to
home base and switched locally (Fig.1).

The XVS production switcher goes a step further by enabling remote control of any
switcher processor from any network connected panel. By placing the switcher processor
on location at the live event and the panel at home base, this reduces the amount
of bandwidth required to send IP camera streams. You can simply transmit the XVS
production switcher’s multi-viewer feeds and program, and preset to home base,
enabling the switcher operator to view, select, and switch sources utilizing as few as four
IP streams (Fig.2).

Key benefits

- Switch live events from centralized location

- Save on time & travel expenses

- Send minimum crew on location

- Improve utilization of key personnel

- Augment local programming with remote sources

- Simplify & lower the cost of remote truck construction

ICP-X7000 Control Panel Series

Sony is the pioneer of a modular style of design with the CCP-8000 Series
MVS Control Panel which has firmly established a stellar reputation since
its debut in 2001. Now this control panel evolves as the ICP-X7000 Series
Control Panel and inherits all of the same modular capabilities, providing
very flexible panel configurations.

In addition, the ICP-X7000 Series Control Panel provides three types of
chassis – standard, narrow and compact – without losing flexibility and
functionality. With this variety of chassis, Sony satisfies all types of customer
need for various switcher control panel operations and operational
environments.

With enhanced operability compared with the CCP-8000, the ICP-X7000
Series Control Panel has new features including an OLED display, RGB XPT
buttons, and a Sony-original LCD button pad as well as a re-designed panel
button layout. These enhancements provide operators with steady status
recognition and confidence in button-push accuracy and speed in mission­critical live production scenes.

Comprehensive Device Control System Data Management

Powerful Device Control

External video servers, VTRs, and P-bus devices can all be controlled directly from the
switcher control panel using MKS-X7700 or MKS-X2700 Device Control Units. Devices
can be controlled on the same timeline as switcher events or as part of macro events.
When integrating on the Odetics protocol, VDCP- and AMP-controlled disk recorder clip
management is also provided. This allows different server clips to be recalled and played
back as part of a switcher timeline or macro via both conventional RS-422 serial ports and
Ethernet ports.
Clip Name, Current Timecode, Start Timecode, Stop Timecode are displayed on the track
ball module of the ICP-X7000 control panel, and the operator can confirm the status of each
device.

Intelligent Tally Functions

All Sony switchers provide an intelligent and multi-functional tally system, which seamlessly
integrates the switcher and router tally functions. Multiple on-air and recording tallies can
easily be programmed on the switcher system, so that even complex tally requirements are
accommodated. High-speed parallel tally and multiple functional serial tally over RS-422
and Ethernet (IP) are available.

Integrated Switcher Control

The PWS-110SC1 Switcher Control Station is a main
engine in the XVS switcher system and runs the reliable
Linux operating system. It provides substantial power
to control all of the XVS components, as well as the web
server to support the Virtual Shot Box and Virtual Menu
applications. This unit also supports a user LAN which
