Overview
Overview
The CCP-8000 Center Control Panel Pack provides
control panels for operation of a MVS-8000 Multi Format
Switcher system. It has a wide range of application, being
usable in studios and the ENG and OB vans of large-scale
live production systems as well as in postproduction
editing systems.
“Center control panel” refers to the control panel as a
whole, which is comprised of the following three elements.
Main Panel
The main panel, comprised of various types of operation
modules, provides the operating controls of the system. It
can be freely laid out, with variable numbers of M/E banks
(2 to 4) and cross-point buttons (24 or 32) and variable
layout of the auxiliary bus module. Operation modules can
be mounted in the MKS-8075A Extension Adaptor and
MKS-8076 Memory Card/USB Adaptor for installation
apart from the main panel. The auxiliary bus module can
also be removed from the main panel and used as an AUX
panel.
Menu Panel
The menu panel provides a GUI interface for making
system settings.
System Control Unit
The system control unit provides control functions for the
center control panel as a whole. It also supplies power to
the various panels.
Features
Free control panel layout
The modular configuration of the center control panel
allows operation modules to be freely laid out in the way
that best meets your requirements.
Intuitive, easy-to-use man-machine
interface
The Flexi PadTM and shotbox sections feature LCD display
buttons that can display the names of registered effects or
graphics for registered patterns. Registered effects are
evident at a glance, a significant advantage in live
situations where decisions must be made instantly. The
menu control block features a large, touch-sensitive LCD
panel for speedy menu operations.
Special features for mid- and large-scale
live switcher systems
The center control panel was designed with many features
for live operation, such as shotbox functions, source name
display on cross-point buttons, the ability to recall
snapshots and other effect memory settings directly on the
Flexi PadTM, and redundant power supply.
Powerful external device control
The center control panel can control devices such as Sony
routing switchers and IF processors. Control of devices
such as VTRs and DDRs can be linked to timelines of
switchers and DME.
Generous storage capacity
The center control panel has an internal hard disk drive for
storage of settings and still pictures from switcher frame
memory. They can also be storage to “Memory Sticks” and
other memory cards.

case, there is no POWER B switch indicator.
Caution
Before installing an optional Backup Power Supply Unit in
your unit, be sure to contact your Sony service
representative.

18 Exchanging Button Labels
The number of modules that can be connected to a single
MKS-8010A System Control Unit is as follows.
(The maximum number of adaptors that can be connected
on 1 channel is 8.)
However, it is not possible to connect four Key Control
Modules and a 10 Key Pad Module on one channel.
You can also connect a keyboard, mouse, pen tablet and
other devices with USB connectors to the DEVICE
connectors of the main panel regardless of whether an
MKS-8025MS has been installed in the main panel or
installed apart from the main panel using an MKS-8076
adaptor, or to the DEVICE connectors of a module to
operate the MKS-8025MS.
Contact your Sony service representative for more
information about connectable devices.
Note
To make connections to the EXT PANEL 1, 2 and 3
connectors, MAIN PANEL connector, and MENU
PANEL connector on the MKS-8010A System Control
Unit, always use the cables supplied in the package, or
SWC-5005 or SWC-5010 cables.
Exchanging Button
Labels
A button top puller is supplied with the center control
panel.
After changing a pattern assigned to a numeric button, you
can use the following procedure to exchange the button
label.
1 Write the new pattern on one of the supplied exchange
labels.
2 Grip the holes on the button sides with the supplied
button top puller and remove the button.
3 Grip the slots on the sides of the white button cap with
the button top puller, so that the cap flexes slightly,
and remove the cap.
4 Remove the old label and insert the new label.
5 Replace the button cap.
6 Replace the button in its original location.

Adjusting Fader Torque / Power Supply Unit Status Indicators
Adjusting Fader Torque
You can adjust faders without removing them from the
center control panel or operation modules (Single fader
only).
Proceed as follows to adjust faders.
1 Pull the fader lever to an upright position between the
two holes on the fader cover.
2 Insert a hexagonal screwdriver or a hexagonal wrench
(4 mm sides) into one or both of the holes and rotate
to adjust the torque.
Rotate clockwise:
Fader lever operation becomes firmer.
Rotate counterclockwise:
Fader lever operation becomes freer.
Note
For a split fader, you cannot make adjustment from the
control panel surface. To make adjustment, it is necessary
to use the two holes provided in the back side of the
module.
If you want split fader torque to be adjusted, consult your
Sony service representative.

20 Care of the Control Panel / About a “Memory Stick”
Care of the Control Panel
Clean the control panel unit, switches, and fader levers, by
gently wiping with a soft dry cloth.
In the event of excessive grime, moisten the cloth with a
little cold or lukewarm water, and wipe gently.
Note
Wring out all surplus water from the cloth before use, to
prevent any surplus water from penetrating the panel.
Moisture inside the panel can cause it to fail.
Never use organic solvents, cleaners, or other chemicals.
Do not wipe with excessive force, as this may scratch the
panel.
About a “Memory Stick”
What Is “Memory Stick”?
“Memory Stick” is a new compact, portable and versatile
IC (Integrated Circuit) recording medium with a data
capacity that exceeds a floppy disk.
“Memory Stick” is specially designed for exchanging and
sharing digital data among “Memory Stick” compatible
products. Because it is removable, “Memory Stick” can
also be used for external data storage.
“Memory Stick” is available in two sizes: standard size
and compact “Memory Stick Duo” size. Once attached to
a Memory Stick Duo adapter, “Memory Stick Duo” turns
to the same size as standard “Memory Stick” and thus can
be used with products compliant with standard “Memory
Stick.”
Types of “Memory Stick”
“Memory Stick” is available in the following six types to
meet various requirements in functions.
• “Memory Stick-R”
Stored data are not overwritten. You can write data to
“Memory Stick-R” with “Memory Stick-R” compatible
products only. Copyright protected data that requires
MagicGate copyright protection technology cannot be
written to “Memory Stick-R.”
• “Memory Stick”
Stores any type of data except copyright-protected data
that requires the MagicGate copyright protection
technology.
• “MagicGate Memory Stick”
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection
technology.
• “Memory Stick-ROM”
Stores pre-recorded, read-only data. You cannot record on
“Memory Stick-ROM” or erase the pre-recorded data.
• “Memory Stick PRO”
Equipped with the MagicGate copyright protection
technology, designed for use only with equipment
compatible with “Memory Stick PRO.”
