6Overview
Overview
The MVS-6000-C Switcher Processor Pack is a high-
performance, multi-function processor for use in an
MVS-6000 Multi Format Switcher system. It has a wide
range of application, being usable in live production
systems in studios and ENG/OB vans as well as in
postproduction editing systems.
Features
Multi format support
The MVS-6000 system is available in two configurations:
a multi-format SD/HD configuration and an SD-only
configuration. The SD-only configuration can be upgraded
to the multi-format configuration.
• SD/HD multi format configuration
1080i/59.94, 1080i/50, 720P/59.94, 720P/50, 480i/
59.94, 576i/50
• SD-only configuration
480i/59.94, 576i/50
Key resizer functions
• Magnify, shrink, move, change aspect ratio
• Two resizer channels are provided per M/E bank.
• Snapshots and keyframes
• Crop, Border
• Mosaic, Defocus
Format converter functions
• Input side format converter
Up-converter, down-converter, cross-converter
Eight channels
• Output side format converter
Up-converter, down-converter, cross-converter
Maximum two channels (requires at least one optional
MKS-8450G board)
Highly expandable system configuration
By combining option boards, you can configure the
optimum system for your requirements, selecting the
number of inputs and outputs, and the number of M/E
banks. The system’s flexibility guarantees its ability to
meet future expansion requirements.
High-performance keyers
Each M/E bank is equipped with four high-performance
keyers that provide the following standard functions.
• Ability to apply transitions to keyers independently of
the background
• Chroma key and color vector keys in each keyer
• FineKeyTM, and key borders up to 8H
• Color mixable matte generator available for both key fill
and key borders
Simultaneous output of two programs
Each M/E bank is able to handle two simultaneous
program outputs, with the ability to apply any of the four
keys to program output. This gives the system the ability
to handle a wide range of operating situations, for example
simultaneous transmission of two programs.
Powerful preview functions
The system supports simultaneous output of look-ahead
previews (next preview) and key previews, and also
transition previews.
Extended frame memory functions
• Two-input, eight-output frame memory
• Maintains all MVS-8000G/8000GSF frame memory
functions: freeze function, mask function, reposition
function, and image composition function
• Approximately 5.4 GB large capacity memory
• Includes animation function
• Interface connection for external hard disk drive
provided
Two channels of DME available
By installing an optional DME board, you can apply DME
wipes and processed keys and a wide variety of other DME
functions as if they were native switcher functions. All
DME functions can be controlled from the center control
panel of the MVS-6000 system.
Backup power supply can be installed
By installing the optional HK-PSU04 Power Supply Unit,
together with the power supply unit preinstalled at the
factory, this provides a backup system. This reduces the
risk of power supply problems, and increases the reliability
of live operations.
High-performance color correction
Installation of the optional MKS-8442G Frame Memory
Board and BZS-6420 Color Corrector Software provides
high-performance, two-channel color correction
functionality.
Simple P/P (Program/Preset) functions
Simple mix/effect functions can be added by installing the
BZS-6250 Simple P/P Software option.
The BZS-6250 option supports the following functions.
•Twokeyers

POWER A, B switches and status indicators
The POWER switches turn the unit on and off. The unit is
powered on when the POWER switches are on the “ ?”
side, and powered off when the POWER switches are on
the “a” side. The status indicators light in green when the
unit is powered on.
Depending on the configuration of your unit when
shipped, the HK-PSU04 Power Supply Unit may not be
installed. In this case, only the POWER A switch is
available. There is no POWER B switch. The unit does not
operate until either of the two power switches (A and B) is
on.
When the HK-PSU04 is installed, operation continues as
long as one power supply is normal.
Notes
• When installing the HK-PSU04 in your unit, be sure to
contact your Sony service representative.
• If a status indicator does not light when you turn a
POWER switch on, there may be a fault in the power
circuits. Turn the POWER switch off and contact your
Sony service representative.

kREF INPUT (reference video input) connectors
(BNC-type)
If you wish to synchronize this unit to an external reference
signal, input the reference signal. For an HDTV system,
input an HD tri-level sync signal, black burst signal, or
analog sync signal. For an SDTV system, input a black
burst signal or analog sync signal.
The two connectors have a loop-through configuration.
Signal input to one connector can be output from the other
connector. If you will not be using the loop-through
output, be sure to terminate the unused connector with the
supplied 75Ωterminator.
lPRIMARY INPUTS 1 to 49 connectors (BNC-type)
These connectors can be used to input up to 49 serial
digital video signals.

monitor or external device. These outputs are useful for
outputting a primary input signal with as little delay as
possible.
nOUTPUTS 1 to 24 connectors (BNC-type)
These connectors output serial digital signals. You can
assign them freely as program output, preview output,
AUX output, and so on.
Outputs 1, 2, 13 to 16 are each constituted by two BNC-
type connectors, and outputs 3 to 12, 17 to 24 are each
constituted by one BNC-type connector.
Make output assignments on the MVS-6000 system center
control panel.
Refer to the User’s Guide for information about signals
that may be assigned.
FC1 and 2 (slot 2) connectors (BNC-type): MVS-6000
(MKS-8450G)
The connectors output signals converted with the format
converter function.
Assign the outputs on the center control panel of the MVS-
6000 system.
