Sony MVS -8000X Quick Setup Manual page 55

You can see now we have two tables. Notice the Arrow in the middle between the two tables. This type
of "flow" is repeated all over the MVS menu. It's simply saying that whatever you choose on the right
table will make its way into the left table. In this case, the right table as all the sources that can be
assigned to a physical output.
There are two types of output signals: Re-Entry Sources and Aux Buses. Re-Entry sources are signals
that have been created or modified inside the switcher. These would be things like "P/P PGM1" or "P/P
PVW", etc. Aux Buses are the output of the 48 internal Aux Buses in an MVS system. Every MVS system,
no matter how large or small, has 48 Aux Buses. You just have to have purchased enough outputs to get
them out of the switcher. In fact, there are WAY more signals floating around the switcher than you
would ever have outputs. It's analogous to a 512x128, fully populated, routing switcher. You may have
512 inputs to your router but you can only get 128 out at a time. A switcher works a lot like that.
As mentioned in the beginning of this document, there are factory defaults to outputs. For instance, if
nothing has been changed you'll see that OUT 7 will be P/P PGM1, which is PGM by default. To make
things easier, you could just ensure that you connected your monitor to Output 7 on the back of the
switcher. If, however, you wanted your program monitor on OUT12, just select "RE-Entry Source" at
the bottom, then scroll the right table to find "P/P PGM1" then scroll the left table until Out 12 is
highlighted, then press the Purple SET button and now OUT12 is showing "program".
