Resource assignment
The following resources are subdivided and assigned to
each logical switcher.
Resource
Inputs
Outputs
Switcher banks (M/E boards)
DMEs (DME boards)
Frame memory sources
Frame memory outputs
Color backgrounds
b)
Internal format converters
a)
Multi viewer outputs
Multi viewers
a) XVS-9000 only
b) XVS-8000/7000/6000 only
c) 12 outputs (excluding format converter output connectors and spare
connectors)
The following resources can be configured for sharing on
logical switchers 1 and 2.
• Inputs
• Frame memory outputs: Sharing is supported only when
the signal formats of logical switchers 1 and 2 are the
same.
• Color backgrounds: Sharing is supported only when the
signal formats of logical switchers 1 and 2 are the same.
• Internal format converters: If the signal formats of
logical switchers 1 and 2 are the same, sharing is
supported only for FC channels configured for input use.
When resources are shared, operation using the menu is
available from logical switcher 1 only.
On logical switcher 2, only the selection of cross-points of
shared resources is available. Information for shared
resources are also displayed in the menu of logical
switcher 2, but configuration and other operations are not
available.
1) Excludes the Engineering Setup >Panel >Xpt Assign >Src Name/Src
Color menu (7322.6). Independent menu operation for shared resources is
available on logical switchers 1 and 2.
Notes
• Software licenses for 4K format support are required
according to the number of M/E board assigned to the
4K format logical switchers (see page 401).
• Subdivided resources have resource numbers that are set
for each logical switcher. For example, frame memory
outputs 17 to 20 assigned to logical switcher 2 are
referred to as FM1 to FM4.
• Format converter output connectors and spare
connectors are assigned in conjunction with the internal
format converter assignments.

• If both an XKS-8470 and XKS-8475 are assigned to a
single logical switcher, only the DME function of the
XKS-8475 is available.
• DME functionality on up to four channels can be used on
a single logical switcher.
• When an internal format converter is shared, the input
assigned to the target FC channel must also be shared.
Also, the FC channel configured for output use can be
used on logical switcher 1 only.
• The XVS-9000 has the following restrictions.
- The inputs and outputs on an XKS-C9121/
XKS-C9121N board can be set in groups of 16, but if
the logical switchers are set to a combination of 4K
format and HD format, both the inputs and outputs
must be assigned to the same logical switcher.
- Multi viewer outputs can be set in groups of 8, but if
the logical switchers are set to a combination of 4K
format and HD format, all multi viewer outputs must
be assigned to the same logical switcher.
• The XVS-8000 has the following restrictions.
- Dedicated inputs are assigned to logical switcher 1.
However, they can be used only when output
connectors connected to the dedicated inputs are also
assigned to logical switcher 1.
- M/E dedicated outputs are assigned to logical switcher
1.
- Output connectors 49 to 52 are assigned to logical
switcher 1.
- When logical switchers 1 and 2 are both set to 4K
format, DME Monitor Video is linked to the
assignment setting of DME channel 1 of the physical
switcher.
• The XVS-7000 has the following restrictions.
- The same signals on output connectors 9 to 16 of the
physical switcher are assigned to the FC9 to FC16
internal format converters. If an output is not assigned
to the logical switcher to which the corresponding
internal format converter is assigned, a black signal is
output from the format converter.
- If only one of the logical switchers is 4K format and a
color background is assigned to the 4K format logical
switcher, selecting a black or white signal on the DME
utility 1 bus/2 bus of the other logical switcher will
cause the color background image configured on the
4K logical switcher to be output.
Setup menu when resource sharing is
enabled
Checking resource sharing settings
When resource sharing is enabled, "On" is displayed in the
"Resource Share Mode" field in the Engineering Setup
>System >System Config menu (7312).
You can press [Resource Share] to display the Resource
Share menu (7312.1) to check the logical switcher signal
format and resource assignment status.
