Page 18: Introduction
Introduction This manual is the User’s Guide for the MVS-8000/8000SF Multi Format Switcher system. The MVS-8000 and MVS-8000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, but are otherwise functionally identical. This manual refers to these generically as the “MVS-8000 system,” and describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-9000 series of center control panels.
Page 19 Where there are differences among the MVS-8000/8000SF system, MVS-8000A/8000ASF system, and MVS-8000G/8000GSF system, these may be noted specifically in the relevant place. System nomenclature The following terms are used for systems, depending on the combination of installed options, and the signal format.

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 22 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 23: 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 23) Select next transition (page 30) Background Keys 1 to 4 Select new background video (page 23) Make key settings (page 44) Select transition type (page 37)
Page 24: Signal Selection
Signal Selection You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of the M/E bank or PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. Source name displays Key row XPT HOLD button Key delegation buttons SHIFT button DSK1...
Page 25: Bus Selection
The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the cross- point button to which is assigned the desired signal. Bus Selection The key row is shared by multiple buses. To assign a bus to the cross-point buttons in the auxiliary bus control block, press one of the AUX delegation buttons to select the bus.

Page 29 Inhibiting cross-point button operations For each cross-point button, you can temporarily inhibit operations. Note This setting is cleared when you reset the control panel. Assigning a button to the function of disabling cross-point button operation You can assign the button to be used for the operation to a user preference button, in setup.
Page 30: Signal Name Display
For details of the setting, see Chapter 16, “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign menu)” (Volume 2). Note • For details of audio mixers that can be connected, contact your Sony service or sales representative. • When the signal is switched with a snapshot, keyframe, and so on, the audio mixer is not linked.
Page 31: 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 32 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 34: 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 35 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 36 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 37 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 38: Transition Types
Example 1: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Common transition Independent key The transition (wipe) start transition (mix) completes with the start key deleted. Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Independent Common The transition...
Page 39 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 40 Note When the bus fixed mode is selected with a Setup menu setting, a preset color mix is always carried out in the one-stroke mode. • 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.
Page 41: Executing A Transition
When, with a key inserted, a key is selected in the next transition Key state preserved Key gradually removed Preset color mix (when set to preserve key state) Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern.
Page 42 It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition. By combining common transitions with independent key transitions, different transition types can be applied to the background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe combined with a background dissolve.
Page 43 Flip-flop mode BLACK BLACK Bus fixed mode BLACK Fader lever BLACK Buttons lit BLACK BLACK Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode For details of fader lever operation in bus fixed mode, see page 324. Transition preview With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance.
Page 44 • When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and B buses do not interchange.
Page 45: 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 46 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 47 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 49: Key Modifiers
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 336). 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 50 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 51 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 52 • When the edge type is border, outline, or emboss • When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When Fine Key is on To fix key fill / key source in key drop off mode In the Edge menu, switch frame delay mode on (see page 347).

• Clean mode For details, see “Returning the key adjustment values to their defaults” (page 371). For the menu operation to return the key adjustment values to their defaults, see “Returning to default state in function groupings” (page 289). Key Modify Clear A simple button operation or a menu operation returns the key settings to the initial status settings.
Page 56 Relation between resizer and other effects You cannot apply DME effects to a key for which the resizer function is enabled. When one of the three functions – resizer, DME wipe and DME effects – is enabled, the other two are disabled. Keys...
Page 57: 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 58: Pattern Mix
Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and “sub”). Note It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 392). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows.
Page 59 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 60: 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 61 Direction You can specify the direction of the wipe: the regular direction is referred to as “normal,” and the other direction as “reverse.” You can also select alternating directions each time the transition is completed (normal/reverse mode). Reverse Normal Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions.
Page 62 Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border. In an independent key transition, only the “Soft” setting is available. Soft border Soft Border Border: You can adjust the border width. Soft: You can adjust the edge softness. Soft border: You can adjust the border width, and the softness of the inner and outer edges of the border.
Page 63 Angle This carries out a wipe with the pattern in a fixed angle. Angle off Angle on The parameter Angle determines the angle of pattern rotation. A value of –100.00 of the parameter Angle corresponds to one whole turn counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one whole turn clockwise.
Page 64 The parameter Angle determines an angle of pattern inclination at the beginning of the transition. • A value of –100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn counterclockwise. • A value of +100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn clockwise.
Page 65 • The parameter H Multi determines the number of pattern replications horizontally, and the parameter V Multi determines the number of pattern replications vertically. • The parameter Shift determines the manner of replication. At a value of –100.00, the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the left lines up with the central coordinate horizontally.
Page 66 the right, and the odd-numbered pairs move to the left. The value +100.00 represents the maximum movement. • The parameter V Offset determines the spacing in the vertical direction. If a negative value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move upward, and the odd-numbered pairs move downward.
Page 67 Vertical modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the vertical direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of –100.00 generates the maximum leftward speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum rightward speed. Fringe This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the radial direction to edges.
Page 68: Wipe Snapshots
A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive value produces barrel distortion. Spiral This deforms the pattern spirally. Spiral off Spiral on • 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.
Page 69: 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 33.
Page 70 Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (two- channel mode)) 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)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap.
Page 71 Picture-in-picture: The one-channel mode and two-channel mode differ as follows. In one-channel mode, this completes in two transitions. In the first transition, the old video shrinks, and the new video appears behind it. In the second transition, the old video expands again until it is its original size.
Page 72 In three-channel mode, a brick appears over the old video as the image is expanding and rotating, and switches to the new video. (Pattern number: 3601 (three-channel mode)) User programmable DME: Using a DME keyframe effect created with a keyframe operation, this executes a DME wipe. (Pattern numbers: 1901 to 1999 (one-channel mode), 2901 to 2999 (two- channel mode), 3901 to 3999 (three-channel mode)) For details of creating keyframe effects, see “Creating User...

DME Wipe Modify Clear By a simple operation, you can return the DME wipe state to that set in initial status. For details of the menu operation to return the DME wipe state to that set in initial status, see “Returning to default state in function groupings” (page 289).
Page 81: Frame Memory
You can also play recorded frame memory clips (movies). Frame capacity The maximum number of images that can be written to memory is as follows. MVS-8000 system HD system: 58 frames (88 frames in 720P/59.94 format) SD system: 222 frames...
Page 82 When two boards are installed, the figures are doubled, but of the two boards only one can be used for frame memory clips. Note that for the MVS-8000/8000SF, MVS-8000ASF and MVS-8000GSF, it is not possible to install two frame memory boards.
Page 83 About extended clips When two frame memory boards (MKS-8440A for the MVS-8000A, MKS- 8442G for the MVS-8000G) are installed, one is dedicated to clips. Such clips held in a frame memory board are called “extended clips.” Use of frame memory There are eight frame memory channels, FM1 to FM8, and each channel independently allows a freeze image to be saved or recalled.

Separate: You can also separate a pair file into two single still image files or clip files. Note This function is not supported on the MVS-8000. Image Data Transfer Files, including ancillary data, can be transferred between such devices as a hard disk and memory card.
Page 91 Notes on transferring multiple still images together • Transferring all of the still image files within frame memory together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete still images until saving is possible.
Page 92: External Hard Disk Drive Access
External Hard Disk Drive Access In an MVS-8000A system and MVS-8000G system, you can connect a hard disk drive to the IEEE1394 port of the switcher processor, to carry out the following operations. Format: Format the hard disk. Backup: Batch saving of files from frame memory to the hard disk. Restore: Restoring frame memory from files saved on the hard disk.
Page 93: 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 161: 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 162: 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 >P/P >User1 >User2 >User3 >User4 >User5 >User6 > User7 >User8 >DME ch1 >DME ch2 >DME ch3 >DME ch4 >Device1 >Device2 >Device3 >Device4 >Device5 >Device6 >Device7 >Device8 >Device9 >Device10 >Device11 >Device12 >P-Bus >GPI >Router...
Page 163 200 range, select two consecutive channels for the regions, as for example [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 164: 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 165: 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 166 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 167). Modify: Modify a keyframe.
Page 167: 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 168 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 169 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 170: 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.

To invert the black and white sense of the key source: Press [Key Invert], turning it on. To adjust the horizontal position or key source width for a luminance key, linear key, or chroma key: Press [Key Position], turning it on, and set the parameters.
Page 337: Chroma Key Adjustments
When using an additive mix for chroma keying, the (typically blue) background parts of the foreground video must be converted to black. For this, use the color cancel function (see page 337). Using the plane function In an additive mix, since no key is applied to the foreground, any variations in the (typically blue) background may appear in the composite image.
