Section 1: Overview
Welcome to Sony’s MVS line of television production switchers. The MVS Series represents more than
ten years of evolutionary growth of an amazing production switcher platform.
The original MVS-8000 switcher was brought to market in 2001. The MVS series is unique in that
instead of creating a switcher system with a finite market life, the MVS series was designed as an
evolutionary and modular product line – one designed to change and adapt over time. This approach
allows Sony to replace individual components in the MVS system when technology changes. The
advantage is the system software and overall operation of the MVS switcher
does not change.
This
allows an operator to seamlessly transition from, say, an original MVS-8000, manufactured in 2001, to a
current state of the art MVS-8000X or MVS-7000X.
This Quick Setup Guide is primarily for engineers responsible for the planning and installation of a new
MVS X-Series production switcher. This document will help you to understand what will be arriving in
boxes, and when. It will also give you a general understanding of what goes where and how to connect
everything together. The end goal, after completing this document, is to successfully have everything
powered-up, communicating and have at least one input video source and one output monitor for
Program. This document does not cover more advanced items like setting up and programming tallies,
multiple control panels, etc. Each item mentioned comes with its own detailed installation manual
which will likely answer all your questions not covered in this document.
What is the MVS System?
A typical MVS switcher system consists of the following major items:
1. MVS switcher frame
2. Control Panel
3. DME Frame
4. Device Control Unit
The MVS switcher frame, or Switcher, is the main processing unit where all your inputs and outputs will
be connected. The Mix/Effects circuitry is also in this unit. This chassis is typically mounted in the
Engineering/Terminal Gear area.
The Control Panel is where all user interaction with the switcher takes place. The control panel really
isn’t a single item. The main surface is made up of individual modules, each with a specific task. The
advantage to a modular control surface is that changes can be made, by the end user, at any time.
Depending on the model of control panel, there may be several parts. For instance, the CCP-8000A
series panel has a main section, a menu display, a System Control Unit (the CPU and Power Supplies for
the panel), and maybe an external Aux row or even external modules. As the panel is completely
customizable at order time, it is important to consult with your Sony account manager and Sales
Support Engineer as to the exact panel assembly you purchased
before
cutting console openings. They
can tell you the “assembly number” of your unique panel. That assembly number can be matched to a
dimension grid in the control panel installation guide.
