Introduction features System with installed option 4K system boards and settings to This manual is the User’s Guide for the MVS-8000X/ support 4K format 7000X Multi Format Switcher system. System with installed option HD system This manual describes the operation of the system using boards and settings to the ICP-X7000 Integrated Control Panel.
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.
Inserting and deleting a key Basic Video Processing You can insert one or more of the eight keys (or downstream keys 1 to 8 on the PGM/PST bank) into the image. This section introduces basic functions used for video If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key.
