Section 2: Engineering Quick Start (Hardware)
This section covers the physical installation of your new switcher. Many items will be covered including
unpacking the boxes, identification of parts, wiring and basic setup.
Where to turn for help
Unpacking an installing a production switcher can be a daunting task, at best. While the installation
manuals for each component, and also this document, will provide you with all the information you will
need, sometimes a little extra help would be nice. Please contact your Sony Account Manager for
assistance. Your Sony Account Manager can assist you on missing items, if any, and has the ability to
bring in other resources, like Sales Support Engineers or Service Engineers, to make your installation go
as smoothly as possible.
What are all these boxes?
As described above, an MVS system consists of several, individual, components. Many of these will be
shipped separately. Different items come from different warehouses, so all your ordered items may not
arrive on the same day. For instance, most of the switcher components are shipped directly from the
factory in Japan, where other items like Ethernet switches, the menu arm and rack rails are shipped
from our domestic warehouses. Also, any items purchased as B-Stock (refurbished) will not be included
in configured product. For example, if your switcher is supposed to have the Frame Memory option, but
you had the opportunity to purchase that option as B-Stock, it will come packaged separately and will
not be installed in your switcher frame when it arrives.
It is important to note that this guide is not a replacement for the individual installation and operation
manuals that come with each component. Installation guidelines and procedures, as well as
specifications, can change without notice. Only the individual installation guides that are shipped with
your products are guaranteed to have the latest and most accurate information. This guide also does
not cover installing option boards or power supplies, including which slot they must be installed in.
Please refer to the individual installation guides that come with the product for detailed component
installation instructions.
Below describes the typical boxes you will receive, depending on which model switcher you purchased.
1. Switcher Chassis (10RU for 8000X, 8RU for 7000X)
2. MVE Digital Effects Chassis (2RU or 4RU, depending on model and number of channels)
• MVS-7000X has built-in DMEs that do not require their own chassis. If you have more
than 4 channels you will have an external MVE Chassis.
• MVS-8000X: If you have more than 4 channels you will receive two MVE chassis boxes
3. Device Control Unit Chassis (1 or 3RU, depending on model)
4. System Control Unit Chassis (1RU)
5. Control Panel (varies in size)
• CCP-8000A Series modular panels are pre-assembled and configured-to-order at the
factory. In the box you will find the main panel and the separate aux panel (if so
configured)
• CCP-6000 Series panels are pre-assembled at the factory but are not configured-to-
order as the CCP-8000A series panels are. If you ordered additional modules, such as a
