Page 18: 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 19 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 21: 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 22: 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: transition type: the background and key transitions.
Page 23: 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. Resizer This function allows you to apply effects, similar to a DME, such as zoom, movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key.
Page 24: 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. Resizer DME wipes Using the resizer, you can carry out key DME wipes. For details, see Chapter 6 “DME Wipes” (page 221). Frame Memory Frame memory is a function for using a still image or video (frame memory clip) as material for editing.
Page 25: Video Process
For details, see “Copy and Swap” (page 312). 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 26: Simple P/P Software
Side flag area For details, see “Side Flags” (page 352). Simple P/P Software By installing the BZS-6250 Simple P/P Software in the MVS-6000 Switcher Processor, you can use a separate program/preset function without using the M/ E hardware. For details, see “Simple P/P Software” (page 357).
Page 27: 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 28: 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 29: 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 30: 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 31: 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 32: 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 119: 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 120: 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 121 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.

• Enter a value of up to three digits. • To clear the entry, press the [CLR] button. Press the [ENTER] button. This confirms the entry, and the selected region name and the set transition rate appear in the numeric keypad control block display. The transition control block display of the same bank (M/E or PGM/PST) also shows the setting.
Page 123 • When the limit value is set to 50%, the effect at the end of the transition is the same as when the fader lever is at the center position in the normal case (with the pattern limit function disabled); the wipe pattern does not complete. •...
Page 124 Press the [LIMIT SET] button. This sets the current fader lever position as the pattern limit. Setting the pattern limit by a menu operation When a wipe is selected as the transition type, in the M/E or PGM/PST menu, select first VF5 ‘Wipe,’ then HF4 ‘Edge/Direction.’ When a DME wipe is selected as the transition type, in the M/E or PGM/ PST menu, select first VF6 ‘DME Wipe,’...
Page 125 Press the [PTN LIMIT] button. The button you pressed lights green. Carry out the transition. The [PTN LIMIT] button goes off, and the pattern limit state is released. Depending on the way in which the transition was executed, the action will be as follows.

Page 127: 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 128: 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 129 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 130 • If as a result of an auto transition, for example, the fader lever position does not agree with the signal output, this is a non-sync state (see page 127) and 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 131: Transition Preview
Transition Preview With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block.

Page 133: 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 134 When the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously. The key is deleted, Wipe and mix even if the (dissolve) are independent key carried out transition has not simultaneously. completed. Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions Inserting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key not inserted, it is inserted simultaneously with the two transitions.

Page 141: Overview
Overview A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.”...
Page 142: Chroma Key
Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector key, you can enable the clean mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the background. This improves the keyed image quality, but means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be inserted must be completely black, or it will color the background.
Page 143: Key Modifiers
Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source. Note on wipe pattern modifiers In a key wipe pattern key, you can apply various modifications, depending on the pattern used, and the modifiers in common with a wipe. However, modifiers which relate to the wipe direction and edge are not reflected.
Page 144 Name Effect Image Drop This applies a border below and to the right border for example, of the key. You can adjust the border width, position, and density. Shadow This applies a shadow below and to the right for example, of the key. You can adjust the shadow width, position, and density.
Page 145 The key edge modification function has two modes: a mode (“key drop ON mode”) in which the key fill/key source position moves downward, and a mode (“key drop OFF mode”) in which it does not move downward. Key drop ON mode: The key fill/key source position moves downward by eight scan lines or four scan lines.
Page 146: Key Memory
For details of masking operations, see “Masks” (pages 167 and 183). Key mask and background mask There are two types of mask: a key mask and a background mask. Key mask: This masks out a part of the key, which will result in the background appearing.
Page 147: Key Default
For the settings for these modes, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes, Frame Memory and Color Correction (Key/Wipe/FM/CCR Menu)” in Chapter 20 (Volume 3). Key Default With a simple operation you can return the key adjustment values to their defaults. The adjustment values which can be returned to their default values are as follows.

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.

Page 222: Overview
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 133.
Page 223 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)) Door: The new video moves like a door closing, and progressively covers the old video.
Page 224 Mosaic: In the first half of the transition, a mosaic is gradually applied to the old video, then at the 50% point the inner image changes to the new video. In the second half, the mosaic effect on the new video is gradually reduced, returning to the original image at 100%.
Page 225 The operation is carried out according to DME wipe patterns 1202, 1203, or 1204. • Frame in-out V (Frame I/O V): a type of frame in-out mode, which is specified when creating a transition effect in the vertical direction. The image movement is reflected at both the transition start point and end point.
