The procedure for adding a texture pattern is as follows.
Prepare the texture file (next item)

m
Create the texture package (page 38)
m
Install the texture package (page 40)
To prepare a texture file

Create a texture file meeting the following conditions, and save it on a memory
card.
File format: Windows bmp (“bitmap”) (extension: bmp, 24-bit RGB)

File name: alphanumeric (maximum 8 characters) + extension (bmp)
Example: wood_01.bmp
Image size (horizontal × vertical): 128 × 128 to 1024 × 1024 pixels
The maximum number of texture files that can be handled by the system is
related to the image size of the texture files, as shown in the following table
(when all images are the same size).
Maximum number of texture files handled

Dimension (horizontal) 128 pixels 256 pixels 512 pixels 1024 pixels
Dimension (vertical)
128 pixels 64 32 16 8
256 pixels 32 16 8 4
512 pixels 16 8 4 2
1024 pixels 8 4 2 1
Notes
• Different image sizes can be combined, but this affects the total number of
texture files that can be handled.
• The number of texture files that can be handled may be reduced, depending
on the way in which they are stored in memory (see “Texture Package
menu” (page 36)).
• For a texture file with an image size outside the specification, the minimum
enclosing image size is applied (see table above), and the region below and
to the right is filled with black.
Example: a 300 × 200 pixel texture file is treated as 512 × 256 pixels.

The grid display of memory capacity shows the location where the texture
files are stored in memory by bold frames. The grid portion for the texture
file selected in the texture number list is shown in amber.
8 Repeat steps 5 to 7, to assign all of the texture files to texture packages.
Notes
• If you assign a texture file that is already in the texture number list to a
different texture number, then the previous assignment is deleted. (It is

not possible to assign the same texture file to two or more different
texture numbers.)
• In the following cases, texture file assignment is not possible.
– If there is no available memory space (“The rest of the capacity:0”
appears)
– If the selected texture file is too large to fit in the available memory
space
To delete a texture file assignment

Notes
• If you remove the memory card on which the texture file is stored, it is
not possible to create the texture package.
• If a texture package is already present on the memory card, it is
overwritten by a new texture package.
• If you carry out steps 9 and 10 without having assigned even one texture
file, it is not possible to create a texture package.
• If there is insufficient space on the memory card to store the texture
package, an error message appears, and the process is aborted. If this
happens, delete unwanted files from the memory card using your
computer, so that there is enough free space on the memory card, and
repeat the process. (As a guide, the space required is approximately
equal to total number of bytes of the texture files assigned in steps 5 to
8.)

Creating Cross-Point Assign Tables
As cross-point assign tables, you can create a “main” table and up to 14 other
tables (table 1 to table 14). However, you can only carry out assignment of the
video and key combinations in the main table.
Creating the main table

In the main table, a pair consisting of a video signal and a key signal is assigned
to each button number. You can also assign the same signal to another button
number at the same time. Further, you can delete currently assigned signals
from the main table.
To create the main table, use the following procedure.
1 In the Panel >Xpt Assign menu or Panel >Xpt Assign >Table1 (Table2,
Table3, or Table4) menu, press [Main, V/K Pair Assign].
The Main, V/K Pair Assign menu appears.

The left of the status area shows the video and key signal names, source
number, and audio mixer cross-points (machine numbers) currently
assigned in the main table. On the right is a list of the source numbers and
signals that can be assigned. When the shift button is pressed, the number
column is distinguished by color.
For details of audio mixer cross-point assignment operations, see “Setting
the audio mixer cross-points” (page 84).

When Target is Common/Setup: Format (Overall system settings, frame/
field rate, number of lines)
Aspect (overall system settings), Simul, Level Enable, No Action
Notes
• “Level Enable” is a function that determines whether GPI inputs are enabled
(“Enable”) or disabled (“Disable”) for the “Aspect” and “Format” actions
that can be used when the trigger type is Level. When Level Enable is used,
if the input is “Disable” then it is not possible to switch “Aspect” or “Format”
by GPI input.
If a GPI to switch “Aspect” or “Format” occurs when powering the system
off, the action triggered by the GPI may start immediately before the power
goes off and the power may go off before the action is completed. This may
corrupt the setup settings. It is therefore recommended to use Level Enable
to avoid such a situation.
• As for “Aux ? O’ride Src ??,” when “Rising Edge” is selected, on a rising
edge the set AUX bus primary input is used. On a falling edge, the original
state of the cross-point is restored. If the GPI trigger is applied repeatedly at
short intervals (0.5 second or less), the cross-point switching may not be
carried out correctly. In this case, apply the GPI trigger again.

• If “System Format” is selected for “Action” when the format converter is
used, you can set the conversion formats of the format converter for “FC
Input 1-8”.

specified pulse width.
(Falling Edge): The trigger causes the relay contacts to be shorted
or drives the output low, and holds this state for the specified
pulse width.
(Any Edge): Each time the trigger occurs, the relay contacts are
alternately closed or opened, or the output is switched between
high and low.
Status: Depending on the status, the relay contacts are closed or opened,
or the output is switched between high and low.

Note
“Level Enable” is a function that determines whether GPI inputs are enabled
(“Enable”) or disabled (“Disable”) for the “Aspect” and “Format” actions that
can be used when the trigger type is Level. When Level Enable is used, if the
input is “Disable” then it is not possible to switch “Aspect” or “Format” by GPI
input.
If a GPI to switch “Aspect” or “Format” occurs when powering the system off,
the action triggered by the GPI may start immediately before the power goes
off and the power may go off before the action is completed. This may corrupt
the setup settings. It is therefore recommended to use Level Enable to avoid
such a situation.

Router Interface Settings (Router Menu)
In this system, the interface with a router (routing switcher) uses the S-Bus
protocol. It is therefore necessary to assign inputs and outputs of the switcher
and so on to an S-Bus space.
To carry out this assignment, use the Router/Tally >Router menu. The
assignment is common to the parallel and serial tallies.
To display the Router menu

In the Engineering Setup menu, select VF6 ‘Router/Tally’ and HF1 ‘Router.’
The status area shows the device names to be assigned to the S-Bus space, the
matrix size, source address, destination address, and level.

• Matrix Size: Assign the switcher matrix of each switcher processor to S-Bus
space, and select the matrix size and positioning level, source address
settings, and so on.
• External Box: To obtain the signal selection status of external devices with
a parallel input, assign a matrix as an external selector in the S-Bus space.
Make the matrix size, assignment level, source address, and other settings.
• Alias Name Gp: Set the group number for an S-Bus description name to be
displayed in the source name displays for a cross-point operation.
Assigning Switcher Inputs and Outputs to S-Bus Space

1 In the <Device> group of the Router/Tally >Router menu, select the device
to which the settings apply.
SWR1: Settings apply to switcher 1.
SWR2: Settings apply to switcher 2.
Note
When there are two switchers on the same network, the SWR2 (second
switcher) settings are required. If there is only one switcher, the settings
are not required.
2 In the <Matrix Size> group, select the matrix size.

Standard (136 × 138): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at full size. You
can assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus space, but this
causes some waste of S-Bus space.
204 Router Interface Settings (Router Menu)

Compact (128 × 128): Assign the switcher S-Bus space at compact size.
It is not possible to assign all switcher inputs and outputs to the S-Bus
space, but the S-Bus space can be used efficiently.
3 Turn the knobs to set the parameters for the following items.
Source: Specify the start address of the matrix source.
Destination: Specify the start address of the matrix destination.
Level: Specify the level in the S-Bus space.

the MKS-8080/8082 AUX Bus
Remote Panel
Procedure for Simple Connection ...........................................................222
Setting Status of the MKS-8080/8082 in Simple Connection ................224
Procedure for Simple Connection
To connect the MKS-8080/8082 AUX Bus Remote Panel to a CCP-9000

Center Control Panel using an S-Bus data link requires a BKPF-R70A Routing
Switcher Controller Board or similar primary station and various settings for
connection.
However, using a simple connection, the need for an S-Bus data link primary
station is avoided, and direct connection to the MKS-8080/8082 is possible.
A simple connection is possible if the following conditions are met:
• There are no devices other than the CCP-9000 and MKS-8080/8082
connected on the S-Bus data link.
• There are no more than 16 MKS-8080/8082 units connected on the S-Bus
data link.
To carry out simple connection of the MKS-8080/8082 AUX Bus Remote

Panel, use the following procedure.
For settings on the MKS-8080/8082, see the section “Making the Setting With
Buttons (Setup Function)” in the Operation Manual for the MKS-8080/8082.
1 Carry out initialization of the MKS-8080/8082 settings.

This can be done on the MKS-8080/8082 separately.
2 Set the MKS-8080/8082 station number in the range 2 to 17.

This can be done on the MKS-8080/8082 separately.
3 Set the S-Bus data link primary station to the CCP-9000/9000A Center
Control Panel by setting the STATION ID switches S903 on the front of
the board in the SCU SLOT 1 to 001 (switch 1 only to the OPEN position).
System control unit Board STATION ID switches

MKS-9011/9012 CA-52 S903
MKS-9011A/9012A FP-141 S108
4 In the Engineering Setup >System >Initialize menu, select PNL, and carry
out a reset.
This carries out a restart, and when the restart is completed connection to
the MKS-8080/8082 is possible.
5 In the Engineering Setup >Router/Tally > Router menu, set the position of
the MVS-6000 system in S-Bus space.
222 Procedure for Simple Connection

Select the setting from SWR1 and SWR2, and set each of Source,
Destination, and Level to 1.
Procedure for Simple Connection 223

Setting Status of the MKS-8080/8082 in
Simple Connection
As a result of making the simple connection, the MKS-8080/8082 operates in

AUX bus mode, and the settings are the following factory defaults.
With regard to the meaning of the following settings, see the section “Menu
Operations” in the Operation Manual for the MKS-8080/8082.
C: SET SWITCHER ID (for AUX mode)

This is set to 001, which is the station number of the CCP-9000/9000A.
D: SET AUX DESTINATION/SOURCE (for AUX mode)

The source is set to IN001 and following, and destination is set to OUT001 and
following.
H: SET PHANTOM TABLE (for Router mode)

This is unset, since the unit does not operate in router mode.
N: SET PANEL TABLE (for Router mode)

The source is set to IN001 and following, and destination is set to OUT001 and
following. However, since the unit does not operate in router mode, these
settings are not used.
R: SET ROUTE
Since when using the simple connection the switcher and router cannot be
connected in cascade, no route setting is required, and this is unset.
O: SET AVAILABLE SOURCE/DESTINATION

Set the source and destination ranges so that the MVS-6000 inputs and outputs
can be selected.
Y: SET DISPLAY MODES

The DISPLAY MODES/PANEL FUNCTION setting is set to NORMAL. The
TALLY GROUP setting is set to be the same as the setting in Engineering
Setup >Router/Tally >Tally Group on the MVS-6000.
Z: SET PANEL STATUS

The various settings are the same as the factory default settings.
