Overview; Features - Sony MKS-8080 Operation Manual

Overview

The MKS-8080/8082 AUX Bus Remote Panel switches
AUX input/output signals to/from an MVS-8000 Multi
Format Switcher System connected to the primary station
of the S-BUS data link.
The MKS-8080 occupies 1 unit in height in a standard 19-
inch rack, and has 32 source select buttons and four reentry
buttons.
The MKS-8082 occupies 3 units in height in a standard 19-
inch rack. The unit has 16 destination select buttons in
addition to the buttons of the MKS-8080. The signal name
can be labeled on each source select button and destination
select buttons.

Features

AUX signal assignment linking with the
MVS-8000
Settings of the select buttons made on the MVS-8000 are
automatically set to the MKS-8080/8082, which enables
control of operations of the linked MVS-8000. On the
MKS-8082, the signal names are indicated on the buttons,
and the arrangement of the signals set on the buttons can
be changed.
Routing switcher controllable (MKS-8082 only)
While the RTR button is lit (RTR mode), you can control
the routing switcher. Using this function, you can switch
signals in an emergency, with MVS-8000 switching
disabled.
Routing function (MKS-8082 only)
When you use the routing function, you can expand the
number of sources without using the cascade connection.
If you select expanded input as a source, the name of the
actually selected source will appear.
Compatibility with P1 and P2 S-BUS protocols
Both the P1 (matrix size of 512
P2 (matrix size of 1024 512 with 16 levels and matrix
size of 1024 1024 with 8 levels) S-BUS protocols are
supported.
1) Levels
To handle different kinds of signals simultaneously, it is necessary to use a
routing switcher for each type of signal. The types are called "levels". For
example, a recording to be made on a VTR requires the use of five signal
levels: video, audio 1, audio 2, time code, and remote-control signals.
Large select buttons whose functions can be
distinguished by color (MKS-8082 only)
Large select buttons on the front panel are employed for
easy operation. They light in green, red, or amber, giving
status information or showing the available choices to the
operator.

512 with 8 levels ) and
Custom-configuring the unit with the select
buttons
Using the select buttons in combination, you can set your
own configuration for this unit, including source selection,
signal assignment to the select buttons, and level
breakaways.
Preset display window
The preset display window indicates the current status and
entry/preset information. The operation mode can be set
separately from a connected computer with the terminal
software installed (hereinafter called the terminal).
Displaying a source or destination name on the
buttons (MKS-8082 only)
Each source or destination name defined with the terminal
can be shown on a key label on its button. You can easily
replace any key label so that an updated indication can
reflect any setting change on the terminal.
Different sources for levels selectable
(breakaway function) (MKS-8082 only)
You can select and display different sources for levels.
This is called the breakaway function.
Chop function for automatic toggling between
two sources (MKS-8082 only)
Two sources are switched alternately at a specified interval
automatically.
Several crosspoints switchable with the touch of
a button (phantom function or sarvo function)
(MKS-8082 RTR mode only)
When multiple crosspoints have been set as a phantom on
the terminal, all the crosspoints defined with a phantom
name can be switched by pressing one button.
Connectable with a single cable
The unit can be connected to the S-BUS data link of a
digital routing switcher using a single 75-ohm coaxial
cable, and can control the switcher.
Self-diagnostic functions
When the power is turned on, the ROM, RAM, and S-BUS
data link, are automatically checked as to whether they
function correctly. The buttons on the front panel light one
after another to show that there is no problem in internal
connections.
Operation on 100 V to 240 V AC without voltage
selection
The unit can operate on voltages between 100 and 240 V
AC without voltage adaptation.
