Page 26: Introduction
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.

Page 28: Features Of The Dvs-9000 Production Switcher System
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.
Page 29 LCD displays. The signal names, and graphical representations of the patterns associated with buttons provide intuitive feedback, and allow the immediate decisions that are required in a live operating environment. Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System...
Page 30: Basic Video Processing
Basic Video Processing This section introduces basic functions used for video processing on the switcher. Transitions 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.
Page 31 Inserting and deleting a key You can insert one or more of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/ PST bank). If you select a key which is already inserted, the transition will delete the key. A simultaneous combination of deleting and inserting keys is also possible. Key 1 Insert Delete...
Page 32 Simultaneously changing the background and keys You can change any of the four keys (downstream keys on the PGM/PST bank) and the background at the same time. Key 1 Transition Key 2 Changing the background and key 2 simultaneously Key 1 Transition Key 2 Key 4...
Page 33 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 two modes. Independent Key Transitions In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank.
Page 34: Keys
Effect of use with an independent key transition The key is inserted with an independent key transition as the background changes with a common transition, providing the following result. Different wipe patterns are applied to Independent key Transition type: the background and key transitions. transition type: wipe wipe...
Page 35: Wipes
Masks A mask allows a part of the image to be replaced by the background or a key. To prevent unwanted holes in the background, or if a key is not the desired shape, you can correct this with a mask. Wipes A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern.
Page 36: Frame Memory
You can also specify the wipe direction, or set the pattern position, applying various changes and modifiers to the selected DME wipe pattern. For details, see Chapter 6 “DME Wipes” (page 311). Frame Memory Frame memory is a function for using a still image or video (frame memory clip) as material for editing.
Page 37: Video Process
• YUV clip For details, see Chapter 9 “Color Corrector” (page 421). Simple P/P Software By installing the BZS-9250 simple P/P software in the DVS-9000/9000SF Switcher Processor, you can use the program/preset function without using M/ E hardware. For details, see “Simple P/P Software” (page 442).
Page 38: Creation Of Special Effects And Management Of Data And Operations
Creation of Special Effects and Management of Data and Operations This section introduces functions used for creation of special effects, control of external devices or switcher operations, and data management. Digital Multi Effects (DME) When used with the switcher, DME allows you to add three-dimensional effects such as image movement, rotation, magnification and shrinking, as well as a wide variety of special effects.
Page 39: External Devices
• Disk recorder (Sony disk 9-pin protocol and video disk communications protocol) • Extended VTR (Abekas A53 protocol) For details on the devices that can be connected, consult your Sony representative. You can control an external device by previously registering timeline keyframes.
Page 40: Snapshots
The following figure shows three keyframes created with a wipe pattern (the circle) in different positions. This is interpolated to create the effect shown. Background A Interpolated images Background B Keyframe 1 Keyframe 2 Keyframe 3 Effect execution Example of keyframes and effect execution You can save the sequence of keyframes representing a single effect in a register.
Page 41: Utility
These conditions are called “attributes” of the snapshot, and can be added when the snapshot is saved or recalled. For details, see Chapter 14 “Snapshots” (Volume 2). Utility The utility function refers to a function whereby you can assign an arbitrary action or a shortcut for frequently used menu to a particular button, then instantly recall the action or menu by pressing the button.
Page 42: Files
Macro attachment Macro attachment is a function whereby a macro register is assigned to a control panel button or a particular position of a fader lever, linking the execution of the button function or a fader lever operation with a macro execution.
Page 43: Setup
Setup Various settings are required, in order to operate the switcher, control panel, DME, external devices, and so on, connected together in a single system. This is referred to as “setup,” and you can carry out the setup operations from the Engineering Setup menu.

Page 167: Executing A Transition
Executing a Transition There are two modes of executing a transition: an auto transition by button operation or a manual transition using the fader lever. It is also possible to combine both methods, taking control with the fader lever of an auto transition which has partly completed, or complete a transition started with the fader lever as an auto transition.
Page 168: Setting The Transition Rate
For example, in the previous illustration, it can be seen that the transition is more than half completed. When the transition is completed, all of the LEDs go off. Setting the Transition Rate There are three ways of setting the transition rate: using the Flexi Pad control block, Multifunction Flexi Pad control block or numeric keypad control block to enter a numeric value, or using the Misc menu to access the Transition menu for the M/E or PGM/PST bank.
Page 169 Note The setting is common to all banks of the switcher. Frame display mode: Values are shown as from 0 to 999 frames. In this display mode, a value entered in timecode input mode is converted for display as a number of frames. Timecode display mode: Values are shown as timecode values, consisting of seconds and frames.
Page 170 Enter the desired transition rate with the numeric keypad. If required, press the [TC] button to toggle the input mode (frame input or timecode input). • Enter a value of up to three digits. • To cancel the entry, press any of the six buttons in the leftmost column ([WIPE], [DME], ...) or the [TRANS RATE] button.
Page 171 If required, press the [TC] button to toggle the input mode (frame input or timecode input). • Enter a value of up to three digits. • To clear the entry, press the [CLR] button. Press the [ENTER] button. This confirms the entry, and the selected region name and the set transition rate appear in the numeric keypad control block display.
Page 172 The button displays in the memory recall section change as shown in the following illustration, and you can select the type of transition for which to set the rate. Press the [KEY1] button. You can now set the M/E-1 block background transition rate. Watching the alphanumeric display, enter the transition rate you want to set with the memory recall section button.

Page 183: Independent Key Transitions
Independent Key Transitions What is an independent key transition? In addition to common transitions, it is possible to carry out independent transitions on the keyers of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank. These are called “independent key transitions.” By carrying out an independent key transition in combination with a common transition, different transition types can be used for the background and keys.

Overview A wipe is a transition from the current video stream to a new video stream, using a wipe pattern. Changing the background by means of a wipe is referred to 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 selected in a common transition, and those that can be selected in an independent key transition.
Page 267: Basic Procedure For Wipe Settings
Basic Procedure for Wipe Settings You carry out wipe setting operations principally using the Wipe menu for each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks.

Page 312: Overview
Overview A DME wipe is a wipe transition that uses a DME effect to change from one video image to the next. There are two types of DME wipe: those which can be selected for a normal transition, and those which can be selected for an independent key transition. For details of independent key transitions, see page 183.
Page 313 Slide: The new video slides in over the old video. (Pattern numbers: 1001 to 1008 (one-channel mode), 2601 to 2608 (two- channel mode)) Squeeze: The new video appears squeezed over the old video, and progressively expands to cover it. (Pattern numbers: 1021 to 1031 (one-channel mode), 2621 to 2628 (two- channel mode)) Split: The old video splits, and the new video appears in the gap.
Page 314 Picture-in-picture: The one-channel mode and two-channel mode differ as follows. In one-channel mode, this completes in two transitions. In the first transition, the old video shrinks, and the new video appears behind it. In the second transition, the old video expands again until it is its original size.
Page 315 In three-channel mode, a brick appears over the old video as the image is expanding and rotating, and switches to the new video. (Pattern number: 3601 (three-channel mode)) User programmable DME: Using a DME keyframe effect created with a keyframe operation, this executes a DME wipe. (Pattern numbers: 1901 to 1999 (one-channel mode), 2901 to 2999 (two- channel mode), 3901 to 3999 (three-channel mode)) For details of creating keyframe effects, see “Creating User...

MVE-8000A Multi Format DME Processor The MVE-8000A is a “Digital Multi Effects” with multi-format support. To connect the DME to a DVS-9000 series switcher, install an optional MKE- 8021A Input/Output Board in the MVE-8000A and use an SDI interface. Note When using the SDI interface, the following operations are required.
Page 496: Three-Dimensional Transformations
– “Setting the Interface Between the DME and the Switcher” (see Chapter 16 (Volume 3)) – “Setting the AUX Bus Output and Reentry input” (see Chapter 20 (Volume • On the MVE-9000, the method of combiner channel selection is different from that on the BKDS-9470.
Page 497 For example, as shown in the following figure, the image moves in a different direction when you move it along the x-axis of the source coordinate space and along the x-axis of the target coordinate space. Source coordinate space Target coordinate space Movement along the x-axes of the source coordinate space and target coordinate space Local coordinate space and global coordinate space...
Page 498 The standard values of parameters are as follows, depending on the aspect ratio of your monitor (4:3 or 16:9). Values for 4:3 mode • Origin at center of image (source coordinate space) or center of monitor (target coordinate space) x = 0.00, y = 0.00, z = 0.00 •...

Page 501: Transformation Operation Modes
Source/target conversion occurs in the following operation modes: • Location XYZ • Rotation Transformation Operation Modes The following operation modes are available for three-dimensional DME transformations. These operations are carried out in the device control block (trackball or joystick). (For details, see “Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations”...
Page 502 Image rotation in the source coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Image rotation in the target coordinate space Rotation around the y-axis Rotation around the x-axis Rotation around the z-axis Spin When rotating the image in Rotation mode, it may not always be possible to achieve the kind of rotation around an axis that you want.
Page 503 Location Size Changes the size of the whole image. • Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the source coordinate space is done in three-dimensional space, magnifying the image emphasizes the sense of perspective. • Because shrinking and magnification of the image in the target coordinate space is a conversion of the two-dimensional image displayed on the monitor, shrinking and magnification does not change the shape of the image.
Page 504: Graphics Display
Perspective In the target coordinate space, changes the perspective on the image by changing an imaginary view point, without changing the position of the image. The x-axis and y-axis values define the position of the view point. The z-axis value defines its distance from the image. Change of view point on Change of view point on Change of distance from...

Note The Flex Shadow center axis function is not supported on the MVE-8000A. Three-Dimensional Parameter Display You can display a three-dimensional parameter list for the currently controlled image. When more than one DME channel is selected, the status of the reference channel is displayed.
Page 508: Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations
Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations Use the device control block to carry out three-dimensional DME transformations. For details of three-dimensional DME coordinate space, see “Three- Dimensional Transformations” (page 496). Basic Operations This section explains how to use the device control block (trackball) to carry out three-dimensional transformations.
Page 509 Buttons used when the three-dimensional transform operation mode is enabled LOCAL: Enable operations in the DME local coordinate space. GLB (global): Enable operations in the DME global coordinate space. The [LOCAL] and [GLB] buttons can be selected at the same time. SRC (source): Enable operations in the DME source coordinate space.
Page 510 CTR (center): Pressing this button changes the values of the three- dimensional parameters currently controlled by the trackball and Z-ring to the closest detent values. Pressing twice in rapid succession returns the parameter values to their defaults. Transforming an image in three-dimensional coordinate space With the region selection buttons, select the target channel of the operation.
Page 511 You can move the axis of rotation of the image on the x- and y-axes of the image with the trackball, and on the z-axis with the Z-ring. To magnify or shrink the image: Press the [LOC SIZE] button, turning it on.
Page 512 • To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring. Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you rotate counterclockwise. However, when you have pressed the [LOC XYZ] button to move the image, z-axis parameters increase as you rotate counterclockwise, and decrease as you rotate clockwise.

Page 701: Regions
Regions The term “region” refers to some sort of functional block of the system. When saving or recalling snapshot registers and effect registers, or creating or editing effects, you first select the region to which the operation applies. You can also select multiple regions simultaneously. Classification of the regions The regions are classified as follows.
Page 702 Notes on saving or recalling a frame memory still image for or by a snapshot/keyframe • The saving and recalling of frame memory images for snapshots and keyframes is restricted to the still images or clips on the eight frame memory outputs.
Page 703: Registers
Registers A register is an area of memory in a device which holds a snapshot, keyframe, macro, and so on. For details of macros, see “Macros” (page 839). Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99.
Page 704 Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region. Master snapshot registers There are 99 master snapshot registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store snapshot regions and the register numbers saved in the regions.
Page 705: Keyframes
Keyframes A keyframe represents an instantaneous state of an image; it can be saved and recalled for reuse. Effects By arranging a number of keyframes on the time axis, and interpolating between successive keyframes, you can create an effect in which there is a continuous change from each keyframe to the next.
Page 706: Effect Editing
These conditions are called “attributes” of the effect, and can be added when the keyframe effect is saved or recalled. Type of attribute The attribute that can be attached to an effect is as follows. Effect dissolve: The transition from the state before the effect recall to the state at the effect start point is carried out smoothly, by a dissolve.
Page 707: Time Settings
Duration modes In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Creating and Editing Keyframes” (page 737).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe increases or reduces the duration. Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration.
Page 708 Keyframe duration: This is the time from the keyframe to the next keyframe. You can set this time in the keyframe control block. (See “Setting the Keyframe Duration” (page 752).) In constant duration mode (see page 707), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Page 709 Note In constant duration mode (see page 707), the duration of the current keyframe is reduced to zero, and the new keyframe is inserted with the previous duration of the current keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Insertion position Change in effect duration Insertion before the first keyframe...
Page 710 Note In constant duration mode (see page 707), the duration of the keyframe before the deleted keyframe is increased by the duration of the deleted keyframe. Thus the effect duration does not change. Deletion position Change in effect duration Deletion of the first keyframe Deletion of an intermediate keyframe...
Page 711: Paths
Paths The term “path” refers to the specification of how interpolation is carried out from one keyframe to the next. Images are interpolated from an edit point to the next one according to the path setting. For details of the path setting procedure, see “Path Setting” (page 755). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu.

Overview The term “snapshot” refers to a function whereby the various settings required to apply a particular effect to an image are saved in memory as a set of data, for recall as required, to recover the original state. You can carry out snapshot operations using the numeric keypad control block (see page 788), the Flexi Pad control block (see page 793), the Multifunction Flexi Pad control block (see page 799), and the Snapshot menu (see page 806).
Page 785: Snapshot Attributes
Note To carry out DME wipe snapshots requires the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set or the MVE-8000A/9000 DME Processor. The rest of this section describes the snapshots that apply to a particular region or regions. Snapshot Attributes An individual snapshot may also have attached special conditions relating to switcher or DME operation when the snapshot is recalled.
Page 786 The trigger type depends on the switcher GPI output settings made in the Setup menu. For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface Menu)” under “Switcher Setup” in Chapter 20 (Volume 3).

Page 916: Overview Of File Operations
Overview of File Operations You can save register data, including setup information and snapshot information, as a file on a hard disk or memory card, and recall it as required. You can operate on individual files or registers, or together in a batch. Regarding frame memory, it is possible to capture image data stored in an external device into frame memory.
Page 917 Notes on transferring multiple frame memory files together to a memory card • Transferring all of the files within frame memory together fails if the capacity of the memory card is too small to hold all of the images. In this case, replace with a larger capacity memory card, or delete files until saving is possible.
Page 918 Note This functionality has been tested and confirmed to work with TIFF files created by Photoshop, but it may not be possible to use TIFF files created with some other software. (Photoshop is a trademark of Adobe Systems Incorporated.) About import image size Pay attention to the following, depending on the signal format which you use.

Page 940 Press [tCopy]. A confirmation message appears. • Select “Yes” to carry out the copy to the specified destination of the selected file categories. • Select “No” to cancel the copy. Note If there is already data present in the copy destination, note that this will overwrite all of the data.
Page 941: Saving Files Recalled By Autoload
Saving Files Recalled by Autoload If you save effect setting data, frame memory image files and so on in the PWON_LD directory on the hard disk, then when the system is powered on this data is recalled automatically. This is known as the autoload function. To save the data to be recalled by the autoload function, use the menu for operations on individual files.
Page 942 • To select a single file, press the arrow keys to scroll the reverse video cursor, or directly press on the list in the status area. Press [tSave]. The data from the selected registers is saved in the specified destination. If the specified destination already contains data, a confirmation message appears.

Page 949: Macro File Editing Rules
Macro File Editing Rules When editing a macro file, follow the rules described below. Macro File Syntax The macro file syntax is as follows. File format The file is in CSV (comma-separated value) format. Newline code CR (ASCII code 0D), LF (ASCII code 0A), or CRLF may be used. Statement syntax There are four types of statement, each terminated by a newline code.
Page 950: Syntax Of Event And Continue Statements
Some events cannot be used. (See “Correspondence Between Events and Symbols” (page 952).) Syntax of Event and Continue Statements An event can be written with an Event statement only, or with an Event statement followed by any number of Continue statements. The Event statements and Continue statements have the following syntax.
Page 951: File Name
To specify more than one argument for a region parameter, follow the Event statement by a Continue statement on the next line. File Name Set the file name as follows. Example: nnnnnnnn.PNL_rrrr.PMR nnnnnnnn: In a file created on the switcher, this is a register name automatically set by the switcher.
Page 952: Errors
Path example: Memory Card\Sample\MACRO\CTRLCPU\ nnnnnnnn.PNL_rrrr.PMR Errors If any of the following problems occur, it is not possible to recall the file. Attempting to recall the file will produce an error message. • If there is a syntax error. • If a required parameter is not present. For details of error messages, see “Error Messages”...
