Introduction
Introduction
This manual is the User’s Guide for the DVS-9000/9000SF Production 
Switcher system supporting the SDTV signal format only. The DVS-9000 and 
DVS-9000SF have different numbers of M/E banks and input/output signals, 
but are otherwise functionally identical.
This manual refers to these generically as the “DVS-9000 system,” and 
describes principally the operation of the system using the CCP-8000 series of 
center control panels.
The User’s Guide for the DVS-9000 system comprises two volumes.
Contents of Volume 1
Overview of functions of the DVS-9000 system, and basic switcher operations 
including transitions, keys, and wipes.
Contents of Volume 2
DME effects, snapshots, keyframes, and various operations such as setup 
which affect the overall system.
Devices and system nomenclature
In this manual, when discussing the principal components of the DVS-9000 
system, in place of the formal product names, abbreviated names 
characterizing the functions and features are sometimes used. When 
distinctions between system configurations must be drawn, the terms in the 
second table on this page are used.
