DME functionality. Powerful external device interfaces By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a large system can be built. From the control panel, it is also possible to operate other equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders.
Page 23 Powerful frame memory functions In an MVS-8000 system, an HDTV system can hold 58 still image frames (88 frames in 720p/59.94 format), and an SDTV system can store 222 frames in memory, while up to eight frames can be recalled and used simultaneously.
Page 24: Video Processing Flow
Video Processing Flow The following illustration shows the flow of operations for carrying out a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank. Select current background video (page 25) Select next transition (page 32) Background Keys 1 to 4 Select new background video (page 25) Make key settings (page 46) Select transition type (page 39)
Page 25: Signal Selection
Signal Selection You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. The number of buttons in each cross-point row may be 16, 24, or 32, but here the description is of the 32-button case as an example.
Page 26: Basics Of Signal Selection
Basics of Signal Selection Each of the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block). These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number.

Page 29 In addition to the signals input to the PRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 80 connectors on the rear panel of the switcher, you can also select signals generated within the switcher. Each button has assigned to it a video signal and a key signal, forming a pair. You can set these video and key combinations in a Setup menu.
Page 30 Switching button numbers The rightmost (32nd) button functions as a shift button. (The shift button function can be disabled in a Setup menu.) When selecting the signals of button numbers 1 to 31, press the cross-point button for the desired signal. To select button numbers 32 to 62, hold down the shift button, and press the cross-point button for the desired signal.

Page 32: Transitions
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. Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition.
Page 33 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 35: Independent Key Transitions
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being “in front” as seen on the screen. Priority sequence on the screen 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.
Page 36 Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the previous illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Same wipe is applied to Transition type: wipe background and key. Effect of a common transition 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.
Page 37 Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
Page 38 Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.

Page 40 NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output.
Page 41 • You can also make a setting such that when a preset color mix is completed, the next transition switches to the previous transition type automatically. This is called “one-time mode.” When only the background is changed Current video Color matte New video Preset color mix (changing background only) When a key is inserted...
Page 42: Executing A Transition
Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern. This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. For details, see “Wipes” (page 56) and Chapter 5 “Wipes” (page 371). DME wipe Using a DME effect, it is possible to obtain a transition to a new image from the current image, as in a wipe.
Page 43: Manual Transitions
You can set the transition rate in advance. (See “Setting the Transition Rate” (page 298).) Manual transitions 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.
Page 44: Transition Preview

Page 46: Keys
Keys 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 47: 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 48 Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground.

Page 50: Key Modifiers
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 330). Wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source.
Page 51 Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key.
Page 52 Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key.
Page 53 • When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When Fine Key is on Edge fill When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects. The edge fill may be either the signal from the dedicated color matte generator, or the signal currently selected on the utility 1 bus.

mask source. When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately. When the pattern generator is selected, you can select the pattern and apply modifiers. Sub mask: This uses the wipe generator signal or the signal selected on the utility 1 bus on the M/E or PGM/PST bank, as the mask source.
Page 55: Blink
Blink The blink function provides the following effects. Key blink: The key is inserted and deleted at the specified frequency. You can also set the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the key is inserted. Edge blink: Key fill and key edge fill are interchanged at the specified frequency.
Page 56: Wipes
Wipes 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 57 Note It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 375). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows.
Page 58 Parameter settings Main pattern at 100% Start: Point in the course of the transition at which the main pattern Sub pattern at 100% is at 100% End: Point in the course of the transition at which the sub pattern is at 100% 0.00 100.00 Transition (0.00 - 100.00)
Page 59: Wipe Pattern Variation And Modifiers
Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern.
Page 60 Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions. Split off Split on The parameter Split No specifies the number of splits. The parameter Spacing specifies the spacing between adjacent patterns. Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border.
Page 61 Positioner You can move the wipe pattern to any position. Positioner off Positioner on • The parameter H Position controls the horizontal position of the pattern. A negative value moves the pattern to the left, and a positive value moves the pattern to the right.
Page 62 Speed Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates at a fixed specified speed. The parameter Speed determines the speed of pattern rotation. A value of –100.00 of the parameter Speed corresponds to one turn per second counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one turn per second clockwise.
Page 63: Aspect Ratio
Aspect ratio You can freely change the aspect ratio of the pattern. Aspect off Aspect on (a horizontal stretch) A negative value of the parameter Aspect stretches the pattern vertically; a positive value stretches the pattern horizontally. Pattern replication (“Multi”) The same pattern can be repeated horizontally and vertically or both, up to 63 times.
Page 64 1: All replications in the same orientation 2: Even-numbered rows staggered 3: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted 4: Even-numbered columns and rows inverted, and even-numbered rows staggered Pairing This slits the pattern into multiple strips, making it like a venetian blind. Pairing off Pairing on H: Create slits in the horizontal direction.
Page 65 Modulation The pattern signal can be modulated, giving waves on the horizontal or vertical edges, or radially. The parameter Shape determines the form of the modulation. 1: sine wave, 2: triangular wave, 3: rectangular wave Note When using 1080PsF mode in an HD system, the modulation function is not available.
Page 66 Fringe This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the radial direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of –100.00 generates the maximum counterclockwise speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum clockwise speed. Spring As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion.
Page 67: Wipe Snapshots
• The parameter Magnitude determines the size and direction of the spiral. A value of –100.00 represents the maximum movement in the counterclockwise direction, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum movement in the clockwise direction. • The parameter Wave Speed determines the speed of the lateral waves. A value of –100.00 represents the maximum speed to the left, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum speed to the right.
Page 68: Dme Wipes
DME Wipes 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 independent key transitions, see page 35.
Page 69 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 70 • Note that for an independent key transition, only the Slide, Split, Squeeze, Door, Frame in-out, and user programmable DME patterns are available. User programmable DME in transition mode For the transition mode set when creating a keyframe effect for a user programmable DME pattern, the following can be used.
Page 71 • Example of the image change in the transition mode “Compress” First stroke Second stroke Transition mode “frame in-out” In this mode, when the first transition has completed, you can move the image with the positioner in both horizontal and vertical directions, but the image position at the transition start point and end point does not change.

Page 75: Relation Between Dme Wipes And Other Effects
In the case of a user programmable DME pattern in which a border has already been applied to the effect, the behavior is as follows. • When the DME wipe border setting is on, only part of the border applied in the effect is enabled, and that portion can be adjusted.
Page 76: Dme Wipe Snapshots
Relation to ordinary wipes • DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore, during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask. •...

Page 78: Frame Memory
Frame memory is a function whereby a frame of input video can be frozen and written to memory, for further use as material for editing. In an MVS-8000 HD system the maximum number of image frames that can be written to memory is 58 (88 frames in 720p/59.94 format), and in an SD system a maximum of 222 frames.
Page 79: Frame Memory Functions
applies to the other pairs. When a pair of images are captured in pair mode, the image frozen in FM1 (3, 5, or 7) is referred to as the main file and the other frozen in FM2 (4, 6, or 8) is referred to as the sub file. Operation modes The frame memory has the following operation mode.
Page 80 Note When the system is powered off, any freeze images written to temporary memory are lost. Saving an image (store) You can save an image in temporary memory which has been placed with the freeze function as a file in memory. You can save a single image in a single file and apply a name of up to eight characters to the file.
Page 81: Image Output
Image output Moving the output image (reposition function) For up to two channels of FM1 to FM8 (one from FM1, FM3, FM5 and FM7 and the other from FM2, FM4, FM6 and FM8), you can move the output image with respect to the screen. The area of the screen around the image that has been moved is filled with black.
Page 82: Image Data Management
• To execute the effect, you must assign the user region to which FM1 is assigned to a region selection button in the numeric keypad control block. (For details of assigning to region selection buttons in the numeric keypad control block, see “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).) In the Frame Memory menu, effect creation follows the image file names.

Page 84: Color Backgrounds
Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations (“color mix”) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2.

Page 96: Three-Dimensional Transformations
Note When using the SDI interface, the following operations are different from when uing the dedicated interface. • Setting the input signals from the switcher to the MVE-9000 (AUX bus outputs), and signals returned to the switcher as primary inputs (reentry inputs).
Page 97 Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Source coordinate space and target coordinate space For example, as shown in the following figure, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the x-axis of the target coordinate space.
Page 98 Rotation around y-axis in local coordinate space Rotation around y-axis in global coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space Three-dimensional parameters Three-dimensional parameters are x, y, and z values which define the position of an image, its axis of rotation, the position of an imaginary point of view on the image, and so on.

Page 101 Detents The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the three- dimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points. (For details, see “Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations” in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each transformation operation mode (see page 102).
Page 102: Transformation Operation Modes
Resetting of parameter values set in the source coordinate space In some transformation operation modes, if you switch to the target coordinate space after setting up a three-dimensional transformation in the source coordinate space, the setting values in the source coordinate space (three- dimensional parameter values) are converted to values in the target coordinate space (source/target conversion).
Page 103 Image movement in the target coordinate space Movement on the x-axis Movement on the y-axis Movement on the z-axis Rotation Rotates the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space.

Page 150: Regions And Registers
Regions and Registers Regions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously.
Page 151: Registers
Reference region When multiple regions are selected, only one region appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad operations. This is called the “reference region.” The reference region is determined according to the following precedence. M/E1 >M/E2 >M/E3 >P/P >USER1 > USER2 > USER3 > USER4 >USER5 >...
Page 152 [DME1] and [DME2]. Similarly, for registers in the 300 range, select three consecutive registers. Work register This is a temporary register used when editing keyframes. When you recall an effect, it is read from the effect register into the work register, and when you save, the contents of the work register are written to the effect register.
Page 153: Keyframes
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Effects By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next.
Page 154: Saving And Recalling Effects
Saving and Recalling Effects To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes.
Page 155 You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes. Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 157). Modify: Modify a keyframe.
Page 156: Time Settings
Difference in the effect of a paste operation Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position. Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position. Transition mode You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the switcher.
Page 157 The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes. Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of the inserted keyframe. •...
Page 158 Changes in the effect duration caused by deleting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. • When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe.
Page 159: Paths
Delay setting You can set the delay from the time of executing an operation to run the effect, and the effect actually starting (that is, the delay until the first keyframe). You can make this setting in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Note that changing the delay does not alter the duration of the effect.

Page 167: Snapshots
Snapshots The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block, the Flexi Pad control block in each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks, and the Snapshot menu.
Page 168: Snapshot Attributes
Snapshot Attributes An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled. These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. Types of attribute There are five snapshot attributes, as follows.
Page 169 Attribute Region M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, and USER 1 to USER 8 DME 1 to DME 8 PGM/PST Key disable Effect dissolve Auto transition GPI outputs Attribute display You can view the attributes of a snapshot in the Snapshot menu. For more details, see “Snapshot Operations in the Menus” in Chapter 14 (Volume 2).
Page 170: Utility
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. The functions you can assign include menu shortcuts, enabling/disabling functions (recalling utility commands), and recalling (shotbox registers or macro registers).
Page 171: Shotbox
Shotbox The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be recalled simultaneously. The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names, snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored in “registers.” There are 99 registers for each control panel.
Page 172: Setup
Setup Overview of 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 173 Operation mode setting • Single Proc mode: The control panel controls a single switcher and up to two DMEs. • Single Simul mode: See “Special system setting (Single Processor Simul mode)” (page 173). • Dual Simul mode: The control panel controls two switchers and DMEs simultaneously.

Macro being edited (register 2) Newly recalled macro (register 1) Copy contents of register 1 and add after current event (register 2). Contents of register 1 remain unchanged. Macro Execution To execute a macro, recall the register in which the macro is held.
Page 199: Macro Editing Using Menus
Step execution (requires a Setup menu setting) By selecting step execution mode in the Setup menu, you can make macro execution pause every time an event is executed. Take operation When a paused macro is restarted, this is referred to as a “Take” operation. Macro take operation using a GPI input You can carry out a macro take operation using a GPI input on the control panel and DCU.
Page 200: Macro Attachment
You can also create a new macro. 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.
