dOUTPUTS
1 to 16 connectors (BNC-type)1): MVS-6520
1 to 32 connectors (BNC-type)1): MVS-6530
These connectors output serial digital signals. You can
assign them as program output, preview output, AUX
output, and so on.
Make output assignments on the MVS-6500 system
control panel.
For details about output signals and settings, refer to the
User’s Guide.
eTALLY/GPI IN (tally/ general purpose interface
input) 1 to 18 and TALLY/GPI OUT (tally/ general
purpose interface output) 1 to 48 connectors (D-sub
25-pin)
Output tally data created with the control panel of the
MVS-6500 system (open collector).
These connectors can also be used as GPI output ports.
You can also input trigger signals as GPI inputs.
Input and output settings are made on the control panel of
the MVS-6500 system.
fSERIAL TALLY connector (D-sub 9-pin,
RS-422A)
Output tally data created with the control panel of the
MVS-6500 system.
gREMOTE 1 to 4 connectors (D-sub 9-pin, RS-
422A)
Connect devices supporting Sony 9-pin VTR, VDCP
(Video Disk Communications Protocol), or P-Bus
(Peripheral II Protocol) protocols.

iFM (frame memory) DEVICE connector (USB 2.0
compliant)
This connector is for attaching an external HDD for frame
memory.2)
jS-BUS connector (BNC-type)1)
Connect this connector with a BNC cable to an S-Bus data
link via a T bridge.
Connecting devices such as IXS series routing switchers
and MKS-8080/8082 AUX bus remote panels via an S-Bus
data link enables the following kinds of control.
• Returning to the S-Bus, tally data created by this unit on
the basis of data received from other devices
• Switching the cross-points of a routing switcher from the
control panel
• Switching the cross-points of a switcher from the remote
panel
• Displaying on the control panel source names set on a
routing switcher

compliant)
Intended for future expansion.
lREMOTE S1 and S2 connectors (D-sub 9-pin, RS-
422A compliant)
These connectors are used to operate the MVS-6500
system from external devices or editing control systems
such as the BVE-9100.
Define the types of the connected devices on the control
panel.
mMVS (multi format video switcher) connector
(RJ-45 compliant)
Connect to an ICP-6520/6530 control panel.
For details about connecting a DCU and MVE-8000A/
9000 multi format DME processor, refer to the User’s
Guide.
nUTIL (SW) (utility (SW)) connector (RJ-45
compliant)
Intended for future expansion.
oREF INPUT (reference video input) connectors
(BNC-type)1)
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 75 ohm terminator.
1) Attach the cable connected to the BNC-type connectors to the rack or other
support so there is no load on the connector. There is a risk of damage to
the BNC-type connectors and cable.
2) For information about devices that can be connected, contact your Sony
representative.

Turning Power On/Off
After connecting the system, turn on the power using the
following procedure.
1 Set the POWER A and B switches of the switcher
processor to ON (“?” side).
When the switcher processor is turned on, the status
indicators for supplies A and B light green.
2 Check that the status indicators on the control panel
are lit green, then press the POWER switch.
The POWER switch mark “1” lights green.
The control panel boots in approximately one minute,
and the top menu list appears on the menu panel
screen.

has an [M/E2] button.)
3 Pull the fader lever down from top to bottom.
When “Non Sync” or “Sync” appears at the top and
bottom stops of the fader lever (non-sync state), the
fader lever movement and transitions do not match.
Pull the fader level from top to bottom to release non-
sync state.
4 Turn on the power of other devices in the system.
Screen saver and panel sleep mode
If no operation is performed for a given time, the menu
display screen saver starts. The brightness of all indicators
and displays on the control panel also dims.
For details about settings, refer to the User’s Guide.
To turn the power off
1 On the menu screen, check that the local disk is not
being accessed.
A “local disk” refers to the internal flash memory drive
in a control panel.
While the system is accessing the local disk or frame
memory external HDD, the indicator on the menu page
number button lights red.
Check to make sure the indicator is not lit before
turning off the power.
Remove all USB flash memory and other removable
disks before turning off the power.
2 Shut down the control panel.
Press the menu page number button and display the top
menu window, then press the [Shutdown] button.
