Features

The MVS-8000X/7000X Multi Format Switcher system
boasts extensible high performance and multi-
functionality. The following are some of the principal
features of this system.
System configuration flexibility
Multiformat support
This system supports both HDTV and SDTV signal
formats.
The format selection can be switched by a simple control
panel operation.
Extensible system configuration
By suitable combination of options, the switcher can be
configured with various inputs and outputs, and different
numbers of M/E banks. The system offers the flexibility to
change and expand as required.
You can connect up to two MVE-8000A or MVE-9000
DME processors, to provide up to eight channels of DME
functionality. When the signal format is 1080P, you can
connect up to four MVE-8000A units.
For the MVS-7000X, by installing the optional MKS-
7470X/7471X DME board set, up to four channels of
DME functionality are available.
You can use a maximum of eight channels of DME
functionality in the whole switcher system.
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.
Powerful tally system
The complete system, including a routing switcher, can be
used to construct a tally system. The system can be adapted
to different applications and settings using multiple tally
outputs, including both on-air and recording tallies.
Comprehensive video manipulation
M/E banks
Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped with eight
keyers, each of which is capable not only of chroma
keying, but also independent key transitions separate from
background transitions. The eight keys can be freely
combined, to carry out four different program outputs.
Powerful frame memory functions
The frame memory can hold approximately 1000 frames in
an HD system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94
format), or approximately 5000 frames in an SD system in
480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in 576i/
50 format, and allows eight frames (four frames in 1080P
format) to be recalled simultaneously.
Link operation with DME
You can use a wide range of DME functions, including
DME wipes and processed key functions, as though they
were part of the standard switcher function set.
Designed for use in a live broadcasting
environment
Flexible control panel layout
Because of its modular design, the various sections of the
control panel can be laid out as required. This allows a
flexible layout appropriate to the system operation.
High-performance user interface
The menu panel provides a large color LCD panel, with
rapid touch-panel menu selection.
The buttons in the cross-point Flexi Pad, Flexi Pad control
block, and utility/shotbox control block have LCD
displays. The functions names, status, wipe patterns, etc.
have graphical representations that provide intuitive
feedback, and aid immediate decision making required in
a live operating environment.
