1-2 Chapter 1 Overview
This is the User's Guide for the BZS-7020 Operation Software for a DVS-
7300/7350 switcher system. It mainly describes the operation of a DVS-7300
switcher system using the BKDS-7011/7012 control panel or a DVS-7350
switcher system using the BKDS-7021/7022/7023 control panel.
DVS-7300/7350 is a system name. It does not refer to any specific hardware
device.
For details of the DVS-7300/7350 system, see the following section, “Terms
for system types”.
System configurations and terminology
This manual refers to the principal components of the DVS-7300/7350
switcher system by the terms listed below.
Terms for system components
The following table lists the full model names of system components and the
terms used to identify them in this manual.
a) Unless it is necessary to distinguish “3.5-M/E panel” and “3-M/E panel” the term “control
panel” is used.
b) In a 3.5-M/E panel, the downstream keyer control section is built-in as standard.

Terms for system types
This manual also uses the terms listed below to distinguish different types of
system where necessary.
a) In the case of a system equipped with a DMK-7000 and BKDS-7032 DSK Control Panel Unit,
where required the term “3-M/E system equipped with a downstream keyer” is also used.
About the BZS-7020 Operation Software
The BZS-7020 Operation Software is a program for operating the DVS-7300/
7350 system hardware from the control panel.
The BZS-7020 software is supplied on three floppy disks, one each for the
switcher, the control panel, and the downstream keyer. The software is
installed from the floppy disk drive on the control panel, and copied to non-
volatile memory (flash memory) in each of the units.
For details of the software installation procedure, see page 13-6 in this
manual, and also refer to the DVS-7000 Installation Manual.

1-4 Chapter 1 Overview
Features of the DVS-7300/7350 Switcher
System
The DVS-7300/7350 switcher system offers high performance and high
functionality in a system based on the DVS-7000 Digital Video Switcher.
The following are some of the features of this system.
Full-featured video effects
M/E banks
There are three M/E banks, each with equivalent functionality. Each bank
includes two keyers which can be operated independently and
simultaneously.
The output from any M/E bank can be input as a background signal to any
other, for further keying and other operations.
PGM/PST bank (operation coupled to a DMK-7000)
In a DVS-7350 system, the three M/E banks are supplemented by a PGM/
PST bank, for manipulating the final program output from the switcher.
Using the PGM/PST bank, you can insert a total of four downstream keys
into the final background output. These operations are controlled from the
switcher control panel, but the processing is carried out by a DMK-7000
Digital Multi Keyer connected to the system.
In a DVS-7300 system, by connecting a DMK-7000, and equipping the
control panel with a BKDS-7032 DSK Control Panel Unit, you can again
control the insertion of a maximum of four downstream keys.
DME wipes (operation coupled to a DME)
By connecting a DME-7000 or other Digital Multi Effects unit, you can use
the control panel to carry out DME wipes, using DME effects (the “DME
LINK™” function).
System configuration flexibility
Wide range of options
In addition to the two basic control panel types, that is, 3.5-M/E and 3-M/E
panels, there is a wide range of options, allowing just the features required to
be installed in a system.
Support for D1 and D2 formats
Except for some options, both D1 (component) and D2 (composite) signal
formats are supported. A simple control panel operation switches between
the D1 and D2 selections, and also in the case of D1 format between 525- and
625-line systems.

Chapter 1 Overview 1-5
Convenient interfaces with external equipment
Using the DVS-7000 along with the DVS-V6464B Sony Routing Switcher,
you can make up a large-scale switcher system.
Connecting the BVE-9100 Editing Control Unit to your system will allow
you to carry out such advanced editing operations as ISR (System Status
Reporting) and EDL (Edit Decision List ) management.
Powerful remote control functions
You can connect the BKDS-2010 Control Panel to the DVS-7000 and use it
as a separate panel exclusively for the M/E banks.
For key adjustment operations such as chroma key adjustment, the BKDS-
7060 Keyer Remote Control Panel is available.You can use the dedicated
panel connected to the DVS-7000 to remote-control the auxiliary bus and
Shot Box operations.
Operation adapted to live operation
The DVS-7300/7350 is not only a fully featured switcher system for post-
production tasks, but also well adapted to live broadcast applications, since
the control panel has been designed to provide the necessary rapid
operability.
Combined use of menu settings and button operation
All detailed settings for video processing are carried out in menus, but for
some more frequently used operations you can carry out the selections and
adjustments by direct button operations on the control panel. In particular,
clip, gain, density and other basic parameter settings can be controlled using
the three knobs provided on each M/E bank, quite independently of the
currently accessed menu.
Snapshot function
The DVS-7300/7350 system has a comprehensive snapshot function, which
allows a collection of settings for a particular effect to be saved in memory,
and recalled as required for an instant return to the settings. Snapshots can be
saved from memory to floppy disk, and reloaded into the system when
required.
Snapshots can reflect the overall system settings, or can apply only to key,
wipe, or DME wipe settings for a particular M/E bank. These latter can be
easily saved and recalled using the buttons of the FlexiPad™ provided on the
M/E bank.
