XVS Series

Production Switcher

Technical Guide

Introduction

Sony has been manufacturing exceptional production switchers for decades. Known for their reliability, Sony

switchers have participated in some of the world’s most prestigious live broadcast events including national and

international sporting productions, state events, and music production. They are also in daily use across

a spectrum of applications from small studios and ﬂight packs to large multi-panel installations for international

sports, light entertainment and news programming.

The MVS-8000 production switcher quickly became a standard in broadcast and live event production following

its introduction in 2001. Over the following years, the MVS series expanded into a family of products oering high

quality features and sharing a very successful modular panel design from entry level to high-end models.

In 2015 Sony introduced the new XVS series

Production Switchers, speciﬁcally developed to

accommodate technological advances such as

UHD (4K) resolution and IP interfaces, whilst further

developing the proven concept of a modular control

panel, with new features and workﬂows for improved

eciency.

The XVS series now covers the full range of broadcast

requirements for both HD and UHD

live production.

The entry-level switcher is the XVS-6000, a 2M/E

conﬁguration with a host of features and operational

beneﬁts common to the XVS-series. Next up is the

3 M/E XVS-7000, followed by the powerful 5M/E

capable XVS-8000. Top of the range is the XVS-9000,

introduced in autumn 2018 to cater for the biggest UHD

productions. The whole XVS series shares the same

features of parallel HD/UHD production, built-in format

conversion, high-speed internal frame memory, ﬂexible

IP or SDI interfaces, and a versatile series of modular

control panel options.

Processor Options

Processor

The processor supports native HD operation in both 1080/50i and 50P formats. An additional software licence is

necessary to enable UHD (4K) operation on a per M/E basis. In UHD mode the XVS can operate in either 2SI or SQD

standard at 3840 x 2160/50P resolution. Each M/E processor board provides 8 full-function keyers, and can be

conﬁgured in either normal or split mode, i.e. one M/E with 8 keyers or 2 M/Es each with 4 keyers (HD only), this is

user selectable on a pgm by pgm basis. Redundant power supplies are also ﬁtted as standard.

Each processor can also be conﬁgured with the following options:

• Up to 2 (XVS-6000), 3 (XVS-7000) or 5 (XVS-8000 &

9000) M/E processor boards

• Mix & match choice of IP, SDI (3G) or SDI (12G) interfac-

ing, conﬁgurable slot by slot

• Up to 64 (XVS-6000), 112 (XVS-7000) or 160 (XVS-8000

& 9000) physical inputs, input expansion in groups of

16 (HD mode)

• Up to 24 (XVS-6000), 48 (XVS-7000 & 8000), or 80

(XVS-9000) physical outputs (HD mode)

• Two multiviewer outputs (XVS-6000, 7000 & 8000).

Four multiviewer outputs (XVS-9000) with 4, 10, 13 or 16

pane display

• Frame memory system with onboard storage of ap-

proximately 55,000 images, 20 output channels

(HD mode)

• 3D eects processor (DME) – up to 4 channels in HD (all

models). In UHD 1 channel (XVS-6000), 2 channels (XVS-

7000 & 8000) or 4 channels (XVS-9000)

• Format conversion and/or colour correction available

on designated inputs (XVS-6000, 7000 & 8000)

• Alternatively, input/output format conversion can be

achieved via an internally routable board (XVS-6000,

7000 & 8000)

• Input and Output format conversion available on all

Inputs and Outputs on XVS-9000 (SDI mode)

• Colour correction on all Aux bus outputs

• Multi-Program 2 Software option to further split each

M/E to provide dual bank operation from single M/E

(HD mode)

Format Conversion

Format Conversion Options

XVS series processors work natively in HD or UHD

formats, from 720P to 4K resolution. This internal

System Format is determined during switcher setup.

In order to activate UHD modes, a software licence

will be necessary.

Format converters are used to convert signals to/

from the internal System Format, e.g. an SD source

can be up-converted to HD, and a down-converted

output can be produced (SD is not supported as an

internal System Format). Similarly, HD signals can be

up-converted when the system is running in UHD

mode. Format conversion capabilities allow for:

•The inclusion of input sources in a format

dierent from the System Format

•The ability to produce alternate outputs

for distribution

The XVS series switchers oer two choices of

format conversion:

•Input format conversion (all models) –

Where an external source is converted to the

system format directly using the input board of

the switcher

•Assignable format convertor board (XVS-6000,

7000 & 8000 only) –

Where a signal (either an external input or a

switcher internal source) can be routed

internally to the assignable format converter

board, for use as either an internal source or an

additional output

On XVS-6000, 7000 & 8000 switchers, either or both

of the input and the assignable boards may be ﬁtted.

On the XVS-9000, input and output conversion is

possible with the relevant I/O cards

Input format Conversion

The XKS-S8111 input board provides conversion as shown below:

Example of I/P convertor card working in 1080i mode:

Format Conversion

XKS-8460 Internal assignable convertor board (XVS-6000, 7000 & 8000 only)

The XKS-8460 Internal Format Converter board provides format conversion for 16 assignable channels in 1080/50i

or 50P mode and 4 channels in UHD. It can be assigned in four groups of four signals for either Input or Output

conversion. Internally generated signals such as M/E outputs can be converted as well as primary inputs. This

board can be used with or without the input format converter boards, i.e. XKS-S8111 etc.

Note that this board cannot be ﬁtted in the XVS-9000 processor.

• Input conversion – In this mode the Format Convertor will cross convert an Input signal to the switcher operating format

• Output conversion – In this mode an internal bus signal (e.g. an M/E output) can be converted to a dierent O/P format.

These O/P signals are then presented on the dedicated FC O/P connectors

2SI and SQD Operations

The XVS-processors support UHD operation in both 2SI level-A and SQD level-A natively. Level-B formats can be

accommodated via the format converters.

We recommend operating in 2SI mode in order to fully realise the switcher’s resources.

Operating in SQD Level-A natively will result in the following operational restrictions:

• Only standard and enhanced wipe patterns available

• Only 4 screen layout available in Multi Viewer in 1080P

• No grid on output signals

• No 3D DME eects although key resizers are supported

Switcher Resources

Colour Correction

Output CCR for any AUX output is provided as a standard

feature with all XVS series processors. With the exception of

the simple input board, XKS-S8110, all input boards can also

provide CCR for inputs. Colour correction adjustments include:

Black, White, Gamma and Knee and independent Red, Green

and Blue channels on both darks and whites. The values of

input colour correction can be saved in setup ﬁles, whilst

output colour correction adjustments are saved in snapshot

ﬁles. A CCR Aux Bus Link feature provides copy and link

functions for duplicating and/or locking CCR values between

multiple AUX busses for fast setup and modiﬁcation.

To harmonise incoming signals and correct AUX outputs for on-set monitors, venue displays and other destinations, Proc

Amp, Primary and full RGB colour correction are available for both inputs and outputs on the XVS processor.

Colour correction menu control

Multi Viewer Outputs

The XVS processor provides two

channels (XVS-6000, 7000 &

8000) or four channels (XVS-

9000) of multi viewer output

available via one of the primary

output boards. Each multiviewer

can be independently conﬁgured.

Any internal or external source

can be routed to the multi viewers

which support 4, 10, 13 or 16 pane

view modes. Multiviewers are

available in HD or UHD and can

also display source names and

tally for each source.

Multi viewers in 4, 10, 13 and 16 panel display modes
