Features 
 
The MVS-6520/6530/3000A/3000 system Multi Format
 
Switcher boasts extensible high performance and
 
multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal
 
features of these systems. 
 
 
System configuration flexibility 
 
Multiformat support 
Supports both HDTV and SDTV signal formats. 
The format selection can be switched by a simple control
 
panel operation. 
 
Extensible system configuration 
The MVS-6520/6530/3000A supports 2-channel DME
 
function with an optional MKS-6570 DME board. In
 
addition, you can connect an MVE-8000A or MVE-9000
 
extensible DME processor for a maximum of six channels
 
of DME functionality. 
The MVS-3000 can be connected to an MVE-8000A or
 
MVE-9000 for a maximum of four channels of DME
 
functionality. 
 
Powerful external device interfaces 
By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a
 
large system can be built. It is also possible to operate other
 
equipment, including VTRs and disk recorders, from a
 
DCU or switcher via a 9-pin serial port. 
Comprehensive video manipulation 
 
M/E banks 
Each   M/E   (mix/effects)   bank   and   PGM/PST   (program/ 
 
   
preset) bank   is  equipped   with   four   keyers,   and   each   keyer 
 
    is 
capable  not  only  of  chroma  keying,  but  also  independent 
 
   key 
transitions separate from the background transitions. 
Also, the MVS-6530 supports eight keyers in the PGM/
 
PST rows. 
 
Powerful frame memory functions 
The frame memory can hold approximately 1000 frames in
 
an HD system (approximately 2000 frames in 720P/59.94
 
format), approximately 5000 frames in an SD system in
 
480i/59.94 format, or approximately 4000 frames in 576i/
 
50 format, and allows eight frames to be recalled
 
simultaneously. 
 
Seamless DME operation with the switcher
 
The MVS-6520/6530/3000A supports a wide range of
 
DME functions using the MKS-6570, including DME 
wipes and processed key functions as part of the standard
 
switcher functions. 
 
Multi viewer function 
Equipped with two-system multi viewer function, as
 
standard, for displaying a window split into four, ten, or
 
sixteen subwindows. 
 
 
Designed for use in a live broadcasting 
environment 
 
Powerful tally system 
The complete system, including the routing switcher,
 
provides an all-inclusive tally system. The system can be
 
adapted to different applications and settings using
 
multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording
 
tallies. 
 
Format converter board mounting support 
An optional MKS-6550 format converter can be installed
 
in the switcher to provide up-conversion, down-
 
conversion, and cross-conversion functions when
 
importing/exporting signals. 
8-
input/0-output or 4-input/2-output groupings are
 
supported. 
 
Large-capacity data storage 
The control panel is equipped with a flash memory drive
 
(called “local disk”) as standard for storing parameter data,
 
switcher frame memory static images and other material.
 
USB-compatible storage devices (called “removable
 
disks”) can also be connected to the control panel for
 
storing data. 
High-performance user interface 
•
 
The menu panel provides a large color LCD panel, with
 
rapid touch-panel menu selection. 
You can also operate the menus via a DVI-connected
 
monitor (or touch panel) and mouse. 
•
 
The cross-point control block uses an organic EL display
 
with high visibility for the source name display. 
•
 
The buttons in the Multifunction Flexi Pad (hereinafter
 
called “Flexi Pad”) and ICP-6520/6530 transition
 
control blocks use color backlit 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. 
 
Rearrangeable M/E rows 
On the ICP-6520/6530, the M/E rows can be rearranged
 
depending on the control panel buttons. 
This allows a flexible layout appropriate to the system
 
operation. 
 
Backup power supply 
Equipped with two backup power supplies, as standard.
 
This alleviates the risk of power supply problems for
 
improved reliability during live operations.
