Introduction Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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-8000 series of center control panels. The User’s Guide for this system comprises two volumes.
a) Where there are differences among the MVS-8000/8000SF system, MVS-8000A/8000ASF system, and MVS-8000G/8000GSF system, these may be noted specifically in the relevant place. System nomenclature The following terms are used for systems, depending on the combination of installed options, and the signal format.

Features of the MVS-8000 Multi Format Switcher System Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The MVS-8000 Multi Format Switcher system boasts extensible high performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal features of this system. System configuration flexibility Multiformat support This system supports both HDTV and SDTV signal formats. The format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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/ 59.
Video Processing Flow The following illustration shows the flow of operations for carrying out a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank.
Signal Selection Source name displays Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. The number of buttons in each cross-point row may be 16, 24, or 32, but here the description is of the 32-button case as an example.
Basics of Signal Selection Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Each of the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block). These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number. The basis of signal selection is to select, in a cross-point button row, the crosspoint button to which is assigned the desired signal.
Bus name Cross-point button row Delegation operation PGM/PST Program bus a) Program row – Preset bus a) Preset row – DSK 1 bus DSK1 row Turn off the [DSK3] button DSK 2 bus DSK2 row Turn off the [DSK4] button DSK 3 bus DSK1 row Turn on the [DSK3] button M/E-1, M/E-2, M/E-3, PGM/PST DSK 4 bus DSK2 row Turn on the [DSK4] button Utility 1 bus Background A row Utility 2 bus Background B row When [UTIL] button mode is Hold, hold down the [UTIL] button DME external video bus Key 1 row
Bank Bus name Cross-point button row Delegation operation Auxiliary bus control block AUX1 to AUX48 buses 1st row, 2nd row Turn on the appropriate buttons in accordance with the signal assignment made in the Setup menu.
a) Dual background bus mode (see below) can be selected. Dual background bus mode In this mode, the shifted signal on the background A row can be selected on the key 1 row, and the shifted signal on the background B row can be selected on the key 2 row. To switch this mode on and off, it is necessary to assign this function to the [PRE MCRO] button in the cross-point control block.

Note This setting is cleared when you reset the control panel. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Assigning a button to the function of disabling cross-point button operation You can assign the button to be used for the operation to the [PRE MCRO] button, in setup. (See Chapter 16, “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config Menu)” (Volume 2)) You can also use the [Inhibit Set] and [Inhibit All Clear] functions, assigned to user preference buttons.
Selection of signals linked with the audio mixer When you select a signal in a switcher bank background A row or AUX bus control block which is set to be linked with the audio mixer, the program output of the audio mixer follows the signal selection. For details of the setting, see Chapter 16, “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign menu)” (Volume 2). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Note • For details of audio mixers that can be connected, contact your Sony service or sales representative.
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. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition.
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.
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.
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being “in front” as seen on the screen. 3 1 Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 4 2 Priority sequence on the screen 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.
Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the previous illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Transition type: wipe Same wipe is applied to background and key. Effect of a common transition 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.
Wipe and mix (dissolve) are carried out simultaneously. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.
Example 1: When the independent key transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Independent key transition (mix) start Common transition (wipe) start The transition completes with the key deleted. Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Independent key transition (mix) start Common transition (wipe) start The transition completes with the key deleted.
NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output.
Note When the bus fixed mode is selected with a Setup menu setting, a preset color mix is always carried out in the one-stroke mode. • You can also make a setting such that when a preset color mix is completed, the next transition switches to the previous transition type automatically. This is called “one-time mode.
When, with a key inserted, a key is selected in the next transition Key state preserved Key gradually removed Key Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Preset color mix (when set to preserve key state) Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern. This transition type can also be selected for an independent key transition. For details, see “Wipes” (page 60) and Chapter 5 “Wipes” (page 437).
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. By combining common transitions with independent key transitions, different transition types can be applied to the background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe combined with a background dissolve. (See “Executing a Transition” (page 351).
Flip-flop mode Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions A B A BLACK B BLACK Bus fixed mode BLACK Fader lever BLACK Buttons lit A BLACK B BLACK Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode For details of fader lever operation in bus fixed mode, see page 361. 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.
• 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. You can specify the limit value either by entering a numeric value in the menu, or by operating the fader lever to set the fader lever position. (See “Pattern Limit” (page 355).
Keys Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.” The system component responsible for processing a key is referred to as a keyer. Each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank has four keyers, and all of these keyers provide the same functions.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector key, you can enable the clean mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the background. This improves the keyed image quality, but means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be inserted must be completely black, or it will color the background. You set the clean mode with the Type menu of the respective keyer.
Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground. This is effective for a naturallooking composite when the scene includes glass or other translucent objects.
Angle a) Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Reference color specified by Hue setting Crop a) Range of colors remaining as foreground Range of colors creating the key signal (to be replaced by background signal) a) The Crop and Angle values do not change even if you use the auto chroma key function. Window adjustment Y balance In normal chroma keying, the key signal is based on the chrominance component only, and all elements of the foreground with the same hue are replaced by the background.
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 382). Wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source.
Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key. You can adjust the border width, position, and density. Shadow This applies a shadow below and to the right for example, of the key.
Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key. You can adjust the width and position of the embossing, and the density. You can adjust the density separately for key fill and key edge.
• When the edge type is border, outline, or emboss • When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When Fine Key is on To fix key fill / key source in key drop off mode In the Edge menu, switch frame delay mode on (see page 393). Regardless of the fine key and edge type settings, key fill and key source are fixed in key drop off mode. In this mode key image has a one-frame delay. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Notes • This function is only valid on the MVS-8000G/8000GSF.
Background mask: This masks out a part of the background, which will result in the key fill appearing. Masked area (box) Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Key mask Background mask Main mask and subsidiary (“sub”) mask Each keyer allows two masks to be used simultaneously, and these are referred to as the main mask and the sub mask. The signal that determines the mask shape and size is termed the mask source, and different sources are used for the main mask and sub mask.
Full mode: All settings except transition (the same parameters as simple mode, Fine Key, key modifiers, main and sub mask settings, chroma key detailed settings, and so on) For the settings for these modes, see “Settings Relating to Keys, Wipes and Frame Memory (Key/Wipe/FM Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Key Snapshots Key settings other than the key on/off status and the key priority can all be instantaneously saved in a dedicated register, for recall when required.
• Clean mode For details, see “Returning the key adjustment values to their defaults” (page 418). For the menu operation to return the key adjustment values to their defaults, see “Returning to default state in function groupings” (page 324). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Key Modify Clear A simple button operation or a menu operation returns the key settings to the initial status settings.
Relation between resizer and other effects You cannot apply DME effects to a key for which the resizer function is enabled. When one of the three functions – resizer, DME wipe and DME effects – is enabled, the other two are disabled.
Wipes Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. For details of independent key transitions, see page 37.
Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and “sub”). Note Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 441). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows. Mix: The effect of the sub pattern is applied to the main pattern, modifying the outline or nature of the main pattern.
Main pattern at 100% Sub pattern at 100% 0.00 Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Start value Parameter settings Start: Point in the course of the transition at which the main pattern is at 100% End: Point in the course of the transition at which the sub pattern is at 100% Transition (0.00 - 100.00) Mix combination of main and sub patterns already begun Mix ends during transition, which ends with sub pattern at 100% End value 90.00 –10.
Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern. Changing the modifier settings for one pattern automatically changes the settings for the other.
Direction You can specify the direction of the wipe: the regular direction is referred to as “normal,” and the other direction as “reverse.” You can also select alternating directions each time the transition is completed (normal/reverse mode). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Normal Reverse Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions. Split off Split on The parameter Split No specifies the number of splits.
Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border. In an independent key transition, only the “Soft” setting is available. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Soft Border Soft border Border: You can adjust the border width. Soft: You can adjust the edge softness. Soft border: You can adjust the border width, and the softness of the inner and outer edges of the border. When a border or soft border is selected, the signal filling the border is called edge fill.
Angle This carries out a wipe with the pattern in a fixed angle. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Angle off Angle on The parameter Angle determines the angle of pattern rotation. A value of –100.00 of the parameter Angle corresponds to one whole turn counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one whole turn clockwise. With a value of 0.00 there is no rotation. Speed Through the course of the transition the wipe pattern rotates at a fixed specified speed.
The parameter Angle determines an angle of pattern inclination at the beginning of the transition. • A value of –100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn counterclockwise. • A value of +100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn clockwise. • With a value of 0.00 the pattern is stationary. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The parameter Magnitude determines an angle of pattern rotation through the course of the transition. • A value of –200.
• The parameter H Multi determines the number of pattern replications horizontally, and the parameter V Multi determines the number of pattern replications vertically. • The parameter Shift determines the manner of replication. At a value of –100.00, the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the left lines up with the central coordinate horizontally. At a value of +100.00, the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the right lines up with the central coordinate horizontally.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions the right, and the odd-numbered pairs move to the left. The value +100.00 represents the maximum movement. • The parameter V Offset determines the spacing in the vertical direction. If a negative value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move upward, and the odd-numbered pairs move downward. The value –100.00 represents the maximum movement. If a positive value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move downward, and the odd-numbered pairs move upward.
Vertical modulation This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the vertical direction to edges. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of –100.00 generates the maximum leftward speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum rightward speed. Fringe This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the radial direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of –100.
A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive value produces barrel distortion. Spiral This deforms the pattern spirally. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Spiral off Spiral on • The parameter Magnitude determines the size and direction of the spiral. A value of –100.00 represents the maximum movement in the counterclockwise direction, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum movement in the clockwise direction.
DME Wipes Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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 independent key transitions, see page 37. Note On the MVS-8000G, it is also possible to carry out a DME wipe on a key using the resizer (see page 58).
DME Wipes Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (twochannel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it. (Pattern numbers: 1021 to 1031 (one-channel mode), 2621 to 2628 (twochannel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Picture-in-picture: The one-channel mode and two-channel mode differ as follows. In one-channel mode, this completes in two transitions. In the first transition, the old video shrinks, and the new video appears behind it. In the second transition, the old video expands again until it is its original size. (Pattern number: 1251 (one-channel mode)) In two-channel mode, in the first half of the transition, the old video shrinks, and the new video appears.
In three-channel mode, a brick appears over the old video as the image is expanding and rotating, and switches to the new video. (Pattern number: 3601 (three-channel mode)) User programmable DME: Using a DME keyframe effect created with a keyframe operation, this executes a DME wipe.
Transition mode “Compress” The change in the image when the transition mode is set to “Compress” is as follows, in comparison to the case of “Picture-in-picture.
At the first transition completion point, if you move the image with the positioner, the transition appears as in the following figure. Transition start First transition completion point Transition end Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Image created by interpolation Background A Background B Effect execution State before modification Transition mode “frame in-out H” This mode is specified when creating a transition effect in the horizontal direction.
Transition start First transition completion point Transition end Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Image created by interpolation Background A Effect execution Background B State before modification Transition mode “frame in-out V” This mode is specified when creating a transition effect in the vertical direction. In this mode, in the state at completion of the first transition, you can move the image with the positioner in both horizontal and vertical directions.
At the first transition completion point, if you move the image with the positioner, the transition appears as in the following figure.
Note For the SDI interface on the MVE-8000A or MVE-9000, in some cases the AUX bus is used in place of the DME external bus. For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface Menu)” in “Setup Relating to Switcher Processor” section of Chapter 16 (Volume2). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions DME Wipe Pattern Variation and Modifiers You can modify the selected DME wipe pattern in the same way as an ordinary wipe pattern, as follows.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions • 1381, 1391, 1393, 1394, 1396 When these pattern numbers are selected, you can set the center of the transition effect. • 2651, 2652 When these pattern numbers are selected, you can move the pattern for each channel, or with values relative to the current position the two channels simultaneously. • 2801 to 2804, 2811 to 2814 When the these pattern numbers are selected, you can set the vertical position as the brick slides in.
Relation to ordinary wipes • DME wipes do not use the wipe generator built into the switcher. Therefore, during the execution of a DME wipe, you can still use a pattern produced by the wipe generator as the source for a pattern key or mask. • A DME wipe pattern cannot be used as the source for a pattern key or mask. Relation to processed keys Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe.
To save and recall these registers, use the Flexi Pad control block in each switcher bank or the Menu control block. (See “DME Wipe Snapshots” (page 482).) In the case of a simple transition system, there are eight DME wipe snapshot registers for each switcher bank. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions DME Wipe Modify Clear By a simple operation, you can return the DME wipe state to that set in initial status.
combinations of key 1 and key 2, or key 3 and key 4. For example, when a dual resizer effect is enabled for key 1, a resizer DME wipe cannot be used for key 2.
Frame Memory Overview Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Frame memory is a function whereby a frame of input video can be frozen and written to memory, for further use as material for editing. You can also play recorded frame memory clips (movies). Frame capacity The maximum number of images that can be written to memory is as follows. MVS-8000 system HD system: 58 frames (88 frames in 720P/59.
Video format Memory capacity 1080PsF/29.97 Approx. 800 frames 1080PsF/30 Approx. 800 frames 720P/50 Approx. 1400 frames 720P/59.94 Approx. 1700 frames Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions SD system: (Without ancillary data) Video format Memory capacity 480i/59.94 Approx. 5600 frames 576i/50 Approx. 4800 frames (With ancillary data) Video format Memory capacity 480i/59.94 Approx. 4700 frames 576i/50 Approx.
About extended clips When two frame memory boards (MKS-8440A for the MVS-8000A, MKS8442G for the MVS-8000G) are installed, one is dedicated to clips. Such clips held in a frame memory board are called “extended clips.” Use of frame memory Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions There are eight frame memory channels, FM1 to FM8, and each channel independently allows a freeze image to be saved or recalled.
Pair files and single files A file that can be recalled in pair mode is termed a “pair file.” A pair file can be created by setting pair mode and capturing an image, or by using the coupling function (see page 94) to combine two single files. A file other than a pair file is termed a “single file.” A single file can be created by switching off pair mode and capturing an image, or by using the separation function (see page 94) to split a pair file.
Still Image File Functions Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The frame memory functions provides the following still image file functions. • Freezing an input image • Saving a still image • Recalling a still image • Processing an image • Image output • Continuously capturing images (record) • Recalling a continuous sequence of images (animation) Capturing an input image (freeze) As the input material for the frame memory, you can use the signal selected on the frame memory source bus.
Recalling a still image (recall) You can recall an image file saved in memory, and allocate to any of the FM1 to FM8 outputs. Processing an image Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You can combine the background image (a still image file allocated to any of FM1 to FM8, a freeze image written to temporary memory, or a black signal) and the input signal. The following types of processing are available.
Note It is not possible to save an image moved with the reposition function directly to frame memory. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Fixing the output image selection (lock function) For the output of each of FM1 to FM8, this fixes the image at the current output. When this lock is enabled, even if the output is recalled in a snapshot or keyframe, the images output to FM1 to FM8 are preserved.
control block, see “Overall Control Panel Settings (Config Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2).) In the Frame Memory menu, effect creation follows the image file names. Of the eight characters in the file names, if files have the same characters except for the last three characters they are treated as an image file group, and the effect is created with the last three (numeric) characters in sequence.
• Disable(d) In this state the ancillary data is not played. This is the status when the [Ancillary Enable] button in the Frame Memory >Clip menu is set to Off. • Enable(d) In this state, ancillary data is present, and can be played back. This is the status when the [Ancillary Enable] button in the Frame Memory >Clip menu is set to On. This is the status after a clip recording operation. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions This status information is saved in a file, and is followed when the file is recalled.
• When recalling a snapshot including a clip transition during executing another clip transition, the follow-on transition does not operate properly. Be sure to complete the transition before recalling a snapshot. Image Data Management Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Frame memory folder editing Create: Create a new folder. Delete: Specify a folder and delete it. You can also delete all folders together in a single operation. Rename folder: Rename a specified folder.
Notes on transferring multiple still images together • Transferring all of the still image files within frame memory together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete still images until saving is possible. The following table roughly shows the relation between memory card capacity and number of images that can be saved.
External Hard Disk Drive Access Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions In an MVS-8000A system and MVS-8000G system, you can connect a hard disk drive to the IEEE1394 port of the switcher processor, to carry out the following operations. Format: Format the hard disk. Backup: Batch saving of files from frame memory to the hard disk. Restore: Restoring frame memory from files saved on the hard disk.
Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations (“color mix”) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2.
Copy and Swap Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You can 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.
Keyer copy and keyer swap You can carry out copy and swap operations among the 16 keyers listed in the following table.

Video Process Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The term “video process” is applied to adjustments to the luminance and hue of the input video signal. There are two types of adjustment, depending on the application: • Adjustment of an individual primary input signal • Image effects on a particular bus Note These types of adjustment may be carried out independently.
Making the adjustments Adjust VIDEO GAIN, Y GAIN, BLACK LEVEL, C GAIN, and HUE DELAY in the following menus.
Digital Multi Effects (DME) Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. 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.
Note When using the SDI interface, the following operations are different from when using the dedicated interface. • Setting the input signals from the switcher to the MVE-9000 (AUX bus outputs), and signals returned to the switcher as primary inputs (reentry inputs). Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions See “Setting the AUX bus output and reentry input” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). • Selecting the combiner channels not in the key control block, but in the Global Effect menu.

At any single keyframe point you can set actions for a maximum of 24 devices.
The data set in the Device menu are saved in a keyframe effect register. When you recall this register and start execution of the keyframe effect, and advance the effect to the keyframe point for which the GPI output is set, a trigger pulse is output to the external device from the specified GPI output port.

File creation To record a new file on the disk recorder, use the Device menu to create a new file. Note In the case of an Extended VTR, it is not possible to record a new file.
Regions and Registers Regions Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Reference region When multiple regions are selected, only one region appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad operations. This is called the “reference region.” The reference region is determined according to the following precedence.
200 range, select two consecutive channels for the regions, as for example [DME1] and [DME2]. Similarly, for registers in the 300 range, select three consecutive registers. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Work register This is a temporary register used when editing keyframes. When you recall an effect, it is read from the effect register into the work register, and when you save, the contents of the work register are written to the effect register.
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown.
Saving and Recalling Effects Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes. When you have finished creating or editing the effect, save it in the recalled register or another specified register.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes. Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 172). Modify: Modify a keyframe. You can modify a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Delete: Delete a keyframe. You can delete a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together.
Difference in the effect of a paste operation Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position. Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position. Transition mode Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the switcher. In this case, it is necessary to set the transition mode (the way in which the effect behaves).
The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes. Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of the inserted keyframe. • When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, inserting a keyframe does not change the effect duration.
Changes in the effect duration caused by deleting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. • When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe.
Delay setting You can set the delay from the time of executing an operation to run the effect, and the effect actually starting (that is, the delay until the first keyframe). You can make this setting in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Note that changing the delay does not alter the duration of the effect. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next.
Item Paths that can be set Wipe/DME Wipe Overall path settings for items relating to wipes and DME wipes are made simultaneously.

Short: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is shorter. Long: The hue changes in whichever of the clockwise and counterclockwise directions is longer. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Path types for Xpt There are two types, as follows.
Master Timelines Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions You can save the regions selected for a keyframe effect and the register numbers saved in the regions in a master timeline register so that operation can be applied to two or more regions at a time. To save master timeline registers, use the numeric keypad control block or menu; to recall them you can use the numeric keypad control block, menu, or the Flexi Pad control block.
Snapshots Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block, the Flexi Pad control block in each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks, and the Snapshot menu.
Snapshot Attributes An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled. These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Types of attribute There are five snapshot attributes, as follows. Cross-point hold: When the snapshot is recalled, the cross-point button selection remains unchanged. This can be set independently for each bus.
Note Clip events are not supported on the MVS-8000. Auto play: Play a frame memory clip immediately after the snapshot is recalled. Table of available attributes Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The attributes that can be used depend on the region, as follows.
Utility Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. The functions you can assign include menu shortcuts, enabling/disabling functions (recalling utility commands), and recalling (shotbox registers or macro registers). Carry out the button assignment in the Setup menu.
Shotbox Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be recalled simultaneously. The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names, snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored in “registers.” There are 99 registers for each control panel.
Setup Overview of Setup Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions 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. For details of the operations, see Chapter 16 “Engineering Setup” (Volume 2). The settings in the Engineering Setup menu are grouped under the following headings.

For details, see “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign Menu)” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Enabling DME wipe operations for sub Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions By factory default, DME wipe operations are inhibited for sub background. To enable them, in the Engineering Setup >Switcher >Config menu, set [DME Wipe Sub Enable] to On. This enables DME wipe operations for sub background. This setting applies to the whole control panel (all M/E banks and PGM/PST bank).
Changing the key assignment for each output (Misc menu) In Multi Program 2 mode you can change the key assignments independently. The following describes an example using M/E-1, but the operation is the same for other banks. Notes 1 Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions • This setting is linked to the setting in the Engineering Setup >Switcher > Config >PGM Config menu. • It is not possible to make this setting while the above PGM Config menu is locked, or [Recall M/E Config] (see previous item) is set to Off.
As for the bus number of the utility 3 bus, a DME Key bus number is used as follows. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions No.
• A maximum of eight re-entry stages are possible, with the final output having a delay of 4H. • The selection order of re-entry signals affects the number of lines by which the output signal is lowered. • If a delay occurs in the image, even when the through mode is set, the ancillary data does not pas through. • For example, it is possible to select the re-entry of M/E-1 main on M/E-1 main.
Differences Between Multi Program 2 Mode and Standard Mode The differences from operation in standard mode are as follows.
Item Main Sub Operation setting for switcher GPI inputs and outputs Same as standard mode Cannot be used a) Keys 2 to 4 are common to main and sub. Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions Notes • Allow a transition to complete before carrying out main and sub delegation switching. • The sub background A bus (utility 2 bus) is shared with wipe edge border fill. Making a change to one affects the other.
Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions • When a macro attachment is set on the DME utility 1 bus or DME utility 2 bus, it is not possible to make separate main and sub settings. • When snapshots with different M/E Config settings are recalled: – If M/E Config data is not to be included in the snapshot data, the current system settings are used for snapshot reproduction. – If M/E Config data is to be included in the snapshot data and if it was created before Version 5.30, then standard mode is used.
Dual Link Support Chapter 1 MVS-8000 Functions By installing the BZS-8560 switcher upgrade software in the MVS-8000G, or the BZDM-8560 DME upgrade software in the MVE-8000A, you can switch the signal format to 1080P/59.94 or 1080P/50. In this case, signal input/output uses a dual link a). a) Standard specified by SMPTE 372M-2002. One video signal is carried by two HD-SDI signals, allowing data with an increased frame rate to be carried.

Key Setting Operations Using Menus There are two ways of making key settings: either using menus, or using the key control block. This section describes basic procedures for making key settings using the menus, taking the M/E-1 >Key1 menu as an example. Operations in the Key menus are the same for all banks (M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST). For details of the method of using the key control block, see “Key Setting Operations With the Key Control Block” (page 406).
Key Type Setting Setting the key type in a menu 1 In the M/E-1 >Key1 menu, select HF1 ‘Type.’ The Type menu appears. 2 In the group, select the key type. Luminance: luminance key Linear: linear key Chroma: chroma key Color Vector: color vector key Wipe Pattern: wipe pattern key Key Wipe Pattern: key wipe pattern key For the selected key type, you can now set the parameters. For an overview of the key types, see page 48.
Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Clip Reference level for generating the key signal +109.59 to –7.31 2 Gain Key sensitivity –100.00 to +100.00 3 Density Key density 0.00 to 100.00 4 Filter Filter coefficient 1 to 9 a) a) Setting this value to 1, produces the “through” state in which no filter is applied. The larger the value, the more strongly the filter applies. • When a chroma key is selected Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 3 Density Key density 0.00 to 100.
To invert the black and white sense of the key source: Press [Key Invert], turning it on. To adjust the horizontal position or key source width for a luminance key, linear key, or chroma key: Press [Key Position], turning it on, and set the parameters. Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 H Phase Key horizontal position –4.00 to +4.00 2 Left Key left edge position –4.00 to +4.00 3 Right Key right edge position –4.00 to +4.
When using an additive mix for chroma keying, the (typically blue) background parts of the foreground video must be converted to black. For this, use the color cancel function (see page 383). Using the plane function In an additive mix, since no key is applied to the foreground, any variations in the (typically blue) background may appear in the composite image. To avoid this, a particular luminance level can be set for the (blue) background, and regions of lower luminance forcibly cut.
Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Position H Horizontal position –100.00 to +100.00 a) 2 Position V Vertical position –100.00 to +100.00 a) 3 Size Size 1.00 to 100.00 a) The setting ranges depend on the signal format, screen aspect ratio, and size settings. 5 Select [Auto Start] in the group. This executes an auto chroma key based on the color specified by the sample selector, and displays the composite image on the monitor.
4 Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Luminance Luminance 0.00 to 100.00 2 Saturation Saturation 0.00 to 100.00 3 Hue Hue 359.99 to 0.00 5 Filter Filter coefficient 1 to 9 Set [Key Active] on. The chroma key composite image now appears in the monitor. Making key signal adjustments for color cancel When the color cancel function is set on, you can adjust the key signal for color cancel. 1 2 In the group of the Chroma Adjust menu, set [Color Cancel] on.
Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 2 Angle Angle value 180.00 to 0.00 For details of the crop and angle parameters, see “Chroma key window” (page 50). • When setting [Y Balance] on and adjusting the ratio in which Y balance is added to the color cancel key Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 1 Mixture Ratio of Y balance key 0.00 to 100.00 Adjusting the window Setting the window function on allows you to adjust the detection range used to determine the key signal.
Knob Parameter Adjustment Setting values 3 Luminance Luminance 0.00 to 100.00 Adjusting the chroma key shadow This function allows a shadow falling on the (typically blue) background color to be rendered more realistically. Since portions of the (blue) background of less than a certain luminance are treated as shadows, there is no effect on cutting out of the foreground. 1 2 In the Chroma Adjust menu, set [Shadow] on. Adjust the following parameters.
Selecting Key Fill and Key Source Selecting key fill and key source To select key fill and key source for key 1 on the M/E-1 bank, use the following procedure. 1 In the M/E-1 >Key1 menu, select HF1 ‘Type.’ The Type menu appears. 2 In the group, select either of the following for use as key fill.

Creating User Programmable DME Patterns With a user programmable DME, you can use DME effects created through the use of keyframes for a transition on the switcher system. Note the following points when creating a keyframe effect for use as a user programmable DME pattern. Register numbers and pattern numbers When saving a keyframe effect as a user programmable DME pattern, specify the register number that corresponds to the pattern number as shown in the following table.
The following transition modes are available.
• Create the last keyframe with the image inverted so the back side is visible, and with the size at full size. • In the group of the Key Frame >DME User PGM menu, select [Flip Tumble]. Notes on frame in-out (one-channel mode) Create a minimum of three keyframes. • Either create the first keyframe image outside the screen area, or set the image size to zero so that it cannot be seen within the screen. • Create the first transition to end such that the image can be seen within the screen.
• Either create the first keyframe image outside the screen area, or set the image size to zero so that it cannot be seen within the screen. • Create the first transition to end such that the image can be seen within the screen. At this point, press the [PAUSE] button in the keyframe control block, turning it on, to set a pause for the keyframe. • Either create the last keyframe image outside the screen area, or set the image size to zero so that it cannot be seen within the screen.
Note It is recommended to make the priority settings at a keyframe point at which the two images are not overlapping. • During the course of a transition, there is a “dead zone” corresponding to the intermediate point of the whole effect (see following figure), during which the image does not change. Therefore, it is necessary to create the effect so that the image in the intermediate part of the transition is the keyframe for the mid-point of the whole effect.
