Multi Program 2
Overview
What is Multi Program 2?
By operating the switcher in Multi Program 2 mode, a
single switcher mix/effects bank can be used to create two
separate video outputs, referred to as "main" and "sub."
You can set backgrounds, keys, and transitions for each of
main and sub. Keys 2 to 8, however, are common to main
and sub.
Notes
To enable this function requires the BZS-8200X (for the
MVS-8000X) or BZS-7200X (for the MVS-7000X) Multi
Program 2 software.
Using the software
To use the Multi Program 2 software, you are required to
enter an install key which validates the software. If the
software has been factory installed, the install key is not
required.
For the method of obtaining an install key, contact your
Sony representative.
To obtain a key, you may be required to submit the unique
device ID of the switcher you are using. You can check the
unique device ID in the Install menu of the switcher.
For details of the operation, see "Installation and Device
Setup (Install/Unit Config Menu)" in Chapter 18
(Volume 2).
Assigning main and/or sub to switcher
banks
For Multi Program 2 operations, a single switcher bank
may be shared, and switched between main and sub, or two
separate switcher banks may be used, each dedicated to
main or sub.
Example 1: Assigning M/E-1 main and sub to a single
switcher bank, and switching between them
Used switched between M/E-1 main and sub
Example 2: Assigning separate switcher banks as "M/E-1
main dedicated" and "M/E-1 sub dedicated"
Used for M/E-1 main operations
Used for M/E-1 sub operations
Video creation operations in Multi Program
2 mode
For each of main and sub, there are differences from the
operations in standard mode.
For details, see "Differences between Multi Program 2
Mode and Standard Mode" (page 259).
