Features of the DVS-9000 Production Switcher System

The DVS-9000 Production Switcher system boasts extensible high 
performance and multifunctionality. The following are some of the principal 
features of this system.

This system supports the SDTV signal formats 480i/59.94 and 576i/50. The 
format selection can be switched by a simple control panel operation.

By suitable combination of options, the switcher can be configured with 
various inputs and outputs, and different numbers of M/E banks. The system 
offers the flexibility to change and expand as required.
When the optional DME board set is installed, the system allows you to use up 
to four DME channels.

By connecting to a Sony routing switcher or similar, a large system can be 
built. From the control panel, it is also possible to operate other equipment, 
including VTRs and disk recorders.

The complete system including routing switcher provides an all-inclusive tally 
system. The system can be adapted to different applications and settings, using 
multiple tally outputs, including both on-air and recording tallies.

Each mix/effects bank (M/E bank) is equipped with four keyers, and each 
keyer is capable not only of chroma keying, but also independent key 
transitions separate from the background transitions. The four keys can be 
freely combined, to carry out four different program outputs.
