Using The Multi-Viewer - Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual

Using the Multi-Viewer

As mentioned earlier, the MVS-X series comes with either one or two multi-viewers, depending on how
many output boards were purchased. If you would like to use the multi-viewer now instead of setting
up several monitors for testing, please read on.
On the back of the switcher chassis, the multi-viewer outputs are called MSD1 and MSD2. On the
8000X, they can be found on Slot #15. On the 7000X, they are on Slot #11. The MSD2 output only
functions if you purchased 48 outputs. We'll concentrate on the MSD1 output. Please jump to menu
page 7333.9.
This screen sets initial parameters, such as the Split Mode (4 or 10 boxes), whether output names are
superimposed on the screen and if borders are enabled between the windows. You can also use knobs
2 & 3 to adjust the position of the name titles.
Before a signal can be placed in a Multi-Viewer window, it first must be assigned to a physical output.
Also, remember that Multi-Viewer #1 can only "see" signals that come from Outputs 1-24. Multi-Viewer
#2 can only "see" signals that come from Outputs 25-48. For example, it is not possible to put Output 43
on Multi-Viewer #1. Output assignments are set on menu page 7333.1.
