Features

The XVS-9000/8000/7000/6000 Multi Format Switcher system is an extensible, high performance, multifunctionality switcher system that supports 4K video creation and networked media interface (NMI) input/ output. The following are some of the principal features of this system.

4K format support

4K signal format is supported, enabling 4K video processing. The number of M/E (mix/effect) banks, keys, input/ outputs, etc. that support 4K format vary depending on the switcher. On the XVS-9000, up to five M/E banks are available, with up to four keys (two keys + two sub keys) up to 80 inputs, and up to 40 outputs (up to 48 outputs, counting the multi viewer output connectors).

1) Sub keys are supported only when the signal format is 3840×2160P.

per M/E bank,

Flexible control panel layout

Modular design enables flexible layout of the various sections of the control panel. M/E rows can also be split and installed on curved surfaces or in different locations. The control panel can be configured in accordance with the operational environment and organization of systems.

Panel design for enhanced operability

The control panel features high visibility components, such as organic EL (OLED) displays, cross-point buttons with color indicators, and LCD buttons (cross-point pad, Flexi Pad control block, utility/shotbox control block). In addition, changeable button layouts improve the operability, making it ideal for live production environments in which instantaneous decisions are required.

NMI and ST2110 support

Transfer of input/output signals is supported when connected to an IP network. One switcher can support a combination of SDI and IP networks (NMI or ST2110) using the existing support for SDI input/output.

2) The XVS-9000 does not support NMI and ST2110 input/output.

Flexible device configuration

The number of M/E banks and number of inputs/outputs can be changed using combinations of option boards. Devices can be configured to suit the system scale and expansion. Also, installing an optional DME board functionality on up to four channels on the XVS-9000.

3) 3840×2160P SQD and 3840×2160PsF SQD signal formats are not supported.

enables DME

Powerful frame memory functions

Installing an optional frame memory board enables use of 20-channel frame memory outputs. With memory that can store about 5,000 frames of HD images and large-capacity non-volatile storage (SSD) installed, this enables images saved in storage to be recalled into memory at high speed.

Main Functions

Image Creation

Transitions

Switching from the current video feed to a new video feed is referred to as a transition. Switching a background video or key insertion/removal can be performed, depending on the transition. The method for switching video feeds (transition type) can be set, and the transition executed using the buttons and fader levers on the control panel.

Independent key transitions

In addition to common transitions, it is possible to configure independent transitions on each keyer. Executing an independent key transition in combination with a common transition enables different transition types to be used for the background and keys.

For details, see “Signal Selection and Transitions” (page 73).

DME wipes

This function switches from the current video feed to a new video feed using a DME effect. There are two types of DME wipe: those that can be selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition. You can apply various modifiers to a wipe pattern, such as setting the wipe direction and pattern position.

Resizer DME wipes

Using the resizer, you can execute DME wipes of keys.

For details, see “DME Wipes” (page 153).

Digital Multi Effects (DME)

When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, and scaling, as well as a wide variety of special effects.

Global effects

Global effects are special effects created by combining the pictures of successive DME channels.

For details, see “DMEs” (page 209).

Keys

Images (keys), such as titles, can be superimposed on the background video. Key processing is performed on a keyer. The key source (signal used to cut out a portion of the background image), key fill (signal to embed in the cutout portion) and key type (key source processing method) can be selected for a key.

Resizer

This function adds effects, such as movement, rotation, and scaling, to the created key.

For details, see “Keys” (page 106).

Wipes

This function switches from the current video feed to a new video feed using a wipe pattern. 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 apply various modifiers to a wipe pattern, such as setting the wipe direction and pattern position.

For details, see “Wipes” (page 139).

Frame memory

This function freezes and captures a single frame of the input video feed as a still image for later use. You can also specify a range in the input video to create still images to form a frame memory clip.

For details, see “Frame Memory” (page 168).

Color backgrounds

This function is used to create color background video, using a color signal created by a dedicated generator.

For details, see “Color Backgrounds” (page 181).

Video process

This function adjusts the luminance and hue of the input signal.

For details, see “Video Process” (page 192).

Side flags

This function is used to attach separate video to both sides of a video with a 4:3 aspect ratio to make a 16:9 aspect ratio.

For details, see “Side Flags” (page 194).

Image Data Management and Operation

Macro attachments

You can execute a sequence of macros when a control panel button or fader lever is operated by assigning the control panel button or a fader lever to a macro register.

Keyframes

This function loads the conditions of the video at a point in time as data which can then be recalled to reproduce the same conditions. By arranging multiple keyframes on the time axis (timeline) and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next (keyframe effect). You can save the effect in memory (effect register) and then reproduce the same effect by recalling it from memory as required.

For details, see “Keyframes” (page 292).

Snapshots

This function saves the conditions configured for applying an effect to an image as data in memory (snapshot register) which can be recalled to reproduce the same conditions as required.

For details, see “Snapshots” (page 325).

Utility

This function is used to assign a specific action or a shortcut for a frequently used menu to a button, which can then be recalled by pressing the button.

For details, see “Utility Overview” (page 335).

Shotbox

This function is used to save any combination of snapshots or keyframe effects specified for a region in memory (shotbox register) and then recall them simultaneously as required.

For details, see “Macros” (page 343).

Copy and swap

You can copy or swap the settings between switcher banks or between keyers.

For details, see “Copy and Swap” (page 183).

File operations

You can save register data, including setup information and snapshot information, as a file on the local drive or removable drive, and recall it as required.

For details, see “Files” (page 372).

External device control

You can control the operation of external devices, such as GPI-compatible devices, P-Bus compatible devices, VTRs, and disk recorders. You can also control external devices by creating a timeline and configuring operation actions at keyframes.

For details, see “External Devices” (page 278).

Multi Program 2

This function divides a single M/E switcher bank into two (“main” and “sub”), allowing you to create images separately on each. You can set separate backgrounds, keys, and transitions for the main and sub outputs.

For details, see “Multi Program 2” (page 197).

For details, see “Shotbox Overview” (page 337).

Macros

This function is used to store a sequence of control panel operations (events) as data in memory (macro register), which you can recall to reproduce the same sequence of operations as required.

Menu macros

You can register menu operations as events.

Macro timeline

You can execute macros in sequence by registering macro recall/execute actions as keyframes on the timeline.

Setup

You perform the setup operations in the Engineering Setup menu (hereinafter called the Setup menu).

The Setup menu is separated into the following categories.
