Page 24: Introduction
DVS-9000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, but are otherwise functionally identical. This manual refers to these generically as the “DVS-9000 system,” and describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-9000 series of center control panels.
Page 25: Related Manuals
System configuration and features Term for system A system in which the center control panel has 2M/E system two M/E banks A system in which the center control panel has 1M/E system one M/E bank Related manuals The following manuals are supplied with the individual products of the DVS- 9000 Production Switcher system.

DME functionality. 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.
Page 27 Powerful frame memory functions The frame memory can store 444 frames, and up to eight of these can be recalled simultaneously. Link operation with DME Using the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set (option), a range of DME functions including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher functions.
Page 28: Basic Video Processing
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.
Page 29 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. Key 1 Insert Delete...
Page 30 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Transition Key 2 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Key 1 Transition Key 2 Key 4...
Page 31: Independent Key Transitions
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.
Page 32: Keys
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 Independent key Transition type: the background and key transitions. transition type: wipe wipe...
Page 33: Wipes
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. Wipes A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern.
Page 34: Frame Memory
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern position, applying various changes and modifiers to the selected DME wipe pattern. For details, see Chapter 6 “DME Wipes” (page 233). Frame Memory Frame memory is a function for using a still image or video (frame memory clip) as material for editing.
Page 35: Video Process
Video Process The term “video process” is applied to adjustments to the gain, hue, black level of the input video signal. There are two types of adjustment; adjustment of an individual primary input signal and adjustment as image effects on a particular For details, see “Video Process”...
Page 36: Creation Of Special Effects And Management Of Data And Operations
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.
Page 37: External Devices
• 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.
Page 38: Snapshots
The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown. Background A Interpolated images Background B Keyframe 1 Keyframe 2 Keyframe 3 Effect execution Example of keyframes and effect execution You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register.
Page 39: Utility
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). 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.
Page 40: Files
Macro attachment Macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
Page 41: Setup
Setup Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu.

Page 127: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition.
Page 128: Setting The Transition Rate
For example, in the previous illustration, it can be seen that the transition is more than half completed. When the transition is completed, all of the LEDs go off. Setting the Transition Rate There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Page 129 Frame display mode: Values are shown as from 0 to 999 frames. In this display mode, a value entered in timecode input mode is converted for display as a number of frames. Timecode display mode: Values are shown as timecode values, consisting of seconds and frames.

Page 135: Executing A Transition With The Fader Lever (Manual Transition)
Executing a Transition With the Fader Lever (Manual Transition) Using the fader lever, you can manually control the progress of the transition. Moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other completes the transition. To execute a manual transition with the transition control block fader lever, use the following procedure.
Page 136: Fader Lever Operation In Bus Fixed Mode
In a non-sync state, two lit LEDs indicate the position from which a normal transition can be carried out. This is either at one end position or both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit LEDs does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 137 background output is always from the background A bus. This is called “flip- flop mode.” The alternative is known as “bus fixed mode,” in which there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.
Page 138 LEDs light at both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 139: Transition Preview

Page 141: Independent Key Transitions
Independent Key Transitions What is an independent key transition? 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.

Page 200: Overview
Overview 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.
Page 201: Basic Procedure For Wipe Settings
Basic Procedure for Wipe Settings You carry out wipe setting operations principally using the Wipe menu for each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks.

Overview A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. For details of independent key transitions, see page 141.
Page 235 Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (two- channel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it. (Pattern numbers: 1021 to 1031 (one-channel mode), 2621 to 2628 (two- channel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap.
Page 236 Picture-in-picture: The one-channel mode and two-channel mode differ as follows. In one-channel mode, this completes in two transitions. In the first transition, the old video shrinks, and the new video appears behind it. In the second transition, the old video expands again until it is its original size.
Page 237 In three-channel mode, a brick appears over the old video as the image is expanding and rotating, and switches to the new video.

Page 411: Dme
DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects. You can use up to four channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
Page 412: Three-Dimensional Transformations
– “Setting the Interface Between the DME and the Switcher” (see Chapter 16 (Volume 3)) – “Setting the AUX Bus Output and Reentry input” (see Chapter 20 (Volume • On the MVE-9000, the method of combiner channel selection is different from that on the BKDS-9470.
Page 413 For example, as shown in the following figure, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the x-axis of the target coordinate space. Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Movement along the x-axes of the source coordinate space and target coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space...
Page 414 The standard values of parameters are as follows, depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor (4:3 or 16:9). Values for 4:3 mode • Origin at center of image (source coordinate space) or center of monitor (target coordinate space) x = 0.00, y = 0.00, z = 0.00 •...

Page 417: Transformation Operation Modes
Source/target conversion occurs in the following operation modes: • Location XYZ • Rotation Transformation Operation Modes The following operation modes are available for three-dimensional DME transformations. These operations are carried out in the device control block (trackball or joystick). (For details, see “Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations”...
Page 418 Image rotation in the source coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Image rotation in the target coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Spin When rotating the image in Rotation mode, it may not always be possible to achieve the kind of rotation around an axis that you want.
Page 419 Location Size Changes the size of the whole image. • Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the source coordinate space is done in three-dimensional space, magnifying the image emphasizes the sense of perspective. • Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the target coordinate space is a conversion of the two-dimensional image displayed on the monitor, shrinking and magnification does not change the shape of the image.
Page 420: Graphics Display
Perspective In the target coordinate space, changes the perspective on the image by changing an imaginary view point, without changing the position of the image. The x-axis and y-axis values define the position of the view point. The z-axis value defines its distance from the image. Change of view point on Change of view point on Change of distance from...
Page 421 Wire frames A wire frame displays an image enclosed in a frames, so that you can check the position and size of the image. If there is a shadow (see page 572), a frame is shown for the shadow as well. Coordinate axes This is a three-dimensional display of coordinates in local or global coordinate space.
Page 422 –4 –3 –2 –1 0 +1 +2 +3 +4 –1 –2 –3 Grid (4:3 mode) Shrinking the graphics display You can shrink the graphics display so that you can see beyond the range displayed on the normal monitor screen. This makes it possible to visually set the location of images in a larger space.
Page 423: Three-Dimensional Parameter Display
Three-Dimensional Parameter Display You can display a three-dimensional parameter list for the currently controlled image. When more than one DME channel is selected, the status of the reference channel is displayed.

The following settings can be made for the shadow. • The signal to use for the shadow - External: Generate shadow using input key signal. - Internal: Generate shadow using an internally generated, full-size DME key signal.
Page 439 Effects for entire image Name Effect/Image Defocus Defocuses the whole image. The degree of defocusing can be set (See page 476.) simultaneously or separately for video and key signals. (However, when the DME dedicated interface is used, the degree of defocusing can be set for video signals only.) You can also cancel the black level leaking that occurs at the edge of the screen when the Defocus effect is used.
Page 440 Name Effect/Image Nega Reverses the luminance or chroma of the image. (See page 484.) Contrast Changes the contrast of the luminance and chroma of the image. (See page 484.) Mosaic Divides the image into small tiles so that it looks like a mosaic. You can (See page 485.) specify the size and aspect ratio of the tiles.
Page 441 Name Effect/Image Sketch Provides a sketch-like effect based on the outlines of the image, using (See page 486.) different touches such as sketch, edge color, drawing, relief, and sharp. SKETCH Metal Provides a metallic gloss like that from gold, silver, or a rainbow colored (See page 488.) surface.
Page 442 Freeze effects Freezes the input video. The video can also be freezed at a specified interval (see page 494). Nonlinear effects Name Effect/Image Wave Produces a wave-like effect in the image. (See page 496.) Mosaic Glass Makes the image rougher and finer at a (See page 501.) specified interval.

Page 617: Regions
Regions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously. Classification of the regions The regions are classified as follows.
Page 618 outputs. The settings made for frame memory images in the Freeze menu, Composite menu or other menus do not apply to snapshots or keyframes. • To reproduce a frame memory still image or a clip of them by recalling a snapshot or keyframe, you must have the same images that were present in the frame memory when you saved the snapshot or keyframe.
Page 619: Registers
Registers A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a snapshot, keyframe, macro, and so on. For details of macros, see “Macros” (page 721). Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99.
Page 620 Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region. Master snapshot registers There are 99 master snapshot registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store snapshot regions and the register numbers saved in the regions.
Page 621: Keyframes
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Effects 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.
Page 622: Effect Editing
These conditions are called “attributes” of the effect, and can be added when the keyframe effect is saved or recalled. Type of attribute The attribute that can be attached to an effect is as follows. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the effect recall to the state at the effect start point is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve.
Page 623: Time Settings
Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Creating and Editing Keyframes” (page 646).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration. Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration.
Page 624 Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Setting the Keyframe Duration” (page 659).) In constant duration mode (see page 623), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Page 625 Note In constant duration mode (see page 623), the duration of the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Insertion position Change in effect duration Insertion before the first keyframe...
Page 626 Note In constant duration mode (see page 623), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Deletion position Change in effect duration Deletion of the first keyframe Deletion of an intermediate keyframe...
Page 627: Paths
Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. Images are interpolated from an edit point to the next one according to the path setting. For details of the path setting procedure, see “Path Setting” (page 662). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu.

Effect Execution By using the [RUN] button in the keyframe control block, you can replay the effect as a continuous sequence of images. This is referred to as effect execution. Range of execution Each time the [RUN] button is pressed, the range of execution of the effect is from timecode 01:00:00:00 or the current time (the position at which the current effect is stopped) to the end point of the effect.

Page 776: Overview Of File Operations
Overview of File Operations You can save register data, including setup information and snapshot information, as a file on a hard disk or memory card, and recall it as required. You can operate on individual files or registers, or together in a batch. Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image data stored in an external device into frame memory.
Page 777 Notes on transferring multiple frame memory files together to a memory card • Transferring all of the files within frame memory together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete files until saving is possible.
Page 778 Note This functionality has been tested and confirmed to work with TIFF files created by Photoshop, but it may not be possible to use TIFF files created with some other software. (Photoshop is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.) About import image size Pay attention to the following, depending on the signal format which you use.
