Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions
Introduction
This manual is the User’s Guide for the DVS-9000/9000SF Production
Switcher system supporting the SDTV signal format only. The DVS-9000 and
DVS-9000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals,
but are otherwise functionally identical.
This manual refers to these generically as the “DVS-9000 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.
Contents of Volume 1
Overview of functions of the DVS-9000 system, and basic switcher operations
including transitions, keys, and wipes.
Contents of Volume 2
DME effects, snapshots, keyframes, and various operations such as setup
which affect the overall system.
Devices and system nomenclature
In this manual, when discussing the principal components of the DVS-9000
system, in place of the formal product names, abbreviated names
characterizing the functions and features are sometimes used. When
distinctions between system configurations must be drawn, the terms in the
following table are used.
Principal components and naming

19Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System
Chapter 1 DVS-9000 Functions
Features of the DVS-9000 Production
Switcher System
The DVS-9000 Production Switcher system boasts extensible high
performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal
features of this system.
System configuration flexibility
SDTV support
This system supports the SDTV signal formats 480i/59.94 and 576i/50. The
format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation.
Extensible system configuration
By suitable combination of options, the switcher can be configured with
various inputs and outputs, and different numbers of M/E banks. The system
offers the flexibility to change and expand as required.
When the optional BKDS-9470 DME Board Set is installed, the system allows
you to use up to four DME channels. Further, you can connect an MVE-8000A
or MVE-9000 extensible DME processor, which provides any number from
one to four channels, for a maximum of eight channels of 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.
Powerful tally system
The complete system including routing switcher provides an all-inclusive tally
system. The system can be adapted to different applications and settings, using
multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording tallies.
Comprehensive video manipulation
M/E banks
Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped with four keyers, and each
keyer is capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent key
transitions separate from the background transitions. The four keys can be
freely combined, to carry out four different program outputs.
