Features
The MVS-8000X/7000X Multi Format Switchersystem
boasts extensible high performance and multi-
functionality. The following are some of the principal
features of thissystem.
System configuration flexibility
Multiformat support
This system supports both HDTV and SDTVsignal
formats.
The format selection can be switched by a simplecontrol
panel operation.
Extensible system configuration
By suitable combination of options, the switcher canbe
configured with various inputs and outputs, anddifferent
numbers ofM/Ebanks.Thesystem offers the flexibilityto
change and expand as required.
You can connect up to two MVE-8000A or MVE-9000
DME processors, to provide up to eight channels of DME
functionality. When the signal format is 1080P, you can
connect up to four MVE-8000A units.
For the MVS-7000X, by installing the optionalMKS-
7470X/7471X DME board set, up to four channels of
DME functionality are available.
You can use a maximum of eight channels ofDME
functionality in the whole switchersystem.
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 VTRsand
disk recorders.
Powerful tally system
The complete system, including a routing switcher, can be
usedtoconstructatallysystem.The systemcanbeadapted
to different applications and settings using multipletally
outputs, including both on-air and recordingtallies.
Comprehensive videomanipulation
M/E banks
Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped witheight
keyers, each of which is capable not only ofchroma
keying, but also independent key transitions separate from
background transitions. The eight keys can be freely
combined, to carry out four different programoutputs.
Powerful frame memoryfunctions
The framememory can holdapproximately1000 framesin
an HD system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94
format), or approximately 5000 frames in an SD system in
480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in576i/
50 format, and allows eight frames (four frames in1080P
format) to be recalledsimultaneously.
Link operation with DME
You can use a wide range of DME functions, including
DME wipes and processed key functions, as thoughthey
were part of the standard switcher functionset.
Designed for use in a live broadcasting
environment
Flexible control panel layout
Because of its modular design, the various sections of the
control panel can be laid out as required. This allowsa
flexible layout appropriate to the systemoperation.
High-performance user interface
The menu panel provides a large color LCD panel, with
rapid touch-panel menu selection.
The buttons in the cross-point Flexi Pad, Flexi Pad control
block, and utility/shotbox control block have LCD
displays. The functions names, status, wipe patterns,etc.
have graphical representations that provide intuitive
feedback, and aid immediate decision making requiredin
a live operatingenvironment.

Basic Video Processing
This section introduces basic functions used forvideo
processing on the switcher.
Inserting and deleting a key
You can insert one or more of the eight keys (or
downstream keys 1 to 8 on the PGM/PST bank) intothe
image.
If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition
will delete the key.
Asimultaneouscombinationofdeletingandinsertingkeys
is also possible.
Transition
In the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, the switch from the
current video stream (appearing on the corresponding
program monitor) to a new video stream is referred to as a
transition.
In the M/E banks andPGM/PST bank, you can changeone
image on the background or on keys 1 to 8 (downstream
keys 1 to 8 in the PGM/PST bank), and also vary the
combination of thesesimultaneously.
Note
When the signal format is 1080P, only keys 1 to 4 canbe
used.
The following are examples of basictransitions.
Changing the background
A background transition switches fromthe video currently
selected on the background A bus (the currentvideo) to the
video selected on the background B bus (the newvideo).
Inthedefaultselectionofflip-flopmode(seepage87),the
background alwaysswitchesinthedirectionAbus t B

Simultaneously changing thebackground
and keys
You can change one or more of the eight keys
(downstream keys 1 to 8 on the PGM/PST bank) andthe
background at the same time.
Changing the background and keys 1 to 2simultaneously
Changing the background and keys 1 to 4simultaneously
Selecting the transition type determines the way inwhich
the transitionoccurs.
The following transition types areavailable.
• Mix
• NAM (non-additive mix)
• Super mix
• Preset color mix (color matte)
• Wipe
• DME Wipe
• Clip transition
• Cut
There are two modes for carrying out a transition:auto
transitions are carried out by a button operation,and
manual transitions are carried out using the fader lever.It
is also possible to combine these twomodes.
Independent key transition
In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry
outindependenttransitionsonthe keyersofthe M/E banks
and PGM/PST bank.
By carrying out an independent key transition in
combinationwith acommontransition,differenttransition
types can be used for the background and keys.
The following compares the independent key transition
withacommontransition,takingasimultaneouschangeof
the background and key as an example.

Effect of use with an independent keytransition
The key is inserted with an independent key transitionas
the background changes with a common transition,
providing the followingresult.
Each M/E bank and the PGM/PST bank has eightkeyers,
and all of these keyers provide the same functions.
You can use the following key types (methods of
processing the keysource).
• Luminance key
• Linear key
• Color vector key
• Chroma key
• Wipe pattern key
• Key wipe pattern key
Key modifiers
You can apply borders and other modifiers to the edgeof
the key image.
Masks
A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced bythe
background or a key. You can correct the image, suchas
unwanted holes that appear in the background or whena
key is not the desired shape, usingmasks.
Resizer
This function allows you to apply effects, such aszoom,
movement, oraspectratiochangetoapartofacreatedkey.
The following functions areavailable.
• Two-dimensional transform of keys
• Rotation of keys
• Resizer interpolation settings
• Resizer crop/border settings
• Resizer effect settings (wide key border, dropshadow,
edge enhancement, mosaic, defocus, mask)
For details, see “Keys” (page 95).
Wipes
For details, see “Signal Selection and Transitions”
(page 67).
Keys
A key is an effect in which a part of the background image
is replaced by an image or superimposed text. Thesignal
determining how the background is cut out is termedthe
“key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-outpart
is termed the “key fill.” The system component
responsible for processing a key is referred to as a “keyer.”
A wipe is a transition from the current video stream toa
new video stream, using a wipepattern.
Changing thebackground bymeans ofa wipeis referredto
as a “background wipe,” and inserting or deleting a key
with a wipe is termed a “key wipe.”
There are two types of wipe: those that can be selectedin
a common transition, and those that can be selected inan
independent key transition.
The patterns that can be used for a wipe are asfollows.
• Standard wipes
• Enhanced wipes
• Rotary wipes
• Mosaic wipes
• Random/diamond dust wipes
You can combine two selected patterns (referred toas
“main” and “sub”) to create a new pattern (patternmix).
Transition type: wipe
Same wipe is applied to background and key.
Transition type: wipe
Independent key transition
type: wipe
Different wipe patterns are applied to the
background and key transitions.
