Multi-Format Video Switcher
MVS-6000 |
Overview:
The MVS-6000 is an
affordable and highly
featured vision switcher for
SD or Multi format video
switching. It can cater for
production needs starting at
15 inputs / 24 outputs 1ME
(Mix Effect Bus) up to 49
inputs / 24 outputs and
2.5ME. This is a new
addition to the family of
MVS-8000 & DVS-9000
switchers. The MVS-6000
utilizes the latest
technologies such as a newly
developed image processor,
internal digital
multi-effects (DME), clip
transition effects, Side
Flags, internal format
convertor and multi-format
operation, all packed into a
compact frame.
The MVS-6000 can also be
upgraded to multi-format
configurations by licence
key. Customers can start
with a standard-definition
(SD) configuration and, with
no change in hardware,
easily upgrade to
multi-format configurations
according to their growing
needs. The all-new CCP-6000
Series is an easy-to-use
control panel that can be
operated in combination with
a standard VGA monitor and a
mouse, which greatly expands
operational flexibility. The
CCP-6000 also includes the
newly developed
Multi-Function FlexiPad
module that further saves
space whilst completing
existing operational
requirements.

Features:
Built-in Format Converter
One of the unique and very powerful features of MVS-8000G Series and
MVS-6000 Switchers is that a format conversion capability can be
incorporated simply by adding the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board. This
option provides up-conversion and downconversion between HD (1080i and 720P)
and SD ( 480i and 576i), and cross-conversion between 1080i and 720P at both
inputs and outputs. By adding the MKS-8450G Format Converter Board, format
conversion for eight inputs and two outputs becomes available.
Customizable Control Panel
The MVS-8000G Series, MVS-6000, and DVS-9000 Series share the same control panels, which have been designed with special care and attention. A lineup of three control panels is available: the customizable CCP-8000 Series and two simple and practical control panels, the CCP-6000 Series and CCP-9000 Series.
Creative M/E Functionality
Each M/E on the MVS-6000 is equipped with four keyers*, allowing sophisticated layering from a single M/E. Separate from the main fader, each keyer has its own auto-transition controls, which allow users to insert or remove keys on an individual basis with independent wipes, DME wipes, and dissolves. For further flexibility, each keyer in every M/E also offers chroma keying and color vector keying, eliminating restrictions of selectable key types. These fully featured M/Es allow total interoperability of effects on all M/Es.
*The Simple P/P only has two keyers and does not support chroma keying.
Colour Correction Function*
Two-channel full-featured Primary and Secondary Colour Correction is optionally available for the MVS-6000.
The MVS-6000 also allows, the Colour Corrector to be applied to the video outputs of the internal M/E or P/P banks.** This ability allows studio monitors placed, for example, beside newscasters to provide true colour reproduction when included in the camera shot.
* For the MVS-6000, both an optional Frame Memory Board MKS-8442G and Colour Corrector Software BZS-6420 are required.
** This function causes 1H delay.
Resizer Function
The Resizer function in the MVS-6000, allows superb simple 2D DME effects to be supported through two out of four M/E keyers. This function can be activated for DME wipe transition, and keyframes too. A variety of effects - such as Wipe, and Defocus - can be applied to resized images. All these effects can be created without the use of an external DME, bringing great advantages for both simple operation and minimized system cost.
Enhanced Frame Memory System
The MVS-6000 provides a high-capacity "frame memory system" that enables video frames to be captured and stored as still images. The system also allows a sequence of frames to be recorded as a video clip (called a "frame memory clip"). The frame memory system for the MVS-6000 system consists of a single, optional MKS-8442G Frame Memory Board.
Programmable Macros
Having a dedicated button for each function on the MVS-6000 is handy, but this switcher takes operational convenience a step further. The MVS-6000 makes it easy to program macros. Using the multi-function FlexiPad module, users can simply record operational sequences, then store and assign them to any desired button.
Macros are extremely useful in live environments when time is critical and there is no tolerance for making operational mistakes. Not only can macros record complex panel operational sequences, but menu operation can also be recorded as a macro.
Macros can be edited either directly from the control panel or by using the touch-screen menu display. Once programmed, macros can be executed in several ways. In addition to the easy Recall/Run from the FlexiPad module macros can be triggered via the panel or on a timeline to execute automatically in a sequence.
Clip Transition effects
With simple settings the MVS-6000 provides Clip Transition effects that enable transition, together with audio, using a frame memory clip. When doing a clip transition, a computer-generated image such as a logo moves across the picture, from one side to the other, while the transition is performed behind it. This Clip Transition effect is beneficial for sports broadcasting operations at, for example, football and basketball games.
This sophisticated effect can be performed with simple settings. The user is required only to select a frame memory clip, and determine two points: the start and stop point of backgrounds to meet the clip movement.
Various types of transition such as Mix, Wipe, DME Wipe, and Preset Colour Mix can be applied in a background transition according to the motion of the clip. This transition can be operated both backwards and forwards with the fader lever. In addition, a Clip Transition can be performed with audio when using the Auto Transition button.

Benefits:
Flexibility for Today and
Tomorrow
The MVS-6000 Production Switcher provides users with a flexible solution to
select between a standard definition (SD) and multi-format configuration.
The MVS-6000 selectively supports the more commonly used signal formats as
shown below:
High definition
1080i/59.9 , 50
720P/59.9 , 50
Standard-definition
480i/59.9
576i/50
Scalable Configurations
The processor of the
MVS-6000 can be configured
to suit the exact needs of
each particular user in
terms of operation,
resolution, frame rate,
number of I/Os, number of
M/E banks, and more. The
MVS-6000 can also be
upgraded as user needs grow,
simply by installing the
appropriate option board.
Sophisticated Digital
Multi-Effects
The MVS-6000 Switcher
Processor offers two
channels capable of internal
Digital Multi-Effects (DME)
with the installation of the
MKS-6470 DME Board Set. The
MVS-6000 supports frequently
used DME patterns such as 3D
Linear Transformation, Video
Modify, Freeze, Light/Trail,
Input/Output effect, Digital
SKETCH, Metal, and Glow. Due
to these features, the
MVS-6000 is extremely user
friendly as well as being an
affordable system.
Easy and Efficient Operation
The MVS-6000 Switcher has a
large colour touch-screen
menu for efficient and
intuitive system control.
Button indications have also
been greatly enhanced over
previous generation
switchers. Crosspoint
source-name displays,
FlexiPad, and Shot Box™
buttons all incorporate a
backlit three-colour LCD
indicator to which preset
pattern icons or text can be
imported and displayed.
These indicators help to
keep the operator informed
at all times of crosspoint
and button assignments.
Optional remote-control
panels, such as AUX Bus
Remote, Keyer Remote
(Universal Control Panel),
and M/E Remote panels, allow
convenient operating
environments for live use.
