Making Complex Tasks Simple If an editing system is considered the brain of a post-production system, then the switcher is the heart. All signals flow through it. It needs to be compact yet powerful. And if creativity is a factor, what better place to reside than at the heart of a system an entire video system. Sony s DVS-2000C Digital Video Switcher is just such a device, and many factors account for its power. Above all, it s the switcher s ability to make complex tasks simple. Here are just a few examples: DME-LINK the ability to run the DME-3000 or DME-7000 effects timeline from the switcher s control panel. This function simplifies complex triggering with a simple push of the fader or the triggering of an E-file. Processed Key the ability to compose a key within the DVS-2000C, route it to an external device (such as the DME) for processing, and reenter it in the same DVS-2000C keyer. This feature reduces complex patching to a simple button press. System Integration provides a powerful production and postproduction toolbox in conjunction with the BVE-9100, BVE-2000, and DME-series effects devices. Through status reporting and the editing system s ability to learn switcher functions, this high level system function simplifies and enhances the editor s day-to-day job requirements. Familiarity the DVS-2000C s operating style simplifies the learning curve and enhances creativity at every turn. Throughout this guide, the DVS-2000C s benchmark principle rings true making complex tasks simple. Basic Tools This section describes basic DVS-2000C features used in day-to-day production and post-production. Control Panel, Screen, and FlexiPad The DVS-2000C s dedicated control panel is engineered for simplicity and clarity of operations. The architecture is the familiar single-m/e style that s been a fundamental part of edit suites, remote vans, and production studios for over a decade. The panel includes a bright LCD screen that offers easy access to operational parameters, adjustments, and setup functions. The control panel also includes the DVS-2000C s unique FlexiPad. From one centralized location the user can enter wipe patterns, store and recall complete panel snapshots, and enter transition rates. The benefit is as clear as the design operational comfort. 4 Features and Benefits DVS-2000C Product Guide

Primary Inputs and V-Proc The DVS-2000C provides four standard serial digital inputs, with expansion capability up to sixteen inputs. Both serial digital (SDI) and component analog inputs can be added. Video and Key sources are assigned to the bus-rows through the switcher control panel s convenient and clear LCD screen. When optional analog input boards are installed, the DVS-2000C allows mixed operation of serial digital and analog component video (and monochrome key) signals simultaneously. Because input configurations change from day-to-day with a compact switcher, all inputs have an auto-timing window with an adjustment range of +/-.4H. For simplicity and convenience, the V-Proc (Video Processing) feature allows adjustment of each input to compensate for common errors in image acquisition. With a range of +/- 200% for video, luminance, and chrominance, V-Proc actually provides a greater control range than a TBC. Additional adjustments are provided for black level and hue. The bottom line is that the DVS-2000C does not restrict you to one or two input configurations. You have the flexibility to configure the precise system to suit the customer s production and post-production requirements and expand that system when the need arises. Effect Keyers and DSK In the DVS-2000C s single-m/e architecture, two powerful effect keyers are provided as standard. An optional DSK (Down Stream Key) is also available, allowing three simultaneous layers and the ability to change priorities dynamically. A variety of creative key types can be selected, as follows: Luminance a high-gain key that derives the hole-cutting information from the full range of source luminance values. Chroma a key in which the hole-cutting information is derived from a color rather than from a video level. Linear a key that takes advantage of independent key signals provided by external devices such as character generators. Linear keys have reduced variability in the key signal s gain. Clean a key that takes advantage of shaped video provided by devices such as digital video effects. Whereas a linear key is multiplicative in its ability to cut a hole, a clean key is additive. Depth a key that utilizes the third dimension on the video screen. Refer to the Depth Key Processing section for additional details. Pattern a key that uses a wipe pattern (and all active pattern modifiers) to generate a key signal. Keyers truly make the difference in switchers. There s rarely a commercial or production today that doesn t involve multi-layering or some form of creative keying it s a requirement that can t be overlooked in switcher design. The DVS-2000C s keying and key processing capability is powerful, yet it s also simple to understand and operate. It allows you to express your creativity to make a storyboard come true without getting lost in menus and keypads. DVS-2000C Product Guide Features and Benefits 5

FineKey Processing One superb aspect of the DVS-2000C s high quality key processing is the ability to fine tune and optimize the key signal itself independent of the fill. Through the use of over-sampling, the width, softness, and key edge can be modified in sub-pixel units. Edges can be softened and smoothed to add dimension and overall realism, and adjustments can be performed independently to the top, bottom, left and right edges of the key. Furthermore, because the process follows the edge of the key itself, even irregularly shaped key signals benefit from FineKey processing. From simple mattes to complex chroma keys situations, the DVS-2000C s FineKey processing is another simple tool that yields visually powerful results. Enhanced Wipe Generator With the BKDS-2070 option, additional patterns (including matrix wipes) are added. These include Star, Heart, and the popular Diamond Dust wipe. The enhanced patterns can also be combined with the primary patterns enabling you to create new custom wipes from the DVS-2000C s creative toolbox. Assignable Outputs In addition to the three standard program outputs, the DVS-2000C offers an assignable output option that provides both serial digital and analog component outputs. Any of the Program, Program Key, Preview, Clean or Processed Key signals can be independently assigned to these outputs as required. Compared to compact switchers with fixed output configurations, the DVS-2000C can literally adapt to the production or post production situation at hand, with the ability to assign (and re-assign) outputs from the control panel itself. Snapshot and Memory Pack As the natural by-product of computer controlled switchers, the ability to store and recall control panel snapshots has become a fundamental requirement in production and post. Clients come back to change things. Producers like their keys set up just one way and always that way. And technical directors like to work with special setups even if the previous TD had a completely different setup. The DVS-2000C allows all these situations and more, with the ability to store and recall up to 99 snapshot memories, and transition between snapshots. The snapshot data, as well as setup data, can be archived on an optional Memory Pack for long term storage. For live use or post, snapshots are directly accessible through the FlexiPad for instantaneous recall and the appearance (on screen) of a switcher many times as large! 6 Features and Benefits DVS-2000C Product Guide

Superior Editor Interface The DVS-2000C communicates with editing systems from most major manufacturers via serial interface, including Sony s BVE-2000. With the Sony BVE-9100, Sony s superb status reporting feature adds many advanced operational modes: At the basic level (as with most editors), crosspoints can be assigned, patterns can be selected, transitions and durations can be controlled, and many switcher functions can be learned and stored in the editor s EDL. GPI control also provides auto-transition and memory recall functions. At the advanced operational level with the BVE-9100, virtually everything that can be controlled or adjusted in the switcher itself can be adjusted from the BKE-9402 Programmable Control Panel the editing system s versatile companion product. It s another aspect of Sony s system integration that contributes to the simplicity of working with a Sony system making complex tasks simple. Switchable System Standard The DVS-2000C provides standard and format flexibility. You can operate on either the 525 or 625 line systems, and switch between the 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio with all switching performed on the integral LCD screen. Power Tools This section outlines the features that technical directors and producers value the most on the DVS-2000C. Power tools not only simplify the user s job, but they add to that all-important category of creativity the area in which a switcher s artistic and aesthetic capability is in effect greater than the sum of its parts. Depth Key Processing The DVS-2000C s versatile and unique Depth Key option permits keys in the third dimension the Z axis or depth axis in XYZ coordinate space. The depth information can be derived from a full-screen video source, a key source, the main mask, a subsidiary mask, or by using Z-data from the DME-3000 or DME-7000. For example, when a video signal is processed by the DME and routed back to Keyer- 1, the Z-data controls the intersection between switcher layers. The function is so advanced that Z-data can be transferred to (and from) a digital component tape recorder, with retention of Z-depth parameters. In practice, you can fly an airplane around a globe or weave an object in and out of a picket fence without complex masks, timelines, and repeated priority switching. Once again, the benefits are clear what was once accomplished with undue effort, is made easy through Depth Key Processing. DVS-2000C Product Guide Features and Benefits 7

Key Modifiers In the early days of switchers the ability to add borders and shadows was quite an achievement. Today, if a keyer isn t absolutely loaded with features (far beyond borders and shadow capability), the fundamental creativity of the switcher is limited. To address this requirement, the DVS-2000C provides extensive key modifiers: Each keyer has an independent pattern generator, and a separate pattern generator for mask. Each keyer has two dual matte generators: one for border fill and one for key fill. Each matte generator in turn has its own pattern generator. With the optional Key Border Generator installed, Border, Drop Border, Soft Edge, Shadow and Drop Shadow capabilities are added to the effect keyer. The option also provides continuous color, position, width, density and softness adjustments. Powerful copy functions allow you to transfer settings between keyers and matte generators with ease. When the client says show me what you can do with this key, the technical director will never run out of creative ideas with the DVS-2000C. Advanced Chroma Keyer - FineChroma All Chroma Keyers are not created equal. It s a common belief that those built in to switchers are average in quality, and it really takes an external single-purpose box to make a chroma key shine. Not true with the DVS-2000C! Sony s new FineChroma technology, available with the optional BKDS-2031 and BKDS-2032 boards together, provides an advanced level of chroma key processing typically found in external chroma key devices only. You get full 4:4:4:4 video and key processing, auto and manual modes, color cancellation functions, spot color correction, shadow and density control, plus a dual clip and gain feature that allows two separate clips in a single picture. Although the feature list is impressive, it s the visual results that make the difference with Chroma Keys. Whether you re keying transparent glass, wispy hair, or working with an uneven background composed of varying luminance levels, the DVS-2000C s FineChroma technology handles each situation with ease delivering clear keyed edges and a remarkable degree of visual realism on screen. Dual Matte Generators with Color Mix Capability Switchers stopped being just switchers (in the precise definition of the word) many years ago. They ve evolved into a combination switching device and artist s palette, with the ability to mix sources, colors, and patterns as required to bring a storyboard or a production to life. To this creative end, the DVS-2000C provides eight (!) internal dual color matte generators for Key-1 fill, Key-1 edge, Key-2 fill, Key-2 edge, DSK fill, DSK edge, Wipe border, and Color background. Each matte generator has color mix and wash capability, its own dedicated pattern generator, and extensive pattern modifiers. Rembrandt would be jealous. 8 Features and Benefits DVS-2000C Product Guide

Frame Memories One of the features that users like best on the DVS-2000C is the Frame Memory function, available with the optional BKDS-2041 memory board. The option provides storage for two individual frames, divided as needed between video only, or video and key signals. Frame memories can be used for the following creative applications: Grabbing fields or frames. Layering. Creating custom masks. Storing matte and fill signals. Painting from a user-supplied graphics tablet. Re-positioning live or frozen images. Storing and manipulating frozen z-axis images (in conjunction with Depth Key processing). Keying and mixing between frames, filling with video from an internal auxiliary bus or matte generator, then routing the results to any desired internal or external switcher destination. In much the same way that an audio sub-mixer allows you to get creative upstream of the main mix, Frame Memories provide video sub-mix functions upstream of the buses, with the resulting capability and creativity. Auxiliary Buses Aux buses are Aux buses. You pick up a fixed set of signals off the bus rows and ship them out, right? Not so with the DVS-2000C! Four auxiliary buses are available as a single optional board, with the standard set of crosspoints available as you might expect. However, the similarities end there. Using an assignment menu, you can place the Frame Memories, Key mattes and fills, and even the Z-data for depth keys on the Aux buses. In fact (here s the kicker), every signal that enters the switcher or is internally generated can be placed on an Aux bus. The feature is simple and logical. You can sometimes predict the signals you ll need before an edit session, but once you re in it, there s a confidence in knowing that everything is accessible via the Aux buses on demand. Processed Key The DVS-2000C s Processed Key function is an effects pathway that solves the problem of routing signals to and from a DME digital effects system or color corrector, without complex patching. You can compose a key, clip and adjust it as desired, route it to an external device and re-enter it in the same DVS-2000C keyer simply by pressing the Proc Key button. Whether you re flying logos or simply re-sizing a graphic, the Processed Key approach clearly illustrates the benefits of Sony s system integration concept. Best of all, the feature works with most other major manufacturer s DVEs that are equipped with a key channel. DVS-2000C Product Guide Features and Benefits 9

DME-LINK For live field production and studio production, the DVS-2000C s DME-LINK enables specified DME-3000 and DME-7000 effects to be run by the switcher s fader just like wipes and dissolves. In post, it s easy the BVE-9100 editing system sends out RS-422 commands and the effect is initiated. But in live production, you simply don t have enough hands to trigger all the necessary devices. Sony s DME-LINK function runs the DME timeline, and the switcher s internal transition rate overrides the rate programmed locally on the DME. Over 30 basic effects are available for both single and dual-channel DME systems, and on the DME- 7000, up to 12 user-defined digital effects can be used. DME-LINK once again underscores the DVS-2000C s benchmark principle making complex tasks simple. 10 Features and Benefits DVS-2000C Product Guide

Appendix A. Feature List DVS-2000C Feature Review 4 5 6 CLEAR AUTO TRANS This Appendix provides a table of DVS-2000C features, along with brief descriptions of each. All features are cross-referenced in the index. Note that all features discussed in this section use Sony terminology. DVS-2000C Product Guide Appendix A. Feature List 35

DVS-2000C Features The following features are included with the DVS-2000C switcher. DVS-2000C Features Feature Description 4 SDI inputs The DVS-2000C has 4 standard SDI inputs (loop through). Optional input capability Twelve optional inputs can be configured as a combination of SDI and component analog. Optional input boards are required. 3 Program outputs Three identical program video outputs are provided. 2 Effects Keyers Two standard effects keyers are provided, each of which has the capability of Linear, Luminance, Clean (self-key), Pattern Key, and Priority keys. Color Adjustment LCD Screen FlexiPad Editor Interface DME Interface The V-Proc feature allows the user to adjust input video, setup, hue and saturation for all inputs. A clear, bright LCD screen provides easy access to operational parameters, adjustments, and setups. The FlexiPad allows the user to enter wipe patterns, store and recall panel snapshots, and enter transition rates from one location. The switcher communicates with the BVE-2000 and BVE-9100 editing systems via serial interface, and Sony s status reporting feature. The DME interface (DME-LINK) enables specified DME-3000 and DME-7000 effects to be run by the switcher s fader just like wipes and dissolves. You can also control the Auxiliary bus option (BKDS- 2061) from the DME. 14 Wipe/Pattern Generators Fourteen independent wipe/pattern generators are provided, for the primary mix/effects bus as well as the switcher s keyers, border generators, color background mattes, key mask and sub mask. 24 Basic Wipe Patterns A basic set of 24 wipe patterns are included. Extensive pattern modifiers are provided. 11 Enhanced Wipe Patterns An additional set of 11 patterns are included with the BKDS-2070 option (star, heart, matrix and diamond dust). Extensive pattern modifiers are provided. 8 dual color matte generators Eight independent dual color matte generators are provided for primary color backgrounds, pattern borders, key fills and key mattes, with the DSK and border generator options installed. Each includes a dedicated pattern generator for creating washes. Utility Bus Snapshot memories Over-sampling FineKey V-Proc This feature allows you to insert a separate video signal inside wipe patterns and key borders. This feature provides the ability to store and recall 30 control panel snapshots through the FlexiPad. With the BKDS-2072 option installed, the number of snapshot memories is increased to 99. This feature allows the user to fine tune and optimize the key signal itself independent of the fill signal. A video processing system that allows you to adjust each input s levels to compensate for errors in image acquisition. 36 Appendix A. Feature List DVS-2000C Product Guide
