Downstream key control using GPI signals

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.)

Preparations

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.

On the recorder VCR

Set the recorder VCR so that it enters PB (playback) mode when stopped. (If the VCR has a selector for PB or PB/EE, set it to PB.)

On the BVE-900/910

Set the PVW (preview) mode to EE.

•BVE-900 with no BKE-900K installed: In SYSTEM SETUP mode, set BYTE-1 of the MAIN BLOCK INTERFACE parameters to hexadecimal “01” (EE).

•BVE-910, or BVE-900 with BKE-900K installed: In SYSTEM SETUP mode, set PVW MODE under SW’ER CONFIGURATION to EE.

On the BVE-2000

•In SYSTEM SETUP mode, set PVW MODE under SW’ER CONFIGURATION to EE.

•In SYSTEM SETUP mode, set SW’ER TYPE under SW’ER CONFIGURATION to DFS.

However, for versions 2.24 and later of the BVE-2000, select DFS-700/ 700P.
