M/E Configuration Switching (M/E Split) An XKS-8210 (for XVS-9000/8000) or XKS-7210 (for XVS-7000/6000) Mix Effect Board can be subdivided into two M/Es for use (M/E split). You can select either 1M/E mode (not split) or 2M/E mode (split in two) for each board. Notes • M/E configurations up to 6M/Es (XVS-9000/8000/ 7000) or 4M/Es (XVS-6000) are supported. • In 4K format, the M/E split function cannot be used. • In 2M/E mode, only key 1 to key 4 can be used on each M/E. • On the XVS-9000, switcher banks set to 2M/E mode have the following restrictions. - Out5 and Out6 outputs cannot be used - PROC V and PROC K signals cannot be used M/E Split Mode Settings 1 In the Engineering Setup >System >Install/Unit Config >Unit Config menu (7316.8), press [M/E Split]. The M/E Split menu (7316.11) appears. 2 Select 1M/E mode or 2M/E mode on each board. In the to groups (XVS-9000/8000), to groups (XVS-7000), or to groups (XVS-6000), select [1ME] or [2ME]. Note On the XVS-9000/8000, if [2ME] is selected on the selected board, exceeding the 6M/E configuration limit, the setting of the board with the lowest board number that is already set to [2ME] will change to [1ME]. 3 Press [Execute]. 4 Check the message, then press [Yes]. Resource Sharing Overview Resource sharing is a function that subdivides a physical switcher into two logical switchers where the switcher resources, such as the switcher banks and input/outputs, are assigned to each logical switcher. Note Resource sharing can be enabled when only one physical switcher is present on the same network. Configuring Resource Sharing The resource sharing system structure is configured using a computer connected to the same network as the switcher control station. For details about the method of operation, see "Resource Sharing Configuration Operations" (page 526). Enabling/disabling resource sharing When resource sharing is enabled, the physical switcher is subdivided into logical switcher 1 and logical switcher 2. Signal format settings The combinations of signal formats that can be set on each logical switcher are as follows. Logical switcher 1 • 3840×2160P 2SI • 3840×2160P SQD • 1080P • 3840×2160PsF SQD • 1080PsF • 1080i • 720P Logical switcher 2 • 3840×2160P 2SI • 3840×2160P SQD • 1080P • 3840×2160PsF SQD • 1080PsF • 1080i • 720P The frame frequency/field frequency and input reference signal (Tri Sync or BB) settings are common to logical switchers 1 and 2. Frame memory folder mode Frame memory folders can be set to shared mode or dedicated mode. In shared mode, logical switchers 1 and 2 can share and use all image data (folders/files). In dedicated mode, logical switchers 1 and 2 can only use the image data in the corresponding dedicated folders. 207
