Page 28: 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 of center control panels.

Page 31: Features Of The Mvs-8000 Multi Format Switcher System
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 32 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. In an MVS-8000A system and MVS-8000G system, an HDTV system can hold approximately 1,000 still image frames or 2,000 frames in 720P/59.94 format, and an SDTV system can hold approximately 5,000 frames in 480i/...
Page 33: Basic Video Processing
Basic Video Processing This section introduces basic functions used for video processing on the switcher. 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.
Page 34 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 35 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Transition Key 2 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Key 1 Transition Key 2 Key 4...
Page 36 There are two modes for carrying out a transition: auto transitions are carried out by a button operation, and manual transitions are carried out using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine these two modes. Independent Key Transitions 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 37: Keys
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. Different wipe patterns are applied to Independent key Transition type: the background and key transitions. transition type: wipe wipe...
Page 38: Wipes
Masks A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced by the background or a key. To prevent unwanted holes in the background, or if a key is not the desired shape, you can correct this with a mask. Resizer This function allows you to apply effects, similar to a DME, such as zoom, movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key.
Page 39: 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. The patterns that can be used for a DME wipe are as follows.
Page 40: Copy And Swap
Copy and Swap This function can be used to copy and swap the settings among the M/E-1 to M/E-3, and PGM/PST banks or between keyers. The following settings can be copied or swapped. • Overall settings for the M/E and PGM/PST banks •...
Page 41: Side Flags
Side Flags The term “side flags” refers to the areas to left and right of an image with aspect ratio 4:3 embedded within a 16:9 frame, when these areas are filled with a separate image selected from the utility 1 bus. Image to fill the side flag Input source with aspect ratio areas (selected from utility 1...

Simple P/P Software By installing the BZS-8250 Simple P/P Software in the MVS-8000A/ 8000ASF/8000G/8000GSF Switcher Processor, you can use a separate program/preset function without using the M/E hardware.
Page 43: 3D Support
3D Support Installing the BZS-8560 switcher upgrade software in an MVS-8000G, and the BZDM-8560 DME upgrade software in an MVE-8000A, enables the processing of video in 3D mode. For details, see “3D Support” (page 431). Basic Video Processing...
Page 44: Creation Of Special Effects And Management Of Data And Operations
Creation of Special Effects and Management of Data and Operations This section introduces functions used for creation of special effects, control of external devices or switcher operations, and data management. Digital Multi Effects (DME) When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects.
Page 45: External Devices
• Disk recorder (Sony disk 9-pin protocol and video disk communications protocol) • Extended VTR (Abekas A53 protocol) For details on the devices that can be connected, consult your Sony representative. You can control an external device by previously registering timeline keyframes.
Page 46: Snapshots
The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown. Background A Interpolated images Background B Keyframe 1 Keyframe 2 Keyframe 3 Effect execution Example of keyframes and effect execution You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register.
Page 47: Utility
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. For details, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2). Utility The utility function refers to a function whereby you can assign an arbitrary action or a shortcut for frequently used menu to a particular button, then instantly recall the action or menu by pressing the button.
Page 48: Files
Macro attachment Macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
Page 49: Setup
Setup Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu.

Page 138: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. 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.
Page 139: Setting The Transition Rate
When the transition is completed, all of the LEDs go off. Setting the Transition Rate There are two ways of setting the transition rate: using the numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Page 140 Frame display mode: Values are shown as from 0 to 999 frames. In this display mode, a value entered in timecode input mode is converted for display as a number of frames. Timecode display mode: Values are shown as timecode values, consisting of seconds and frames.
Page 141: Pattern Limit
Press the [ENTER] button. This confirms the entry, and the selected region name and the set transition rate appear in the numeric keypad control block display. The transition control block display of the same bank (M/E or PGM/PST) also shows the setting. To enter a difference from the current value After pressing the [+/–] button, enter the difference and press the [TRIM] button.
Page 142 • When the limit value is set to 0%, the wipe effect is completely disabled, and carrying out the transition produces no change in the image. • 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 143 This sets the current fader lever position as the pattern limit. Setting the pattern limit by a menu operation When a wipe is selected as the transition type, in the M/E or PGM/PST menu, select first VF5 ‘Wipe,’ then HF4 ‘Edge/Direction.’ When a DME wipe is selected as the transition type, in the M/E or PGM/ PST menu, select first VF6 ‘DME Wipe,’...
Page 144: Executing An Auto Transition
The button you pressed lights green. Carry out the transition. The [PTN LIMIT] button goes off, and the pattern limit state is released. Depending on the way in which the transition was executed, the action will be as follows. • When you press the [CUT] button, the pattern limit is immediately released, and the image switches instantaneously.
Page 145 A cut switches instantaneously from the current video to the new video. When the next transition is a key transition, the key cuts in or out instantaneously. Auto transition The transition from the current video to the new video is carried out automatically at a constant rate, using the transition effect selected as the transition type.
Page 146: Executing A Transition With The Fader Lever (Manual Transition)
Executing a Transition With the Fader Lever (Manual Transition) Using the fader lever, you can manually control the progress of the transition. Moving the fader lever from one end of its travel to the other completes the transition. To execute a manual transition with the transition control block fader lever, use the following procedure.
Page 147: Fader Lever Operation In Bus Fixed Mode
In a non-sync state, two lit LEDs indicate the position from which a normal transition can be carried out. This is either at one end position or both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever toward the position of the lit LEDs does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 148 background output is always from the background A bus. This is called “flip- flop mode.” The alternative is known as “bus fixed mode,” in which there is no bus interchange. In this mode, when the fader lever is at the top of its travel the output from the A bus is always 100%, and when the fader lever is at the bottom of its travel the output from the B bus is 100%.
Page 149 LEDs light at both end positions of the fader lever travel. Moving the fader lever does not carry out a transition, but when the fader lever reaches the end position the non-sync state is released, and it is now possible to carry out the next transition.
Page 150: Transition Preview
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. To carry out a transition preview, press the [TRANS PVW] button in the transition control block. Notes In multi-program mode, DSK mode or bus fixed mode (page 147), it is not possible to carry out a transition preview.

Page 152: Independent Key Transitions
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. These are called “independent key transitions.” By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys.

Overview 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 229: Basic Procedure For Wipe Settings
Basic Procedure for Wipe Settings You carry out wipe setting operations principally using the Wipe menu for each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks.

Overview 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 details of independent key transitions, see page 289.

Page 492: Dme
DME (Digital Multi Effects) allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects. DME is the general name for all of these effects. You can use up to eight channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
Page 493: Three-Dimensional Transformations
Two interfaces are available for the MVE-9000: a dedicated interface (MKE- 9020M) for use in an MVS-8000 series switcher, and an SDI interface (MKE- 9021M). Notes When using the SDI interface, the following operations are different from when using the dedicated interface. •...

Page 498 Detents The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the three- dimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button (page 508) in the device control block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points. The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each transformation operation mode (see page 499).

coordinate space, the setting values in the source coordinate space (three- dimensional parameter values) are converted to values in the target coordinate space (source/target conversion). Once a conversion has taken place, the original source coordinate space parameters do not return to their original values when you switch back to the source coordinate space.
Page 500 Rotation Rotates the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space.

Page 714: Regions
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. Classification of the regions The regions are classified as follows.
Page 715 outputs. The settings made for frame memory images in the Freeze menu, Composite menu or other menus do not apply to snapshots or keyframes. • To reproduce a frame memory still image or a clip of them by recalling a snapshot or keyframe, you must have the same images that were present in the frame memory when you saved the snapshot or keyframe.
Page 716: Registers
Registers A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a snapshot, keyframe, macro, and so on. For details of macros, see “Macros” (page 820). Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99.
Page 717 Master timeline registers There are 99 master timeline registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store keyframe effect regions and the register numbers saved in the regions. Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region.
Page 718: 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 719: Effect Editing
These conditions are called “attributes” of the effect, and can be added when the keyframe effect is saved or recalled. Type of attribute The attribute that can be attached to an effect is as follows. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the effect recall to the state at the effect start point is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve.
Page 720: Time Settings
Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Creating and Editing Keyframes” (page 743).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration. Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration.
Page 721 Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Setting the Keyframe Duration” (page 756).) In constant duration mode (see page 720), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Page 722 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 720), the duration of the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Insertion position Change in effect duration Insertion before the first keyframe...
Page 723 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 720), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Deletion position Change in effect duration Deletion of the first keyframe Deletion of an intermediate keyframe...
Page 724: Paths
Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. Images are interpolated from an edit point to the next one according to the path setting. For details of the path setting procedure, see “Path Setting” (page 759). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu.
