Superior Editor Interface
The DVS-7200 communicates with editing systems from most major manufacturers
via serial interface, including Sony's BVE-2000 and BVE-9100. With most editors,
a variety of basic editor-switcher control modes are available, including:
•
Crosspoint assignment.
•
Pattern selection.
•
Transition and duration control.
•
Basic switcher "learn" capability, with storage in the editor's EDL.
•
GPI control for auto-transition and memory recall functions.
With the BVE-9100 specifically, Sony's superb status reporting adds many
advanced modes:
•
Precise Jog/Shuttle positioning of the switcher timeline.
•
Advanced switcher timeline learn functions, with switcher status and
transition data stored in the editor's EDL.
•
Control of both switcher and DME keyframe data.
•
Using the BKE-9402 Programmable Control Panel, virtually
everything that can be controlled or adjusted in the switcher can be
adjusted from the editor.
It's another aspect of Sony's system integration that contributes to the simplicity of
working with a Sony system — making complex tasks simple.
Router Interface
Switchers like the DVS-7200 typically have a limited group of inputs available on
the panel — facilities, however, typically have a very large pool of input sources
controlled by a routing switcher. Depending on the daily requirements of a
production, the TD is constantly called upon to change the array of switcher inputs.
In the past, this function was performed by manually operating external control
panels. Now, with the DVS-7200, you can control a Sony DVS-B Series routing
switcher directly from the DVS-7200's display — allowing complete flexibility with
crosspoints, input assignments, and the switcher's 14 auxiliary buses.
Depending on routing switcher's configuration, up to 128 sources can be assigned
to the switcher's 36 primary inputs and four analog component inputs. Router
information is also stored with switcher setups and snapshots — which in turn
provides operator convenience, efficiency, and highly precise effect recall functions.
And when the DVS-B Series router and DVS-7200 switcher are married to the
BVE-9100 (with its ability to store switcher setups in the EDL), effect recall
achieves yet another level of convenience and precision.
In the time it used to take to manually re-patch a switcher's input configuration, on
the DVS-7200 you can recall a snapshot that re-maps crosspoints, sets up the M/Es
and initiates a transition — all with one button — making complex tasks simple.
