Operator Training - Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual

Operator Training

As an option, Sony can supply operator training for your MVS switcher. This training is listed as a line-
item option in the switcher quote and, typically, is a 3-day course; however, additional days can be
purchased.
Sony has a very experienced pool of certified contract trainers who use MVS switchers daily. There are
some important guidelines when determining your training schedule:
1. Sony requires at least 30 days' notice to set up training. Many variables can affect our ability
to provide a trainer on your requested dates. In addition to your primary training dates, we
strongly recommend you have at least two alternate dates in case we are not able to
accommodate your first choice. Also note that our trainers' personal schedules are booked
months in advance. Once booked, we will do our best to accommodate any changes to your
training schedule, but we cannot guarantee availability. Changing your training dates after
booking can affect your on-air date!
2. Training is limited to no more than a total of 10 hours per day. Adding additional time to a day
may result in additional charges for training.
3. Regardless of how much training has been purchased, if the customer requests a trainer to
make two or more separate visits, additional costs will apply.
4. Unless previously arranged, it is entirely at the trainer's discretion to accept working a split shift
(for example, 5 hours in the 8a-1p time and another 5 hours in the 7p-12a time).
5. It is recommended that no more than 5 people attend each training class.
6. It is recommended that students with similar experience and skills be grouped together.
Printed operator manuals are not supplied; however a PDF version of the manual will be available and
may be distributed and printed freely.
Please contact your Sony Account Manager to arrange your operator training. Remember, a minimum
of 30 days advance notice is required.
