Control From the BVE-900/2000 Series
You can combine the DFS-700/700P with a BVE-900/910 or BVE-2000
Series Editing Control Unit to carry out A/B roll editing using two players
and one recorder.
For details of preread editing, see the section "Preread Editing" (page 5-14).
Connectable editing control units
To control the DFS-700/700P, the BVE-900/910/2000 and optional BKE-
913 board (for BVE-900/910) must have the following ROM versions or
higher.
BVE-900

Control using editor control signals
You can control the following DFS-700/700P functions using 9-pin serial
control signals from the BVE-900/910/2000. Input these signals to the
EDITOR connector on the rear panel of the DFS-700/700P. The functions
marked with an asterisk below can only be controlled from the BKE-900
after installation of the optional BKE-900K board.)
• Background image (FROM source) and foreground image (TO source)
selection
• Pattern number selection
• Transition direction (normal or reverse) selection
• Transition duration selection
• Automatic transition execution
• Downstream key on and off
• Snapshot saving and recall*
• Saving and loading DFS-700/700P data (snapshots and user program

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 BKE-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.
