Page 30: Introduction
Introduction This manual is the User’s Guide for the MVS-8000/8000SF Multi Format Switcher system. The MVS-8000 and MVS-8000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, but are otherwise functionally identical. This manual refers to these generically as the “MVS-8000 system,” and describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-8000 of center control panels.

Page 33: Features Of The Mvs-8000 Multi Format 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 34 Powerful frame memory functions In an MVS-8000 system, an HDTV system can hold 58 still image frames (88 frames in 720P/59.94 format), and an SDTV system can store 222 frames in memory, while up to eight frames can be recalled and used simultaneously.
Page 35: 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 36 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 37 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 38 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 39: 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 40: 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. Resizer This function allows you to apply effects, similar to a DME, such as zoom, movement, or aspect ratio change to a part of a created key.
Page 41: Dme Wipes
DME Wipes 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. The patterns that can be used for a DME wipe are as follows.
Page 42: Copy And Swap
Copy and Swap This function can be used to copy and swap the settings among the M/E-1 to M/E-3, and PGM/PST banks or between keyers. The following settings can be copied or swapped. • Overall settings for the M/E and PGM/PST banks •...
Page 43: Side Flags
Side Flags The term “side flags” refers to the areas to left and right of an image with aspect ratio 4:3 embedded within a 16:9 frame, when these areas are filled with a separate image selected from the utility 1 bus. Image to fill the side flag Input source with aspect ratio areas (selected from utility 1...

Simple P/P Software By installing the BZS-8250 Simple P/P Software in the MVS-8000A/ 8000ASF/8000G/8000GSF Switcher Processor, you can use a separate program/preset function without using the M/E hardware.
Page 45: 3D Support
3D Support Installing the BZS-8560 switcher upgrade software in an MVS-8000G, and the BZDM-8560 DME upgrade software in an MVE-8000A, enables the processing of video in 3D mode. For details, see “3D Support” (page 511). Basic Video Processing...
Page 46: 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 47: 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 48: 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 49: 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 50: 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 51: 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 172: 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 173: Setting The Transition Rate
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 174 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 175 • 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. Press the [ENTR] button. This confirms the entry, and the new setting appears in the transition control block display.
Page 176 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. The transition control block display of the same bank (M/E or PGM/PST) also shows the setting. To enter a difference from the current value After pressing the [+/–] button, enter the difference and press the [TRIM] button.
Page 177 Press the [TRANS] 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. If required, press the [TC] button to switch the input mode (frame count input or timecode input).
Page 178: Pattern Limit
For more details, see “Displaying a List of Transition Rates and Changing the Settings” (page 452). Pattern Limit When a wipe or DME wipe pattern is selected for the transition, you can specify the range of movement of the wipe pattern through the course of the transition, for each bank independently.

Page 188: 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.

Page 288: Overview
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 289: 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. This section describes the basic procedures for wipe settings, taking the M/E- 1 >Wipe menu as an example.

Page 310 Applying modulation to the wipe pattern (Modulation) The pattern signal can be modulated, giving waves on the horizontal or vertical edges, or radially. The parameter Shape determines the form of the modulation. 1: sine wave, 2: triangular wave, 3: rectangular wave Notes When using 1080PsF mode in an HD system, the modulation function is not available.
Page 311 Fringe This modulates the pattern, applying waviness in the radial direction to edges. The parameter Speed determines the speed of waves. A value of –100.00 generates the maximum counterclockwise speed of waves, and a value of +100.00 the maximum clockwise speed. You can apply modulation independently to the main pattern and sub pattern.
Page 312 Applying barrel or pincushion distortion to the edge of the wipe pattern (Spring) As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion. Spring off Spring on A negative parameter value produces pincushion distortion, and a positive value produces barrel distortion.
Page 313 • The parameter Magnitude determines the size and direction of the spiral. A value of –100.00 represents the maximum movement in the counterclockwise direction, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum movement in the clockwise direction. • The parameter Wave Speed determines the speed of the lateral waves. A value of –100.00 represents the maximum speed to the left, and a value of +100.00 represents the maximum speed to the right.

Page 334: 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 361.
Page 335 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 336 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 337 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.

The MVE-8000A is a “Digital Multi Effects” with multi-format support. For the MVE-8000A, a dedicated interface (MKE-9020M) is available to enable the MVE-8000A to be used in an MVS-8000 series switcher. Installation of an optional MKE-8021A Input/Output Board in the MVE- 8000A provides an SDI interface.
Page 573: Three-Dimensional Transformations
Two interfaces are available for the MVE-9000: a dedicated interface (MKE- 9020M) for use in an MVS-8000 series switcher, and an SDI interface (MKE- 9021M). Notes When using the SDI interface, the following operations are different from when using the dedicated interface.

Page 586: 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 573). Basic Operations This section explains how to use the device control block (trackball) to carry out three-dimensional transformations.
Page 587 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 588 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 589 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 590 • To change on the z-axis, rotate the Z-ring. Parameter values increase as you rotate clockwise, and decrease as you rotate counterclockwise.

Page 795 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 796: 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 932). Keyframe effect registers Dedicated effect registers There are 99 dedicated registers for keyframe effects in each region, numbered 1 to 99.
Page 797 Master timeline registers There are 99 master timeline registers, numbered 1 to 99, for each control panel. They store keyframe effect regions and the register numbers saved in the regions. Snapshot registers These are registers for snapshots, and there are 99, numbered 1 to 99 for each region.
Page 798: 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 799: 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 800: 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 830).) 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 801 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 845).) In constant duration mode (see page 800), it is not possible to change the keyframe duration setting.
Page 802 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 800), 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 803 Notes In constant duration mode (see page 800), 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 804: 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 848). Switcher path settings Carry out path settings in the Key Frame menu.
