Page 18: 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 19 System nomenclature The following terms are used for systems, depending on the combination of installed options, and the signal format. System configuration and features Term for system A system in which the center control panel has 4M/E system four M/E banks A system in which the center control panel has 3M/E system three M/E banks...

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 21 Powerful frame memory functions The frame memory can store 444 frames, and up to eight of these can be recalled simultaneously. Link operation with DME Using the BKDS-9470 DME Board Set (option), a range of DME functions including DME wipes and processed keys can be handled as switcher functions.
Page 22: Video Processing Flow
Video Processing Flow The following illustration shows the flow of operations for carrying out a transition on an M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank. Select current background video (page 22) Select next transition (page 31) Background Keys 1 to 4 Select new background video (page 22) Make key settings (page 45) Select transition type (page 38)
Page 23: Signal Selection
Signal Selection You carry out signal selection with the cross-point buttons in the cross-point control block of each M/E bank or the PGM/PST bank, and the buttons in the auxiliary bus control block. The number of buttons in each cross-point row may be 16, 24, or 32, but here the description is of the 32-button case as an example.
Page 24: Basics Of Signal Selection
Basics of Signal Selection Each of the M/E banks, PGM/PST bank and auxiliary bus control block has 32 cross-point buttons and three reentry buttons (four in the case of the auxiliary bus control block). These buttons are identified by numbers common to all of the banks and block, and a signal is assigned to each number.

For details of the setting, see Chapter 16, “Cross-Point Settings (Xpt Assign menu)” (Volume 2). Note • For details of audio mixers that can be connected, contact your Sony service or sales representative. • When the signal is switched with a snapshot, keyframe, and so on, the audio mixer is not linked.
Page 32: Transitions
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. Selecting the Next Transition To execute a transition, it is first necessary to decide how the image will be changed as a result of the transition.
Page 33 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 34 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 35: Independent Key Transitions
The key priority values go from 1 to 4, with a higher priority key being “in front” as seen on the screen. Priority sequence on the screen 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.
Page 36 Effect of a common transition In the case shown in the previous illustration, carrying out a common transition produces the following change in the image. Same wipe is applied to Transition type: wipe background and key. Effect of a common transition 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.
Page 37 Simultaneous execution If the [AUTO TRANS] buttons for the two transitions are pressed simultaneously, the following is the result. Note that in both cases the common transition is a wipe and the independent key transition is a mix (dissolve). Deleting a key with simultaneous transitions: With the key inserted, it is deleted simultaneously with the two transitions.
Page 38 Time offset execution with the key inserted: With the key inserted, it is deleted with the two transitions acting with a time offset. Whichever button is pressed first, when the common transition completes, even if the independent key transition is still not completed, the two end simultaneously.
Page 39: Transition Types

Example 2: When the common transition [AUTO TRANS] button is pressed later Independent Common The transition...
Page 40 NAM (non-additive mix) In this dissolve, the current video and new video signals are compared, and the signal with the higher luminance level is given priority in the output. The current video is maintained at 100% output for the first half of the transition as the new video increases progressively to 100%, then the current video is progressively reduced from 100% to zero in the second half with the new video maintained at 100% output.
Page 41 Note When the bus fixed mode is selected with a Setup menu setting, a preset color mix is always carried out in the one-stroke mode. • You can also make a setting such that when a preset color mix is completed, the next transition switches to the previous transition type automatically.
Page 42: Executing A Transition
When, with a key inserted, a key is selected in the next transition Key state preserved Key gradually removed Preset color mix (when set to preserve key state) Wipe A wipe replaces the current video by the new video according to a predetermined pattern.
Page 43 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. By combining common transitions with independent key transitions, different transition types can be applied to the background and keys, for example allowing a key wipe combined with a background dissolve.
Page 44 Flip-flop mode BLACK BLACK Bus fixed mode BLACK Fader lever BLACK Buttons lit BLACK BLACK Flip-flop mode and bus fixed mode For details of fader lever operation in bus fixed mode, see page 321. Transition preview With the preview output of the M/E banks and PGM/PST bank, you can check the effect of a transition in advance.
Page 45 • When the limit value is set to the maximum 100%, the image changes in exactly the same way as when the pattern limit function is off, but when the transition is completed, the cross-point selections on the background A and B buses do not interchange.
Page 46: Keys
Keys A key is an effect in which a part of the background image is replaced by an image or superimposed text. The signal determining how the background is cut out is termed “key source,” and the signal that replaces the cut-out part is termed “key fill.”...
Page 47 Clean mode In a luminance key, linear key or color vector key, you can enable the clean mode. When the clean mode is on, the key source does not affect the key fill, which is added unchanged to the background. This improves the keyed image quality, but means that the part of the key fill signal which is not to be inserted must be completely black, or it will color the background.
Page 48 Normal mix: The foreground is cut out with the key signal, and then combined with the background, which has also been cut out with the key signal. Additive mix: The background, which has been cut out with the key signal, is combined with the unshaped foreground.
Page 49 Angle Reference color specified by Hue setting Crop Range of colors creating the key signal Range of colors remaining (to be replaced by background signal) as foreground a) The Crop and Angle values do not change even if you use the auto chroma key function. Window adjustment Y balance In normal chroma keying, the key signal is based on the chrominance...
Page 50: Key Modifiers
For details of video adjustment operations and the adjustment items, see “Chroma Key Adjustments” (page 342). Wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for a transition as the key source. Key wipe pattern key This uses the wipe pattern selected for an independent key transition as the key source.
Page 51 Border This applies a uniform width border to the edge of the key. You can adjust the border width and density. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right border widths separately. Drop border This applies a border below and to the right for example, of the key.
Page 52 Outline This uses the outline of the original key as the key. You can adjust the width and density of the outline. You can also enable the separate edge function, and adjust the top, bottom, left, and right outline widths separately. Emboss This applies an embossing effect to the outline of the key.
Page 53 • When the edge type is border, outline, or emboss • When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on • When Fine Key is on Edge fill When a border, drop border, or shadow modifier is selected, you can select a signal to fill these edge effects.
Page 54: Key Memory
Main mask: This uses the signal from the dedicated box generator provided on each keyer, or the signal from the dedicated pattern generator as the mask source. When the box generator is selected, a rectangular mask is formed. You can adjust the positions of the four sides of the box separately.
Page 55: Blink
Blink The blink function provides the following effects. Key blink: The key is inserted and deleted at the specified frequency. You can also set the frequency and the proportion of the cycle for which the key is inserted. Edge blink: Key fill and key edge fill are interchanged at the specified frequency.
Page 56: Wipes
Wipes 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 57: Pattern Mix
Pattern Mix You can create a new pattern by combining two selected patterns (main and “sub”). Note It is not possible to apply a pattern mix to an independent key transition. For details, see “Pattern Mix” (page 387). Types of pattern mix There are four ways in which patterns can be combined in a pattern mix, as follows.
Page 58 Parameter settings Main pattern at 100% Start: Point in the course of the transition at which the main pattern Sub pattern at 100% is at 100% End: Point in the course of the transition at which the sub pattern is at 100% 0.00 100.00 Transition (0.00 - 100.00)
Page 59: Wipe Pattern Variation And Modifiers
Main and sub modifier link function When carrying out a pattern mix, it is possible to link the modifier settings for the main pattern and sub pattern. There are two modes for this function. FULL LINK (fully linked) mode In this mode, all modifier settings are the same for the main pattern and sub pattern.
Page 60 Direction You can specify the direction of the wipe: the regular direction is referred to as “normal,” and the other direction as “reverse.” You can also select alternating directions each time the transition is completed (normal/reverse mode). Reverse Normal Split This splits the pattern, making the parts of the wipe move in opposite directions.
Page 61 Edge You can apply a border to the pattern, soften the edges, or soften the applied border. In an independent key transition, only the “Soft” setting is available. Soft border Soft Border Border: You can adjust the border width. Soft: You can adjust the edge softness. Soft border: You can adjust the border width, and the softness of the inner and outer edges of the border.
Page 62 Angle This carries out a wipe with the pattern in a fixed angle. Angle off Angle on The parameter Angle determines the angle of pattern rotation. A value of –100.00 of the parameter Angle corresponds to one whole turn counterclockwise; a value of +100.00 corresponds to one whole turn clockwise.
Page 63 The parameter Angle determines an angle of pattern inclination at the beginning of the transition. • A value of –100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn counterclockwise. • A value of +100.00 corresponds to the angle rotated one whole turn clockwise.
Page 64 • The parameter H Multi determines the number of pattern replications horizontally, and the parameter V Multi determines the number of pattern replications vertically. • The parameter Shift determines the manner of replication. At a value of –100.00, the pattern of the adjacent odd-numbered column on the left lines up with the central coordinate horizontally.
Page 65 the right, and the odd-numbered pairs move to the left. The value +100.00 represents the maximum movement. • The parameter V Offset determines the spacing in the vertical direction. If a negative value is set, the even-numbered pairs of strip and slit move upward, and the odd-numbered pairs move downward.
Page 66 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. Spring As the transition progresses, the edge of the pattern is subjected to barrel or pincushion distortion.
Page 67: Wipe Snapshots
• 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 68: 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. For independent key transitions, see page 34.
Page 69 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 70 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 71 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...
Page 72 Transition mode “Compress” The change in the image when the transition mode is set to “Compress” is as follows, in comparison to the case of “Picture-in-picture.” • Example of the image change in the transition mode “Picture-in- picture” (one-channel mode) First stroke Second stroke •...

For details, see “Interfacing With External Devices (Device Interface Menu)” in “Setup Relating to Switcher Processor” section of Chapter 16 (Volume2). DME Wipe Pattern Variation and Modifiers You can modify the selected DME wipe pattern in the same way as an ordinary wipe pattern, as follows.
Page 77: Relation Between Dme Wipes And Other Effects
• 2851 to 2854, 2861 to 2864 When these pattern numbers are selected, you can set the pattern position for each channel setting when the first transition completes. Pattern limit: You can restrict the range of the transition as desired. However, this is not available for a DME wipe in the independent key transition control block.
Page 78: Dme Wipe Snapshots
Relation to processed keys When using the DME for a processed key, if you select a DME wipe, an available DME is automatically allocated to the DME wipe. If all of the DME channels are in use, then it is not possible to select a DME wipe. If in a Setup menu a setting has been made for DME allocation, that Setup menu setting takes precedence (see “Setting the assignments of DME channels to use on the individual M/E banks”...

Page 87: Image Data Transfer
Separate: You can also separate a pair file into two single still image files or clip files. Image Data Transfer Files can be transferred between such devices as a hard disk and memory card. In the File menu, files can be saved and recalled. It is possible to import images such as BMP files or convert frame memory files into a different format and save them in an external device.
Page 88: Color Backgrounds
Color Backgrounds The dedicated generators generate color signals, and these can be used as color backgrounds in video effects. Color background selection There are two color backgrounds, color background 1 and color background 2, which you use by assigning to cross-point buttons. Color combinations (“color mix”) The color generators can output the result of combining two colors, which are color 1 and color 2.
Page 89: Copy And Swap
Copy and Swap You can 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-1 to M/E-3, and PGM/PST banks •...

Page 95: Digital Multi Effects (Dme)
Digital Multi Effects (DME) 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. DME is the general name for all of these effects. You can use up to eight channels as dedicated DME channels. Each channel can be used on its own or in combination with other channels, which allows you to create advanced effects with more complexity.
Page 96: Three-Dimensional Transformations
– “Setting the AUX bus output and reentry input” (see Chapter 16 (Volume • On the MVE-9000, the method of combiner channel selection is different from that on the BKDS-9470. See “Combiner Settings” in Chapter 11 (Volume 2). Three-Dimensional Transformations Transformation is the process of placing a video image in a three-dimensional DME coordinate space and subjecting it to manipulations such as movement, rotation, magnification or shrinking.
Page 97 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...

Values for x-, y- and z-axes (16:9 mode) Limits of three-dimensional parameters The following table shows the limits of three-dimensional transformation...
Page 100 Detents The system defines points called detents at regular intervals on the three- dimensional space. Pressing the [CTR] button in the device control block sets the current three-dimensional parameter values to the closest detent points. (For details, see “Three-Dimensional Transformation Operations” in Chapter 11 (Volume 2).) The following table shows the interval between successive detents for each transformation operation mode (see page 100).
Page 101: Transformation Operation Modes
Resetting of parameter values set in the source coordinate space In some transformation operation modes, if you switch to the target coordinate space after setting up a three-dimensional transformation in the source coordinate space, the setting values in the source coordinate space (three- dimensional parameter values) are converted to values in the target coordinate space (source/target conversion).
Page 102 Image movement in the target coordinate space Movement on the x-axis Movement on the y-axis Movement on the z-axis Rotation Rotates the image on the x-axis, y-axis, or z-axis. The type of rotation differs depending on whether you are manipulating the image in the source coordinate space or the target coordinate space.

Page 150: Regions And Registers
Regions and Registers 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.
Page 151: Registers
Reference region When multiple regions are selected, only one region appears in the displays for menu and numeric keypad operations. This is called the “reference region.” The reference region is determined according to the following precedence. M/E1 >M/E2 >M/E3 >P/P >User1 > User2 > User3 >User4 >User5 >User6 >User7 >User8 >DME ch1>DME ch2 >DME ch3 >DME ch4 >DME ch5 >DME ch6 >DME ch7 >DME ch8 >Device1 >Device2 >Device3 >Device4 >Device5 >Device6 >Device7 >Device8 >Device9...
Page 152 200 range, select two consecutive channels for the regions, as for example [DME1] and [DME2]. Similarly, for registers in the 300 range, select three consecutive registers. Work register This is a temporary register used when editing keyframes. When you recall an effect, it is read from the effect register into the work register, and when you save, the contents of the work register are written to the effect register.
Page 153: 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 154: Saving And Recalling Effects
Saving and Recalling Effects To create a new effect, first recall an empty register, then create the keyframes one at a time in this register. To run an effect, it is also necessary to set the time and the path. To edit an existing effect, recall the register holding the effect, then make the changes.
Page 155 You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes. Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 156). Modify: Modify a keyframe.
Page 156: Time Settings
Difference in the effect of a paste operation Variable duration mode: The copied keyframe is inserted at the specified position. Constant duration mode: The copied keyframe is written over the specified position. Transition mode You can use an effect created with keyframes as a DME wipe pattern on the switcher.
Page 157 The effect duration may also be changed by inserting or deleting keyframes. Changes in the effect duration caused by inserting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, inserting a keyframe increases the effect duration by the duration of the inserted keyframe. •...
Page 158 Changes in the effect duration caused by deleting a keyframe • When the effect is stopped on a keyframe, a delete operation deletes the keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe. • When the effect is stopped between two keyframes, a delete operation deletes the preceding keyframe, and reduces the effect duration by the duration of the deleted keyframe.
Page 159: Paths
Delay setting You can set the delay from the time of executing an operation to run the effect, and the effect actually starting (that is, the delay until the first keyframe). You can make this setting in the keyframe control block. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Note that changing the delay does not alter the duration of the effect.

Page 167: Snapshots
Snapshots 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, the Flexi Pad control block in each of the M/E-1 to M/E-3 and PGM/PST banks, and the Snapshot menu.
Page 168: 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 169 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 “Setup Relating to Switcher Processor” in Chapter 16 (Volume 2). Clip event: Recall a frame memory clip immediately after the snapshot is recalled.
Page 170 Bus override If you recall a snapshot while holding down an A or B bus button, the selection of the signal on the A or B bus does not change when the snapshot is recalled. This function is called “bus override.” This function is effective when cross-point hold is off, and you want to temporarily maintain the cross-point setting.
Page 171: Utility
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. The functions you can assign include menu shortcuts, enabling/disabling functions (recalling utility commands), and recalling (shotbox registers or macro registers).
Page 172: Shotbox
Shotbox The term “shotbox” refers to a function whereby for each specified region any snapshot or keyframe effect can be recalled simultaneously. The simultaneous recall setting data such as region names, snapshot numbers and keyframe effect numbers are stored in “registers.” There are 99 registers for each control panel.
Page 173: Setup
Setup Overview of 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.
