FEATURES:

Flexible system size

DVS-9000 systems are available with 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 3.5 or 4 M/E’s in two processor frame sizes. The smaller DVS-9000SF (4U) frame can cope with up to 2.5 M/E’s, 34 I/P’s and 24 O/P’s and the larger DVS-9000 (8U) frame will cope with up to 4 M/E’s, 80 I/P’s and 56 O/P’s. A system can therefore be purchased with minimal components today and expanded as needs arise.

4 Keyers per M/E

Each M/E comes, as standard with 4 full function keyers each with it’s own auto-transition capability. Luminance, Linear, Clean, Pattern, Chroma and Colour Vector keying modes are supported as standard by each keyer. Drop shadows, borders and fine-key re-sizing functions are also provided as standard.

Half M/E option

One option (BZS-9250) for the DVS-9000 adds on a simple ½ M/E bank. This is available to increase any systems processing power by adding the facility of a simple Program/Preset (PP) bank. This M/E bank includes a full functioned background transition and the ability to insert two additional keyers.

4 Channel Internal DME

Both the DVS-9000 and DVS-9000SF processors are capable of being fitted with the BKDS-9470 DME unit. Each channel of this 4 channel unit is a full function DME including 2D linear and 3D non-linear effects with a key channel, lighting, and an external background I/P. Using the built in effects of this unit and thanks to it’s highest quality picture processing algorithms, you will never need to rely on an external DME unit again.

Frame Memory

The DVS-9000 system comes as standard with a 444 frame capacity 8 O/P still store. Stills can be grabbed from any primary source or imported from the LAN or memory module. Controlling the memories from a switcher timeline will allow for short animation sequences to be replayed i.e. having two channels (video and key) rolling at any time allows video and key wipe effects to be instantly replay-able from the control panel. A thumbnail preview of each frame memory is also displayed on the touchscreen menu helping the operator select the correct still for on-air use.

Colour Correction

The DVS-9000 also incorporates an optional two channel colour corrector (BZS-9420). This option allows for both primary RGB and secondary YUV colour correction to be added to any switcher bus.

Macro’s

To further aide an operator the control panel allows complex key sequences to be stored, subsequently edited and then recalled from any button. Simple (or complex) key sequences can now be programmed to happen upon any button push (for example switching key and background at the same time, automatically flying in a replay on selecting the source button…) the possibilities are only limited by the operators’ creativeness.

Machine Interface

Up to twelve VTR or DDR’s can be controlled by a single control panel. These can be integrated onto a switcher timeline and multiple cue up points can be set.

Networkability

The control panels and switcher processors are connected via two independent ethernet networks. These together with the additional system manager application allow the switcher to expand onto an external LAN. This can be used for remote set-up and monitoring, facility management and import/export to the internal stills store.
