A Note On Using 8 Keyers - Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual

Finally, the example above shows having only one physical boards installed in the chassis but having a 4
M/E control panel. In this case, each of the available boards has been divided into two logical M/E
partitions. Each M/E in this scenario will have 2 keyers.
Please note that a single M/E board being split into more than 2 partitions (3 M/E or 4 M/E mode) is
contingent upon only a single physical M/E board being installed in the chassis.
After you make any changes to the M/E modes, you will need to press the EXECUTE button, which will
cause a system reboot.

A Note on using 8 Keyers

Sony control panels, by default, are shipped from the factory programmed and labeled for four keyers
per M/E. If you are running any M/E's that have 8 keyers you will not be able to control keys 5-8 until
the switcher is properly programmed and the panel's button labels have been updated. Details on how
to change control panel buttons and their underlying function are beyond the scope of this document
but can be found in the user guide. Your Install Check-Out (ICO) technician or your operator trainer can
also assist you in making these panel changes.
