multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal
features of these systems.
System configuration flexibility
Multiformat support

The format selection can be switched by a simple control
panel operation.
Extensible system configuration
The MVS-6520/6530/3000A supports 2-channel DME

of DME functionality.
The MVS-3000 can be connected to an MVE-8000A or
MVE-9000 for a maximum of four channels of DME
functionality.
Powerful external device interfaces
By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a
large system can be built. It is also possible to operate other
equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders, from a
DCU or switcher via a 9-pin serial port.
Powerful tally system
The complete system, including the routing switcher,
provides an all-inclusive tally system. The system can be
adapted to different applications and settings using
multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording
tallies.
Format converter board mounting support
An optional MKS-6550 format converter can be installed
in the switcher to provide up-conversion, down-
conversion, and cross-conversion functions when
importing/exporting signals.
8-input/0-output or 4-input/2-output groupings are
supported.
Large-capacity data storage
The control panel is equipped with a flash memory drive
(called "local disk") as standard for storing parameter data,
switcher frame memory static images and other material.
USB-compatible storage devices (called "removable
disks") can also be connected to the control panel for
storing data.
Comprehensive video manipulation
M/E banks
Each M/E (mix/effects) bank and PGM/PST (program/
preset) bank is equipped with four keyers, and each keyer
capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent
transitions separate from the background transitions.
Also, the MVS-6530 supports eight keyers in the PGM/
PST rows.
Powerful frame memory functions
The frame memory can hold approximately 1000 frames in
an HD system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94
format), approximately 5000 frames in an SD system in
480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in 576i/
50 format, and allows eight frames to be recalled
simultaneously.
Seamless DME operation with the switcher
The MVS-6520/6530/3000A supports a wide range of
DME functions using the MKS-6570, including DME
wipes and processed key functions as part of the standard
switcher functions.
Multi viewer function

standard, for displaying a window split into four, ten, or
sixteen subwindows.
Designed for use in a live broadcasting
environment
High-performance user interface
• The menu panel provides a large color LCD panel, with
rapid touch-panel menu selection.
You can also operate the menus via a DVI-connected
monitor (or touch panel) and mouse.
• The cross-point control block uses an organic EL display
with high visibility for the source name display.
• The buttons in the Multifunction Flexi Pad (hereinafter
called "Flexi Pad") and ICP-6520/6530 transition
control blocks use color backlit LCD displays. The
signal names, and graphical representations of the
patterns associated with buttons provide intuitive
feedback, and allow the immediate decisions that are
required in a live operating environment.
Rearrangeable M/E rows
On the ICP-6520/6530, the M/E rows can be rearranged
depending on the control panel buttons.
This allows a flexible layout appropriate to the system
operation.
Backup power supply
Equipped with two backup power supplies, as standard.
This alleviates the risk of power supply problems for
improved reliability during live operations.
