Downstream key control using GPI signals

Preparations

You can use signals from the GPI output connector on the BVE-900/910/
2000 to turn the DFS-700/700P downstream key function on and off. Input
the GPI signals to the T2 connector on the rear panel of the DFS-700/
700P. (The BVE-2000 can also use 9-pin serial control signals to turn the
downstream key on and off and to set the transition duration.)
Make the following preparations to control the DFS-700/700P from the
BVE-900/2000-series editor.
For details about operation, refer to the Operating Instructions or User's Guide
supplied with the editor.
On the DFS-700/700P
• In page 1 of the setup menu, set F3(PORTS) to "PVE-500".
• To accept 9-pin serial control signals, press the EDITOR button on the
control panel, turning it on. To accept GPI signals, press the GPI button,
turning it on.
(When the DFS-700/700P is powered on, it accepts either 9-pin serial
control signals or GPI signals.)
• To improve editing accuracy, supply a reference sync signal to the VCRs
and editing control unit from the BLACK BURST OUT connectors on
the DFS-700/700P.
