Setting M/E Dedicated Outputs; Setting The Internal Format Converters - Sony XKS-C9111 User Manual

Setting M/E Dedicated Outputs

On the XVS-8000, four M/E dedicated outputs are
supported when the switcher signal format is 3840×2160P.
Note
To use M/E dedicated outputs, an XKS-S8165 SDI Output
Connector Board must be installed in slot 2 of the switcher.
Setting the Ext Out mode
You can enable either the M/E dedicated output or DME,
since they use the same output (Ext Out) on each switcher
bank.
By default, Ext Out is configured for DME use. To enable
M/E dedicated output, Ext Out must be configured for
M/E dedicated output use.
Notes
• The Ext Out mode setting is common to all the M/E and
PGM/PST banks.
• If Ext Out is set for M/E dedicated output use, all
functions relating to DME effects (DME, DME wipe,
image effect) cannot be used in 4K format.
