Define the types of the connected devices on the control
 
panel. 
 
i
 
MVS (multi format video switcher) connector
 
(RJ-45 compliant) 
Connect to an ICP-series control panel. Connect to an
 
Ethernet switch
1) 
if connecting a DCU, MVE-8000A/9000
 
multi format DME processor, and other devices. 
 
j
 
UTIL (SW) (utility (SW)) connector (RJ-45
 
compliant) 
Intended for future expansion. 
 
k
 
REF INPUT (reference video input) 
connectors
 
(BNC-type) 
If you wish to synchronize this unit to an external reference
 
signal, input the reference signal. For an HDTV system,
 
input an HD tri-level sync signal, black burst signal, or
 
analog sync signal. For an SDTV system, input a black
 
burst signal or analog sync signal. 
The two connectors have a loop-through configuration.
 
Signal input to one connector can be output from the other
 
connector. If you will not be using the loop-through
 
output, be sure to terminate the unused connector with the
 
supplied 75 ohm terminator. 
 
l
 
TALLY/GPI IN (tally/ general purpose interface
 
input) 1 to 18 and TALLY/GPI OUT (tally/ general
 
purpose interface output) 1 to 48 connectors (D-sub
 
25-pin) 
Output tally data created with the control panel of the MVS
 
system (open collector). These connectors can also be used
 
as GPI output ports. 
You can also input trigger signals as GPI inputs. 
Input and output settings are made on the control panel of
 
the MVS system. 
 
m
 
SERIAL TALLY connector 
(D-sub 9-pin,
 
RS-422A) 
Output tally data created with the control panel of the MVS
 
system. 
 
n
 
OUTPUTS 
1 to 16 connectors (BNC-type): MVS-6520/ 
MVS-3000A/
 
MVS-3000 
1 to 32 connectors (BNC-type): MVS-6530
 
These connectors output serial digital signals. You can
 
assign them as program output, preview output, AUX
 
output, and so on. 
Make output assignments on the MVS system control
 
panel.

PRIMARY INPUTS
 
1 to 32 connectors (BNC-type): MVS-6520/ 
MVS-3000A/
 
MVS-3000 
1 to 48 connectors (BNC-type): MVS-6530 
These connectors allow you to input up to 32 or up to 48
 
serial digital video signals to the MVS-6520/MVS-3000A/
 
MVS-3000 or MVS-6530, respectively.
