Be sure to carry out this operation after reconfiguring the system, or after a software upgrade.
Single Proc mode: The control panel controls a single switcher.
Single Proc: The panel controls one switcher and up to two DMEs connected to the switcher.
Single Simul: The panel controls one switcher and a DME connected to the switcher. The operating bank and DME are interlocked.
Single Simul mode is disabled for a DVS-9000 system.
Special system setting (Single Processor Simul mode)
When using a combination of a 4M/E switcher processor and a 4-channel DME processor in an HD system, the Single Processor Simul mode is available. In this mode, M/E-1 on the switcher processor is linked to M/E-3, and M/E-2 is linked to P/P. As a result, the M/E-1 and M/E-2 panel buttons go off, and cannot be operated. In this mode, the screen aspect ratio is fixed, as follows.
Processor | Bank or channel | Screen aspect ratio |
Switcher processor | M/E-3 and P/P | 16:9 |
M/E-1 and M/E-2 | 4:3 | |
DME processor | Channels 1 and 2 | 16:9 |
Channels 3 and 4 |
4:3 |
Dual Simul mode: The
control panel controls two switchers simultaneously.
Dual Simul: The panel controls two switchers and the DME connected to each switcher simultaneously.
After changing any of the settings, be sure to press [Execute] to save the new values.
If you want to cancel the setting changes without saving them press [Clear].
When the system operation mode is set to "Dual Simul," the following setting is required for setup of the two switchers and connected DME units.
In the <Setup Target> group, set the [System 1] or [System 2] button to On, then carry out the setup. You can also set both to On, and make the settings simultaneously on the two systems.
If there is only one switcher on the network, in the <1st Switcher> group, set [SWR1] to On, and in the <2nd Switcher> group, set [SWR2] to Off.
If there are two switchers on the same network, in the <1st Switcher> group, select the switcher to be operated.
When the system operation mode is
set to [Dual Simul], the switcher status set
in <1st Switcher> appears on the control panel.
To set the selected control panel as tally control master panel, press [Tally Master], turning it on.
If there are multiple panels and
processors, the control panel for which [Tally
Master] is set to On carries out tally control for the whole system. Only on
that panel Serial Tally is available on SCU Editor Panel Port. If more than one
Tally Master is used for serial tally output from SCU editor port, disable S-Bus
Tally to prevent conflicts.
When there are multiple control panels, make sure that one of them has [Tally
Master] set to On. When you change the master panel, be sure to copy
and save the setup tally (TLY) and router (RTR) data in the File menu,
and make the same settings for the other panels.
• When making DME settings for SWR1 (the first switcher), for the first DME, select [DME1] in the <1st DME> group.
For the second DME, select [DME2] in the <2nd DME> group. When a second DME is not connected, turn all buttons in the <2nd DME> group off.
• When making DME settings for SWR2 (the second switcher), for the first DME, select [DME3] in the <1st DME> group.
For the second DME, select [DME4] in the <2nd DME> group. When a second DME is not connected, turn all buttons in the <2nd DME> group off.
In the <Frame/Field Rate> group select the system operating frequency.

• BB (Black Burst): black burst or sync for a SD system
After changing any of the settings under the System>Format menu be sure to press [Execute] to save the new values.
Note that since the [Execute] button is in the System>Format menu, when you make settings in a submenu, it is essential to remember to return to the System>Format menu and press the [Execute] button to save.
If you want to cancel the setting changes without saving them, press [Clear].
The status area shows the number of active scan lines and screen aspect ratio for the switcher and connected DME(s).
In the <Active Line> group, select the number of active scan lines for the whole system.

Independ: Set the screen aspect ratio separately for M/E, P/P and USER on the switcher, and for each channel independently on the DME.
If you selected [Independ] select from the following.
Switcher Aspect: Make the setting for the switcher.
DME Aspect: Make the setting for the DME.
[Switcher Aspect]: In each of the <M/E-1>, <M/E-2>, <M/E-3>, <P/P> and <USER> groups select either [16:9] or [4:3].
[DME Aspect]: For each of the channels <CH1> to <CH4> select either [16:9] or [4:3].
