to mix or swap audio channels.
• Ability to insert video with voice over editing.
• Ability to make cuts using only the RP port.
• Addition of a function that backs up files being edited if
the power to the MAV-555SS is accidentally cut.

GPI to an external device.
1-4 Optional Accessories
The following optional accessories are available for the MAV-555SS.
Common to SS and SD modes
Control Panel BKMA-505
This is a dedicated control panel, which can be installed in
the front blank panel of the MAV-555SS (interface cables
are supplied). It controls recording, playback, and editing
operations on this unit.
Control Panel Case Kit BKMA-506
This kit consists of a special case for the BKMA-505
control panel and a 10-m extension cable as a set. This kit
makes it possible to use the MAV-555SS at a distance of
up to 10m from the control panel.
AD/DA Converter Board BKMA-513
When this board is installed in the MAV-555SS, the input
and output of analog composite video signals and analog
audio signals becomes possible with the MAV-555SS.
• To be able to use analog audio, the BKMA-570 analog
audio expansion unit is also necessary.
• The R3 port does not support analog input when the
configuration is 3 input/1 output. Even if the BKMA-
513 is installed, the analog inputs and outputs are
2 input/1 output.
• Cannot input analog SS signals in SS mode.
Analog Audio Expansion Unit BKMA-570
This expansion unit connects to the AUDIO I/O ports of
the MAV-555SS with the supplied interface cable, and
allows the MAV-555SS to use analog audio inputs and
outputs.
• The BKMA-513 AD/DA Converter Board is required
for analog audio input.
Rack Mount Kit RMM-555
When attached, the MAV-555SS can be fitted into an EIA
standard 19-inch rack.
SD mode only
Video Effect Board BKMA-560/
Effect Expansion Board BKMA-561
When these boards are installed in the MAV-555SS, it
allows you to edit materials that employ effect transitions.
For more details about materials that employ effect transitions, see
the BKMA-505 Control Panel Operation Manual.
For information about the patterns that can be used and other
details, refer to the Video Effect Board BKMA-560 Operation
Manual or Video Effect Board BKMA-561 Operation Manual.
Editing Panel MAVE-F555
When using the BVE editor, this editing panel can be used
to perform file assignment operations, nonlinear editing
operations, and operations through free ports that are not
being used for editing.
Dial Panel MAVE-D555
When the MAVE-F555 is connected to the MAV-555SS, it
can be used in conjunction with the MAVE-D555 and
BKNE-1011 to perform BVE editing operations, such as
JOG dial operations, [PLAY], [SHTL], [REW], and [FF]
operations, with all the ease of conventional BVE editing.
Furthermore, nonlinear editing operations that were not
possible with BVE editing can also be performed.
