The MKS-8010B is a 1RU System Control Unit (SCU) for both the CCP-8000A and CCP-6000 control
panels. The SCU can be a maximum of 10 meters away from the control panel surface. The SCU is
connected to the control surface with either SWC-5005 cables (5m) or SWC-5010 (10m) 50-pin D-Sub
cables for power and data. These cable length choices were made at the time of ordering. Typically, the
SCU is mounted in the monitor wall or under the tabletop of the switcher control panel.. The power
buttons are recessed to prevent accidental operation by knees or feet when mounted under the
console.
Depending on the model of switcher, the DME (Digital Effects) system may be either internal option
boards or a separate chassis frame. With the 8000X system, DMEs are always in a separate frame. The
MVE-8000A is a 2RU frame that houses up to 4 channels of effects. The MVE-9000 is a 4RU frame that
also houses up to 4 channels. A total of 8 channels of DME can be installed in a single switcher system.
If more than 4 channels are purchased, an additional DME frame is required.
The MVS-7000X has two internal slots for plug-in DME boards. Each board has 2-channel capability. If
more than 4 channels of DME are required for a MVS-7000X system, then one external DME frame
(either MVE-8000A or MVE-9000) can also be installed.
The DME channels described here are in addition to the 2.5D Resizers that are standard on every keyer
on the 8000X and 7000X.
In keeping with the modular design of the MVS series, the Tally and Device Control Unit (DCU) is also a
separate frame from the switcher. There are two different models of DCU. The 3RU MKS-8700, which
allows for 5 option boards, provides the ultimate in flexibility for RS-422 ports and GPI/GPO and Parallel
Tally. The 1RU MKS-2700 has a fixed configuration of 6 RS-422 ports and 32 GPI/GPO/Parallel Tally. The
MKS-8700 has two serial tally ports whereas the MKS-2700 has none. If you require serial tally when
using a MKS-2700 please use the port marked EDITOR on the MKS-8010B System Control Unit (15-pin to
9-pin adapter is required).
Because the MVS system is so configurable, the descriptions above are not exhaustive. If you have any
questions regarding your unique system configuration, please contact your Sony Account Manager or
Sales Support Engineer.
