Overview; Bus Selection - Sony MVS-8000X User Manual

Overview

The cross-point control block and AUX bus control block
each have 36 cross-point buttons.
These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of
the banks and the control block, and a signal is assigned to
each number.
The basic signal selection process is to select, in a cross-
point button row, the cross-point button to which is
assigned the desired signal.
Re-entry buttons
Reentry buttons are assigned to the cross-point button rows
in the cross-point control block and AUX bus control
block.
Reentry buttons are used to load an image created on a
switcher bank (M/E and PGM/PST) as an input signal on
another switcher bank.

Bus Selection

Each cross-point button row is shared by multiple buses.
To assign a bus to the 1st row/2nd row cross-point buttons
in the cross-point control block, press one of the bus
delegation buttons in the cross-point Flexi Pad, turning it
on.
For example, to load the output image from the M/E-1
bank as the background B on the M/E-2 bank, press the M/
E-1 reentry button in the 4th row in the cross-point control
block of the M/E-2 bank.
Notes
• In 36-button rows, the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST
reentry buttons are assigned to buttons numbered 32 to
35.
The M/E-4 and M/E-5 reentry buttons must be assigned
in the Setup menu (see page 413).
• Re-entry buttons can also be assigned to the cross-point
Flexi Pad (see page 430).
• For a 5M/E or 6M/E system, a maximum of four reentry
stages are possible. For details about other restrictions,
see "Restrictions on color corrector and M/E
combinations" (page 186).
To assign a bus to the 3rd row/4th row cross-point buttons
in the AUX bus control block, press one of the bus
delegation buttons in the 1st row or 2nd row, turning it on.
The following table illustrates the correspondence
between buses and cross-point button rows, and the
delegation operations.
